Getting Started
Installation OS
for Raspberry Pi CM4
1. Download an image from here https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
2. Clone usbboot and compile it
sudo apt install git libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot cd usbboot make
3. Hold down the maskrom key, connect the computer using the A-A cable, and release the maskrom key
4. Run rpiboot and view the CM4 device
sudo ./rpiboot lsblk # assume that CM4 is /dev/sdx
5. Burn the image to CM4
xz -d /path/to/yymmdd-raspios-bullseye-xx.img.xz sudo dd if=/path/to/yymmdd-raspios-bullseye-xx.img of=/dev/sdx status=progress
for Radxa ROCK CM3
* todo
Software support
We have provided a script to help control the Taco fan
curl -sL https://rock.sh/get-taco | sudo -E bash -
Just copy the command above and paste it into the terminal and press enter.
Power Options
| Power Consumption | |
|---|---|
| SSD | <3W |
| 2.5 HDD | 3 ~ 5W |
| 3.5 HDD | 5 ~10W |
Option 1: Power from DC (5.5*2.5)
We provide a 12V/5A DC power supply, which is included with the Taco kit.
Option 2: Power from ATX PSU
If you plan to put the Taco in a PC enclosure, then you can use the ATX PSU. Mostly ATX PSU can meet the power requirement. You need an ATX Floppy cable to power the Taco.
