Introduction
Detailed parameter and function description.
Product Description
My name is CM4-ETH-RS485-BASE-B, which is an expansion board that can be used with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, and supports a 7-36V DC power supply and 5V DC power supply of Type-C interface. Onboard four isolated RS485 interfaces, 100M+1000M dual network ports, HDMI interface, two CSI interfaces, two USB interfaces, etc...
Precautions for use
- Do not plug and unplug any device except USB and HDMI when it is powered on.
- Confirm the fan voltage before connecting, only support 5V.
- The Type C interface can be used as a power supply or as a USB interface to burn the image (need to use the DIP switch to switch).
- In order to ensure the normal power supply of CM4, please do not connect other devices when using the Type C interface to burn the image.
- When CM4 is in normal use, it needs to provide a 5V 2A power supply for CM4. Otherwise, there may be problems such as automatic shutdown, frequency reduction, and so on.
- USB2.0 is closed by default, if you need to open it, you need to add dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host in config.txt.

How to use
Precautions
Do not plug or unplug any device while it is powered on.

USB 2.0
USB2.0 is disabled by default, if you want to enable it, you need to add dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host in config.txt
RS485
It is closed by default. If you want to open it, you need to add content in config.txt:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
dtoverlay=uart0 dtoverlay=uart3 dtoverlay=uart4 dtoverlay=uart5
COM0 occupies GPIO14/GPIO15 (BCM code 14/15), device number ttyAMA0.
COM1 occupies GPIO4/GPIO5 (BCM code 4/5), device number ttyAMA1.
COM2 occupies GPIO8/GPIO9 (BCM code 8/9), device number ttyAMA2.
COM3 occupies GPIO12/GPIO13 (BCM code 12/13), device number ttyAMA3.
If other serial ports are opened, the comments need to be closed, for example:
#enable_uart=1
Note: the default mode is semi-automatic, which requires program control of transceiver mode; The 0R resistor on the back can be modified if automatic sending and receiving is required.
- Mode switching: each channel is controlled by two 0R resistors.
- Semi-automatic mode: the 0R resistor is on the "Semi-auto" end, and the user program controls the transceiver mode.
- Full-automatic mode: The 0R resistor is on the "Full-auto" end, and the transceiver mode is automatically switched according to the transmission direction.
RTC
Enable I2C to connect to the RTC controller, you need to set the dtparam=i2c_vc=on configuration file. RTC is on i2c-10, address is 0 x 51 (7-bit address).
sudo nano /boot/config.txt #Add at the end dtparam=i2c_vc=on #Add # in front of dtparam=audio=on #dtparam=audio=on #Save and exit, restart sudo reboot

CSI
Note: The following is the general description of CM4, the specific equipment is different: this module has no DSI interface, and only HDMI0.
configuration file
CSI and DSI are disabled by default. When using camera and DSI, three I2C devices, I2C-10, I2C-11, and I2C-0, will be occupied.
Start up as follows:
wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/7/75/CM4_dt_blob_Source.zip unzip -o CM4_dt_blob_Source.zip -d ./CM4_dt_blob_Source sudo chmod 777 -R CM4_dt_blob_Source cd CM4_dt_blob_Source/ #If using two cameras and DSI0 execute sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp0-double_cam.dts #If using two cameras and DSI1 execute sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp1-double_cam.dts #When using any DSI, HDMI1 has no image output, even if you do not connect the DSI screen, as long as you compile the corresponding file, then HDMI1 will not output #If you need to restore, delete the corresponding dt-blob.bin: sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob.bin # After execution, turn off the power and restart the CM4
Recording test
Then connect the camera and DSI screen:
- Make sure the connection is in the power-off state
- Connect Power
- Wait a few seconds for the screen to start up
- If it fails to start, check whether /boot/dt-blob.bin exists, and restart it if it exists.
- The camera needs to run raspi-config, select Interfacing Options->Camera->Yes->Finish-Yes, reboot the system, open the enable camera, and then restart to save the changes.
Old Version (Buster)
Test the Raspberry Pi camera View the first camera connected to the screen:
sudo raspivid -t 0 -cs 0
View the picture of the second camera connected:
sudo raspivid -t 0 -cs 1
New Version (Buster)
If using the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye):
libcamera-hello -t 0 or libcamera-hello #Using dual cameras in the new system #Remove camera_auto_detect=1 in config.text #camera_auto_detect=1 #add dtoverlay=imx219,cam1 dtoverlay=imx219,cam0 #imx219 is the model of the camera sensor and other sensor dtoverlay=ov5647,cam0 dtoverlay=imx219,cam0 dtoverlay=ov9281,cam0 dtoverlay=imx477,cam0 #then reboot reboot # other commands #check whether the camera is detected libcamera-hello --list-cameras #open the corresponding camera libcamera-hello --camera 1 libcamera-hello --camera 0 #take photo libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg #Also you can add --camera to choose the camera

- NOTE: If using the DSI interface the display will have an HDMI disabled, even if just compiling the corresponding file without connecting the DSI screen.
- Any connection of two HDMIs can output images, not limited to that HDMI. If two HDMI screens are connected, only HDMI0 has image output.
- If you want to enable both HDMI, delete the dt-blob.bin file with the following command:
sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob.bin
- And then restart
