  6. Connect Peripherals:
    • Attach a mouse, keyboard, and display to start using your Raspberry Pi.

 

UART Login

The Raspberry Pi 5 has a dedicated UART connector for debugging, which supports a maximum baud rate of 921,600bps. You can configure it through EEPROM parameters to access early boot and firmware information, as well as the Linux console post-boot.

UART Connector

The UART connector has three pins. View the UART Connector diagram.

 

RTC (Real-Time Clock)

The Raspberry Pi 5 supports an external RTC that keeps time even when the system is powered off. To power the RTC, you can connect an external backup battery via the J5 (BAT) connector.

More information is available in the official documentation.

 

Hardware Debugging with RTC

  • The default device for RTC is /dev/rtc0.
  • Use commands like date to check the current time on the system.

 

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: View RTC time.
  • sudo hwclock --verbose: Display detailed RTC info.

Auto Wakeup

You can set up your Raspberry Pi 5 to wake from low-power mode using GPIO-based wake-up alerts.

To configure: 

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

To test wakeup function:

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

This setup will wake the system after 10 minutes.

 

RTC Battery Charging

Before enabling RTC battery charging, verify your hardware supports it. Adjust the voltage configuration in /boot/firmware/config.txt:

 
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt # Add this line for battery voltage limit: dtparam=rtc_bbat_vchg=3000000

This setting enables trickle charging if the battery voltage falls below 3V.
