USB2.0

The USB interfaces are default disabled in CM4, you need to enable it by adding the following lines:the config.txt

dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host

USB TO UART

The USB to UART port is connected to GPIO14(BCM) and GPIO15(BCM) pins of CM4 with a converter.
You can connect the USB to UART port for login CM4 via serial.
The USB to UART port can also be used for power, in this case, you need to solder a 0ohm resistor to the pad for enabling the powering function.

Buzzer/LED

Buzzer

The buzzer is connected to GPIO22(BCM), low active.

LED

Two LEDs are integrated for users, the green one is connected to GPIO20(BCM)and the red one is connected to GPIO21(BCM), low active.

4G/5G

To work with 4G/5G, you need to connect a wireless module to the M.2 B KEY for featuring corresponding functions. M.2 B KEY only extends USB2.0 interfaces, it doesn't support PCIe devices.

SIM card is required to work with the 4G/5G module
This carrier board supports the 4G module by default, if you use it with 5G modules, some of the 5G functions are not supported.
If you use a 5G module, please check the [SIM8200EA-M2_5G HAT wiki] about how to set up 5G.

If you need to toggle the working status of the 4G module, you can control the GPIO6(BCM), set the GPIO6 to High for disabling the 4G module and set it to Low for enabling.
To toggle the working status of the 4G module, please add delay time for waiting for the operation to work.

SIM7600 M.2 module

Status of M.2 indicators:

M.2_NET M.2_STA
Red LED Green LED Status
Solid OFF Power OFF
Solid OFF Starting
Solid Solid SIM card is an invalid or weak signal
Solid Blink Working
OFF Blink/Solid Shutdowning

Before you configure the SIM7600 module, please make sure that the module is started normally.

sudo apt-get install minicom
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

Type the following command on the minicom

AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9011,1,1

Close the minicom and configure usb0

sudo dhclient -v usb0

About RNIDS networking, please refer to [Raspberry Pi networked via RNDIS RNIDS Networking method]
With the operations above, a USB0 port will be recognized.
If the network cannot work, please try to switch frequency with the following AT commands:

 AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400183,0x000001E000000000,0x0000000000000021
 AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400180,0x480000000000000000000000000000000000000000000042000001E200000095,0x0000000000000021

AT Commands

If the network cannot work, plaese check module with AT commands

sudo apt-get install minicom
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

PCIE

The PCIe interface is PCIe 2.0 X1, the maximum speed is 500Mb/s
Most of the PCIEx1 device is not supported by Raspberry Pi without a driver.
Please check your PCIe device before you used Supported device testing
