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 the 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.

Compute Module 4 PoE 4G Board 3.png
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.
If you use the 5G module, the GPIOs cannot work for it.

CAN

The CAN is diabled by default, you need to modify the config.txt file for enabling it.

 #Open and edit config.txt
 sudo nano /boot/config.txt
 #Add the following line to the file and save
 dtparam=spi=on
 dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25
 #reboot Raspberry Pi
 reboot 

After rebooting, run the following command:

 dmesg | grep spi0

Compute Module 4 PoE 4G Board 1.png Run the following command:

sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000
sudo ifconfig can0 txqueuelen 65536
ifconfig

Compute Module 4 PoE 4G Board 2.png If the device can0 is recognized, it means that the driver was installed successfully

Testing

Install can-utils:

 sudo apt-get install can-utils

Receive data

 candump can0

Send data

 cansend can0 000#11.22.33.44
 #11.22.33.44 is data sent
 #If you need to transmit more dta, you can also extend the data just like this:
 # cansend can0 000#11.22.33.04.70

Examples

【Python examples】

  • Go into the directorty of python example:
  • Open a terminal as receiver and run the receive.py:
sudo python reveive.py
  • Open another terminal as sender and run the send.py:
sudo python send.py

The examples provided is absed on python, please make sure that you have installed the python-can library.
Create a CAN device before you send data.:

os.system('sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 100000')
os.system('sudo ifconfig can0 up')
  • Step 1: Connect to the CAN bus
can0 = can.interface.Bus(channel = 'can0', bustyp = 'socketcan_ctypes')
  • Step 2: Create information
msg = can.Message(arbitration_id=0x123, data=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], extended_id=False)
  • Step 3: Send message

can0.send(msg)

  • Close the CAN device finally
os.system('sudo ifconfig can0 down')
  • Receive data:
msg = can0.recv(10.0)

recv() defines the timeout
for more details, please refer to https://python-can.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interfaces/socketcan.html

【C examples】

  • Blocking receive, open the terminal of Raspberry Pi and run the following commands:
cd CAN/c/receive/
