Overview

Mini Base Board (A) Designed For Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.

Release Notes

Version: CM4-IO-BASE-A V4

 1: Fix the inconsistency between BT-DIS and WIFI-DIS silk screen and actual pins
2: DSI interface is changed from DSI0 to DSI1, high resolution is supported

Version: CM4-IO-BASE-A V3.1

 1: Fix the problem that some CM4 cannot be restarted
2: The power supply scheme is modified to improve the output capacity.

Note

1: DO NOT unplug any devices other than HDMI and USB when powering on.
2: FAN only supports 5V, and 12V is not supported. Confirm the fan voltage before connecting. This version of the fan does not have a controller and cannot be adjusted in speed.
3: The DSI display interface is the DSI0 interface, and the DSI1 display interface is not connected. (V4 version starts to display interface for DSI1)
4: A type C interface can be used for the power supply or a USB SLAVE interface for programming images.
5: To ensure the normal power supply of CM4, please do not connect other devices when using the Type C interface to burn the image.
6: When CM4 is in normal use, it needs to provide 5V/2A power supply for CM4. Otherwise, problems such as automatic shutdown, frequency reduction, etc. may occur.
7: When using the M.2 interface, please use the matching screws. Using screws of other lengths may cause the CM4 core to be damaged by the screws.
8: The module does not have any protection, please do not short-circuit the power supply.
9: USB2.0 is closed by default, if you need to open it, you need to add dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host.
10: If you want to use HDMI1 alone, you can purchase it separately if you need to use it HDMI Adapter.
11: Both USB 3/4 and HDMI1 need to be used, you can use adapter board to connect it out.
12: This expansion board does not support the POE function.
13: M.2 interface power supply is limited to 1.5A, if it causes problems such as slowing down of solid state or other equipment, it is recommended to buy version B. (V3 version has been fixed)

USB2.0

CM4 Error:

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

However, the 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).
CM4 Burn EMMC 12.png
If the USB does not work, you need to add the following to the config .txt file:

dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host

Then reboot.

M.2

The M.2 interface type is M KEY, which only supports PCIE channel devices (including NVME solid state, etc.), and does not support SATA hard disks.

CM4-IO-BASE-A-1-4.jpg

Support some type of adapter cards by using the PCIE channel. Some types of cards cannot be driven by the official Raspberry Pi image, it needs to recompile the kernel.

FAN

The PWM pin of the FAN is connected to the GPIO18 of the CM4 board.
For an example of controlling the fan speed using the Pi GPIOs, see this page: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/PI4-FAN-PWM#How_to_enable_it_via_Programming

CSI DSI

The V4 version starts to use the DSI1 interface, select the corresponding command when compiling the corresponding file.

Configuration file

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:
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full -y
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/7/75/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, please execute:
sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp1-double_cam.dts
# When using any DSI, there is no image output on HDMI1. Even if you do not connect a DSI screen, as long as the corresponding file is compiled, there will be no output on HDMI1.
# To restore it, simply delete the corresponding dt-blob.bin file: sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob.bin
#Execution is complete, power off and reboot CM4


New Version (Bullseye)

Camera Config

  1. Execute the following commands to edit "/boot/config.txt" file.
    sudo nano /boot/config.txt
  2. Block or remove the automatic camera detection statement:
    CM4-NANO-B002.png
  3. Add the driver of the camera you are using, here I take IMX219 as an example and connect it to CAM0, and attach the adapter.
    CM4-NANO-B003.png
    Model CAM0 Set Sentence CAM1 Set 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
    IMX708 dtoverlay=imx708,cam0 dtoverlay=imx708,cam1
    • If you are using the official Raspberry Pi camera and only one camera is connected, there is no need to set the config file. If it is not an official camera, set the "dtoverlay" statement without the "cam" suffix.
    • CM4-NANO - only CAM0 is used, so you only need to add "dtoverlay=imx219,cam0".
    4. Press Ctrl+o to save the file and then press Enter.

    5. Ctrl+x to exit the editor.
    6. Reboot the Raspberry Pi.
    sudo reboot
    

Camera Test

  1. Enter the camera detection command, you can see that the camera is detected by now.
    libcamera-hello --list-cameras
    

    CM4-NANO-B005.png

  2. Display the camera screen on the desktop.
  3. libcamera-hello -t
    
  4. Taking photos.
    libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg
    
  5. Record a video of 10s.
    libcamera-vid -t 10000 -o test.h264
    
  6. Other Commands:
    Check whether the camera is detected:
    libcamera-hello --list-cameras

    Open the corresponding cameras:

    libcamera-hello  --camera 1
    libcamera-hello  --camera 0
    

    Take a photo:

    libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg
    #Add --camera to specify a camera

    Camera Test

    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.
