What's the differences

CM5 Base Board	Interface count and specifications
	PoE	Gigabit ETH	40PIN GPIO	PCIe	USB①	MIPI	HDMI	RTC	Fan Header②	Power Input	Features
mini Base A		×1	√	16PIN PCIe	3.0×2 2.0×2	×2	×2	ML/CR1220	√	5V	mini size
PoE Base	√	×1	√	M.2 M	3.0×2 2.0×2	×2	×2	ML/CR1220	√	5V	USB×4
Raspberry Pi official	③	×1	√	M.2 M	3.0×2	×2	×2	ML/CR1220	√	5V	Official IO base board
Note	① USB 3.0 is equivalent to USB 3.2 Gen1. ② Unless otherwise specified, the Fan header usually is JST-SH type connector. ③ There's PoE header only on the Raspberry Pi official IO board without PoE circuit, which means additional PoE module is required for the official IO board to enable PoE feature. Unless otherwise specified, the PoE feature here stands for integrating 802.3af-compliant PoE circuit (5V/2.5A).

Connecting with Compute Module 5

standard CM5 socket and color-coded Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header
suitable for Compute Module 5 Lite/eMMC series module

Compact, yet Complete

onboard multiple connectors, more convenient to use

Application example

for reference only, the CM5, displays, and cameras are NOT included.
