How to Use:

Preparation: Get an SD card and card reader.
Download OS: Download Raspberry Pi OS from the official site.
Format SD Card: Use SDFormatter to clean the card.
Burn OS Image: Use Win32DiskImager to write the OS to the SD card.
Boot Device: Insert the SD card into the Pi, plug in 5V/5A Type-C power, and boot.
Connect Peripherals: Attach keyboard, mouse, and display.

UART Login:

The Raspberry Pi 5 includes a dedicated UART connector with support up to 921,600bps. It's useful for early boot diagnostics and post-boot Linux console access. Configure via EEPROM to enable UART debugging.

UART Debug Connector

RTC (Real-Time Clock):

The board supports external RTC functionality with battery backup. Connect via the J5 (BAT) header.

Useful Commands:

sudo hwclock -w – Sync system clock to RTC
sudo hwclock -s – Sync RTC to system clock
sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2023 16:45:05" – Set RTC manually
sudo hwclock -r – Read RTC time
sudo hwclock --verbose – Detailed RTC info

Auto Wakeup Configuration:

sudo -E rpi-eeprom-config --edit
# Add:
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1
WAKE_ON_GPIO=0

To test wake-up timer (10 mins):

echo +600 | sudo tee /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
sudo halt

RTC Battery Charging Setup:

Enable trickle charging (if supported) by editing config:

sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
# Add:
dtparam=rtc_bbat_vchg=3000000
