2.2 Connecting the USB HDMI Adapter
- Locate the FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) connectors on both the CM4-IO-BASE-B board and the USB HDMI Adapter.
- Gently open the latches on the FFC connectors.
- Insert the FFC cables into the corresponding connectors, ensuring they are fully seated and correctly oriented.
- Close the latches to secure the FFC cables.
2.3 Initial Power-Up and OS Installation
- Connect a 5V/2.5A power supply to the USB-C power input port on the CM4-IO-BASE-B.
- Connect a display to one of the HDMI ports (either directly on the CM4-IO-BASE-B or via the USB HDMI Adapter).
- Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB 2.0 ports.
- 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.
- Set the BOOT selection switch to the appropriate position (ON for USB-C boot/programming, OFF for eMMC/microSD boot).
- Power on the device. Follow the standard Raspberry Pi OS setup procedures.
