Our take on the AKD1000 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit

A Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM paired with a BrainChip Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic chip on an M.2 B+M key card, pre-installed and ready to run. It ships with a pre-configured 32GB SD card holding Akida demos and MetaTF, plus a USB-C power supply, so you can boot into edge AI work without sourcing parts. It suits developers prototyping event-based neural networks, visual classification and anomaly detection at the edge. Against a bare Pi 5 or a USB AI accelerator, it gives you a PCIe-attached neuromorphic processor and a working software stack out of the box, but it is a niche dev board rather than a general-purpose speed upgrade.

Pros
  • Akida AKD1000 card comes pre-installed on the M.2 slot
  • 16GB RAM Pi 5 handles larger models and datasets
  • Pre-configured SD card with demos and MetaTF cuts setup time
  • USB-C power supply included
  • Dual 4Kp60 HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi for a full dev station
Cons
  • Neuromorphic chip only helps workloads built for it
  • No onboard storage beyond the microSD card
  • Setup leans on browser access to a local IP address
  • Niche toolchain means a learning curve for newcomers

About the AKD1000 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit

The AKD1000 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit pairs a Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer with an AKD1000 Akida neuromorphic processor on an M.2 B+M Key card. The card comes pre-installed. The kit is designed for edge AI prototyping, visual object classification, anomaly detection and Edge Impulse model deployment.

The Raspberry Pi 5 has a 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU and 16GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM. It runs Linux with MetaTF pre-installed. The included 32GB SD card is pre-configured with Akida demos and MetaTF.

To start wirelessly, connect the USB-C power supply and join the 'akida-devkit' Wi-Fi network on a phone or laptop. Then go to http://10.42.0.1 in a browser with popups enabled. To start wired, connect the power supply and plug the device into a network switch or router with an ethernet cable. Then go to http://<device_ip_address> in a browser. Your DHCP server assigns the IP address.

Questions and answers

What is the Akida AKD1000 card for?
It is a neuromorphic processor on an M.2 B+M key card. It runs event-based neural networks for tasks like visual classification and anomaly detection, and it is already installed in the Pi's M.2 slot.
Do I need to install MetaTF myself?
No. The included 32GB SD card comes pre-configured with MetaTF and Akida demos, and Linux boots with the toolchain in place.
How do I connect to the kit first time?
Power it over USB-C, then either join the 'akida-devkit' Wi-Fi network and open http://10.42.0.1 in a browser, or plug in Ethernet and browse to the DHCP-assigned IP address.
Can I use it as a normal Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes. It is a standard 16GB Pi 5 with dual 4Kp60 HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB 3.0, so general Linux work runs alongside the Akida card.
Does it work with Edge Impulse?
Yes. Edge Impulse model deployment is one of the listed uses, and the pre-installed MetaTF stack supports Akida-targeted models.
What comes in the box?
A Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer, the AKD1000 M.2 card, a pre-configured 32GB SD card and a USB-C power supply.
Where is the AKD1000 Raspberry Pi 5 Dev Kit cheapest?
At BrainChip, for $1,495.00, as of our latest check.
