It connects via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, uses pogo pins and a mechanical clamp to interface with the module, and pairs with the open-source rpi-sb-provisioner software for automated workflows including secure boot, full disk encryption, and bare OS installation. The jig is available now for $600 from Raspberry Pi distributors. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I flash an OS onto a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 without a carrier board? Use the official Compute Module 5 Programming Jig, a single-head provisioning device that clamps onto the CM5 via pogo pins. Flash the jig itself with the Compute Module Programming Jig OS using Raspberry Pi Imager, power cycle it, then connect over Ethernet or Wi-Fi to access a localhost web interface via Raspberry Pi Connect for transferring OS images and provisioning. _daily.dev surfaces hardware provisioning workflows like this for engineers automating Raspberry Pi deployments._ ### What does the rpi-sb-provisioner software do for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 provisioning? It automates the CM5 provisioning workflow, handling secure boot implementation, full disk encryption, and bare operating system installation. It works alongside the official CM5 Programming Jig, exposing a localhost-only web interface (accessed via Raspberry Pi Connect) where developers configure security mode, manufacturing database, and signing keys before programming the module. _Engineers automating secure device provisioning follow tools like rpi-sb-provisioner through daily.dev._ ### How much does the official Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Programming Jig cost? It costs $600 and is available from Raspberry Pi distributors. The jig includes gigabit Ethernet ports for both the network and the device under test, Wi-Fi connectivity, a USB-C boot connector, LED status indicators, and runs on 12V/2A DC power, weighing about 1.8 kg with dimensions of 181.5 x 170 x 153 mm. _Teams budgeting for hardware provisioning tools can track pricing details like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Hands On WIth The Raspberry Pi Compute Module Zero](https://daily.dev/posts/hands-on-with-the-raspberry-pi-compute-module-zero-m4k101g9h) · Hackaday · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [$30 Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module for CM5 targets digital signage displays and kiosks](https://daily.dev/posts/30-raspberry-pi-smart-display-module-for-cm5-targets-digital-signage-displays-and-kiosks-5gmp2chgi) · CNX Software · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [CM0 - a new Raspberry Pi you can't buy](https://daily.dev/posts/cm0---a-new-raspberry-pi-you-can-t-buy-7oxr5ojeu) · Jeff Geerling · 25 upvotes · 0 comments - [A cheaper Raspberry Pi CM5 alternative based on Allwinner T527 octa-core SoC](https://daily.dev/posts/a-cheaper-raspberry-pi-cm5-alternative-based-on-allwinner-t527-octa-core-soc-8q5oklu3j) · CNX Software · 5 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#embedded](https://daily.dev/tags/embedded), [#raspberry-pi](https://daily.dev/tags/raspberry-pi) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-gets-an-official-programming-jig-t5ycbd5aa) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 gets an official programming jig","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-gets-an-official-programming-jig-t5ycbd5aa","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-gets-an-official-programming-jig-t5ycbd5aa"},"datePublished":"2026-08-19T07:03:45.220Z","dateModified":"2026-08-20T04:00:18.620Z","description":"Raspberry Pi has launched an official Programming Jig for the Compute Module 5, a single-head provisioning tool that flashes an OS onto the CM5 without needing...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/38aea5a178c6ae5abb5fb70d54cd14bb?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/38aea5a178c6ae5abb5fb70d54cd14bb?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"CNX Software","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"CNXSoft","url":"https://daily.dev/cnxsoft","image":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1366138?v=4","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"EndorseAction"},"userInteractionCount":490}},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-gets-an-official-programming-jig-t5ycbd5aa","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"security,hardware,embedded,raspberry-pi","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"CNX Software","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/cnx-software"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 gets an official programming jig"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-gets-an-official-programming-jig-t5ycbd5aa#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I flash an OS onto a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 without a carrier board?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Use the official Compute Module 5 Programming Jig, a single-head provisioning device that clamps onto the CM5 via pogo pins.
