**46. How to connect four USB cameras to BPC-iMX8MP-05**
169+
You can enable four cameras to operate simultaneously with the following configuration:
170+
1. Connect the camera with the highest bandwidth requirement (such as a 4K camera) to a dedicated OTG interface (e.g., Bus 01) to avoid bandwidth contention.
171+
2. Connect the remaining three cameras (such as 2K or 1080p cameras) to the same bus (e.g., Bus 03) and set their input format to MJPEG.
172+
3. Use the following commands to repeatedly test and adjust the camera parameters to achieve the best display performance with all four cameras:
173+
*(You can also adjust the frame rate using the `-framerate` option.)*
174+
```
175+
sudo apt install ffmpeg
176+
ffplay -f v4l2 -input_format mjpeg -video_size 1920x1080 -i /dev/video?
177+
```

**47. After connecting the device to the ETH-2 Ethernet port, the device suddenly powers off. Only the red LED remains on, and the system cannot boot normally. What could be the possible cause?**
180+
This issue is usually related to Power over Ethernet (PoE) or the use of a non-standard Ethernet cable.
181+
Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot:
182+
1. Check the Ethernet cable type:
183+
Ensure that a standard Ethernet cable (e.g., a straight-through cable) is used. Avoid homemade cables or cables with non-standard pin assignments.
184+
2. Verify the peer device:
185+
Check whether the other end of the Ethernet cable is connected to a regular switch or a PoE-enabled switch. If it is connected to a PoE switch, the PoE voltage may be injected through the Ethernet cable, which can cause a short circuit or trigger protective power shutdown of the device.
186+
187+
> Recommendation:
188+
> Before connecting the Ethernet port, always confirm that the peer device is a non-PoE switch and that a standard Ethernet cable is used to prevent similar issues.

**48. Why is the electret microphone not recognized on DEBIX Model A? Do I need to use an amplifier?**
191+
No, an amplifier is not required. The onboard 3.5mm audio jack on DEBIX Model A/B is designed as a headset (headphone + microphone) port. For microphone functionality, it only supports 4-pole (TRRS) headset plugs. The board natively supports electret microphones.
192+
the typical microphone pinout used for PC audio differs from the 4-pole headset standard. To use your electret mic, you must connect it according to the DEBIX pinout as follows:
193+
- **Tip:** Left Audio Channel
194+
- **Ring 1:** Right Audio Channel
195+
- **Ring 2:** Ground (GND) — Connect the microphone's ground wire here.
196+
- **Sleeve:** Microphone (MIC) — Connect the microphone's signal wire here.

**49. What is the simplest way to use two 1920x1080 HDMI displays with DEBIX Model A?**
202+
The DEBIX Model A has only one HDMI port, so achieving a dual 1920x1080 HDMI setup requires external hardware. The simplest method depends on your specific needs:
203+
1. For Two Mirrored Displays (Same Content):
204+
Solution: This is the simplest method for identical output. Purchase an `external HDMI Splitter` (1-in, 2-out). Connect the board's single HDMI output to the splitter, and then connect both monitors to the splitter's outputs.
205+
2. For Two Independent Displays (Extended Desktop):
206+
Solution: Connect one display directly to the board's HDMI port. For the second display, you need to purchase an additional screen with a different interface supported by the board's expansion connectors, such as `LVDS or MIPI`, and connect it normally.
207+
>Recommended for Dedicated Projects:
208+
If your project permanently requires dual HDMI outputs, the most integrated and reliable solution is to order a custom board designed with two native HDMI output interfaces.

**93. How to use the PWM pins on the DEBIX Model B?**
602+
You can refer to the official document ["GPIO Pin Multiplexing Function List V1.2.xlsx"](https://debix.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/debix-model-b-gpio-pin-multiplexing-function-list-v1.2.xlsx.xlsx), which specifies which pin among the 40-pin header can be used as PWM output.
603+
Steps to configure PWM output:
604+
1. After switching the device tree (dts) file to LVDS output, Pin 36 will be set as the default PWM output.
605+
Use the command: `debix_add_on_board`.
606+
2. Adjust the duty cycle by modifying the file:
607+
/sys/class/backlight/lvds_backlight/brightness.

**95. What should I do if flashing Windows IoT to the Infinity board via USB fails**
617+
If the flashing process is unsuccessful (e.g., the board fails to boot or encounters errors as shown in the reference diagram below), a common cause is an unsuitable USB cable. Please try replacing your current USB-A cable with a shorter USB-A cable or a high-quality shielded USB-A cable.
618+
619+
>A shorter or properly shielded cable provides more stable power delivery and data transmission, which is often critical for reliable device flashing.
