5.2 Engegada i configuració inicials

1. After physical installation, connect necessary peripherals such as a display via HDMI, USB devices, and network cables.
2. Apply power to the carrier board. The CB1 V2.2 will boot up.
3. Follow the instructions for your specific carrier board and chosen operating system (e.g., Klipper on Ubuntu) for initial software setup and configuration. This typically involves flashing an OS image to a MicroSD card and inserting it into the CB1.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The CB1 V2.2 is primarily designed to run Linux-based operating systems, such as Debian or Ubuntu, and is frequently used with Klipper firmware for 3D printers. The operational steps will largely depend on the specific software and application.

6.1 Integració del firmware de Klipper

When used with Klipper firmware, the CB1 V2.2 acts as the host computer, managing the 3D printer's operations. This typically involves:

• Flashing a Klipper-compatible Linux image (e.g., MainsailOS, FluiddPi) onto a MicroSD card and booting the CB1 from it.
• Connecting the CB1 to your 3D printer's mainboard (e.g., Manta M4P/M8P) via USB or other specified interfaces.
• Configuring Klipper settings via a web interface (e.g., Mainsail, Fluidd) accessible through your network.

6.2 General Linux Usage

For general-purpose computing, the CB1 V2.2 can run a full Linux distribution. Users can connect a monitor via HDMI, a keyboard and mouse via USB, and access the internet via Ethernet or WiFi. Standard Linux commands and applications can then be utilized.

7. Compatibilitat

The CB1 V2.2 is designed for broad compatibility within the maker ecosystem:

• Raspberry Pi CM4 Form Factor: Features the same BTB (Board-to-Board) header as the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, allowing it to be used with various CM4-compatible carrier boards.
• BIGTREETECH Manta Series: Fully compatible with BIGTREETECH Manta M4P, M5P, and M8P motherboards, providing a seamless Klipper host solution for 3D printers.
• Pi4B Adapter: Can be used with a Pi4B adapter to mimic the form factor and some functionality of a Raspberry Pi 3B, offering a viable alternative.
