CM4 IOT Carrier

Hi

 

I'm trying to get the second network socket running on a PI CM4 using the DF Robot IOT carrier board.

I'm running Ubuntu Server 20.05 (which I need for compatibility to some other bits).

 

I've installed the r8168-dkms

 

But I'm still unable to see devices on the PCIe.

 

Any help would be gratefully received.

On the DFRobot IoT Carrier Board, the PCIe socket has a dedicated power-enable signal (PERST#) that must be pulled high.

Most boards handle this automatically, but check:

Jumper JP3 must be in PCIe position

If your board has a 5V or 3.3V PCIe power jumper, ensure it is not set to OFF

Check the DFRobot documentation for "PCIe power enable"

If this is wrong, the NIC will never enumerate.
