Today we’re happy to announce the much-anticipated launch of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, the modular version of our flagship Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer, priced from just $45.
We founded the Raspberry Pi Foundation back in 2008 with a mission to give today’s young people access to the sort of approachable, programmable, affordable computing experience that I benefitted from back in the 1980s.
The Raspberry Pi computer was, in our minds, a spiritual successor to the BBC Micro, itself the product of the BBC’s Computer Literacy Project.
But just as the initially education-focused BBC Micro quickly found a place in the wider commercial computing marketplace, so Raspberry Pi became a platform around which countless companies, from startups to multi-billion-dollar corporations, chose to innovate.
Today, between seventy and eighty percent of Raspberry Pi units go into industrial and embedded applications.
While many of our commercial customers continue to use the “classic” single-board Raspberry Pi form factor, there are those whose needs aren’t met by that form factor, or by the default set of peripherals that we choose to include on the SBC product.
So, in 2014 we released the first Raspberry Pi Compute Module, providing just the core functionality of Raspberry Pi 1 – processor, memory, non-volatile storage and power regulation – in an easy-to-integrate SODIMM module.
Compute Modules make it easier than ever for embedded customers to build custom products which benefit from our enormous investments in the Raspberry Pi hardware and software platform.
Every subsequent generation of Raspberry Pi, except for Raspberry Pi 2, has spawned a Compute Module derivative.
And today, we’re happy to announce the launch of Compute Module 5, the modular version of our flagship Raspberry Pi 5 SBC.
Compute Module 5 gives you everything you love about Raspberry Pi 5, but in a smaller package:
It is available with 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM, and with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of MLC eMMC non-volatile memory. 16GB SDRAM variants are expected to follow in 2025.
Compute Module 5 is mechanically compatible with its predecessor, Compute Module 4, exposing all signals through a pair of high-density perpendicular connectors, which attach to corresponding parts on the customer’s carrier board.
Additional stability is provided by four M2.5 mounting holes arranged at the corners of the board.
There are a small number of changes to the pin-out and electrical behaviour of the module, mostly associated with the removal of the two two-lane MIPI interfaces, and the addition of two USB 3.0 interfaces.
A detailed summary of these changes can be found in the Compute Module 5 datasheet.
But Compute Module 5 is only part of the story. Alongside it, we’re offering a range of new accessories to help you get the most out of our new modular platform.
Every generation of Compute Module has been accompanied by an IO board, and Compute Module 5 is no exception.
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 IO Board breaks out every interface from a Compute Module 5.
It serves both as a development platform and as reference baseboard (with design files in KiCad format), reducing the time to market for your Compute Module 5-based designs.
The IO Board features:
Power is provided by a USB-C power supply (sold separately).
As in previous generations, we expect some users to deploy the IO Board and Compute Module combination as a finished product in its own right: effectively an alternative Raspberry Pi form factor with all the connectors on one side.
To support this, we are offering a metal case which turns the IO Board into a complete encapsulated industrial-grade computer.
The Raspberry Pi IO Case for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 includes an integrated fan, which can be connected to the 4-pin fan connector on the IO Board to improve thermal performance.
While Compute Module 5 is our most efficient modular product yet in terms of energy consumed per instruction executed, like all electronic products it gets warm under load.
The Raspberry Pi Cooler for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is a finned aluminium heatsink, designed to fit on a Compute Module 5, and including thermal pads to optimise heat transfer from the CPU, memory, wireless module and eMMC.
Wireless-enabled variants of Compute Module 5 provide both an onboard PCB antenna, and a UFL connector for an external antenna.
Use of the Raspberry Pi Antenna Kit (identical to that already offered for use with Compute Module 4) with Compute Module 5 is covered by our FCC modular compliance.
The Raspberry Pi Development Kit for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 comprises a Compute Module 5, an IO Board, and all the other accessories you need to start building your own design:
