Precautions

Do not plug or unplug any device while it is powered on.

PS: If you are using the system of the Bullseye branch, you need to change "apt-get" to "apt", the system of the Bullseye branch only supports Python3.

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 USB3.0 interfaces, it doesn't support PCIe devices.
CMD-DUAL-ETH-4G5G-BASE-11.jpg
SIM card is required to work with the 4G/5G module.
If you want to disable the 4G/5G module, you can set the GPIO6 to High and enable it again by setting the GPIO6 to Low.
The module requires about 30s to enable/disable the 4G/5G modules.

RTC FAN

  • Note 1: Please connect the cooling fan before you power the whole device, otherwise, the control chip will be damaged!
  • Note 2: Please check the voltage before you connect the cooling fan, it is default 12V.

Use Raspberry Pi system (2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-full)
DO NOT use DSI and CSI when using RTC.
If you need to use it at the same time, switch the I2C to the I2C1 device (right).
CM4-DUAL-ETH-4G-5G-BASE-12.png
All programs or drivers need to be modified after switching.
The demo uses I2C10 by default (left).

If you need to use it simply, or add it to your program, refer to the C and Python demo reference [click here] The following is to add the driver to the kernel.

RTC

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
#Add at the end
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf85063a,i2c_csi_dsi
#Add # in front of dtparam=audio=on
#dtparam=audio=on
#Save and exit, restart
sudo reboot

Using Hwclock

  • Synchronize the system clock and the RTC
sudo hwclock -w
  • Synchronize the hardware clock and the RTC
sudo hwclock  -s

Note that it will be restore if the network is diabled

  • Set hardware clock
sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2021 16:45:05"
  • Check the hardware clock
sudo hwclock -r
  • Check the version
sudo hwclock --verbose

RTC test

1.Download the test demo.

Open the terminal of the Raspberry Pi, enter the following command:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

FAN test

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

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/neg2led/cm4io-fan.git
cd cm4io-fan
sudo chmod 777 install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

The temperature is higher than 45 degrees Celsius and starts to accelerate, and the highest speed is higher than 50 degrees Celsius.

CSI DSI

CSI and DSI are disabled by default. When using the camera and DSI, it will occupy three I2C devices: I2C-10, I2C-11, and I2C-0.

  • Open a terminal and run the following commands:
wget https://www.waveshare.net/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 you want to use both cameras and DSI0
 sudo  dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp0-double_cam.dts
 #If you want to ue both cameras and DSI1
 sudo  dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp1-double_cam.dts
 #When using any DSI interface, HDMI1 will have 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, please 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

And then connect the cameras and DSI display
1: Please power off the IO Board first before your connection.
2: Connect the power adapter after connecting the cameras and DSI display
3: Wait a few seconds before the screen boot up.
4: If the DSI LCD cannot display, please check if you have added /boot/dt-blob.bin. If there already has the dt-blob.bin, just try to reboot.
5: The camera needs to be enabled by raspi-config, enter sudo raspi-config on the terminal, choose Interfacing Options->Camera->Yes->Finish-Yes and reboot the system

Old Version (Buster)

  • Test the Cameras:

Test camera0:

sudo raspivid -t 0 -cs 0

Test camera1:

sudo raspivid -t 0 -cs 1

New Version (Bullseye)

If you are using the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye):

libcamera-hello -t 0
or
libcamera-hello

#The new system uses dual cameras
#Remove or comment out the line camera_auto_detect=1 in config.txt
#camera_auto_detect=1

#Add the following lines:
dtoverlay=imx219,cam1
dtoverlay=imx219,cam0

#Add the corresponding line according to the camera you use, where imx219 is the camera sensor model, and there are other sensors
dtoverlay=ov5647,cam0
dtoverlay=imx219,cam0
dtoverlay=ov9281,cam0
dtoverlay=imx477,cam0

#then restart

Openwrt Configuration

Note: The openWrt system will not provide any technical support if there is any problem during use, only the following tutorials and images are provided, and no other technical support other than hardware is provided. The OpenWrt image configured above supports CM4 onboard wifi and the driver of RTL8153. CM4 can be turned into a smart router,
The following will tell you how to install Openwrt on the Raspberry Pi to realize the function of a wireless router so that the devices in the local area network can access the Internet through the wireless router, and realize the intelligent management of the local area network. The overall network topology is shown below.

CM4-DUAL-ETH-BASE-openwrt-1.png

After booting up correctly, log in to the system:
The computer is connected to the ETH0 interface, and then directly ssh remote login or web page login
The configured system default IP is: 192.168.14.1
The default IP of the system without configuration is: 192.168.1.1
Account: root without password
