:'''2) How to flash OS onto the eMMC of CM4? (CM4 with eMMC)'''
::b. Connect Type-C OTG to your computer
::e. Remove the jumper of nBOOT&GND after flashing is complete, then restart your device;
Firstly, insert the '''C1220''' button battery. run the following command in web terminal window:
1. switch to 'root'user su rootthen type the password, and the default password is 'Q: How to enable RTC?''root'also.
rw
3. Edit the /boot/config.txt file, and change line <code>dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8563</code> to <code>dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307</code> (due to use the different RTC chip).
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
sudo hwclock -w
sudo hwclock -r
5. Swith OS to readonly mode
ro
===Enable OLED display===
Run the following command in web terminal window:
rw
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled
ro
If you are using <code>PiKVM OS V3 Pre-Assembled</code>, the OLED configuration is already pre-installed, you can ignore this step.
===Enable pikvm hdmi audio===
Refer to [[Enable pikvm hdmi audio]]

<summary>Why the device does not show the video only display <b><span class="tb_red">No Signals</span></b>?</summary>
<ul><li>Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly. For the CSI bridge, this should be exactly the camera port;</li>
<li>Some laptops do not output any signal until you switch the output (usually via the FN + and an F5 key on the keyboard).</li>
<li>Your computer maybe enter sleep mode, please exit sleep mode</li>
<li>If your desktop only has a VGA display port, there may be no video signal when you use <b>VGA to HDMI adapter</b>, and there is no way to solve this; However, you can try to lower the resolution and restart the PC to test, but the probability of success is very low.</li>

3. Make sure CM4 is tightly connected with X650. (This is very important,
and this error often occurs)

<summary>Does the X650 support PoE power? How to enable PoE Power?</summary>
<p>
A: The X650 reserve the POE port, but need to use with customized POE
module to support PoE power, and the customized POE module still not
release now. And the X650 does not support the Raspberry Pi official PoE
module. Recommend to use PiKVM-A8 kit, if you need PoE power.
