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==
'''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, we strongly recommend you ;  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 repeatedly, which is very convenient. And on other hardware platforms,   The user guide of X630 actually reserves pins is similar to facilitate you to use custom GPIO pin to implement software reset operations or use directly [[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
First, please choose your reset mode based on your hardware and OS (default is software reset mode), you can skip this step if you use software reset, it should be noted that disconnect power supply to the Raspberry Pi before changing dip switch positions.
'''PS:'''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
Explain:
* Hardware reset: After starting RASPISTILL or RASPIVID <span style="color:red;">once</span> then you will need to reboot Raspberry Pi to restart it again (Please use when operating system cannot control the X630 module via GPIO509)
* Software reset: Starting RASPISTILL or RASPIVID <span style="color:red;">multiple times</span> and don't need to reboot Raspberry Pi ('''Recommend''').* Default setting is 'Software Hardware reset';.
* Please remove the yellow protective film before change dip switch.
