1 Basic Setup and Configuration Steps

The following list shows the basic steps that will be performed:

1. Physically install the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 into the NEC Compute Module Interface

Board and install into the display. See section 2 on page 14 for details.

2. Connect the host PC to the Interface Board in the display via the USB Micro-B connector for

programming the module. Connect other USB devices, such as a keyboard and mouse, for

configuration and use. See section 3 on page 20 for details.

Note: If the Compute Module is to be programmed with a new OS, follow these steps after

connecting any USB devices:

1. Select and download the OS to install on the Compute Module as well as any other software

tools. See section 4 on page 28 for details.

2. Prepare and run the tools to make the Compute Module appear as a Mass Storage device on the

host system so the OS can be imaged.

3. Image the OS from the host system to the Compute Module.

4. Configure any boot options by editing the config.txt and cmdline.txt files on the boot partition.

See section 5 on page 33 for details.

5. Restart the Compute Module.

6. Configure other boot and runtime options. See section 7 on page 54 for details.

7. Check for any system and firmware updates. See section 7.7 on page 55.
