The PicoPod is a compact, single-node version of the PicoCluster, designed for versatility and scalability. It features a single-board computer (SBC) in a sleek, desktop-friendly enclosure, complete with power, networking, and cooling. Multiple Pico Pods can be connected to create a customizable, heterogeneous cluster, allowing you to mix and match different boards for a flexible computing solution.
The PicoPod RPI5 PiMoroni M.2 Baseboard Kit is designed to house the RPI5, the RP heatsink/fan combo along with the PiMoroni M.2 Baseboard. This baseboard is used to accommodate M.2 SSD drives.
The Starter Kit comes with the RP AI Kit board, but no RPI5 so you can source your own. The Advanced Kit and Assembled Pod board come with RPI5 8GB boards and the RP M.2 HAT+ board.
The RPI5 is the latest Raspberry board announced in October 2023. This new RPI5 is up to 2-3 times faster compute that the RPI4 with double the memory bandwidth, much faster microSD card access and a new OS called Bookworm.
