HOW TO USE

INSTALLATION

CM3/CM3+

If you use Compute Module 3 or Compute Module 3+, you need to write OS image to the
embedded EMMC, otherwise they cannot work. Here show you how to write image to EMMC

1. Pull the jumpers of USB SLAVE 1/2/3/4 SELECTION (you need to pull two jumpers
here), set the BOOT ENABLE USB SLAVE jumpers to EN position.

2. Install USB driver. Run the software rpiboot_setup (You can download it from Resource
of wiki) to install the drivers and boot tool.

3. Connect 5V power adapter to Power interface, plug the USB SLAVE port of IO Board
Plus into your host PC USB.

4. Run the rpiboot.exe tool. After a few seconds, the CM3 eMMC will be recognized as a
disk.

5. Run WinDiskImager.exe tool to burn the image to eMMC of CM3.

Note:

Ensure you are not writing to any USB devices while installation.
Because the eMMC of CM3 is only 4G, the image file flashed should be small than 4G. If you
want the GUI, you can install it with these commands after installation
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-ui-mods

CM3L/CM3+ L

1. Download the image for CM3L

2. Connect the SD card to computer with card reader. The capacity of SD card should
larger than 8G.

3. Run the Win32DiskImager.exe, choose the CM3L image and burn it to SD card.

4. After burning successfully, insert the card to the card slot of IO Board Plus

CONNECTING DISPLAY AND CAMERA

Download the test image provide by us and install them.

Note: Before using, please check that whether the BOOT ENABLE USB SLAVE jumper is set
onto the DIS option.

CONNECTING THE OFFIC AIL 7INCH DISPLAY

1. You need an adapter plate and a 22PIN FFC to connect the display to DISP1 interface of
IO Board Plus

2. Connect the 5V and GND pin of display to 5V and GND pin of IO Board Plus with wires.

3. Connect these pins together with wires:

GPIO0<->CD1_SDA

GPIO1<->CD1_SCL

4. Connect the power adapter

5. Wait for a few seconds, the display will be powered on.

CONNECT W VESHARE 7IN CH HDMI LCD (C)

1. Make sure the official 7inch display don’t be connect to IO Board Plus. Only without the
DISP interface display, the Raspbian will display via HDMI interface by default.

2. Connect the HDMI interface of LCD to the HDMI interface of IO Board IO Plus

3. Connect power adapter

4. Waiting for a few seconds, the LCD will be powered on

CONNECT CAMERA

1. Connect camera to the CAM1 interface of IO Board Plus (need RPi Zero V1.3 Camera
Cable 15cm)

2. Connect these pins together:

GPIO0<->CD1_SDA

Version：V1.0，Date：20171101
Compute Module IO Board Plus User Manual

GPIO1<->CD1_SCL

GPIO4<->CAM1_IO1

GPIO5<->CAM1_IO0

3. Connect to power

4. If you want to connect more than one camera, you can connect another to CAM0
interface.

5. Use the CAM0 interface, you need to connect these pins together:

GPIO28<->CD0_SDA

GPIO29<->CD0_SCL

GPIO30<->CAM0_IO1

GPIO31<->CAM0_IO0

6. Execute these commands to use the camera:

raspivid -t 0 -cs 0

raspivid -t 0 -cs 1

Note:

1. -cs: Used to choose the camera 0 or 1. Parameter 0 means CAM1, and 1 means CAM0

2. Original Raspbian has no boot files for official display and official. If you use original
Raspbian, you need to convert dts files which are provided by Raspberry Pi to bin files
and copy the bin files to pi/boot/ of Raspbian.

Commands:

sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-disp1-cam2.dts

If you use the image provide by us, the OS has been pre-configured. You need to
configure it again.

Version：V1.0，Date：20171101
Compute Module IO Board Plus User Manual

EXAMPLES

While test the examples, you had better connect a display and keyboard to the IO Board Plus.

If you use original Raspbian, you have to install necessary libraries before first. For more
information about how to install libraries, please refer to Libraries Installation for RPi.
