Raspberry Pi Releases Compute Module 5 Programming Jig for Automated Provisioning Workflows
August 19, 2026
News
Raspberry Pi released its Compute Module 5 Programming Jig. The solution is a single-head provisioning system engineered to program one Compute Module 5 (CM5) at a time with an operating system and security configuration.
To automate provisioning workflow, users can go to github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-sb-provisioner for setup help. The jig is capable of general configurations such as including secure boot implementation, full disk encryption, and custom OS installation.
Connecting to the provisioning network is through either Ethernet or Wi-Fi with an additional Ethernet port for efficient software transfer. There is no need for a separate carrier board due to Pogo pins that interface directly with the module. A mechanical clamping mechanism secures the module along with an LED for progress status.
What’s in the Box:
- Compute Module 5 Programming Jig
- Global power supply with 110 V to 240 V AC input and 12 V DC, 2 A (24 W) output
- Wi-Fi antenna
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig is available here for US $600.
