The CM5 is ideal for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment and automation systems to gateways and kiosks. Its compact size of 5.5cm by 4cm allows it to fit seamlessly into custom hardware designs. The module is mechanically compatible with the previous Compute Module 4, offering an easy upgrade path for existing projects.
One of the standout features is its VideoCore VII GPU, which supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.3, ensuring smooth graphics performance. The hardware video decoding capability supports up to 4Kp60 HEVC, making it suitable for high-definition video applications. The inclusion of dual 4-lane MIPI camera/display interfaces and up to 30 GPIO further enhances its versatility for complex projects.
The wireless version of the CM5 includes an onboard antenna and the flexibility to connect an external antenna via the U.FL connector, providing robust connectivity options. With support for PCIe 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0, the module is equipped to handle demanding data transfer requirements. It is supported for production through at least January 2036, ensuring long-term reliability and availability for your projects.
