### AI overview

The article reports on ARK Electronics' Just A Pi, a small NDAA-compliant carrier board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. It describes its connectors, interfaces, dimensions, weight, supported modules, installation requirements, and pricing.

### Source excerpt

ARK Just A Pi is a tiny NDAA-compliant carrier board for the Raspberry Pi CM5 designed for drones, robots, or other space-constrained embedded applications that's about the size of the Compute Module itself. This follows ARK Electronics' NDAA-compliant ARK Jetson Orin NX/Nano bundles introduced in 2024. The new "Just A Pi" is much smaller and lighter, features a built-in 100 Mbps Ethernet switch with two JST-GH Ethernet ports, a micro HDMI port, two MIPI CSI camera connectors, a microSD card slot, a PCIe FFC connector, a USB 3.0 Type-C dual role connector, and a range of small connectors for UART, SPI, PWM, GPIO, and fan. It also features a power connector for the company's PAB power modules. ARK Just A Pi specifications: Supported SoM Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 - Full support Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 - The following interfaces are not supported: CSI1/CAM1, UART2, USB-C, PCIe, and fan [...] The post ARK Just A Pi - A tiny NDAA-compliant Raspberry Pi CM5 carrier board for drones and robots appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

### AI overview

Hands-on evaluation of Raspberry Pi's CM5 Programming Jig for provisioning and flashing Raspberry Pi OS onto multiple Compute Modules. The article covers its workflow, setup, web interface, imaging tools, pricing, and comparison with Everypin's CM5 Flash Jig.

### Source excerpt

In the before-times, when Raspberry Pi CM5s were (relatively) affordable, I built a number of Pi clusters (example), and one of the most annoying parts of the build was flashing Raspberry Pi OS to all the Pis. One, two, or even three Pis isn't a big deal, but once you hit 4+, the process of plugging the Compute Module into a carrier board, plugging that into a computer, managing Raspberry Pi Imager, and trying to match up details like a hostname, MAC address, and the physical Pi itself, gets annoying.
