[CNX-Software] - Brainchip AKD1500 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit enables users to quickly experiment with event-based neuromorphic AI

A few weeks ago, we noted that the Brainchip AKD1500 M.2 module could work with the Raspberry Pi 5 using a compatible M.2 HAT+ expansion card to evaluate the solution or develop applications using the company’s low-power, low-latency neuromorphic AI technology. To make things even easier, they’ve now introduced the AKD1500 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit that packs a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB, an official M.2 HAT+, and an Akida AKD1500 M.2 B+M-Key card into a metal case. Most ports from the Raspberry Pi 5 are exposed, namely the Gigabit Ethernet port, the four USB connectors, the two HDMI video outputs,  and the USB-C port for power. The Raspberry Pi 5 power button and an LED on the M.2 HAT+ are also visible through openings in the metal case. The kit requires a camera for operation, but instead of relying on a MIPI CSI-based Raspberry Pi Camera module, users are [...]
