# After Flashing, Before Installing

Edit **/boot/firmware/config.txt**

Comment out the following lines

```
# Automatically load overlays for detected cameras
# camera_auto_detect=1

# Automatically load overlays for detected DSI displays
# display_auto_detect=1
```

Add the following

```
# ---- Board power/enable lines (ARK PiCM5 Carrier) ----
# Enable KSZ8794 Ethernet switch 1.2V rail
gpio=27=op,dh
# Release Ethernet switch from reset
gpio=20=op,dh
# Enable 3.3V camera rail feeding both CSI connectors
gpio=22=op,dh

# CAM0 = J2 on MIPI0 (I2C0), CAM1 = J1 on MIPI1 (ID_SD/ID_SC). Swap imx219 for your sensor.
dtoverlay=imx219,cam0
dtoverlay=imx219,cam1

# ---- UARTs ----
enable_uart=1                 # UART0 debug console, J6 (GPIO14/15)
dtoverlay=uart2,ctsrts        # UART2/SPI3, flow control (GPIO4-7)
dtoverlay=uart3,ctsrts        # UART3/SPI4, flow control (GPIO8-11)
dtoverlay=uart4               # UART4, TX/RX only (GPIO12/13) doesn't work on cm5 needs rc.local on boot

# PCIe FFC — off by default on CM5
dtparam=pciex1
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3          # only if your endpoint is Gen3-clean

# USB2 host port VBUS — needed to power downstream devices
gpio=24=op,dh

# Enable the Fan
dtparam=cooling_fan=on
dtparam=fan_temp0=40000        # 40.0 °C, was 50000
dtparam=fan_temp0_speed=120    # 0-255, was 75
dtparam=fan_temp1=50000
dtparam=fan_temp2=60000

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.arkelectron.com/products/embedded-computers/ark-just-a-pi/flashing-guide/after-flashing-before-installing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
