Rig Log #189
Combination
Symptom
Hard to mount / can't secure
Notes
A Raspberry Pi 5 powered by the Waveshare PoE HAT (F) booted from a Kioxia XG6 on the Pimoroni NVMe Base without problems; the voltage stayed around 5.04-5.10V under load. The HAT does not fit inside the official Pi case. High-power USB devices need usb_max_current_enable=1 in config.txt. (from GitHub issue #597)
