Make a Raspberry Pi OS microSD for CM-Panel POE (Old CM3+ version)

This article explains how to create a standard Raspbian Pi OS MicroSD to use on the CM-Panel POE starting from an official Raspberry Pi MicroSD image

Step-by-step guide

Download the image of standard Raspberry OS Version 2020-12-02 from these links:

Flash a microSD SD using Balena Etcher software.

https://www.balena.io/etcher/

Mount the microSD just created on your PC (Linux or Windows) or your Mac. The first microSD partition labeled "boot" is formatted as FAT32 and visible on any system. These files are to edit using an ASCII editor:

Edit cmdline.txt

Change:

console=serial0,115200

in:

console=serial1,115200

Edit config.txt

Change the content of config.txt file in:

# For more options and information see
# http://rpf.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1

# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
