Waveshare Gigabit / 2.5G Dual Ethernet Mini-Computer (B) Based On Raspberry Pi CM5 (NOT included), Dual RJ45 Ethernet Ports, Supports 4K Display Output And Dual MIPI Interfaces

The Gigabit / 2.5G Dual Ethernet Mini-Computer (B) is a compact yet powerful embedded solution designed for networking, edge computing, and industrial applications. Built to support the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) (not included), this mini-computer delivers enhanced connectivity and performance in a space-efficient design.

Equipped with dual RJ45 Ethernet ports, including Gigabit and 2.5G high-speed networking, it is ideal for use as a soft router, firewall, network gateway, or IoT edge controller. The board supports 4K display output, enabling high-resolution visual applications such as digital signage and monitoring systems.

With dual MIPI interfaces, the device allows seamless integration of cameras or display modules, making it suitable for AI vision, surveillance, and multimedia processing projects. Its versatile I/O and robust architecture make it a reliable platform for developers and system integrators.

User Manual / Datasheet / Example Codes Etc.

Features

• Do not plug or unplug any devices other than USB and HDMI while the system is powered on
• The Type-C port can be used as a USB SLAVE interface for flashing images or powering the device
• Onboard 2 USB ports, with a total maximum current output of 2A (1x USB 3.2 Gen1 + 1x USB 2.0 port)
• Supports triple independent displays. When a MIPI DSI driver is added, the system will default to connecting to it regardless of whether a screen is connected, and the screen will display in split-screen mode (depending on the system version)
• Onboard M.2 M KEY interface, supports NVMe SSD protocol (or PCIe protocol AI modules)
• Onboard BOOT switch: Before powering on, slide the BOOT switch to ON and connect via Type-C to a computer to put the device into flashing mode
• When flashing via Type-C, do not connect other devices; otherwise, insufficient power may prevent the device from being recognized
