Testing the Raspberry Pi 5 for GPIO compatibility

On the 28th of September, 2023, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the highly anticipated Raspberry Pi 5.

The Raspberry Pi 5 comes with a powerful Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm Cortex A76 processor, running at an impressive 2.4GHz. This represents a substantial advancement over its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4, with a processing speed that is up to three times faster. The enhanced processing capabilities of the Cortex A76 promise a smoother and more responsive experience, opening up new possibilities for a wide range of applications.

Keenly aware of the significance of this release, we acquired the latest Raspberry Pi 5 to conduct compatibility tests with our existing range of Raspberry Pi expansion boards. After testing and examination, we are delighted to share that our current lineup of expansion boards is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5.

Whether you use our IO Pi Plus for more Raspberry Pi GPIO pins, our ADC Pi for analogue-to-digital conversion, or our Serial Pi Plus for RS232 communication, you can seamlessly integrate these expansion boards with the Raspberry Pi 5.
