Ai Bundle (Hailo 8L)

Want to use your Raspberry Pi 5 with a Hailo 8L AI Accelerator but not compromise on storage? We have you covered with the Pineboards AI Bundle! 

This dual-device board offers both an M.2 2230/2242/2280 M-Key connection for your NVMe boot storage, and a M.2 2230 A/E-Key connector, home to the Hailo 8L AI Accelerator. The latter comes with a pre-applied thermal pad to help dissipate the heat whilst it crunches through your camera feeds and image data. 

If you’ve already worked with the Hailo 8L with the Raspberry Pi AI Kit with software such as rpicam-apps, you can simply swap out the HAT and continue using your existing software/projects, with the added benefit of fast, bootable NVMe storage (no need for a microSD card!) 

To ensure a quality connection between your Pi and PCIe devices, the included FPC cable is impedance controlled and our all-metal screws and spacers mean that everything’s nice and secure. Happy days!  

Quick Facts 

Best of both worlds: Get a powerful 13 Tera-operations per second (TOPS) M.2 2230-sized AI Accelerator alongside fast, bootable PCIe Gen 2 NVMe storage 

Familiar software stack: Using the Raspberry Pi AI Kit? Everything will work just the same here! 

Cool under pressure: A pre-installed thermal pad between the Hailo 8L module and the PCB helps to dissipate heat 

High quality accessories: Our standard impedance-controlled PCIe cable ensures a consistent and quality connection to your Raspberry Pi 5. All the provided screws/spacers are metal too, for that premium feel.

Support for M.2 NVMe drives: With an M-Keyed slot supporting 2230, 2242, and 2280 M.2 devices, your options are endless
