5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Softwarekonfiguration

For detailed software setup and configuration, refer to the official Geekworm Wiki for the X630 module. This resource provides comprehensive guides for various operating systems and applications.

Vigtige bemærkninger:

• If using GStreamer or KVM, ensure you are in Hardware reset mode. The X630 will not be detected and will not provide video otherwise.
• The software reset mode currently only supports RASPISTILL or RASPIVID.
• If GStreamer is installed in Raspberry Pi OS, RASPISTILL & RASPIVID may no longer function.
• The X630 V1.5 version has removed the software & hardware reset DIP switch for simplified operation.

5.2 Typical Usage Scenario

The X630 module allows you to connect an HDMI output device (e.g., a camera, laptop, or other display source) to your Raspberry Pi via the CSI-2 interface. This enables the Raspberry Pi to capture the HDMI video stream for processing, display, or streaming.

Image: An illustration of the typical connection setup. An HDMI source connects to the X630 module, which then interfaces with the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi can then output the processed video to an LCD, camera, or other HDMI-compatible devices.

6. Fejlfinding

• Module Not Detected / No Video: If using GStreamer or KVM, ensure you are in Hardware reset mode. The X630 V1.5 has removed the physical DIP switch, so this setting must be managed via software or system configuration as per the Geekworm Wiki.
• RASPISTILL/RASPIVID Issues: If these tools are not working, check if GStreamer is installed on your Raspberry Pi OS, as it can interfere with their functionality.
• Ingen lyd: The X630 module itself does not process audio. For HDMI audio capture, the X1300-A2 audio auxiliary board is required.
• Compatibility Issues with HDMI Devices: Some HDMI devices may not work due to HDCP or specific signal characteristics. Refer to community forums or the Geekworm Wiki for known compatibility issues and potential workarounds.
• Physical Connection Check: Ensure all FPC cables are correctly seated and oriented in their respective connectors on both the Raspberry Pi and the X630 module. Loose connections are a common cause of issues.
