EDATEC ED-SBC3300 is an industrial mini-ITX motherboard for the Raspberry Pi CM5

EDATEC ED-SBC3300 is an industrial mini-ITX motherboard designed for the Raspberry Pi CM5 with plenty of ports and headers including HDMI 2.1 and LVDS display interfaces, seven USB 3.0/2.0 interfaces, up to two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a mini PCIe slot for 4G LTE cellular connectivity, RS232 and RS485 interfaces, and more.

Like many Raspberry Pi CM5 hardware platforms, the EDATEC ED-SBC3300 mini-ITX motherboard is not exactly new since it’s basically the same as the EDATEC ED-SBC2300 Raspberry Pi CM4-powered industrial Mini-ITX motherboard, but fitted with a Raspberry Pi CM5 instead. Let’s still have a look at the specifications to see if anything has changed.

The hardware looks the same except for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. Software support is also the same with Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit/64-bit Lite/Desktop supported by the system, and EDATEC provides the necessary drivers. There are however known issues that are not listed for the CM4 and require more work with the CM5:

• The RS485 function is not available at present and needs to be manually modified by EDATEC for this to work… I understand they only do this upon request.
• The read rate of some mSATA SSDs is slow
• Only two RS232 ports (JCOM1 and JCOM2) can be used normally, and software is being worked on for the additional RS232 ports (JCOM3~JCOM6)

EDATEC sells the ED-SBC3310-10432-PH and  ED-SBC3310-10832-PH variants with WiFi and Bluetooth, 4GB or 8GB RAM, 32GB eMMC flash, PoE module, and heatsink (see nomenclature below) on AliExpress for $233.00 and $275 respectively. As a reminder, if you need RS485 you would need to inform them at the time of order. For other models or volume orders, you need to contact the company directly.
