Raspberry Pi AI Kit

The Raspberry Pi AI Kit bundles the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo AI accelerationmodule for use with Raspberry Pi 5. It provides an accessible, cost-effective, and power efficientway to integrate high-performance AI. Explore applications including processcontrol, security, home automation, and robotics. Contains:• a Hailo AI module containing a Neural Processing Unit (NPU)• a Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+, to connect the AI module to your Raspberry Pi 5• a thermal pad pre-fitted between the module and the M.2 HAT+• a mounting hardware kit• a 16mm stacking GPIO headerThe AI module is a 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural network inferenceaccelerator 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 edgeconnector. The M.2 HAT+ communicates between the AI module’s M.2 interface and theRaspberry 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 computingtasks. The built-in rpicam-apps camera applications in Raspberry Pi OS natively supportthe AI module, automatically using the NPU to run compatible post-processing tasks.   SpecificationFeatures: Contains a neural network inference accelerator capable of13 tera-operations per second (TOPS)Fully integrated into Raspberry Pi’s camera software stackThermal pad pre-fitted between module and HAT+ spreads heatacross components, improving performanceConforms to Raspberry Pi HAT+ specificationSupplied with 16mm stacking header, spacers, and screws toenable fitting on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi Active Coolerin placeOperating temperature: 0℃ to 50℃ (ambient)   Overview The AI module is a 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip.
