Compute Module 5 Nano Base Board for Raspberry Pi

With the Compute Module 5 Nano Base Board, you can deploy your Raspberry Pi CM5 module in a compact yet powerful way. This carrier board was specifically designed for the CM5, allowing you to harness the full performance of the Compute Module without compromising on easy integration. It is perfect for your development projects, prototypes, or even for use in production systems. The nano size makes it ideal for applications with limited space. Thanks to comprehensive connectivity options such as USB, CSI, and GPIO, the board offers you maximum flexibility. Power is conveniently supplied via USB-C, allowing you to forgo a separate power supply. A microSD slot allows you to use alternative boot media if needed. Cooling options have also been considered - so you can connect a small fan for stable long-term use. The board is also suitable for industrial applications as it is designed for long-term availability and stability.
