The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig is an official production-grade provisioning solution designed to simplify and automate the programming of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) at scale.

Designed for OEMs, manufacturers and production environments, the Programming Jig enables fast and repeatable installation of operating systems and security configurations onto CM5 modules.

Moving a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5-based product from prototype to volume production requires an efficient and repeatable way to configure every module.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig is designed specifically for this purpose.

It is a single-head provisioning system that allows manufacturers to program Compute Module 5 modules with the required operating system and security configuration as part of their production process.

Once the Programming Jig has been configured, the operator simply places the Compute Module 5 into the module bay and closes the mechanical clamp. The provisioning process can then run automatically, with status LEDs indicating the programming status.

This makes the CM5 Programming Jig particularly valuable for businesses manufacturing and deploying hundreds or thousands of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5-based devices.

• Official Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig
• Specifically designed for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5
• Single-head CM5 provisioning system
• Designed for repeatable, high-volume production workflows
• Direct connection to the Compute Module 5
• Simple mechanical clamp-based operation
• Automated operating system installation
• Supports secure boot provisioning
• Supports full-disk encryption provisioning
• Dedicated Ethernet connectivity for the Jig and target CM5
• USB interface for updating the Programming Jig software
• Dedicated activity LEDs for programming status
• Designed to reduce manual intervention during CM5 provisioning
• Built around Raspberry Pi's official software ecosystem

After the Programming Jig has been set up for your required production environment, provisioning a new module is straightforward:

1. Insert the Compute Module 5 into the module bay.
2. Close the mechanical clamp.
3. The configured provisioning process runs automatically.
4. Monitor the status LEDs.
5. Once programming is complete, remove the CM5 and proceed with the next module.

This provides manufacturers with a consistent and repeatable process when provisioning large quantities of Compute Module 5.

The Compute Module 5 Programming Jig works with Raspberry Pi's software tools including rpi-image-gen and rpi-sb-provisioner.

This allows production workflows to automate functions including:

• Raspberry Pi OS installation
• Custom operating system image deployment
• Secure boot implementation
• Full-disk encryption
• Device configuration
• Production provisioning

The Programming Jig can also be customised for specific deployment requirements, including network, Wi-Fi, security and user configurations.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig provides connectivity for both the Programming Jig itself and the Compute Module being provisioned, including:

• JIG Ethernet
• DUT Ethernet
• USB Programming Port
• Status / Activity LEDs

For faster network-based provisioning, both the JIG ETH and DUT ETH interfaces can be connected to the same network.

For a handful of Compute Modules, manual programming may be manageable. At production scale, however, the process needs to be fast, repeatable and consistent.

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig provides manufacturers with a purpose-built solution for integrating CM5 provisioning directly into their production workflow.

Instead of manually configuring every Compute Module, manufacturers can establish their required provisioning configuration and use the Jig to reproduce it across their production units.

This makes it an important production tool for companies moving from CM5 development and prototyping into commercial manufacturing and volume deployment.
