This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Raspberry Pi project has released the first revision to its Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) spec, along with an update to the RPi 5’s PCIE handling tools.

Revealed in a Friday post penned by chief operating officer and hardware lead James Adams, the HAT+ spec [PDF] has four main changes:

“The original HAT specification was written back in 2014, so it is now very overdue for an update,” Adams wrote.

Adams’s post also addresses the omission of an M.2 connector from the RPi 5 – a decision he wrote was made on grounds that the hardware "is large, relatively expensive, and would require us to provide a 3.3V, 3A power supply.

And that pin delivers power to a forthcoming M.2 HAT+ that Adams wrote “is in the final stage of prototyping, and will be launched early next year.”

“Watch this space for the new M.2 HAT+, and a final version of the HAT+ standard, which we’ll release alongside it in the new year,” his post concludes.

The original article contains 413 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

I’m sure the business customers will be happy for the options.

Unfortunately for the retail consumers that actually built their business, it won’t matter at all.

The foundation is a nonprofit Nvidia now. Happy to sell almost entirely in B2B bulk transactions, and let scalpers hoard all consumer/retail stock to gouge consumers with 200%+ markup.

Fuck the Pi Foundation.
