System Overview
Introduction
The UPS PIco is an advanced uninterruptible power supply for the Raspberry Pi® that adds a wealth of innovative power back-up functionality and development features to the innovative microcomputer!
The standard UPS PIco is equipped with a 300mAh LiPO battery specially designed to enable safe shutdown during a power cut. Additionally, this can be easily upgraded to the extended 3000mAh version, which enables prolonged use of a Raspberry Pi for up to 8 hours without a power supply connected!
The UPS PIco features an embedded measurement system that continuously checks the powering voltage of the Raspberry Pi®. When the cable power on the Raspberry
Pi® is absent, insufficient, or the device detects a power failure, the UPS PIco automatically switches to the unit’s battery source. The module then continues to check the voltage on the Pi and switches automatically back to the regular cable supply when power becomes once again available.
The UPS PIco is powered and the battery pack intelligently charged via the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi®, so no additional cabling or power supply is required.
The UPS PIco is designed to be 100% compliant with HAT standards
for the Raspberry
Pi® B+ and A+, and is mechanically compatible with the original Raspberry Pi® models A and B when an extension header is used. In addition to this, because the
UPS PIco requires no external powering and fits within the footprint of the
Raspberry Pi®, it is compatible with most cases.
The UPS PIco can also be equipped with an optional Infra-Red Receiver which is routed directly to GPIO18 via the PCB. This opens the door for remote operation of the Raspberry Pi®and UPS PIco!
Finally, the UPS PIco features an implemented Automatic Temperature Control
PWM fan controller, and can be equipped with a micro fan kit, which enables the
use of the Raspberry Pi® in extreme conditions including very high temperature environments.

General Information
The UPS PIco Module uses the 5 VDC and GND pins for powering, and interacts with the Raspberry Pi® through GPIO_GEN22 and GPIO_GEN27. Simple Python script must be running on the Raspberry Pi® that interacts with the UPS PIco Module. The
GPIO_GEN22 is used to force the File Safe Shutdown (FFSD) procedure when the
UPS PIco Module make it low, and read by the Raspberry Pi®. The GPIO_GEN27 is
used by the same Python script and generate a pulse train that is recognized by the
UPS PIco Module and interpreted if the Raspberry Pi® is running or not. This approach allows simplifying the design, and cutting the needs to have current measure system on the UPS PIco Module. If the Raspberry Pi® is running (so the pulse train is generated) user can see that the UPS LED on the UPS PIco Module is flashing (fast if cable powered, and slow if battery powered). If the UPS LED is not flashing, it means that the Raspberry Pi® is not running (the Python script is not running). Therefore it is mandatory for a proper use of the UPS PIco Module to have the Python script installed. Due to this implemented feature, the UPS LED flashing functionality, user can by a single view have a knowledge if the Raspberry Pi® is running or not (Hang-up, or Shutdown).
It is important to notice that for the proper UPS PIco Module operation it is mandatory to have connected GPIO_GEN27 to the
UPS PIco Module trough the FSSDU Jumper, as also installed the picofssd.py script. The GPIO_GEN27 is generating pulse train, that is interpreted by the UPS PIco Module and allows it to recognize different states of Raspberry Pi® powering conditions.
Mounting UPS PIco on Raspberry Pi®
In order to set up the UPS PIco Module some simple hand work is needed. Please follows the below steps before you start working with it.
1. If needed solder one or both of 3-pins connectors to the I/O
2. Check if all green jumpers are on their places,
3. Remove and save the yelow jumper for future HAT EEPROM programming, this procedure will be provided on www.pimodules.com
4. Put the UPS PIco Module on the top of the Raspberry Pi® without connected
LiPO battery and cable power to the Raspberry Pi®
5. Connect the LiPO battery to the UPS PIco Module
6. Enter cable powering to the Raspberry Pi®

7. Press the UPSR button in order to set the start up conditions
8. If needed make factory defaults (described later on the following chapters)
9. Wait until the Raspberry Pi® boot up, and then verify the Green UPS LED blinking every 500 ms
It is important to be sure that when plugging the UPS PIco Module to the Raspberry
Pi® the is not cable power connected to it as also LiPO battery connected to the
UPS PIco Module.
UPS PIco Jumpers
For the Basic operation, UPS PIco Module uses only the 5 VDC and GND pins and interacts with the Raspberry Pi® through GPIO_GEN22 and GPIO_GEN27. Some specialized features require in addition RS232 and I
2
C. In addition if the 1-wire device and IR Receiver are used, there are directly routed to GPIO_GEN04 and GPIO_GEN18 pins respectively. However these pins if not used with above features (the 1-wire not connected and IR Receiver not soldered) can be freely used as a standard GPIO pins.
The RS232, GPIO_GEN22, GPIO_GEN27 and HAT EEPROM are going to the UPS PIco
Module trough Jumpers set. Therefore, if user not needs some of them can remove the jumpers and free that pins for other applications.

UPS PIco I/Os
The UPS PIco Module is equipped with 4 I/Os, there are:
1-wire interface
10 bits A/D converter 1 (0 - 5.2V)
10 bits A/D converter 2 (0 - 5.2V)
IR Receiver
The 1-wire interface is supported with supply of 3.3V (which is independent from the
Raspberry Pi® powering) and GND on the same connector. It simplifies the connection making when the 1-wire is used. In addition the 1-wire interface is ESD protected. Is is directly routed to the GPIO_GEN04. If the 1-wire sensor is not used the GPIO can be used for any other application on the J8 pins. It contains just the required 4K7 resistor connected to the 3.3V.
The UPS PIco Module supports also pre-calibrated 2 x 10 bits A/D converters. Their readings can be easy accessed easy via PICo (I
2
C) interface or @commands (RS232).
Read values are in mV. Those inputs are also ESD protected.
The IR Receiver if assembled (soldered on the PCB) is directly routed to the
GPIO_GEN18. A very good tutorial how to use it can be found on below link: https://www.modmypi.com/blog/raspberry-pis-remotes-ir-receivers
User does not need to add any other component in order to use the IR Receiver. If the IR Receiver is not used (not soldered to the PCB) the GPIO_GEN18 can be used for any other application.
UPS PIco Advanced User Appications
The UPS PIco Module uses the 5 VDC and GND pins for powering, and interacts with the Raspberry Pi® through GPIO_GEN22 and GPIO_GEN27. Simple Python script is mandatory to be running on the Raspberry Pi® that interacts with the UPS PIco
Module. After installing of that Python script there is no real need for any additional tasks to use the UPS PIco Modules.
However, there is a group of users that have more advanced needs. In order to cover them 2 different interfaces have been implemented:
The Peripherals I
2
C Control (PICo) Interface, based on the I
2
C, and
The Terminal Commands Control (TCC) Interface, based on the RS232

C co ntrol Interface Firmware Code 0x25 Print Date: 20.05.2015
Both of them are independent and can be used sepratelly. In order to use both of them, a some additional installion works is needed.
In order to use I
2
C and RTC (that is communicating with OS via I
2
C), a simple I
2
C set up is needed.
Setting-up the I2C interface and RTC
The I
2
C Ports on the Raspberry Pi® are not enabled by default. Follow these steps to enable the I
2
C ports and the RTC communicate with RaspberryPi® trough I
2
C.
First of all, the config file must be edited that by default disables the I
2
C port. This setting is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf.
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf
Once this file is open, find the line blacklist i2c-bcm2708 and comment it out by adding a hash character (#) in front of it as shown here below, then save and close the file.
#blacklist i2c-bcm2708
Now edit /etc/modules:
sudo nano /etc/modules
and add the following lines, then save and close the file.
i2c-bcm2708 i2c-dev rtc-ds1307
Reboot the system:
sudo reboot
Install I
2
C tools by running the following command (assuming that you're connected to
Internet)
sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
Now look for ID #68 with i2cdetect. Depending on the model of your Raspberry Pi, this must be done in two different ways:
On a 256MB Raspberry Pi Model A+:
sudo i2cdetect –y 0
On a 512MB Raspberry Pi Model B+:
sudo i2cdetect –y 1

Then, running as root, do the following (also depending on the model)
On a 256MB Raspberry Pi Model A+:
sudo bash echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/new_device exit
On a 512MB Raspberry Pi Model B+:
sudo bash echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device exit
The result should look like:

sudo hwclock -r
Then write the current system time to the clock:
sudo hwclock -w
Finally edit the /etc/rc.local file:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
and just before the line that reads
exit 0
, add the following two lines, then save and close the file:
On a 256MB Raspberry Pi Model A+:

2
C Control Interface
The Peripherals I
2
C Control – The PICo Interface – is an implementation of I
2
C
interface adapted to easy control of the peripheral connected to the Raspberry Pi® via command line. By using human understandable simple commands, control of peripherals is made extremely simple. Control at programming language level is also possible and easy. The core concept of the PICo interface is that all peripheral device control and data exchange between it and Raspberry Pi® variables are common for the I
2
C interface as also for the peripheral itself. Therefore any change of them by
either party, Raspberry Pi® and the peripheral, causes immediate update and action.
Two types of variables are available:
Common, where data are stored in the same place and any change on it will
cause action on the UPS PIco Module
Mirror, where are copy of data stored on internal variables of the UPS PIco
Module, they are protected, so changes on it will not implies the UPS PIco
Module functionality and will be overwritten immediately when UPS PIco
Module recognized changes on them
There have been implemented 3 PICo addresses assigned to the following entities:

System is running normally when cable power connected and when cable power removed, system will stops (cut the battery power without FSSD) after specified time out (60 seconds). During this time the Raspberry Pi will shut down by itself forced by the Pulse-Eight CEC driver. Reconnecting the power (switch ON TV) starts again the
Raspberry Pi. The XBMC functionality is also useful for any other application when user would like to have a full control of system shutdown without assigning any GPIO for that. On such applications
(non XBMC) user will need to monitor the I2C
Powering Mode Variable and when switch to battery shutdown within required time (60 seconds). Not needed for XBMC.
During this mode all other triggers for the FSSD are not working. There are:
Still Alive Timer
FSSD when button
Low Battery FSSD
Timed FSSD UPS when in battery mode
When power is cut from the Raspberry Pi, the UPS
PIco is entering the LPR mode, and recover is done only when cable power is back. The RTC is running during that LPR mode. This functionality implements a perfect media player, when the
Raspberry Pi is powered from a USB from the TV.
Then when TV is OFF, the Pulse-Eight CEC driver safety shutdown the Raspberry Pi, and after that the UPS PIco cut the power. When TV is switched
ON again, the media player starts again.
Combining this mode with IR mounted give to the user a full remote controlled Media Player

Setting Up the RaspberryPi® Serial Port for other applications
By default Raspberry Pi®’s serial port is configured to be used for console input/output.
While this is useful if you want to log in using the serial port, it means that you can't use the
Serial Port in your programs. To be able to use the serial port to connect and talk to other devices, the serial port console logins need to be disabled.
Needless to say, if you do this then you need some other way to log in to the Raspberry Pi®; we suggest using an SSH connection over the network.
Disable Serial Port Login
To disable logins on the serial port, there are two files that need to be edited. The first and main one is /etc/inittab. You can edit it by issuing this command
1
:
sudo nano /etc/inittab
1 throughout this manual we will assume that text files are edited with nano and that the user knows how to save the file, after editing. However, instead of nano the user is free to use any other text editor that he or she feels comfortable with.

This file contains the command that enables the login prompt, that needs to be disabled.
Move to the end of the file: you will see a line similar to:
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100
Disable it by adding a # character to the beginning, as shown here below, then save the file.
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100
Disable Boot-up Info
When the Raspberry Pi® boots up, all the boot log information is sent to the serial port.
Disabling this boot log information is optional and you may want to leave this enabled as it is sometimes useful to see what happens at boot and if you have a device connected (i.e.
Arduino) at boot, you might want it to receive this information over the serial port, so it is up to you to decide whether to keep this boot logging enabled or disable it.
If you decide to disable it, you can do it by editing the file /boot/cmdline.txt:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
The content of the file looks like this
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait
Remove all references to ttyAMA0 (which is the name of the serial port), then save the file and close it. The file will now look like this:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait
Reboot
In order to enable the changes you have made, you will need to reboot the Raspberry Pi:
sudo shutdown -r now
Test the Serial Port
A great way to test out the serial port is to use the minicom program. If you don’t have this one installed and you are connected to Internet, then you can install it by running
sudo apt-get install minicom
Run up minicom on the Raspberry Pi® using

minicom -b 38400 -o -D /dev/ttyAMA0
Make sure that the jumpers required for serial connection (RXD0 and TXD0) are installed and that no other boards using the serial port are placed on the top of the UPS PIco.
Figure 11 UPS PIco Jumpers
By pressing the UPSR (the UPS Reset Button) you should see on the minicom screen the UPS
PIco welcome message after reset. This will ensure you that the UPS PIco is cooperating properly with your Raspberry Pi ®.
Figure 12 Minicom screenshot while the UPS PIco restarts
Be careful when pressing the UPSR (the UPS Reset Button) to avoid pressing also the RPIR
(the Raspberry Pi® Reset Button), because that other button would force a reset of the
Raspberry Pi® and cause the immediate cutting of communication between the UPS PIco and the Raspberry Pi®.
NOTE1: Resetting of the UPS PIco does not reset the Raspberry Pi®.
NOTE2: Resetting of the UPS PIco does reset the simulated RTC to default values.
NOTE3: Resetting of the Raspberry Pi® does not reset the UPS PIco, therefore the RTC keeps working and the time information is not lost.

UPS PIco Terminal Commands Control (@commands RS232 interface)
The UPS PIco Module uses the 5 VDC and GND pins for powering, and interacts with the Raspberry Pi® through GPIO_GEN22 and GPIO_GEN27. Simple Python script must be running on the Raspberry Pi® that interacts with the UPS PIco Module. After installing of that Python script there is no need for any additional tasks to use the
UPS PIco Modules. However, there is a group of users that have more advanced needs. The Terminal Commands Control was specifically addressed for them and is an alternative way for advanced controll of the UPS PIco Module other than PICo
(I
2
C) Interface.
There are plenty of commands for full system control. Thanks to the implemented bootloader, the set of commands can be constantly enhanced with new ones, as we release more of them. We are open to customer suggestions about new commands to implement. Customers can propose new commands by e-mail or on our forum: if we find them generally useful, then we will implement them for free and distribute them via our bootloader system. Customized versions of the firmware featuring customer-specific commands are also possible.
