Peripherals #

microSD Cards support #

The Primary storage source for non-e-MMC versions of Cm4. The CM4 Lite version does not have on-board eMMC. The eMMC signals are available on the connector so that an external eMMC or SD card can be used. 

The micro SD Card socket is a PUSH-PUSH socket. 

To release the micro SD Card a gentle push on the micro SD Card will enable it to be removed.

Ethernet  #

Gigabit Ethernet transceiver IEEE 1588-2008 compliant MDI crossover, Pair skew, and pair polarity correction.

USB Device #

Designed to enable the CM4 to be updated via RPI boot. When a USB cable is plugged in the USB hub is automatically disabled, so the CM4 USB 2.0 port becomes a USB device 

USB 2.0 HUB  #

The device has an onboard USB 2.0 hub. Can be used to connect third-party USB Devices like USB Modems and data converters. 

This connects to the CM4 USB 2.0 port. Two ports from the hub are connected to a connector. The other port of the USB 2.0 hub is connected to the touch screen. 

There is an internal current limit switch to provide VBUS to the USB connectors. The current limit is set to approximately 1.2A. 

The USB interface is disabled to save power by default on the CM4.  To enable it you need to add the following to the config.txt file: dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host * 

The factory version of the Raspbian OS which is pre-installed on the device has a USB 2.0 hub enabled by default.

M.2 NVMe Storage (Internal Port)  #

M.2 NVMe Storage can be installed as additional storage for the controller, where heavy applications are run, NVMe boot is not supported by the boot loader, the device must boot from a separate source.

Supported Programming Methods  #

Python 

Node-RED 

Factory Installed OS  #

Raspbian OS Full Pre-configured for DS3231 RTC 

USB2.0 HUB
