Introduction

This product is an IO board of the 4th generation of Raspberry Pi Compute Module. Compute Module 4 POE Board is a baseboard that can be used with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, supports POE power supply and 7~36V DC power supply with four onboard USB2 .0, which is for the user's convenience.

Users Guides

1: Confirm the fan voltage before connecting, it supports 5V and 12V. if you want to connect 12V by default, please modify the jumper cap of FAN_VCC.
2: The USB Type C interface is used as the USB SLAVE interface to burn the image, and it can also be used as the power supply interface, but cannot be used as the OTG interface.
3: The BOOT switch is for CM4 startup mode, the ON for CM4 to enter the programming mode, and the OFF for the system to start normally.
4: In normal use, it is necessary to provide at least a 5V/1.5A power supply for CM4. Otherwise, there may be problems such as automatic shutdown, frequency reduction, and so on.
5: USB2.0 is closed by default, if you want to open it, you need to add dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host in config.txt.
6: When using the POE function, pay attention to check whether the switch supports PoE of the 802.3af network standard.
7: When you need to use POE, connect the POE jumper cap to the EN position.
8: The Change LED light is the charging indicator, it is always on when charging, goes off when fully charged, and flashes when it fails.

Note

Note 1: When assembling, you need to turn the power switch to OFF first, disconnect the power supply and then assemble, otherwise the operation will easily cause a short circuit to burn the device.
Note 2: When connecting the battery for the first time, you need to pay attention to whether the WARNING LED is on. If the LED is on, it means that the corresponding battery is connected in reverse. Do not charge if the battery is reversed.
Note 3: When the battery is connected for the first time, there may be no power output. You need to press the BOOT activation button or charge the battery to activate the battery protection chip to have power output. The power switch needs to be turned to ON.
Note 4: It is forbidden to plug and unplug any device except USB and HDMI while the power is on.
Note 5: It is recommended not to exceed 4A when working with a high current for a long time. When working for a long time at 4A, it will heat up. Pay attention to heat dissipation.
Note 6: The external power supply must be greater than the power consumption of the entire system, otherwise there will not be enough current to charge the battery for a long time, and the battery power will become lower and lower until it is turned off.
Note 7: When the system load is heavy and the battery voltage is low, there may be a situation where the battery current is insufficient and the system keeps restarting.
Note 8: If the positive insulating pad of the battery is broken, it is recommended not to continue to use it, which may cause a short circuit and fire. When removing the battery, do not use a screwdriver to pry the positive electrode of the battery, which may cause a short circuit. It is recommended to pry the negative electrode of the battery.

Precautions for the use of lithium batteries

  • Li-polymer and Li-ion batteries are very unstable. Improper charging or use may result in fire, personal injury, and property damage.
  • Do not connect the wrong polarity when charging and discharging the battery pack. Do not use other inferior chargers or charging boards to charge the lithium battery.
  • Do not mix and use old and new batteries, and avoid using batteries of other brands.
  • If you need to purchase lithium battery products separately, you must ensure that the battery parameters are compatible with the lithium battery expansion board. It is recommended to choose a regular battery manufacturer, and you need to self-aging test to ensure that the lithium battery can work stably and safely.
  • Lithium batteries have a cycle life, please replace the old battery with a new one when it reaches its useful life or when it has been used for two years (whichever comes first).
  • Please place battery products properly, keep away from flammable and explosive items, keep away from children, and avoid safety accidents caused by careless storage.

RTC FAN

  • Note: Please connect the fan before turning on the power of the expansion board and then complete the test. Please do not connect the fan after the expansion board has been powered on, that is, the fan control chip has been powered on, otherwise the chip will be burned!
  • Note: Before connecting, please confirm the fan voltage and the power supply of the actually connected fan.

Note DSI and CSI are prohibited using RTC.
I2C-10 is used by default.

RTC (PCF85063a) on i2c-10, address is 0x51 (7-bit address)
FAN (EMC2301) on i2c-10, address is 0x2f (7-bit address)
If you need to add to your program instead of the kernel, you can refer to the C and Python demo Link

RTC

sudo nano /boot/config.text
#add it at the end
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc, pcf85063a, i2c_csi_dsi
#add # before dtparam=audio=on
#dtparam=audio=on
#save and exit, reboot
sudo reboot
Hwclock Simple Use

Synchronize system clock -> hardware clock

sudo hwclock -w

Synchronize system clock -> system clock

sudo hwclock -s
#Require closing the network or invalid

Set up hardware clock time

sudo hwclock -set -date="9/8/2021 16:45:05"

Check the hardware clock

sudo hwclock -r

Display version information

sudo hwclock -verbose

Fan

When powered on, the fan will spin for 1 second, then stop for 2 seconds, and then spin again, this is a normal phenomenon There is currently no official configuration method for fans, there is a third-party configuration method: https://github.com/neg2led/cm4io-fan This method is published by a third party, and we are not responsible for any problems! Fan1.png

#The following commands is the introduction for config.text

Fan2.png

or refer to:
dtoverlay=cm4io-fan,minrpm=500,maxrpm=5000,midtemp=45000,midtemp_hyst=2000,maxtemp=50000,maxtemp_hyst=2000
When the temperature is higher than 45 degrees Celsius and starts to accelerate, and the maximum speed is higher when it is more than 50 degrees Celsius

CSI DSI

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.net/w/upload/7/75/CM4_dt_blob_Source.zip
unzip -0 CM4_dt_blob_Source.zip -d ./CM4_dt_blob_Source
sudo chmod 777 -R CM4_dt_blob_Source
cd CM4_dt_blob_Source/
#If you exexute by using two cameras and SI0
sudo dtc -I dts -0 dtb -0 /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp0-double_cam.dts
#If you exexute by using two cameras and SI0
sudo dtc -I dts -0 dtb -0 /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp0-double_cam.dts
#When using DSI randomly, HDMI1 doesn't output the image even if just compiling the corresponding file without connecting the DSI screen
#if you want to restore, just delete corresponding dt-blob.bin. : sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob. bin
#Finished. Please power off and reboot CM4.

Recording test

Then connect the camera and DSI screen:
1: Make sure the connection is power-off.
2: Connect Power.
3: Wait a few seconds for the screen to start up.
4: If it fails to start, check whether /boot/dt-blob.bin exists, and restart it if it exists.
5: 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.

More commands

  • Note: Using the DSI interface will make HDMI disabled, even if just compiling the corresponding file without connecting the DSI screen.
  • Any connection of two HDMIs can output images, and it is not limited to that HDMI. If two HDMI screens are connected, only HDMI0 has an 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
  • Then reboot

Refer to Raspberry Pi Manual

INA219 Battery Level Detection

Enter the following command to run the program

sudo apt-get install p7zip
wget https://www.waveshare.net/w/upload/5/59/CM4_UPS_Code.7z
7zr x CM4_UPS_Code.7z -r -o./
cd CM4_UPS_Code
python3 INA219.py

After the program runs, it will output the battery voltage, current, power, and the percentage of remaining battery power.
Battery.png

Note
if the current is positive, it means the output current of the battery (which can be considered as the Raspberry Pi load current), and if the current is negative, it means the battery charging current.

When the system load is heavy and the battery voltage is low, there may be a situation where the battery current is insufficient and the system restarts continuously. This is not expected to see. In practical applications, automatic shutdown can be avoided by judging that the battery voltage is too low.
The battery voltage judgment has been added to the sample program. When the battery voltage is too low and there is no external power supply for charging, the program will shut down the system within 60s.
The program displays the following statement indicating that the battery voltage is too low and needs to be charged in time, otherwise the program will automatically shut down.

Voltage Low, please charge in time,otherwise, it will shut down in 58 s
