Pi CM4 Lite with Micro SD
When using a Pi CM4 Lite without EMMC, a micro SD must be used for the OS. Follow the normal steps for flashing a micro SD using the Raspberry Pi Imager.
If using Ubuntu:
wget -O pi_imager.deb https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/imager/imager_latest_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i pi_imager.deb && rm pi_imager.debApply OS customization to configure WiFi and enable SSH:
Set the default hostname:
raspberrypiSet the Wifi: It is recommended to add a Dummy Wifi to turn on the Wifi radio, it does not have to be a reachable/ functioning network. Otherwise it can be turned on using the following command once you have ssh-d to the Pi using the debug port. This command is automatically applied once you install ARK OS, to clone ARK OS you either need Wifi or Ethernet connected to the board.
sudo nmcli radio wifi onSet the default username (pi) and password (raspberry)
Enable SSH


After flashing the SD card is complete, you will need to modify the /boot/config.txt file on the SD card before installing it into the Pi. See After Flashing, Before Installing.
