NOTICE
Static electricity can damage the components in your system. To protect your system's
components from static damage during the installation process, touch any of the unpainted
metal surfaces on your computer's frame or wear an ESD wrist strap before handling
internal components. Either method will safely discharge static electricity that's naturally
present in your body.
When handling the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, be sure to hold it along the side edges
using your thumb and index finger. Avoid touching the components and pin connectors as
damage can occur.
Align the notches on the Compute Module with the ridges in the DDR2 slot. Insert the
module using firm and even pressure, and push down on the module until the clips on the
side of the slot snap into place.
How to flash the eMMC
In order to flash the Compute Module's eMMC memory, an additional board, like the
Compute Module IO Board V3, shall be used. Use the latest RPIBOOT utility from
Raspberry Pi and refer to its documentation for installation and usage details.
Alternatively, if using the Compute Module 4S (or a Compute Module 3/3+ with USB host
boot mode previously enabled ) you can boot the unit from USB , access via SSH, and
flash the eMMC which will be available as a local mass storage device.
microSD installation
Iono Pi Max has two microSD slots to install flash memory cards.
When the Compute Module Lite is installed, as it lacks an internal eMMC chip, one of the
two microSD slots will be used as the boot SD card, just like with a Raspberry Model B
board. The other microSD can be used as additional storage. Dedicated commands to the
microcontroller allow to select which slot is used for boot, and if the other is enabled or not.
When a Compute Module with embedded eMMC is installed, both microSD slots can be
used as additional storage. You can only access one SD card at a time, but the active card
can be selected sending the appropriate commands to the microcontroller.
The microSD slots are not directly accessible with the case closed. The slots are located
on the vertical board, next to the USB/Ethernet modular connector.
The bottom slot is SDA, and the top is SDB.
