| ||
Overview
CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI, a baseboard that can be used with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, supports 5V DC Type-C interface power supply and features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, single-channel USB2.0 with a fan interface and standard Raspberry Pi 40Pin interface, which is suitable for scenarios requiring multiple network ports such as soft routing.
Caution
1. Do not plug or unplug any device other than a USB while it is powered on.
2. Confirm the fan voltage before connecting, only 5V fans are supported.
3. The Type C interface can be used as a power supply or as a USB interface to program the image (need to use the DIP switch to switch).
4. To ensure the normal power supply for CM4, please do not connect other devices when using the Type C interface to program the image.
5. When CM4 is in normal use, it needs to provide 5V/2A power supply for CM4. Otherwise, there may be problems such as automatic shutdown, frequency reduction, and so on.
6. USB2.0 is closed by default, if you want to open it, you need to add "dtoverlay=dwc2, dr_mode=host" in config.txt.
7. For Opwenwrt, see the instructions for use.
8. This expansion board does not support the POE function.

Image Programming
- Write Image for Compute Module Boards eMMC version
- Write Image for Compute Module Boards Lite version
FAN
- This simple demo can control the fan automatically, which also will read the CPU temperature and automatically adjust.
- Install the library:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-pip sudo pip install RPi.GPIO
or
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python3-pip sudo pip3 install RPi.GPIO
- Example program download:
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/e/ee/CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example.zip unzip CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example.zip -d ./CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example cd CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example/FAN/
- Run
python main.py
or
python3 main.py
- (Optional) Auto startup:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Add (../ please change to the path of your own file) before the last line 'exit 0':
python ../main.py
or
python3 ../main.py
Network Card
- The new version of the Raspberry Pi system kernel integrates the driver of RTL8111H, if you can't find the network card, you can try to upgrade the software package:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
- If using another version of the system, please install the driver:
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/e/ee/CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example.zip unzip CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example.zip -d ./CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example cd CM4-DUAL-ETH-MINI-Example/Driver/ tar vjxf r8168-8.050.03.tar.bz2 cd r8168-8.050.03 sudo ./autorun.sh
- (Optional) If you compile the kernel yourself, you can choose the following options to load the driver:

> Ethernet driver support
> Realtek devices
> Realtek 8169/8168/8101/8125 ethernet support
OpenWrt
Introduction
Openwrt has the ability for full customization and extensibility. Openwrt is becoming more and more popular at present. Compared with commonly used wireless routers, OpenWrt's modifiable firmware allows us to customize router functions according to our own needs, such as single-arm routing, automatic Define routing policies, QoS, etc., intranet penetration, etc.
Note: Openwrt system will not provide any technical support if there is any problem during use, only the following tutorials and images are provided, and no other technical support other than hardware is provided.
- PS: Please check to add network card driver when compiling: kmod-r8169.
