NASPi CM4-M2 is a NUC-style storage kit based on Raspberry Pi CM4 all series. It has a M2 KEY-M (NVME) SSD interface and a M2 KEY-B (NGFF) SSD interface. Its OLED screen can display some informations like CPU temperature, IP address . Also provides 3 USB 2.0 ports and 2 full-size HDMI ports, supports safe shutdown (requires installation script).

Important note:

• Don't need to use additional SD card and power supply if you are using CM4 with emmc. When burning the system, please short the OTG on the X515 board; at the same time, use the USB-A to USB-C OTG cable (prepare it yourself) to connect to the computer.

Features

• Model: NASPi CM4-M2
• NUC style set-top box, compact design
• Compatible with M2 NVME SSD or M2 SATA SSD（Only support 2280 length SSD installation）
• Comes with an aluminum alloy heatsink C235 for CM4 passive cooling
• Comes with a 0.96 inch OLED display
• Support software safe shutdown & auto power on & RTC function
• On-board blue light button switch to control power ON/OFF

Hi, I am using both slots with 1Tb SSDs. The NVME SSD is working but the system does not see the SATA SSD. Is there a special process to set this up? Are there cli commands to debug this?

Here are a few dumps.

It is all working now. I had inserted the SSD upside-down.

What purpose does the AA pin-pair on the front right of the board, immediately above the OTG pin-pair, serve?

The 2 pins right above the OTG are AON (auto power-on), you can use the jumper cap to realize his function.

Is there any documentation available for the GPIOs used by this board. Specifically, I would like to know the functions of the GPIOs related to power management. As far as I can tell, it's something along these lines:

GPIO17 [OUT, active high] - Set to indicated OS boot complete? GPIO27 [OUT, active high] - Request power off. GPIO4 [IN, active high] - Shutdown requested.

It seems like GPIO17 needs to be set for GPIO4 to have any function. GPIO27 seems to have different behaviour depending on whether the power button has been pushed.

Could someone clarify exactly how the power management GPIO interface is supposed to work? There are clearly power LED blink sequences involved as well that aren't document anywhere. A datasheet for the power management IC would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to know what the 6 pin header next to the front usb port does.

I was guesing/hoping it was for i2c spi and/or uart but i couldnt find anything about it. If this is the case i would also like to know what the pinout of this header is.
