	X1501 V1.0		ACTIVE	hardware		software

Product Overview

The X1501 is a purpose-built IO board tailored for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) that integrates dual Ethernet connectivity (1GbE and 2.5GbE), two full-size M.2 NVMe slots, and a range of peripherals into an ultra-compact design. This carrier board is engineered to simplify system development, enabling you to quickly build 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 X1501 is designed to meet your needs with flexibility and performance.

Product Features

ü	Compact Design (87x88x25mm): Combines a small footprint with a rich array of I/O peripherals for versatile applications.
ü	Dual Ethernet Ports: Features both 1GbE with PoE+ support (for simplified power delivery) and a 2.5GbE port capable of speeds up to 2500Mbps (2.5Gbps) for high-performance networking.
ü	Dual M.2 2280 NVMe SSD Slots: Supports up to 8TB (4TB+4TB) via PCIe 2.0 (5Gbps) for fast data transfers and boot times, compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs in 2280, 2242, and 2230 form factors.
ü	Dual HDMI 2.0 Ports: Enables dual 4K display output for multimedia or industrial use cases.
ü	Dual MIPI DSI/CSI-2 Connectors: 22-pin FPC connectors (0.5mm pitch) compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 CSI and DSI modules for seamless camera and display integration.
ü	MicroSD Card Slot: Supports Compute Module 5 Lite variants (without onboard eMMC).
ü	Raspberry Pi HAT+ Compatibility: Reuse existing Raspberry Pi HATs to save time and reduce development costs.
ü	Convenient Power Button: Easily wake or shut down the Compute Module 5 with a single press.
ü	RTC Battery Socket (CR1220): Ensures accurate timekeeping during power interruptions.
ü	PWM Fan Support: Includes a fan power connector for adjustable cooling in demanding environments.
ü	USB-C Port: Handles both power delivery and OS image loading directly into the CM5’s eMMC.
ü	Configurable Jumpers: Allows disabling features like wireless connectivity or EEPROM writing for customization.
ü	Streamlined Connector Layout: USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and power ports are grouped along one edge for clean cable management and easy enclosure integration.
