Choose the Correct reComputer R Series Guide
The reComputer R Series includes commercial Raspberry Pi 5 systems and industrial CM5 systems. Identify the product before flashing an image, changing PCIe settings, or installing an accelerator driver.
1. Read the product label
Record the complete product name and suffix. The suffix distinguishes memory,
storage, connectivity, and whether an AI accelerator is included. Do not rely
only on the R Series, R2000, or CM5 family name.
2. Select the matching official Wiki
| Device family | Use this official guide | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| reComputer AI R2000 | R2000 Getting Started | Raspberry Pi 5 platform with dual M.2 expansion and Hailo-8 variants |
| reComputer AI Industrial R2135 | R2135 Getting Started | CM5 industrial AI system with pre-installed Hailo-8 |
| reComputer Industrial R20xx | R20xx Getting Started | CM5 industrial system; check the exact accelerator option |
| reComputer Industrial R21xx | R21xx Getting Started | CM5 system with additional industrial interfaces; Hailo availability depends on SKU |
3. Record the deployment facts
Before installing software, record:
text
Product and SKU:
Raspberry Pi 5 or CM5:
RAM and eMMC capacity:
Boot device (microSD/eMMC/NVMe):
Accelerator model (none/Hailo-8/Hailo-10H):
Power method (USB-C/DC terminal/PoE):
Operating-system image and release:These facts determine the correct flashing procedure, device tree, driver, HailoRT release, HEF, and container image. Hailo-8 and Hailo-10H software artifacts are not interchangeable.
4. Continue with the correct path
- For a standard Raspberry Pi 5 product, use the R2000 guide for hardware and boot preparation.
- For a CM5 product, follow the exact industrial product guide and the CM5 flashing procedure before applying generic Raspberry Pi instructions.
- If the product did not ship with an accelerator, confirm electrical and mechanical compatibility before purchasing or installing one.
