Minimal CM5 Project Design
Add the minimum required set of components needed to run a simple project using the CM5. Keep the design as minimal and practical as possible while ensuring the module can boot and operate reliably.
Include only the essential supporting circuitry:
Power input and regulation
Decoupling capacitors
Required clocks or pull-ups/pull-downs
Avoid unnecessary features or complex expansion circuitry
Optimize for simplicity and fast prototyping
Keep the BOM as small as possible
Thought for 10 sec
I’ll turn the CM5 template into a minimal bootable carrier: first I’ll inspect the module pins and CM5 power requirements, then add only the power input/regulation and required passives/pull resistors, wire them, and run validation.

Use USB-C input
Use terminal input
Add boot essentials
Check power sequencing
Run ERC/DRC
