Overview
The X1500 is a purpose-built IO board tailored for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). It features two full-size M.2 NVMe slots and integrates a variety of peripherals into an ultra-compact design. This carrier board is meticulously engineered to streamline system development, allowing you to rapidly assemble solutions using readily available off-the-shelf components, such as existing Raspberry Pi HATs and M.2 NVMe devices.
For ease of integration, the board features a streamlined layout with major user connectors positioned along one edge, making enclosure design straightforward and efficient. Whether you're developing with the Compute Module 5 or deploying it as part of an embedded end product, the X1500 is designed to meet your needs with flexibility and performance.

Features
| For use with |
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) |
| Key Features |
CAM/DISP 0 supports both displays or cameras. CAM/DISP 0 supports using a signal to power down the camera to save power. CAM/DISP 1 typically needs two jumpers fitting to J6 to route the I2C signals from the GPIO connector to the camera connector. CAM/DISP 1 can be used with displays and cameras. If it is used with a camera, it isn’t possible to power down the camera. Also refer to Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 IO Board datasheet (Page 5)

| Important Notes |
For optimal performance, please use the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply or an alternative power supply capable of delivering 5.1V at 5A. An incompatible power supply with a lower output voltage may fail to power on the system. |
Matching Case
According to user feedback, we have designed a metal case X1500-C1 / X15-C1 specifically for X1500 / X1501 IO boards. X15-C1 and X1500-C1 have different sizes, different appearances, and the same usage.
Here is a detailed comparison:
| Model | Compatible with | compatibility | Cooler / Heatsink |
|---|---|---|---|
| X15-C1 V1.0 | Raspberry Pi CM5 | X1500/X1501/other low-profile expansion HATs | X15-F1 |
| X1500-C1 | Raspberry Pi CM5 | X1500/X1501 | C519 |
Please note: The metal case will shield the wifi signal, so please use Ethernet when you use this case

Installation Tips for C519 & X1500/X1501:
Since both the C519 heatsink and PCB holes are threaded, proper alignment and minimal spacing are crucial during assembly. Carefully align the C519 with the PCB mounting holes, press down firmly until the heatsink touches the PCB, then tighten the screws.

FAQ
Q. Why can't X1500/X1501 boot up?
A:Due to PD power compatibility issues, some PD power supplies may cause X1500/X1501 to fail to boot up. Please replace the official Raspberry Pi 5 power supply or Geekworm PSU20 power supply.
Q: Does the X1500/X1501 support Hailo-8 M.2 AI Accelerator?
A: According to the test, the X1500/X1501 can support one Hailo-8 M.2 AI Accelerator Module and one M.2 Key-M NVMe SSD.
Q: Is X1500/X1501 compatible with POE+ Hat?
A: We tested the [Official Raspberry Pi4 POE+ Hat] and it can be compatible, but the cooling fan did not work, probably due to the OS configuration. If you are interested, you can also test it and look forward to your sharing of your suggestions.
Q: Is the X1501 2.5G ethernet port on the PICe bus along with the M.2 devices?
A: No, the X1501 2.5G Ethernet port is connected via the USB 3.0 interface.
Q: How to configure for an external antenna?
A: When using an external antenna, you need to configure the device accordingly. Please follow the official Raspberry Pi documentation for the configuration steps: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/compute-module.html#antenna
Q: What driver do I need for the X1501 2.5GbE Ethernet on OpenWrt?
A: No additional driver is required. Once the X1501 is installed on the CM5, it works just like a Raspberry Pi 5, and the 2.5GbE Ethernet can be used directly under OpenWrt.
