Raspberry Pi 5 provides two four-lane MIPI connectors, each of which can support either a camera or a display. These connectors use the same 22-way, 0.5mm-pitch “mini” FPC format and require adapter cables to connect to the 15-way, 1mm-pitch “standard” format connectors on current Raspberry Pi camera and display products.
Note that a camera cable should not be used with a display, and vice versa.

This is a Raspberry Pi HDMI to CSI-2 Module with Toshiba TC358743XBG chip, HDMI input supports up to 1080p25fps. This module does not support OctoPi.
Many have used this module as KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), or sometimes is called Keyboard Video Mouse :) This device helps to manage servers or workstations remotely, regardless of the health of the operating system or whether one is installed. You can fix any problem, configure the BIOS, and even reinstall the OS using the virtual CD-ROM or Flash Drive.

What's in the box?
2 x DIY Acrylic Case layers
4 x 5mm standoffs
4 x 18mm standoffs
8 x M2.5x6 screws
4 x rubber feet
Case Assembly guide
- Peel the acrylic protective film from the two plates
- Install the standoffs first. Push the male part of the short standoffs through the RPi board mounting holes from the bottom upwards. Use the Female Female standoffs as nuts on the top of the RPi board.
- Mount the active cooler and plugin the cable
- Mount the top and bottom acrylic plates using the eight M2.5x8 screws to hold them in place
- Mount the rubber feet at the bottom
Hint
Why are there four extra holes on the bottom plate?
If you buy four 5mm standoffs with M2.5 nuts and M2.5x4 screws, you'll be able to mount an HQ camera on the bottom plate of the case, on which you can then add a tripod.

You might also need one of our tested 128GB, 256GB or 512GB NVMe drives or a clear acrylic case to protect your RPi5 and NVMe Base.
NVMe Base is a PCIe extension board for Raspberry Pi 5. Simply populate it with an M-key NVMe SSD (2230 to 2280 sizes supported) and mount it under your Pi for a compact and fast storage solution - It even comes with rubber feet!
It's the perfect solution for turning your Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media centre, reverse proxy, etc. - really any task that benefits from large amounts of fast storage, especially with random high operations per second (IOPS) workloads. In short it's a game changer!
NVMe base follows the new "PIP" design guidelines provided by Raspberry Pi ensuring that it will be easy to use and be supported long term by updates to Raspberry Pi OS - though it is very early days and things are improving rapidly there!
What's in the box?
1 x NVMe Base PCB with M.2 Slot (M-Key)
1 x 'PCIe Pipe' Flat Flex Cable
4 x Rubber feet
1 x M2 bolt and 2x nuts for SSD mounting
4 x 7mm M2.5 standoffs for base mounting
8 x short M2.5 bolts for base mounting
4 x long M2.5 bolts for 'pass-thru' mounting with a HAT
You might also need...
- a NVMe drive. Make sure you choose one that fits your NVMe board.
- an acrylic case or metal case to house your new setup
Driver compatibility
We have tested NVMe Base with the following M.2 NVMe drives successfully. We have usually tested one drive from one batch, so this is not comprehensive, or an 'Approved' list, but it's a good guide for drives to seek out:
- AData Legend 700
- AData Legend 800
- AData XPG SX8200 Pro
- Axe Memory Generic Drive
- Crucial P2 M.2
- Crucial P3 M.2
- Crucial P3 Plus M.2
- Inland PCIe NVMe SSD
- Kingston KC3000
- Kioxia Exceria NVMe SSD
- Kioxia Exceria G2 NVMe SSD
- Lexar NM620
- Lexar NM710
- Netac NV2000 NVMe SSD
- Netac NV3000 NVMe SSD
- Origin Inception TLC830 Pro NVMe
- PNY CS1030
- Sabrent Rocket 4.0
- Sabrent Rocket Nano
- Samsung 980
- Samsung 980 Pro (500GB/1TB)
- Team MP33
- Western Digital Black SN750 SE (Phison Controller
' Maybe' List. Works with quirks/not ideal.
These drives either needed extra power, were a bit quirky when we tested them or we've had reports of them being problematic. It may just be the drive we had, but they're probably best avoided.
- Kioxia BG4 2230. Performance very patchy. Runs at quite a high temp.
- Patriot P300 - These drives have various controllers, some of which seem to be incompatible at this time.
- Patriot P310 - These drives have various controllers, some of which seem to be incompatible at this time.
- Samsung 970 EVO Plus. Runs at a higher temp. Some user reports of problems under heavy load or not showing up on boot.
- Samsung 980 Pro (250GB). Reports of this size not working.
- WD Blue SN550. Our fresh unit could be used as storage but could not be booted from.
- WD Red SN700. Slow to boot first time, but worked and booted OK.
- WD SN740. Our fresh unit worked well. YMMV.
- WD Black SN770. Our fresh unit worked fine. YMMV.
- Patriot P300. All units we've tested work but we have heard of a 256GB/1TB variant that doesn't.
'Avoid' List. We've had problems or reports of problems.
- Transcend 110Q (TS500GMTE110Q)
- WD Green/Blue/Red/Black not in the above list. Variable results or not working because of quirks of a SanDisk controller/firmware. Our SN350 and SN570 prevented the RPi 5 from booting at all especially.
Otherwise most M.2 NVMe drive (Not SATA!) you have lying around should work fine.

Firmware
For the most hassle-free experience, make sure your Raspberry Pi OS is up to date, and your RPi 5 firmware is updated to 2023-12-06 (Dec 6th) or newer. This supports all the features of the RPi PCIe spec and means you don't have to mess with config files to get started.
Software update on the RPi OS should do this for you, but to force it you can:
- open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)
- run
sudo raspi-configand choose 'Latest' under Advanced Options > Bootloader Version.
Running sudo rpi-eeprom-update in the Terminal will tell you which version of firmware is running.
PCIe 3 Mode
To enable experimental and not-officially-supported PCIe 3 mode, add the follow line to the [all] section at the end of your Raspberry Pi /boot/firmware/config.txt file like this:
[all]
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3Save and reboot - your drive is ready to use!
Formatting the NVMe and booting from NVMe
If you want to boot from the NVMe drive, follow these extra steps:
- Make sure your firmware is updated as above!
- Format the drive using Raspberry Pi Imager
- You can do this with your NVMe Base installed by booting the RPi 5 from SD card and running Raspberry Pi Imager from the start menu.
- Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T).
- Run
sudo raspi-config - Choose NVMe/USB boot under Advanced Options > Boot Order.
- Reboot your RPi 5.
Notes
- Always power off your RPi and disconnect the power supply before installing or uninstalling the NVMe Base.
- NVMe Base offers a general purpose PCIe x1 connection - while we know most people want to add fast storage in theory you can use other devices with it, we just can't help you make them work! :-D What Would Jeff (Geerling) Do?
- The plier can be used for copper and aluminium cables from 8-16AWG(8, 10, 12, 14, 16).
- 180mm (14mm2) Cutting Pliers & WIRE STRIPPER
- Safe Lock Design: Special lock design, make sure the blade is locked and more secure. Easy to read wire gauge marking for stripping in either direction.
- Comfortable Non-Slip Handle: The comfortable PP handle protect your hand when cutting, non-slip and wear resistant, the ergonomic handle design reduce fatigue.
- Solid Carbon Steel: The plier is made of carbon steel, overall heat treated, solid and durable, hard edge and strong shear.
- Widely Used: It is the best choice for maintenance professionals, electricians and artisans, jewellers, students.
