4. All options are selected, then click NEXT. If the selection is Raspberry Pi OS, then it will appear. If you don't need, click "No”. If the previous configuration has been saved, you can directly click "Yes". The first time you use it, you need to click "Edit Settings” to set figuration

- Note:
- If CM4 uses the latest Raspberry Pi OS, USB2.0 is default in OTG mode. However, on some baseboards, an HUB chip is added. If you encounter an error with CM4:
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. Some systems do not prompt this error and can be ignored
