Raspberry Pi board Installation

*1) Remove the four screws at the bottom of the chassis and remove the bottom cover [left|300px](/docs/File:X3000 860p18.jpg)
[left|300px](/docs/File:X3000 860p8.jpg)
MSATA SSD SHOULD BE INSTALLED BEFORE FITTING THE RASPBERRY PI.

*2) Connect the power & IR cable from Raspberry Pi to the 2-pin male pin header *3) Plugs the HDMI daughter board into the 14-pin HDMI female pin header *4) Connect the cable of USB daughter board to the 3-pin PH connector *5) Screwing the Raspberry Pi board [left|300px](/docs/File:X3000 860p9.jpg)

B. POWER ON / OFF

TO TURN ON

*1) HDMI cable and power adapter should be connected before powering on. *2) Touch the power symbol and hold until the colorful breathing light is ON. [left|300px](/docs/File:X3000 336p.jpg)

TO SHUTDOWN

*1) Power off your system using the system menu - IMPORTANT! *2) Touch the power symbol and hold until the colorful breathing light is OFF. *3) It is recommended to unplug the power supply unit when you are not using it.

 	C1. OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - OSMC
 	C2. OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - VOLUMIO
 	C3. OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - RASPBIAN JESSIE

*Based on RASPBIAN JESSIE

Version: March 2016
Release date: 2016-03-18
Kernel version: 4.1
HDMI setting

*<1> To ensure that the necessary kernel modules are loaded at boot pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt

*<2> Uncomment following three lines in config.txt by removing '#' located at start of the line. (check Images below) left|300px

hdmi_force_hotplug=1      pretends that HDMI device is always attached
hdmi_group                            specifies whether monitor is DMT type (Computers) or CEA type (TV)
hdmi_mode                            specifies the resolution of monitor.

*<3> For hdmi_group value selection : If you’re using output as Computer monitor then replace value ’1′ with ’2′, so the new config will be like :

hdmi_group=2

(Select value 1 for TV, Select value 2 for monitor)

*<4> For hdmi_mode value selection : Now open eLinux RPi config scroll down, there in hdmi_mode two tables are given, select the correct resolution as per your monitor. (Table1 if you’re using TV & Table2 if you’re using Monitor)

Since my monitor’s resolution is 1440×900 px, hdmi_mode=47 fits me the best. So, the modified config.txt will be like.

hdmi_mode=47

Overall my uncommented lines will look something like :

*<5> adding the "hdmi_drive=2" line at the bottom [left|300px](/docs/File:Hdmi setting.png)
*<6> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y *<7> Reboot your Raspberry Pi pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo reboot

*<8> Mouse right click the speaker icon and select audio output of HDMI [left|300px](/docs/File:X600 setting 1.png)
*Testing the IR receiver *<9> Installing LIRC pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install lirc

*<10> Add the two lines below to /etc/modules . This will start the modules up on boot. Pin 8 bellow will be used to take the output from the IR sensor. pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/modules

lirc_dev
lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=2

[left|300px](/docs/File:Ir 0 - x3000 (1).png)
*<11> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y *<12> If you are using 3.18.x RaspberryPi firmware you must modify one additional file for the lirc-rpi kernel extension to be loaded: Edit your /boot/config.txt file

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt

and add:

dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=2

[left|300px](/docs/File:Ir 0 - x3000 (2).png)
*<13> Edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and have it appear exactly as shown below. pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

1. /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
1. 1. Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="--uinput"
1. Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
1. START_LIRCMD=false
1. Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
1. START_IREXEC=false
1. Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true
1. Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
1. usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_rpi"
1. Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""

*The highlighted text are the parts that will need changing, though it’s worth checking the rest of the text incase you have a different initial configuration. *<14> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y *<15> Reboot the Raspberry Pi pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo reboot

*<16> Run these two commands to stop lircd and start outputting raw data from the IR receiver: pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

*<17> Point a remote control at your IR receiver and press some buttons. You should see something like this: [left|300px](/docs/File:IR testing.png)
