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.
