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.

==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>)

If you see anything other than ‘file 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 found‘, then it’s available. support audio

You can skip We found that some users prefer hardware mode, so our factory default settings have been changed to step 12 if you use hardware reset mode;
