Description

The Waveshare PoE UPS Base Board significantly extends the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, transforming it into a versatile industrial or embedded solution. This base board offers a highly resilient power subsystem, supporting both Power over Ethernet (802.3af) and a wide 7-36V DC input, ensuring reliable operation in diverse environments. Its intelligent dynamic path management allows the system to be powered while simultaneously charging batteries, and seamlessly switches to battery power upon external supply loss without interruption.

Beyond robust power, the board enhances connectivity with a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port, two HDMI 2.0 outputs for dual display setups at up to 4Kp60, and four USB 2.0 Type-A ports for peripherals. An M.2 M-KEY slot facilitates integration of NVMe SSDs for high-speed storage or PCIe-based communication modules. Additional features include MIPI DSI and CSI-2 interfaces, a 40-pin GPIO header, and an RTC with battery backup for accurate timekeeping, making it suitable for a wide array of advanced embedded applications.

The base board also provides practical features for developers, such as a microSD card socket for CM4 Lite variants, adjustable 5V/12V fan control, and status LEDs for M.2 and CM4 activity. Specific jumper caps and configuration options are available for enabling PoE, setting fan voltage, and configuring the CM4 boot mode, offering granular control over the system’s operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What power input options does the Waveshare PoE UPS Base Board support?

The board supports a wide 7-36V DC input via screw terminals and Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant with 802.3af standard. It also features dynamic power path management, allowing simultaneous system operation and battery charging for uninterrupted performance.

Can I use an NVMe SSD with this base board?

Yes, the Waveshare PoE UPS Base Board includes an M.2 M-KEY slot. This slot is designed for connecting NVMe SSDs, providing high-speed storage capabilities, or for integrating other communication modules that utilize the PCIe M.2 M-KEY interface.

Does the board provide real-time clock (RTC) functionality?

Yes, the board features an onboard Real-Time Clock (RTC) with a dedicated battery socket. This allows the Compute Module 4 to keep accurate time even when unpowered, and it also supports waking up the CM4, which is crucial for scheduled tasks or low-power applications.

What are the video output capabilities of this CM4 base board?

This base board offers robust video output capabilities, including two HDMI 2.0 ports that can support resolutions up to 4K 30fps. Additionally, it provides a MIPI DSI display port via a 22-pin FPC connector, allowing for a diverse range of display configurations.

How does the UPS function manage power with external input and batteries?

The UPS function ensures system stability. When external power is present, the system runs while the batteries charge. If external power is insufficient, batteries supplement. If external power disconnects, it seamlessly switches to battery power. When batteries are full, they disconnect to prevent overcharging damage.
