The RISC-V powered Grove AI HAT for Raspberry Pi, your Edge Computing Project Starter.


Got a Raspberry Pi? who does not. Now you can go and do AI research with the AI HAT that Seeed Studio is bringing for $25. The AI HAT brings RISC-V capabilities to the Raspberry Pi for Edge Computing, a $25 add-on to the Raspberry Pi—sitting on top, connecting using the RPi's GPIO connector pins—equipped with a Sipeed MAIX M1 AI Module, which utilizes a Kendryte K210 processor.

The Grove AI HAT for Edge Computing is built around Sipeed MAix M1 AI MODULE with Kendryte K210 processor inside. It’s a low cost but powerful Raspberry Pi AI HAT which assists the Raspberry Pi to run AI at the edge. It also can work independently for edge computing applications.

The Grove AI HAT includes six Grove interfaces, including one each for Digital I/O, PWM, I2C, and UART, and two ADC, as well as an interface for a single LCD and camera each, and a microphone and accelerometer onboard. It also integrates a USB-C 2.0 connector, a JTAG & ISP UART pin header, and two 20-pin headers for I2C, UART, SPI, I2S, PWM, and GPIO.
