DFRobot LattePanda IOTA M.2 M-Key Expansion Board
DFRobot LattePanda IOTA M.2 M-Key Expansion Board is a dedicated interface adapter designed to unlock the full potential of the LattePanda IOTA single-board computer (SBC). This DFRobot expansion board functions by converting the LattePanda IOTA's native 16-pin FPC PCIe interface into a universally recognized M.2 M-Key slot. This direct conversion enables the integration of high-speed M.2 NVMe solid-state drives for expanded storage or the addition of M.2 AI accelerator modules for powerful edge computing.
Key specifications include a PCIe 3.0 ×1 communication rate (8GT/s), support for both 2230 and 2280 M.2 form factors, and a plug-and-play design for effortless installation. These features make this adapter an essential component for developing compact servers, advanced embedded systems, and edge artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
