Note: Many of the options for the Raspbian OS can be automatically configured using the Compute

Module Configuration Tool for Raspbian see “Compute Module Configuration Tool for Raspbian” on

page 67.

Note: On Raspbian based OSs the config.txt and cmdline.txt files are located in the /boot

folder of the mounted OS.

†

The onboard flash eMMC storage, for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 1, is 4GB and is not large

enough for the full version of the Raspbian Operating System. The “Lite” version can be installed but will

only provide a command shell interface by default. See chapter 9 for an example of how to install a

minimal windowing system on Jessie Lite that is less than 4GB in size.

‡

Edit the file config.txt to add the line “hdmi_pixel_encoding=2”

Edit the file config.txt to add the line “dtoverlay=lirc-rpi” to enable IR support. Standard MCE

type IR is supported by default.

‖

Edit the file config.txt to remove the “#” at the start of the line “#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi” to enable

IR support.

Edit the file config.txt to remove the “#” at the start of the line “#disable_overscan=1” to

prevent black borders.

‡‡

Install the Python Serial module by entering the following from the terminal:

‖‖

On the “My OSMC” menu, select “Pi Config” and in the “Display” section change the

“hdmi_pixel_encoding” setting to “RGB full”.

†††

Edit the file config.txt to add the line “dtoverlay=lirc-rpi” to enable IR support. On the “My

OSMC” menu, select “Remote” and select “rc6-mce-lircd” type remote for a standard MCE type IR

remote.

‡‡‡

Modify the file config.txt to include the following lines:

enable_uart=1

dtoverlay=uart1

core_freq=250

Edit the file cmdline.txt to remove the following text “console=serial0,115200” if present.
