Hat AI! for Raspberry Pi 5 [Discontinued]

Introducing the Hat AI! from Pineboards – your gateway to integrating the Google Coral Edge TPU (not included) into your Raspberry Pi 5 projects.

This board is designed for those who want to leverage the power of the Coral TPU’s machine learning capabilities with the versatility of the Raspberry Pi 5, utilising the Pi 5’s PCIe interface.

The dedicated M.2 E-Key slot for an A+E Key Google Coral Edge TPU makes it an indispensable tool for AI enthusiasts and professionals alike.

We also stock the Hat AI! Dual which works with the Dual Edge TPU for more processing performance, as well as the HatDrive! AI, which accepts a Coral Edge TPU and a 2242/2230 NVMe Drive!

We also stock a layer case for this HAT!

Coral Edge TPU and Raspberry Pi 5 not included

PCIe FPC Bundles now available

In case you are thinking about integrating this board into your custom project, don’t overlook the optional Pineboards PCIe FPC Bundle. Utilising the 100mm ribbon cable will provide you with added flexibility during the installation process of our boards.

We now stock an XL version of the bundle too!
