AI Quickstart

This page provides an overview of AI capabilities and setup for the IRIV EdgeAI CM5 based on the official datasheet.

AI Hardware Support​

The IRIV EdgeAI CM5 includes hardware provisions for AI acceleration:

Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ Support​

FeatureDescription
PCIe PortDedicated PCIe connection for Raspberry Pi AI HAT+
GPIO Header40-pin header with key pins for HAT+ identification
Form FactorCompatible with standard Raspberry Pi AI HAT+

The PCIe port for the AI HAT+ is similar to the PCIe port on Raspberry Pi 5.

GPIO Header for AI HAT+​

The GPIO header connects to the AI HAT+ with the following pins:

PinFunction
5V5V power supply to AI HAT+
3V33.3V power supply to AI HAT+
GNDGround
ID_SCI2C clock for HAT+ EEPROM
ID_SDI2C data for HAT+ EEPROM

Note: The HAT+ EEPROM is used for automatic identification of the HAT+ by Raspberry Pi.

Camera Inputs​

The IRIV EdgeAI CM5 provides dual camera inputs for vision-based AI applications:

PortSpecification
MIPI022-way MIPI port for CSI camera
MIPI122-way MIPI port for CSI camera

Both ports support standard Raspberry Pi CSI cameras.

AI HAT+ Installation​

To install the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+:

  1. Power off the device and disconnect all cables
  2. Remove the enclosure cover
  3. Align the AI HAT+ with the GPIO header and PCIe connector
  4. Press down firmly to seat the HAT+ on both connectors
  5. Secure with standoffs if required
  6. Reassemble the enclosure

Software Configuration​

Note: Specific AI software stack details, frameworks, and model support are not specified in the official datasheet. Refer to Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ documentation for software setup instructions.

For AI HAT+ software setup, consult:

  • Official Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ documentation
  • Raspberry Pi OS AI software packages

The official getting started tutorial references the following related topics:

  • AI Processor setup
  • AI Computer Vision implementation

Note: Detailed procedures for these topics are not included in the datasheet. Refer to the official Cytron tutorials for step-by-step guides.

Vision System Considerations​

When designing vision-based AI applications:

  1. Camera Selection: Use compatible CSI cameras with the 22-pin MIPI connector
  2. Dual Camera: Both MIPI ports can be used simultaneously for stereo vision or multi-angle capture
  3. Lighting: The LED lighting driver outputs (L0, L1) can be used for controlled illumination
  4. Processing: AI HAT+ provides dedicated acceleration for inference workloads

Performance Notes​

Performance specifications, supported AI models, inference speeds, and benchmark data are not specified in the official datasheet.
