X630-Software
This wiki describes how to use x630 on the Raspberry Pi OS.
For Raspberry Pi OS
X630 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 repeatedly, 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 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:
We found that some users prefer hardware mode, so our factory default settings have been changed to hardware mode
Disconnect power to the Raspberry Pi before changing dip switch positions!!!
| SELECTION | SWITCH SETTINGS | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware reset(Default) | HW = 1 | SW = 0 |
| Software reset | HW = 0 | SW = 1 |
Explain：
- Hardware reset: After starting RASPISTILL or RASPIVID once 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 multiple times and don't need to reboot Raspberry Pi (Recommend)
- Default setting is 'Software reset';
- Please remove the yellow protective film before change dip switch.
