This wiki describes how to use x630 on the Raspberry Pi OS. <span style="color:red;">Note: The software can currently be used directly on Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+/3B/Zero series. Software support for Raspberry Pi 5 software is not available which need to be tested.
 
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has updated several versions recently;
 
The use guide of X630 depends on the official Raspberry Pi OS version you are using. Different versions have different usage methods. If you have some questions, please contact us and attach the os version you are using.(<span style="color:red;">Email: support@geekworm.com</span>)
 
==For Raspberry Pi OS==
Disconnect power supply '''NOTE:''' Since the X630 V1.5 version removes the software reset&hardware reset DIP switch, for the V1.5 version, please ignore the use of software reset or directly visit to [[X630-Hardware-Reset]] X630 v1.3 has two reset mode: '''Hardware reset''' and '''Software reset''' modes;  You can use hardware reset mode if you use it on raspberry pi hardware or raspberry pi os, software reset uses GPIO 509 to reset operation through GPIO, which can prevent you from restarting the Raspberry Pi before changing dip switch positionsrepeatedly, which is very convenient.  The user guide of X630 is similar to [[HDMI TO CSI-2|C779]] when X630 is in hardware mode, but X630 supports audio when used with X630-A2, and [[HDMI TO CSI-2|C779]] does not support audio  First, please confirm & select X630 work mode according the picture; After November 2021, the default factory mode is hardware mode; We found that some users prefer hardware mode, so our factory default settings have been changed to hardware mode

1. Once booted, update your Raspberry Pi by running the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
2. Run the following command to go into the Raspberry Pi configuration tool
sudo raspi-config
3. Navigate Return to '5 Interfacing Options' and hit Enter. Now select the 'Camera' option, and hit the Enter key to enable it. Select “Finish” and select to reboot your Raspberry Pi. sudo reboot[[X630]]
4. Once rebooted, you need to make sure that the ‘/dev/video0’ device is available. Use this command to check in a terminal window:
ls /dev/video0
If you see anything other than ‘file not found‘, then it’s available.
