CM4-NVME-NAS-BOX
| ||
Overview
CM4-NVME-NAS-BOX is an all-in-one mini-computer, mainly designed but not limited to homes, small home offices, etc. Provides a simple and easy-to-use solution, no expert knowledge of networking and storage systems is required. On-board infrared, audio, and other modules.
Notes
- Do not unplug any device except the USB when it is charged.
- The Type C port can be used as a power supply or as a USB SLAVE interface to program images.
- To ensure the normal power supply of CM4, please do not connect other devices when using the Type C interface to program the image.
- When CM4 is in normal use, it needs to provide a 5V 2A or higher power supply for CM4. Otherwise, problems such as automatic shutdown and frequency reduction may occur.
- The module does not have any protection, please do not short-circuit the power supply.
- USB2.0 is closed by default, if you want to open it, you need to add dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host in config.txt.

USB2.0
The USB port is disabled by default on the CM4 to save power. If you need to start, you need to add the following to the config.txt file:
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
After restarting
If you use the latest Raspberry Pi OS (image after October 30, 2021) USB2.0 is OTG mode by default, CM4 will report an error:
config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)
However, 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).
Audio
Audio interface using USB audio, support for playback and recording, stereo codec, support for headphones with microphone, headset two-in-one.
Check the USB device: lsusb
pi@CM4-NVME-NAS-BASE:~ $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0c76:161f JMTek, LLC.
Note: If the audio is not recognized, it may be that the USB2.0 function is not enabled, you need to enable USB2.0 first and then it can be recognized.
Check the playback device: aplay -l

Note: The recording test command is not unique, users need to modify the command according to the actual device number, where the first "-Dplughw:1,0" means to record sound card 1 device 0 (arecord -l can see the corresponding sound card and device), and the second "aplay -Dplughw:1,0" means to play sound card 1 device 0 (aplay -l can see the corresponding sound card and device). (you can see the corresponding sound card and device in aplay -l).
Adjust the volume: sudo alsamixer.

Synchronize hardware clock -> system clock:
sudo hwclock -s #Need to close the network, or disable the network to check the time, otherwise, it will be changed back.
Set the hardware clock time:
sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2021 16:45:05"

sudo hwclock -r
Display version information:
sudo hwclock --verbose
4G
The interface is the MINI PCIE interface on the back of the box, connect it to SIM7600G-H-PCIE.
sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2 ＃Enter the following commands: AT+CUSBPIDSWITCH=9011,1,1 #Return OK #And wait for rebooting the network card #This command only needs to be set once, the next power-up will be in this mode by default. #If you can't get the USB0 card to execute sudo dhclient -v usb0
If the connected module lsusb is identified as ID 1e0e:9018
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1e0e:9018 Qualcomm / Option
But there is no /dev/ttyUSB2, execute the following commands:
sudo modprobe option sudo sh -c 'echo "1e0e 9018" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id'
Please click here to refer to RNDIS dial-up Internet Access.
The USB0 network card will be recognized after normal execution of the above (if you don't have another USB network card connected).
If you are using an IoT card, such as a mobile IoT card, and successfully register the network; however, dial-up internet fails to ping through, you can try to select the optimal frequency band with one of the following AT commands:
AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400183,0x000001E000000000,0x0000000000000021 AT+CNBP=0x0002000000400180,0x480000000000000000000000000000000000000000000042000001E200000095,0x0000000000000021
AT Command
If the network is not connected, you can check the status via AT commands:
sudo apt-get install minicom sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

CSI DSI
Configure Files
CSI and DSI are disabled by default. When using the camera and DSI, three I2C devices, I2C-10, I2C-11, and I2C-0, will be occupied.
Booting is performed as follows:
wget https://files.waveshare.com/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 two cameras and DSI0, you can execute: sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp0-double_cam.dts #If you want to use two cameras and DSI1, you can execute: sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp1-double_cam.dts #When using any DSI, HDMI1 has no image output, even if you are not connected to the DSI screen, as long as you compile the corresponding file, then HDMI1 will have no output #If you need to restore, delete the corresponding dt-blob.bin: sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob.bin #Execution is complete, turn off the power and restart CM4
Record Test
Connect to the camera and the DSI display:
1. Please make sure it is connected under powering off.
2. Connect to the power.
3. The display will be booted after waiting for a few seconds.
4. If it fails to boot, check whether /boot/dt-blob.bin exists, and reboot it if it exists.
Old Version (Buster)
The camera needs to run raspi-config, select Interfacing Options -> Camera -> Yes -> Finish -> Yes, reboot the system, open enable camera, and then restart to save the changes.
Test the Raspberry Pi camera.
Check the screen of the first connected camera:
sudo raspivid -t 0 -cs 0
Check the screen of the second connected camera:
sudo raspivid -t 0 -cs 1
New Version (Bullseye)
If you use the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye):
#The new system uses dual cameras #Remove camera_auto_detect=1 in config.txt #camera_auto_detect=1 #Add dtoverlay=imx219,cam1 dtoverlay=imx219,cam0 #Where imx219 is the camera sensor model and other sensors are supported dtoverlay=ov5647,cam0 dtoverlay=imx219,cam0 dtoverlay=ov9281,cam0 dtoverlay=imx477,cam0 dtoverlay=imx519,cam0 #Then reboot reboot #Open camera libcamera-hello -t 0 or libcamera-hello #Other instructions: #Check if the camera is detected libcamera-hello --list-cameras #Open the corresponding camera, preview for 5 seconds libcamera-hello --camera 1 libcamera-hello --camera 0 #Taking photos libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg #Shoot video libcamera-vid -t 10000 -o test.h264 #You can add --camera to specify the camera #-t <duration> option allows the user to choose how long the window is displayed in milliseconds
For more commands, you can click here.
- Note: If using a DSI interface display there will be an HDMI disabled, even if just compiling the corresponding file without connecting a DSI screen.
- Any connection between two HDMI ports can output images, not limited to that HDMI. If two HDMI screens are connected, only HDMI0 has an image output.
- If you want to enable both HDMI, delete the dt-blob.bin file with the following command:
sudo rm -rf /boot/dt-blob.bin
- And then reboot it.
Please refer to Raspberry Pi manual.
Connect to the camera again:
1: Make sure to connect in the power off state.
2: Connect the power supply.
3: Wait a few seconds for the screen to boot.
4: If it cannot be started, check whether /boot/dt-blob.bin exists and if it exists, restart it again.
5: The camera needs to run raspi-config, select Interfacing Options -> Camera -> Yes -> Finish -> Yes, reboot the system, open enable camera, and then restart to save the changes.
Test photo:
raspistill -o image.jpg
Test video:
raspivid -o video.h264 -t 10000
Among them, -t 10000 means recording for 10 seconds, and users can adjust it according to their own needs.
Please refer to CSI camera.
