Raspberry Pi Compute Quick Start Guide
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
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:
1 x Quick start sheet (you're reading it!)
1 x Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM)
1 x Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO Board (CMIO)
1 x Raspberry Pi CMIO to Raspberry Pi Camera adaptor board
1 x Raspberry Pi CMIO to Raspberry Pi Display adaptor board
2 x 22 way 0.5mm FFC cables (for use with camera and display adaptor boards)
1 x 5V @ 2A power supply
1 x USB A to micro B data cable
Initial Setup and Checks
Inserting the Compute Module into the IO Board
Insert the CM at an angle to the IO board (see picture), then gently press down on both top corners
of the module (where the holes are) until the module clicks into place.
I/O Bank Voltage Select Jumper Links
Make sure the two jumper links that select the GPIO bank 0 and 1 voltages are present on header J3
(and set to the voltage you wish to use). Do not power up the board if these jumpers are not in
place (and hence the GPIO bank(s) are unpowered) as this may damage the module.
