2.2 Connecting the USB HDMI Adapter

  1. Locate the FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) connectors on both the CM4-IO-BASE-B board and the USB HDMI Adapter.
  2. Gently open the latches on the FFC connectors.
  3. Insert the FFC cables into the corresponding connectors, ensuring they are fully seated and correctly oriented.
  4. Close the latches to secure the FFC cables.

2.3 Initial Power-Up and OS Installation

  1. Connect a 5V/2.5A power supply to the USB-C power input port on the CM4-IO-BASE-B.
  2. Connect a display to one of the HDMI ports (either directly on the CM4-IO-BASE-B or via the USB HDMI Adapter).
  3. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB 2.0 ports.
  4. If your CM4 is a Lite variant (without eMMC), insert a microSD card with a pre-installed Raspberry Pi OS image into the microSD card slot.
  5. Set the BOOT selection switch to the appropriate position (ON for USB-C boot/programming, OFF for eMMC/microSD boot).
  6. Power on the device. Follow the standard Raspberry Pi OS setup procedures.

3.2 Boot Selection

The BOOT switch on the board controls the boot mode of the Compute Module 4:

  • ACTIVITAT: The CM4 will boot from the USB-C interface. This mode is typically used for flashing the eMMC memory or for console access.
  • DESACTIVAT: The CM4 will boot from the eMMC (if present) or the microSD card (for Lite variants).

Always ensure the CM4 is powered off before changing the BOOT switch position.

4. Manteniment

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Waveshare CM4-IO-BASE-B, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

  • Mantenir net: Regularly clean the board with a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Avoid using liquids.
  • Apagada correcta: Always perform a proper software shutdown of the Raspberry Pi OS before disconnecting power to prevent data corruption.
  • Condicions ambientals: Operate the board within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid extreme conditions.
  • Manejar amb cura: Avoid touching the electronic components directly. Use anti-static precautions when handling the board.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your CM4-IO-BASE-B, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Sense alimentació/LED apagats: Ensure the 5V/2.5A USB-C power supply is correctly connected and functional. Check the PWR indicator LED on the board.
  • Sense sortida de pantalla: Verify that the HDMI cables are securely connected to both the board/adapter and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source. Check the BOOT switch position.
  • Els dispositius USB no funcionen: Confirm that USB devices are properly plugged into the USB 2.0 ports. Try different USB devices or ports.
