Raspberry Pi is putting the finishing touches on its official M.2 HAT boards for the Raspberry Pi 5. While we wait for the official boards, Pi retailer Pimoroni has its NVMe Base, a lovely slice of PCB. Its simple monochromatic silk screen belies how useful this little board can be.
Straight off the bat, this is another classic Pimoroni design. A clear and simple silk screen tells us which NVMe drive sizes we can use, and confirms where we should connect the drive and the ribbon cable between the Pi 5 and the NVMe Base.
