Upload image to EMMC over Micro USB (CM1, CM3 non-Lite)

  1. Disconnect all equipment from the StereoPi, except Compute Module. Power cable should be disconnected too.
  2. Find 2 pins, marked "A" on this picture. Actually there are 2 pins, but you can see 3 on the picture (I'll update this Wiki image in the nearest time). You need to put a jumper on them. If you have no jumper, you may use additional power cable from the StereoPi kit. Put white connector on this pair of pins, and connect wires with each other.
  3. Take USB to micro USB cable. Connect USB to your computer, and micro USB to the StereoPi. StereoPi will light up LEDs, regardless of power switch position. Please note: while jumper is connected, StereoPi will not boot. It is Ok for this mode.
  4. Under Windows, run rpiboot.exe After that you will see new disk appears in file manager. That is your eMMC. Now you can write Linux image the same way, as yo do it with the micro SD card. If you're curious what is a rpiboot.exe - please look at the official Raspberry Pi eMMC upload manual here.
  5. Now you can remove jumper and disconnect micro USB cable. You can connect your equipment and boot up StereoPi.

Please remember, that while micro USB powering StereoPi disconnects LAN and USB ports. Please use power cable for powering.

Additional notices.

  1. If you will upload our latest S.L.P. image (which takes just 2 Gb of eMMC), then during 1st boot system will format all other eMMC space (~30 Gb if you use 32Gb eMMC CM3) to Fat32, and will use this space for image and video recording.
  2. To download recorded files you can use administration panel with the file manager. Also you can connect your eMMC to the computer the way you used for firmware upload. Also you may use USB flash dongle as alternative storage for the StereoPi.

GPIO pinout notice

To save Pi hats compatibility (electrical and physical) we kept original Raspberry Pi GPIOs, but rotated them 180 degree.
