Compute Module 4 POE Board
| ||
Overview
This is an IO board for evaluating the Raspberry Pi CM4 or being integrated into end products. the board feature PoE function, it can be used for all variants of CM4.Support POE power supply and 7~36V DC DC power supply, onboard 4 x USB3.2 Gen1.
Note
1: Do not plug and unplug any device except USB and HDMI while the baseboard is working.
2: This model only supports a 5V fan and cannot work with the 12V fan. Please confirm the fan voltage before connecting.
3: Micro USB is used as the USB SLAVE interface to burn the image, and cannot be used as the OTG interface.
4: In normal use, it is necessary to provide at least 5V 1.5A power supply for CM4. Otherwise, there may be problems such as automatic shutdown, frequency reduction, and so on.
5: Onboard default 4 x USB 3.2 Gen1 interface.
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.
8: Two DISP interfaces cannot be used together by default.

Writing Image
- Write Image for Compute Module Boards eMMC version
- Write Image for Compute Module Boards Lite version
RTC FAN
- Note: Please connect the fan before turning on the power of the base board and then complete the test. Please do not connect the fan after the base board is powered on, because the fan control chip has been powered on, otherwise the chip will be burned!
- Note: Before connecting, please confirm whether the rated voltage of the fan is consistent with the voltage actually connected to the fan.
Please note that DSI and CSI are prohibited when 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 it to your program instead of the kernel, you can refer to the C and Python demo reference click here
RTC
sudo nano /boot/config.txt #Add the following lines 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
How to use Hwclock
Synchronize system clock to hardware clock
sudo hwclock -w
Synchronize hardware clock to system clock
sudo hwclock -s #The network or the NTP needs to be closed, otherwise it will be changed back.
Set the hardware clock time:
sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2021 16:45:05"
View 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 no official configuration method for the fan currently , 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!
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 following is a description of config.txt
#############################
Name: cm4io-fan
Info: Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board fan controller
Load: dtoverlay=cm4io-fan,<param>[=<val>]
Params: minrpm RPM target for the fan when the SoC is below
mintemp (default 3500)
maxrpm RPM target for the fan when the SoC is above
maxtemp (default 5500)
midtemp Temperature (in millicelcius) at which the fan
begins to speed up (default 50000)
midtemp_hyst Temperature delta (in millicelcius) below mintemp
at which the fan will drop to minrpm (default 2000)
maxtemp Temperature (in millicelcius) at which the fan
will be held at maxrpm (default 70000)
maxtemp_hyst Temperature delta (in millicelcius) below maxtemp
at which the fan begins to slow down (default 2000)
#############################
Or directly refer to the following:
dtoverlay=cm4io-fan,minrpm=500,maxrpm=5000,midtemp=45000,midtemp_hyst=2000,maxtemp=50000,maxtemp_hyst=2000
The fan will start to accelerate when temperature is higher than 45 degrees Celsius, and will up to the highest speed when 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.com/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 reboot #Other parts of the commands: #Check if the camera is detected libcamera-hello --list-cameras #Open the corresponding camera libcamera-hello --camera 1 libcamera-hello --camera 0 #Taking Pictures libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg #You can add --camera to specify the camera
More instructions click me
- HDMI1 is disabled if you use DSI interfaces for displaying, even if you just compile the corresponding files without connecting to the DSI screen, please note it
- Any connection of two HDMI ports can output images, not limited to which HDMI port, if two HDMI screens are connected, only HDMI0 has image output
- If you want to enable both HDMI, please delete the dt-blob.bin file with the following command:
sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob.bin
- Then reboot
