## Blueprint

**Closed design.** Raspberry Pi Foundation has never released Pi 5 mainboard schematics, only a mechanical drawing; a small unofficial reverse-engineered KiCad project covers isolated circuits only.

### Design files

- manual: [Mechanical drawing (PDF)](https://pip.raspberrypi.com/documents/RP-008347-DS) (PDF)

### Source repositories

- [Knio/rpi5re](https://github.com/Knio/rpi5re) — hardware, ★1

### Key parts

| Part | Role | Datasheet |
|---|---|---|
| Broadcom BCM2712 | SoC (4x Cortex-A76 CPU + VideoCore VII GPU) |  |

_Notes:_ Verified via WebSearch (Raspberry Pi forum threads state there are no plans to release Pi 5 schematics) and gh api on Knio/rpi5re: repo has .kicad_sch/.kicad_pcb but its minimal README and included images (HDMI pins, PMIC) indicate partial reverse-engineering of specific nets, not a full-board schematic. BCM2712 has no public datasheet.

### Raw source files

Direct links an agent or KiCad can open (the viewer on the page reads the same files).

## Specifications

### Compute & connectivity

| | |
|---|---|
| Processor | BCM2712; four Cortex-A76 cores at 2.4 GHz |
| Memory options | 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 GB LPDDR4X-4267 |
| Graphics | VideoCore VII; OpenGL ES 3.1 / Vulkan 1.3 |
| Displays | Two micro-HDMI outputs; dual 4K60 HDR; HEVC 4K60 decode |
| Network | 2.4/5 GHz 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5/BLE, Gigabit Ethernet |
| USB peripherals | Two USB 3.0 ports at 5 Gbps each; two USB 2.0 |

### Storage & expansion

| | |
|---|---|
| Boot storage | microSD with SDR104; PCIe 2.0 ×1 for an external adapter |
| NVMe | Separate M.2 HAT/adapter and drive required |
| Camera/display ports | Two four-lane MIPI ports; 22-pin, 0.5 mm connectors |
