Frequently Asked Questions

What type of PCIe devices can I connect to the X1010?

The X1010 supports standard PCIe x4 slot cards, enabling a wide range of devices. This includes NVMe SSDs for high-speed storage, Gigabit/10GbE network cards, USB expansion cards, and even AI accelerators or graphics cards for specific edge computing applications with compatible drivers.

How does the X1010 power the Raspberry Pi 5 and connected PCIe devices?

It uses a 12V DC input (via DC jack or ATX 4-pin) with high-efficiency DC/DC converters. It supplies up to 5.5A to the Raspberry Pi 5 via pogo pins, and 3.3V at 5.5A for the connected PCIe device, consolidating power from a single source efficiently.

Can I use Raspberry Pi HATs simultaneously with the X1010?

Yes, the X1010 is designed to connect to the underside of the Raspberry Pi 5. This allows the top-side GPIO header to remain free, enabling you to use your preferred HATs or HAT+ boards without conflict, maximizing the Pi 5's expandability.

What is the significance of the HAT+ STANDBY power state compatibility?

The HAT+ STANDBY power state compatibility means the X1010 automatically powers off the connected PCIe device when the Raspberry Pi 5 is shut down. This intelligent power management feature helps conserve energy and ensures proper system shutdown sequences, improving reliability and operational efficiency.
