13 Compute Module Configuration Tool for Raspbian

NEC has created a menu based tool for automatically downloading and configuring various components

and settings for Raspbian OS on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. This makes it easy to configure a

new OS install.

Options include:

• Configuring the UART to allow communications with the host display.

• Downloading and installing the NEC Python PD SDK which provides APIs for communicating with

the host display. It will also install the Python Serial module if necessary.

• Downloading and installing an example Python file showing how to use the SDK APIs to

communicate with the host display.

• Downloading and installing a Python file that provides System Shutdown support by monitoring

GPIO 23 - set low by the display to signal a shutdown.

• Downloading and installing a Python file that provides hardware based Watchdog Timer support

and automatic cooling fan control by the host display.

• Downloading and installing NEC branded desktop wallpaper.

• Disabling Video Overscan.

• Setting the HDMI Pixel (video level range) Encoding to 0-255.

• Disabling the Desktop Screen Saver to prevent screen blanking.

• Setting the GPU Memory allocation to 192MB.

• Updating the operating system and firmware.

• Setting the Keyboard layout to "US".

• Enabling the LIRC (IR decoder) support.

• Installing the KODI media player with remote control using the display's IR remote.
