Overview

Introduction

CM4-NANO-B (Raspberry Pi CM4 Ultra Mini Expansion Board Type B) is a baseboard that can be used with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. Although it is tiny, it can bring out the interface of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.

Precautions

1. DO NOT hot-plug any devices except the USB and HDMI.
2. As the module does not have any protection, please do not short-circuit the power supply.
3. The USB Type-C interface can be used as a power supply or as a USB SLAVE interface to program the image.
4. In order to ensure the normal power supply of the CM4, please do not connect other devices when using the USB Type-C interface to program the image.
5. Providing 5V 2A for CM4 to ensure that it is in normal use. Otherwise, there may be problems such as automatic shutdown, frequency reduction, and so on.
6. The USB2.0, CSI and DSI and Audio interface are disabled by default and need to be enabled by the user.
7. The user key is connected to GPIO21 and pulled up to GPIO_VREF by R16 (10K). When the key is not pressed, GPIO21 is pulled high by default; when the key is pressed, the level of GPIO21 will be pulled down.

Usage Introduction

Writing Image

• According to the version of CM4 you are using, the image programming can be divided into two versions: EMMC and LITE. Please choose the version below according to your CM4 to watch.
• Write Image for Compute Module Boards eMMC version.
• Write Image for Compute Module Boards Lite version.

USB2.0

USB enable configuration

• The USB port is disabled by default on the CM4 to save power.
• It is recommended to directly open the config.txt file in the boot drive letter after the programming is completed, and add the following content:

dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host

• After saving the file, start the machine according to the normal process

USB-OTG Mode

• If you use the latest Raspberry Pi OS (image after October 30, 2021) and USB2.0 is in OTG mode by default, CM4 will report an error.

config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)

• However, USB can still be used. If you want to remove this error, remove otg_mode=1 in [cm4] of config.txt, and add dtoverlay=dwc2, dr_mode=host (USB cannot be recognized without adding it).

CSI and DSI

Configuration

• Due to CSI and DSI being disabled by default, we need to load the device tree to enable, I2C-10, I2C-11, and I2C-0 will be occupied when using the CSI camera and DSI screen.
  
• Enter the following command:
  

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full -y
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/4/41/CM4_dt_blob.7z
7z x CM4_dt_blob.7z -O./CM4_dt_blob
sudo chmod 777 -R CM4_dt_blob
cd CM4_dt_blob/
# 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 the corresponding file is compiled, 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.

New Version System (Bullseye)

Camera Config

1. Execute the following commands to edit the "/boot/config.txt" file.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

2. Block or delete the camera auto-detect sentence.


3. Add the driver of the camera you used. Here I take IMX219 as an example, connect to CAM0, and attach the adapter.



Model	CAM0 Setting Sentence	CAM1 Setting Sentence
OV9281	dtoverlay=ov9281,cam0	dtoverlay=ov9281,cam1
IMX290/IMX327	dtoverlay=imx290,clock-frequency=37125000,cam0	dtoverlay=imx290,clock-frequency=37125000,cam1
IMX378	dtoverlay=imx378,cam0	dtoverlay=imx378,cam1
IMX219	dtoverlay=imx219,cam0	dtoverlay=imx219,cam1
IMX477	dtoverlay=imx477,cam0	dtoverlay=imx477,cam1

• If the camera you are using is the official Raspberry Pi camera and there only is one camera connected, you do not need to set up the config file.
• CM4-NANO only uses CAM0, so you only need to add "dtoverlay=imx219,cam0".
4. Ctrl+o to save the file and press Enter.


5. Ctrl+x to exit the editer.
6. Reboot CM4.

sudo reboot

Test Camera

1. Input the camera detecting commands, and you can see the camera is detected.

libcamera-hello --list-cameras




2. Display the camera pictures on the desktop:

libcamera-hello -t

3. Take a photo:

libcamera-vid -t 10000 -o test.h264

4. Record a 10s video:

libcamera-vid -t 10000 -o test.h264

Old Version (Buster)

Configure Camera

1. Execute the following command to enter the Raspberry Pi configuration.

sudo raspi-config

2. Choose Interfacing Options and enter.


3. Choose Camera:


4. Choose to open the camera interface.


5. The system prompts as follows:


6. Back to the main interface, select Finish.


7. Reboot the system.



Camera Test

• Take a photo:

raspistill -o image.jpg

• Test the recording function:

raspivid -o video.h264 -t 10000

• • Where -t 10000 means recording for 10 seconds, users can adjust according to their own needs.
  • Please refer to CSI.
    

Audio Jack

• The Audio of this device uses GPIO. If you use GPIO18 and GPIO19, you need to enable it via the configuration file.
  

1. Edit config.txt.


sudo nano /boot/config.txt

2. Add the following content at the bottom.


dtparam=audio=on
dtoverlay=audremap,pins_18_19

3. Reboot the CM4.

sudo reboot

4. Enter the graphical interface, right-click the volume icon, and select AV Jack.


• PS: When switching to the Audio interface, the audio output of HDMI will stop.
