Raspberry Pi Pi M.2 HAT Conrad Electronic Instructions
Overview
The Raspberry Pi AI Kit bundles the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo AI acceleration module for use with Raspberry Pi 5. It provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power- efficient way to integrate high-performance AI. Explore applications including process control, security, home automation, and robotics. Contains:
- a Hailo AI module containing a Neural Processing Unit (NPU)
- a Raspberry Pi 2 HAT+, to connect the AI module to your Raspberry Pi 5
- a thermal pad pre-fitted between the module and the 2 HAT+
- a mounting hardware kit
- a 16mm stacking GPIO header
The AI module is a 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip. The module uses the M.2 2242 form factor, and comes pre-installed in the M.2 HAT+, to which it connects through an M key edge connector. The M.2 HAT+ communicates between the AI module’s M.2 interface and the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface.
When the host Raspberry Pi 5 is running an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS image, it automatically detects the Hailo module and makes the NPU available for AI computing tasks. The built-in rpicam-apps camera applications in Raspberry Pi OS natively support the AI module, automatically using the NPU to run compatible post-processing tasks.
