RPI COMPUTE DEV KIT - RASPBERRY-PI

QUICK START GUIDE

Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit

INTRODUCTION

Please read this quick start guide carefully before unpacking the boards from their antistatic bags or using the

kit, as it contains important information on how to avoid damage to the Compute Module and/or IO Board.

STATIC SENSITIVITY WARNING

Both the Compute Module and Compute Module IO Board can be damaged by static electricity (electrostatic

discharge or ESD). Please take adequate precautions against static discharge during handling.

DEVELOPMENT KIT CONTENTS

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module Development Kit should contain the following:

n 1x Quick start sheet (you’re reading it!)

n 1x Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM)

n 1x Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO

Board (CMIO)

n 1x Raspberry Pi CMIO to Raspberry Pi

Camera adaptor board

n 1x Raspberry Pi CMIO to Raspberry Pi

Display adaptor board

n 2x 22 way 0.5mm FFC cables

(for use with camera and display adaptor boards)

n 1x 5V power supply

n 1x USB A to micro B data cable

n 4x Female to female jumper wires

INITIAL SETUP AND CHECKS

INSERTING THE COMPUTE

MODULE INTO THE IO BOARD

To insert the Compute Module (CM) into the IO

Board (CMIO) socket ﬁrst insert the CM in at a

45 degree angle, then gently press down on both top

corners of the module (where the holes are) until the

module clicks into place.

CHECKING IO BANK VOLTAGE JUMPERS

Please make sure that the 2 jumpers that power

the GPIO bank 0 and 1 voltages are present on J3

(and set to the voltage you wish to use). Do not

power up the board if these jumpers are not

attached (and hence the GPIO bank(s) are

unpowered) as it this may damage the module.

POWERING UP

Make sure the Compute Module is inserted correctly

into the socket (J1). Make sure the GPIO Banks are

powered (make sure J3 has jumpers present and set

correctly). Attach the micro USB power supply to J2

(POWER IN) to power up the board.

Note at this point the red power LED and green ACT

should light up. Nothing further should happen (as

the Compute Module Flash [eMMC] is blank).

LOADING AN OS IMAGE AND

FURTHER DOCUMENTATION

The next step is to write an Operating System (OS)

image on to the on-board eMMC Flash. Once this

is done the board should boot into the OS of your

choice at power on.

Further documentation including a step by step

guide to ﬂashing the eMMC is available here:
