Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q1: Can I use my old Raspberry Pi 4 Power Supply?
  A: Yes, but with limitations. The Pi 5 will restrict USB current to 600mA. For full performance, use the 27W USB-C PD Supply.
• Q2: Does this board come with a fan?
  A: No, the board does not include a fan. We highly recommend buying the Official Active Cooler.
• Q3: Is the GPIO pinout the same as Raspberry Pi 4?
  A: Yes, the 40-pin GPIO header is identical, ensuring backward compatibility with most sensors and HATs.
• Q4: Can I boot from an NVMe SSD?
  A: Yes, you can boot directly from NVMe, but you will need an M.2 HAT to connect the SSD to the PCIe port.
• Q5: Which Operating System should I use?
  A: You must use the latest Raspberry Pi OS (codenamed "Bookworm"). Older versions (Bullseye/Buster) will not boot.
• Q6: Does it have a 3.5mm Audio Jack?
  A: No, the dedicated audio jack has been removed. Audio is available via HDMI, Bluetooth, or USB DACs.
• Q7: Can I use dual 4K monitors simultaneously?
  A: Yes, the dual micro-HDMI ports support two 4K displays at 60Hz simultaneously.
• Q8: Does the 2GB RAM model support AI applications?
  A: Yes, for light inference models. However, for large LLMs or heavy compiling, the 4GB or 8GB model is preferred.
• Q9: Is the PCIe connector compatible with standard PC parts?
  A: No, it uses a custom FPC connector. You need a specific "M.2 HAT" adapter to connect standard PC PCIe devices like SSDs.
• Q10: Does it support Hardware Video Encoding?
  A: No, H.264 hardware encoding has been removed. It relies on the powerful CPU for software encoding.
• Q11: Can I use my old Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2?
  A: Yes, but you need a new standard-to-mini FPC camera cable, as the Pi 5 uses smaller MIPI connectors.
• Q12: Is there a power button on the board?
  A: Yes! The Pi 5 features a dedicated onboard power button for soft shutdown and power-up.
• Q13: What is the maximum power consumption?
  A: Under max stress test with peripherals, it can draw up to 12-15 Watts.
• Q14: Does it have a Real-Time Clock (RTC)?
  A: Yes, it has a built-in RTC. You can add a battery to keep time when power is disconnected.
• Q15: Are the mounting holes the same as Pi 4?
  A: Yes, the mounting hole spacing is identical to the Pi 4, fitting most cases (if port cutouts align).
• Q16: Can I use a fanless case?
  A: Only for very light usage. The BCM2712 runs hot; passive cooling is often insufficient for desktop use.
• Q17: Does it support Windows 10/11 IoT?
  A: Windows on ARM is a community project and support is experimental/developing for Pi 5.
• Q18: What is the UART debug connector for?
  A: It allows developers to access the serial console directly without using GPIO pins, useful for kernel debugging.
• Q19: Is the 2GB RAM shared with the GPU?
  A: Yes, the system memory is shared. You can configure the split in the config.txt file.
• Q20: Does Probots offer warranty on this board?
  A: Yes, as a Probots™ Source-Trace item, it carries a manufacturing defect warranty per official Raspberry Pi terms.
