This board is made exclusively for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) and comes with different features onboard such as a CM5 socket compatible with all CM5 variants, dual HDMI ports supporting 4K output, and dual MIPI interfaces for connecting DSI displays or CSI cameras.
It also comes with two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports and two USB 2.0 ports for all your USB connection needs. Networking is handled via the Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connector with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing both data and power transmission over a single power-injected cable. An M.2 M-Key slot is available for NVMe SSDs and an SD card slot is located underneath the board for Lite CM5 variants.
There is also a 40-pin GPIO header for HATs, an RTC with a battery holder for timekeeping, and a fan connector to attach a fan. A 5V/5A USB Type-C port is onboard for traditional power options.
