Hello Akhil,
thank you for your inquiry.
1.You have maybe seen that netPI device is covered by a metallic housing. It is not as open as a standard Raspberry Pi3 where you can easily plug on HAT modulee. With netPI you always would be urged to open the housing. But this is not really professional. Because of this reason we decided not to make the 40 HAT header available on netPI. Instead we put the HAT pins to an internal connector that is reachable through a socket at the bottom of the device. In this socket you can shift in modules we call NPIX = netPI extension modules. So customer can shift in those modules instead of opening the housing. Meanwhile we have some NPIX modules available. Customer can also design their own NPIX modules.
2. netPI is a secured device. Loading software onto netPI is only possible using the preloaded Docker software as containers. We have already a container made which contains the Raspbian OS: https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetpi/netpi-raspbian/. Once you have loaded this container into netPI you can access it as you are used to on a standard Rapberry Pi 3. netPI has a 8GB SD card which is sealed. You cannot remove it. So it is not possible with netPI to replace the secure SD card with a standard Raspberry Pi 3 SD card.
