These conversion boards are designed to bridge the functionality of Raspberry Pi PCIe HATs to standard PCs. One board transforms the PCIe HAT into a PCIe expansion card, while the other converts it into an M.2 expansion card. This setup allows you to leverage the specific features or add-ons of Raspberry Pi on a PC environment, enhancing compatibility and expanding hardware possibilities.
Features
- Versatility: Converts Raspberry Pi's PCIe HAT to either a PCIe or M.2 format, making it compatible with a broader range of systems beyond just Raspberry Pi.
- Expansion Capability: Enables the use of PCIe or M.2 peripherals on a PC, which might include additional storage, network cards, or specialized hardware like NVMe SSDs.
- Plug and Play: Designed for ease of use, these boards should provide a straightforward installation process, although specific setup might vary based on the PC's hardware configuration.
- Compatibility: Should work with various PCIe and M.2 standards, although exact compatibility details would depend on the specific configurations of both the boards and the PC.
