Hardware Reference

Board-level reference for the Sixfab AI HAT+ for Raspberry Pi 5: DEEPX NPU specifications, PCIe Gen 3 x1 link, GPIO header consumption, electrical limits, thermal envelope, and mechanical dimensions.

The hardware reference covers the board itself: what the DEEPX NPU is rated for, how the AI HAT+ attaches to the Raspberry Pi 5, and the electrical and mechanical limits that apply to an integration.

  • Specifications — DX-M1M / DX-M1ML options, PCIe Gen 3 x1 link, power draw, LED behavior, cooling, mechanical dimensions, and compliance status.
  • Pinout & GPIO — which of the 40 header pins the board consumes, the 16-pin FFC PCIe link, the HAT+ EEPROM bus, per-pin electrical limits, and HAT stacking rules.

To mount the board and bring the runtime up, start with the Quickstart.
