Compatibility
The Raspberry Pi 5 works with any standard 5V USB-C power supply (official 27W recommended) and is compatible with most Raspberry Pi HATs, cameras (MIPI), and displays (DSI). It runs Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and other ARM Linux distributions. The 40-pin GPIO is backward-compatible with previous models.
Wiring Notes
Ensure you use a high-quality USB-C power supply capable of delivering 5V at 5A for full performance. The board includes a dedicated fan header for active cooling; connect a fan to pins 4 (5V) and 6 (GND) for optimal thermal management under load.
