Yesterday I received a new [Seeed Studio EdgeBox RPI 200](https://www.seeedstudio.com/EdgeBox-RPi-200-CM4104016-p-5486.html) that looks perfect to build an industrial IoT edge gateway connecting Modbus Serial sensors using RS485 and RS232 and more.

To start playing with it, I decided to use the [N3uron application](https://hub.balena.io/apps/2028505/n3uron) to read the data of the RS485 in the edge.

First of all, I clicked Deploy on balenaHub for the N3uron app and clicked `Add a new device`. In my case I downloaded the balenaOS image on my laptop.

As it brings a CM4 with eMMC, i just opened it with a screwdriver to get the Raspberry Pi CM4 to flash balenaOS as the main operating system of the SeeedStudio EdgeBox RPI200.

To flash the Raspberry Pi CM4 you can use a CM4 IO board such as the official [Raspberry Pi CM4 IO board](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-4-io-board/), the [Waveshare CM4 IO board](https://www.waveshare.com/cm4-io-base-b.htm) that i used or the inexpensive [Nebra CM4 IO board](https://www.nebra.com/products/nebra-raspberry-pi-cm4-flash-stick).

Just flashed balenaOS using balenaEtcher.

Next step will be to power up the device following the instructions from the [User Manual](https://files.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Edge_Box/EdgeBox-RPi-200_Edge_Computing_Controller_User_Manual.pdf) and check if the device works well with the balenaOS CM4 device type OS version.

Stay tunned!
