Raspberry Pi unveils PCIe FFC connector specs and HAT+ standard for enhanced add-ons
Raspberry Pi has released specifications for the PCIe FFC connector found in the Raspberry Pi 5 and future models, including the pinout diagram and cable recommendations. Additionally, the company has introduced the new HAT+ standard for expansion boards, which is simpler and allows for more flexibility in physical dimensions. HAT+ boards must be compatible with the STANDBY power state, and the EEPROM content is now simpler. The final version of the HAT+ specification and an official M.2 HAT+ board will be released next year.
