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, it 3B+/3B/Zero series. Software support for Raspberry Pi 5 software is just a demonot available which need to be tested.

==For The Raspberry Pi OS==X630 Foundation has two reset mode: '''Hardware reset''' and '''Software reset''' modes, we strongly recommend you use software 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 repeatedly, which is very convenient. And on other hardware platforms, X630 actually reserves pins to facilitate you to use custom GPIO pin to implement software reset operations or use directly hardware reset mode.updated several versions recently;

First, please choose your reset mode based The use guide of X630 depends on your hardware and the official Raspberry Pi OS (default is software reset mode), version you can skip this step if are using. Different versions have different usage methods. If you use software resethave some questions, it should be noted that disconnect power supply to please contact us and attach the Raspberry Pi before changing dip switch positionsos version you are using.(<span style="color:red;">Email: support@geekworm.com</span>)

Once booted, update your Raspberry Pi by running the following commands in a terminal window: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

2Since the X630 V1.5 version removes the software reset&hardware reset DIP switch, for the V1. Run 5 version, please ignore the following command use of software reset or directly visit to go into the Raspberry Pi configuration tool sudo raspi[[X630-Hardware-configReset]]

[[FileX630 v1.3 has two reset mode:Raspi-config-1.jpg]]'''Hardware reset''' and '''Software reset''' modes;

If You can use hardware reset mode if you see anything other than ‘file not found‘use it on raspberry pi hardware or raspberry pi os, then it’s availablesoftware reset uses GPIO 509 to reset operation through GPIO, which can prevent you from restarting the Raspberry Pi repeatedly, which is very convenient.

You can skip The user guide of X630 is similar to step 12 if you use [[HDMI TO CSI-2|C779]] when X630 is in hardware reset mode;, but X630 supports audio when used with X630-A2, and [[HDMI TO CSI-2|C779]] does not support audio

Save and exit with ctrl + xFirst, followed by y when prompted to saveplease confirm & select X630 work mode according the picture; After November 2021, and then enter.the default factory mode is hardware mode;

6. Create a script to reset the X630 module cd ~ sudo nano reset.shEnter the following: echo "0" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio509/value sleep 1 echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio509/valueSave and exit with ctrl + xWe found that some users prefer hardware mode, followed by y when prompted so our factory default settings have been changed to save, and then enter.hardware mode

7. Reboot your <span style="color:red;">Disconnect power to the Raspberry Pi sudo rebootbefore changing dip switch positions!!!</span>

Return the fold of reset.sh file after restart cd ~ sudo bash reset.sh raspistill [[File:X630-Reset-o image1.jpgHere, "image101.jpg" is the name of your image that will be saved to your Raspberry Pi|none|800px|X630 dip switch setting]]

13. If you need '''For Hardware Reset''' refer to take second image, then you will need to reboot the Raspberry Pi and execute the "raspistill" again. sudo reboot[[X630-Hardware-Reset]]

14. To record a video with the '''For Software Reset''' refer to [[X630 module raspivid -o video.h264 Software-t 10000Here, "video" is the name of your video and "10000" is the number of milliseconds.Reset]]
