Quick Setup
- Connect HDMI monitor to the IOT-GATE-RPI5 display output using an HDMI cable. Connect USB mouse and keyboard devices to the IOT-GATE-RPI5 USB connectors.
- NOTE: Raspberry Pi O/S first boot setup requires display and keyboard. It cannot be completed via serial console.
- NOTE: IOT-GATE-RPI5 features mini-HDMI type-C connectors. To connect a standard HDMI type-A cable, use the Compulab IOTG2-ACC-HDMIC2A (or equivalent) adapter.
- Connect power to IOT-GATE-RPI5 using one of the following options:
- Use the Compulab IOTG2-ACC-PSUTB3 PSU. Insert the PSU plug into the IOT-GATE-RPI5 DC input terminal block.
- Use any 12V–24V DC power supply. Use the IOT-GATE-RPI5 DC terminal block plug to connect the power supply wires and ensure correct polarity.
- Once power is connected, IOT-GATE-RPI5 will turn on and boot into the O/S.
- The ON LED indicates IOT-GATE-RPI5 system status:
- Blinking blue — the operating system is running correctly.
- Solid amber — unit is in boo-loader stage. O/S is not running.
