Note
You can order AIO-CM5-156 from the official Chipsee Store or from your nearest distributor.
Pi® CM5 Module¶
The Pi® Compute Module 5 appears in different versions (different RAM size: 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB SDRAM based on CM5 and different eMMC size: 0GB, 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB based on CM5).
The AIO-CM5-156 all in one Pi PC does not include the CM5 Raspberry Pi® module by default.
If you would like to purchase it with a CM5, you can select it at the Chipsee store during the ordering process.
Operating System¶
This product comes with a pre-installed Raspberry Pi OS. Chipsee software engineers have created all the drivers, so every hardware feature is readily available for any standard development tool.
If your project requires a different OS, please Contact us, and we’ll make a customized version that suits your needs.
Optional Features¶
The product has a m.2 2280 slot, running at PCIe 2.0 x1 speed (PCIe 3.0 is possible but experimental for CM5), you can use it with your NVMe SSD or other modules that can fit in a m.2 2280 M-key slot and supports the protocol. By default the NVMe SSD is not mounted.
The installation DIY is easy, unscrew all the screws in the back of the product, and then plug a thin (plastic is a good choice) chip into the bottom edge of the back case, swipe left and right to unlock the fastener of the panel, then carefully open it up. Be careful not to accidentally break the wires connecting the screen and the PCB when you open up the back case.
