* The Smart4418 CPU board is a quad core Cortex A9 CPU board designed and developed by FriendlyARM for industrial applications. As a successor of the Smart210 CPU board it uses the Samsung Quad Core Cortex-A9 S5P4418 SoC with dynamic frequency scaling up to 1.4GHz. The standard Smart4418 CPU board has 1GB DDR3 RAM and 8GB eMMC. It has the AXP229 PMU enabling software power off/on and wake-up functions. In addition its Gbps Ethernet and audio jack make it suitable for various industrial applications.
 +
* The Smart4418 CPU board has 2.0mm pitch double row pin headers(P1, P2 and P4) containing 174 pins in total. These pins contain most popular interface pins. By default we have P1 and P2 soldered on the board and leave P4 for users' applications. It works with various FriendlyARM LCDs e.g. 3.5"LCD, 4.3"LCD, 5"LCD, 7"LCD and 10.1"LCD.
 +

==Notes in Hardware Design==
 +
===EEPROM===
 +
* The Smart4418 CPU board has an EEPROM(model: 24AA025E48T-I/OT) with a unique MAC. This EEPROM is connected to I2C0 and its address is 0x51 therefore some EEPROM chips cannot be connected to I2C0 which will cause conflicts of addresses.
 +
* In our tests these EEPROM chips cannot be connected to I2C0: 24C04, 24C08 and 24C16. There chips which we tested can be connected to I2C0: 24C01, 24C02 and 24C256

By default the SD card's configuration file "images\FriendlyARM.ini" specifies Android to be flashed to eMMC. If you want to install Debian please make the following change:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
OS = Debian
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
"#" is a comment
+
 
+
* Flash Image to Smart4418's eMMC
+
 
+
Please insert this card to your Smart4418, connect the board to an HDMI or LCD, switch S2 to "SDBOOT" and power on (with a 5V/2A power source) to board to start installation. You can watch the whole installation process from the HDMI or LCD. If the following messages popped up it means the installation succeeds.
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+

+
|-
+
|LED1 and LED2 blink simultaneously || Installation fails
+
|-
+
|}
+
 
+
====Make Installation Card under Linux Desktop====
+
* 1) Insert your SD card to your host running Ubuntu and check your SD card's device name
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
dmesg | tail
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
Search the messages output by "dmesg" for similar words like "sdc: sdc1 sdc2". If you can find them it means your SD card is recognized as "/dev/sdc". Or you can check that by commanding "cat /proc/partitions"
+
 
+
* 2) Downlaod Linux script
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_nanopi2.git
+
cd sd-fuse_nanopi2
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
* 3) Make Android SD Card
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
su
+
./fusing.sh /dev/sdx
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)<br/>
+
When you run the script for the first time it will prompt you to download an image you have to hit “Y” within 10 seconds otherwise you will miss the download
+
 
+
* 4) Here is how to make a Debian SD card
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
./fusing.sh /dev/sdx debian
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
====关于LCD/HDMI分辨率====
+
系统启动时uboot会自动识别LCD,成功则会设置为该LCD的显示分辨率,失败则缺省会设置为HDMI 720P模式。<br />
+
如果要修改LCD的显示分辨率,可以直接修改内核中的文件 arch/arm/plat-s5p4418/nanopi2/lcds.c , 然后重新编译内核并更新即可。<br />
+
对于HDMI的显示模式,Android则是会通过EDID获得HDMI设备如电视机所支持的显示模式,然后自动选择一个合适的分辨率。如果使用的是Debian,则缺省是720P,可通过修改内核配置来切换为1080P。
+
 
+
===在电脑上修改SD卡上的系统===
+
如果你想在运行系统之前,先对系统做一些修改,可以参看本节内容,否则可以跳过本节。<br />
+
将制作好SD卡插入一台运行Linux的电脑,可以挂载SD卡上的boot和rootfs等分区,对分区内容进行修改,通过在以下情况下你需要进行这些操作:<br />
+
1) 你想更改Kernel Command Line参数,则可以通过sd-fuse_nanopi2/tools目录下的fw_setenv工具来操作。<br />
+
查看当前的Command Line:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cd sd-fuse_nanopi2/tools
+
./fw_printenv /dev/sdc | grep bootargs
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
目前的Android 5.1.1_r6启用了SELinux,缺省模式是enforcing,你可以通过Command Line来修改它,例如:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
./fw_setenv /dev/sdc bootargs XXX androidboot.selinux=permissive
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
即可修改为permissive模式,其中上面的XXX需要替换成原来的bootargs值。<br />
+
 
+
2) 更新内核 <br />
+
新版本的uboot在启动时如果识别到LCD,将读取SD卡boot分区的uImage,否则将读取uImage.hdmi。<br />
+
对于Android来说是同一个文件,因此直接使用新编译的uImage来替换SD卡boot分区下的文件即可。<br />
+
对于Debian来说,这2个文件是不相同的,使用新编译的支持LCD的uImage直接替换SD卡boot分区的文件,如果是支持HDMI的内核,则替换uImage.hdmi。<br />
+
 
+
===运行Android或Debian===
+
*将制作好SD卡插入Smart4418,连接HDMI,拨动S2开关到“SDBOOT”一侧,最后接电源(5V 2A)拨动开关,Smart4418会从SD卡启动。你可以看到板上PWR灯常亮,LED1灯闪烁,这说明系统已经开始启动了,同时电视上也将能看到系统启动的画面。<br />
+
1)要在电视上进行操作,你需要连接USB鼠标和键盘;如果你选购了LCD配件,则可以直接使用LCD上面的触摸屏进行操作。<br />
+
2)如果您需要进行内核开发,你最好选购一个串口配件,连接了串口,则可以通过终端对Smart4418进行操作。<br />
+
*以下是串口的接法。接上串口,即可调试:
+
[[File:PSU-ONECOM03.png|frameless|400px|PSU-ONECOM03]]
+
*如果提示输入密码,Debian的root用户的默认密码是两个字母fa。
+
 
+
===通过VNC和ssh登录Debian===
+
如果你是祼板运行系统(既没有连接LCD也没有连接HDMI),并且烧写了带 -wifiap.img 后辍的固件,你可以使用手机,或者有无线网卡的电脑连接到Smart4418开放的 nanopi2-wifiap 无线热点(默认密码是123456789),连接成功后,无论是手机还是电脑,你可以到[http://www.realvnc.com/download/ 这里]下载并安装一个名为VNC Viewer的软件,用VNC连接到Smart4418,Smart4418在使用VNC时的连接地址和端口为:192.168.8.1:5901,默认密码为:fa123456,以下是在iPhone上用VNC登录Smart4418的画面:<br />
+
[[File:iphone6-vnc-nanopi2.png|frameless|400px|VNC to NanoPi2]]
+
<br />
+
你也可以通过 ssh -l root 192.168.8.1 命令在终端上登录,默认的root用户密码是 fa。<br />
+
<br />
+
为了保证ssh的流畅,我们用以下命令关闭wifi的省电模式:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
iwconfig wlan0 power off
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
==Debian系统的使用==
+
===连接无线网络===
+
;以下针对接了HDMI 或者LCD屏的用户:
+
在Debian的图形界面上,点击右下角的网络图标,程序会自动搜索到附近的WiFi热点,找到你需要连接的热点,点击旁边的Properties按钮,输入WiFi密码后保存退出,再点击Connect按钮即可。<br /><br />
+
;以下内容仅适用于祼板运行的用户,即没有接LCD屏也没有接HDMI(使用 -wifiap.img 后辍的固件): <br />系统默认处于无线热点模式,因此无法搜索和连接到无线路由器,需要先退出无线执点模式才可以,请按照如下步骤操作:
+
第一步:我们先把要连接的无线路由器配置好,方法如下:<br />
+
使用ssh连接NanoPi2,输入以下命令查询一下WiFi的网络接口,wlan开头的就是WiFi:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
ifconfig -a
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
默认情况下是wlan0,你需要在/etc/network/interfaces.d/目录下新建一个与网络接口同名的配置文件 ,以wlan0为例,用vi命令新建以下文件:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
vi /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
wlan0文件的内容如下:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
auto wlan0
+
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
+
wpa-driver nl80211
+
wpa-ssid YourWiFiESSID
+
wpa-ap-scan 1
+
wpa-psk YourWiFiPassword
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
其中,YourWiFiESSID和YourWiFiPassword请替换成你要连接的无线AP名称和密码。<br /><br />
+
如果你的WiFi密码中有特殊字符,或者你不希望明文存放密码,你可以使用wpa_passphrase命令为WiFi密码生成一个密钥(psk),用密钥来代替密码 ,在NanoPi2命令行下,可输入以下命令生成密钥: <br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
wpa_passphrase YourWiFiESSID
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
在提示输入密码时,输入你的WiFi密码,然后就会得到类拟以下的内容,其中psk=后面的一串字符就是WiFi的密钥:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
network={
+
        ssid="YourWiFiESSID"
+
        #psk="YourWiFiPassword"
+
        psk=1b66ca678d6f439f7360686ff5eeb7519cdc44b76a40d96515e4eb807a6d408b
+
}
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
最后,我们将上个步骤中生成的密钥替换掉wlan0文件中的密码,如下所示:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
auto wlan0
+
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
+
wpa-driver nl80211
+
wpa-ssid YourWiFiESSID
+
wpa-ap-scan 1
+
wpa-psk 1b66ca678d6f439f7360686ff5eeb7519cdc44b76a40d96515e4eb807a6d408b
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
最后一步,使用以下命令退出无线热点模式,需要使用root用户操作,turn-wifi-into-apmode在执行后会重启设备,重启后,会根据上面的配置,自动连接WIFI:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
su
+
turn-wifi-into-apmode no
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===配置Wi-Fi无线热点===
+
可以通过以下命令,将Wi-Fi切换至无线热点模式:<br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
turn-wifi-into-apmode yes
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
按提示重启即可,默认的热点名称为 nanopi2-wifiap,密码为123456789。<br />
+
<br />
+
现在,你可以在电脑上搜索并连接nanopi2-wifiap这个无线热点,连接成功后,可以通过ssh到192.168.8.1这个地址来登录NanoPi2:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
ssh root@192.168.8.1
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
在提示输入密码时,输入预设的密码fa,即可登入。<br />
+
<br />
+
为了保证ssh的流畅,我们用以下命令关闭wifi的省电模式:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
iwconfig wlan0 power off
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
WiFi工作模式可通过以下命令查询:<br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cat /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/op_mode
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
输出为数字2则表示当前处于无线热点模式,要切换回普通的Station模式,输入如下命令:<br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
turn-wifi-into-apmode no
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===使用蓝牙传输===
+
点击右下角的蓝牙图标,会弹出一个操作菜单,其中,<br />
+
Make discoverable菜单项是打开NanoPi2蓝牙的可发现属性,这样其他设备(例如手机)就可以搜索到NanoPi2并进行配对了; <br />
+
Devices... 菜单项可以打开搜索界面,主动搜索周边的蓝牙设备(注:需要这个设备先打开可发现属性);<br />
+
Send Files to Device...菜单项则可以通过蓝牙发送文件到已配对的指定设备上。<br />
+
 
+
===安装Debian软件包===
+
我们提供的是标准的Debian jessie系统,你可以使用apt-get等命令来安装软件包,如果板子是首次运行,需要先用以下命令更新软件包列表:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
apt-get update
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
然后就可以安装软件包了,例如要安装ftp服务器,使用以下命令:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
apt-get install vsftpd
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
如果软件包下载速度不理想,你可以编辑 /etc/apt/sources.list 更换一个更快的源服务器,这个网址[http://www.debian.org/mirror/list]有一份完整的源镜像服务器列表,注意要选用一个带armhf架构的。
+
 
+
 
+
==如何编译系统==
+
 
+
===安装交叉编译器===
+
首先下载并解压编译器:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/prebuilts.git
+
sudo mkdir -p /opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain
+
sudo tar xf prebuilts/gcc-x64/arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf-4.9.3.tar.xz -C /opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
然后将编译器的路径加入到PATH中,用vi编辑vi ~/.bashrc,在末尾加入以下内容:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
export PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/bin:$PATH
+
export GCC_COLORS=auto
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
执行一下~/.bashrc脚本让设置立即在当前shell窗口中生效,注意"."后面有个空格:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
. ~/.bashrc
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
这个编译器是64位的,不能在32位的Linux系统上运行,安装完成后,你可以快速的验证是否安装成功:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
arm-linux-gcc -v
+
Using built-in specs.
+
COLLECT_GCC=arm-linux-gcc
+
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/libexec/gcc/arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.3/lto-wrapper
+
Target: arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf
+
Configured with: /work/toolchain/build/src/gcc-4.9.3/configure --build=x86_64-build_pc-linux-gnu
+
--host=x86_64-build_pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3
+
--with-sysroot=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/arm-cortexa9-linux-gnueabihf/sys-root --enable-languages=c,c++
+
--with-arch=armv7-a --with-tune=cortex-a9 --with-fpu=vfpv3 --with-float=hard
+
...
+
Thread model: posix
+
gcc version 4.9.3 (ctng-1.21.0-229g-FA)
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===编译U-Boot===
+
下载U-Boot源代码并编译,注意分支是nanopi2-lollipop-mr1:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/uboot_nanopi2.git
+
cd uboot_nanopi2
+
git checkout nanopi2-lollipop-mr1
+
make s5p4418_nanopi2_config
+
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
编译成功结束后您将获得u-boot.bin,您可以通过fastboot来更新正在运行的NanoPi2板上SD的U-Boot,方法如下:<br />
+
1) 在电脑上先用命令 sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot 安装 fastboot 工具;<br />
+
2) 用串口配件连接NanoPi2和电脑,在上电启动的2秒内,在串口终端上按下回车,进入 u-boot 的命令行模式;<br />
+
3) 在u-boot 命令行模式下输入命令 fastboot 回车,进入 fastboot 模式;<br />
+
4) 用microUSB线连接NanoPi2和电脑,在电脑上输入以下命令烧写u-boot.bin:<br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
<br />
+
注意:您不能直接使用dd来更新SD卡,否则有可能会导致无法正常启动。<br />
+
 
+
===准备mkimage===
+
编译内核需要用到U-Boot中的工具mkimage,因此,在编译内核uImage前,您需要保证您的主机环境可以成功运行它。<br />
+
你可以直接使用命令 sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools 来安装,也可以自己编译并安装:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cd uboot_nanopi2
+
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- tools
+
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin && sudo cp -v tools/mkimage /usr/local/sbin
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===编译Linux kernel===
+
====编译内核====
+
* 下载内核源代码
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git
+
cd linux-3.4.y
+
git checkout nanopi2-lollipop-mr1
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
NanoPi2内核所属的分支是nanopi2-lollipop-mr1,在开始编译前先切换分支。
+
* 编译Android内核
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
make nanopi2_android_defconfig
+
touch .scmversion
+
make uImage
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
* 编译Debian内核
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
make nanopi2_linux_defconfig
+
touch .scmversion
+
make uImage
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
编译成功结束后,新生成的内核烧写文件为 arch/arm/boot/uImage,此内核支持HDMI 720p输出,用于替换掉SD卡boot分区下的uImage.hdmi。<br />
+
如果要支持HDMI 1080p,则需要修改内核配置:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
touch .scmversion
+
make nanopi2_linux_defconfig
+
make menuconfig
+
  Device Drivers -->
+
    Graphics support -->
+
      Nexell Graphics -->
+
        [ ] LCD
+
        [*] HDMI
+
        (0)  Display In  [0=Display 0, 1=Display 1]
+
              Resolution (1920 * 1080p)  --->
+
make uImage
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
启用LCD,同时取消HDMI,然后退出并保存配置,编译后即可获得支持LCD显示的uImage,用于替换SD卡boot分区下的uImage。
+
 
+
====编译内核模块====
+
Android包含内核模块,位于system分区的 /lib/modules/ 下,如果您有新的内核模块或者内核配置有变化,则需要重新编译。 <br />
+
首先编译内核源代码中的模块:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cd linux-3.4.y
+
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- modules
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
另外有2个内核模块的源代码位于Android源代码中,可使用以下命令来编译:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cd /opt/FriendlyARM/s5p4418/android
+
./vendor/friendly-arm/build/common/build-modules.sh
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
其中 “/opt/FriendlyARM/s5p4418/android” 是指Android源代码的TOP目录,使用参数“-h”可查看帮助。<br />
+
编译成功结束后,会显示生成的内核模块。
+
 
+
===编译Android===
+
 
+
* 搭建编译环境
+
搭建编译Android的环境建议使用64位的Ubuntu 14.04,安装需要的包即可。
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make python-networkx zip
+
sudo apt-get install flex libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk minicom
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
更多说明可查看 https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html 。
+
 
+
* 下载源代码
+
Android源代码的下载需要使用repo,其安装和使用请查看 https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html 。
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
mkdir android && cd android
+
repo init -u https://github.com/friendlyarm/android_manifest.git -b nanopi2-lollipop-mr1
+
repo sync
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
其中“android”是指工作目录。
+
 
+
* 编译系统
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
source build/envsetup.sh
+
lunch aosp_nanopi2-userdebug
+
make -j8
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
编译成功完成后,目录 out/target/product/nanopi2/ 下包含可用于烧写的image文件。
+
 
+
==扩展连接==
+
===Smart4418连接USB(FA-CAM202)200万摄像头模块===
+
* Smart4418使用Debian系统,假设你已接好LCD屏或者HDMI,进入系统后,点击左下角的菜单键“Other”-->xawtv9,打开USB Camera软件。进入“welcome  to  xawtv!”,选择OK即可进行拍照。
+
[[File:USB-camera-nanopi2.png|frameless|500px|USB camera]]
+
[[File:USB-camera-nanopi2-01.png|frameless|500px|USB camera-01]]
+
===Smart4418连接CMOS 500万摄像头模块===
+
* Smart4418使用Android5.1系统,假设你已经接好LCD屏或者HDMI,进入系统后,直接点击“camera”图标,即可打开摄像头进行拍照。
+
[[File:CMOS-camera-nanopi2.png|frameless|500px|CMOS camera]]
+
===Smart4418接USB摄像头使用OpenCV===
+
* OpenCV的全称是Open Source Computer Vision Library,是一个跨平台的计算机视觉库。
+
* Smart4418跑Debian系统时,接USB Camera,可直接使用官方的OpenCV。<br>
+
1、以下介绍的是Smart4418用C++使用的OpenCV:
+
* 首先需要保证你的Smart4418能连外网,假如你有串口,直接串口登陆超级终端(或者ssh登陆)。进入系统后,输入用户名(root),密码(fa)登陆;
+
* 以下命令在超级终端执行:
+
<br>
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
apt-get update
+
apt-get install libcv-dev libopencv-dev
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
2、Smart4418烧写Debian系统启动后,接上USB Camera,使用Debian系统自带的摄像头软件测试,确定摄像头能正常使用。<br>
+
3、通过终端执行命令,查看你的摄像头设备:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
ls /dev/video*
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
* 注:video9 是你的USB摄像头设备(注:video0到8均被其它设备占用了)
+
 
+
4、opencv的测试代码(官方C++示例代码)在 /home/fa/Documents/opencv-demo, 使用以下命令即可编译:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cd /home/fa/Documents/opencv-demo
+
make
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
编译成功后,得到可执行文件demo <br />
+
 
+
5、这里特别说明:目前Smart4418的内核注册了9个video设备,而opencv的官方源码定义了最多只能使用8个Camera,所以这里需要删掉一个暂时没用到的video,我们把video0设备删掉:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
rm /dev/video0
+
mv /dev/video9 /dev/video0
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
6、以下步骤需要在Smart4418上接上键盘执行:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
./demo
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
你便可以看到opencv已经用起来。
+
 
+
==Smart4418 扩展TF卡分区==
+
===Smart4418 Debian系统扩展TF卡分区===
+
* Debian扩展分区,要在pc上执行下列操作:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
sudo umount /dev/sdx?
+
sudo parted /dev/sdx unit % resizepart 2 100 unit MB print
+
sudo resize2fs -f /dev/sdx2
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
* Android扩展分区,要在pc上执行下列操作:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
sudo umount /dev/sdx?
+
sudo parted /dev/sdx unit % resizepart 4 100 resizepart 7 100 unit MB print
+
sudo resize2fs -f /dev/sdx7
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
(注:/dev/sdx请替换为实际的SD卡设备文件名)
+

Note:
  1. VDD_5V: Supply voltage, range:4.7 ~ 5.6V. We recommend a 5V/1.2A(MAX) power. You can lower the clock to decrease the power consumption. When the clock is lowered by 200MHz the power consumption roughly decreases 0.5W .
  2. BOOT_CS: Boot chip selection. When it is not connected or pulled up the board boots from eMMC otherwise it boots from SD card
  3. NRESETIN: Reset input. Activated when it is low. A reset signal is input to CPU from this pin
  4. NRESETOUT: Reset output. Activated when it is low. CPU's reset signal outputs to this pin.
  5. RTC_BATT: RTC's input, direct connection to a 3V power source. If the CPU board is powered on the RTC seat is powered by 3.3V external power otherwise when the CPU board is not powered on it is powered by the RTC battery.
  6. ADC1~7: CPU internal ADC, 12-bit, 7 channels 1~7, range:0 ~ 1.8V
  7. 10/100M Ethernet mode: LAN_MDI1_N/P=RX-/+, LAN_MDI0_N/P=TX-/+, four pins connected to RJ45
  8. 10/100/1000M Ethernet mode: LAN_MDI0_N/P~LAN_MDI3N/P, all eight pins connected to RJ45
  9. MMC0 and MMC1 must be pulled up on the carrier board, even if peripherals are not connected
  10. For more details refer to our carrier board's design:Smart210/4418 SDK

5 Notes in Hardware Design

5.1 EEPROM

  • The Smart4418 CPU board has an EEPROM(model: 24AA025E48T-I/OT) with a unique MAC. This EEPROM is connected to I2C0 and its address is 0x51 therefore some EEPROM chips cannot be connected to I2C0 which will cause conflicts of addresses.
  • In our tests these EEPROM chips cannot be connected to I2C0: 24C04, 24C08 and 24C16. There chips which we tested can be connected to I2C0: 24C01, 24C02 and 24C256
  • For more details about EEPROM address issues refer to http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/CAT24C01-D.PDF

7.3 Flash image to eMMC with eflasher

  • Download eflasher image file

An image file's name is as : s5p4418-eflasher-OSNAME-YYYYMMDD.img.zip
The "OSNAME" is the name of an OS e.g. android, friendlycore and etc;
This image file is used for making an installation SD card and it contains a Ubuntu core system and a utility EFlasher;
Download s5p4418-eflasher-OSNAME-YYYYMMDD.img.zip to a host PC and get a windows utility win32diskimager.rar as well;

  • Make Installation SD Card with eflasher

Extract the package with a 7z utility and you will get a file with an extension ".img". Insert an SDHC card(minimum 8G or above) to a PC running Windows, run the Win32DiskImager utility as administrator, click on "Image File" to select your wanted file, select your SD card and click on "Write" to start flashing the Image to your SD card;
If your PC runs Linux you can command "dd" to extract the package and get an ".img" file and write it to your SD card;

  • Operate in GUI Window: Flash OS to eMMC

Insert your SD card to Smart4418, connect an HDMI monitor or LCD to your board, press and hold the "boot" key beside the Ethernet port, power on the board you will see a pop-up window asking you to select an OS for installation. Select your wanted OS and start installation.

  • Operate in Commandline Utility: Flash OS to eMMC

Insert an installation SD card to Smart4418, log into or SSH to your board and run the following command to start EFlasher:

sudo eflasher

7.3.1 Make Installation Card under Linux Desktop

  • 1) Insert your SD card into a host computer running Ubuntu and check your SD card's device name
dmesg | tail

Search the messages output by "dmesg" for similar words like "sdc: sdc1 sdc2". If you can find them it means your SD card has been recognized as "/dev/sdc". Or you can check that by commanding "cat /proc/partitions"

  • 2) Downlaod Linux script

git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_s5p4418.git
cd sd-fuse_s5p4418

  • 3) Here is how to make a Lubuntu desktop SD card
sudo ./fusing.sh /dev/sdx lubuntu

(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)
When you run the script for the first time it will prompt you to download an image you have to hit “Y” within 10 seconds otherwise you will miss the download

  • 4) Run this command to make a complete image file:
sudo ./mkimage.sh lubuntu

More content please refre: Assembling the SD card image yourself

7.4 Extend SD Card Section

  • When Debian/Ubuntu is loaded the SD card's section will be automatically extended.
  • When Android is loaded you need to run the following commands on your host PC to extend your SD card's section:
sudo umount /dev/sdx?
sudo parted /dev/sdx unit % resizepart 4 100 resizepart 7 100 unit MB print
sudo resize2fs -f /dev/sdx7

(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)

7.5 LCD/HDMI Resolution

When the system boots our uboot will check whether it is connected to an LCD or to an HDMI monitor. If it recognizes an LCD it will configure its resolution. Our uboot defaults to the HDMI 720P configuration.
If you want to modify the LCD resolution you can modify file "arch/arm/plat-s5p4418/nanopi2/lcds.c" in the kernel and recompile it.
If your Smart4418 is connected to an HDMI monitor and it runs Android it will automatically set the resolution to an appropriate HDMI mode by checking the "EDID". If your Smart4418 is connected to an HDMI monitor and it runs Debian by default it will set the resolution to the HDMI 720P configuration. If you want to modify the HDMI resolution to 1080P modify your kernel's configuration as explained above.

7.6 Update SD Card's boot parameters From PC Host

Insert your SD card into a host PC running Linux, if you want to change your kernel command line parameters you can do it via the fw_setevn utility.
Check the current Command Line:

git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_s5p4418.git
cd sd-fuse_s5p4418/tools
./fw_printenv /dev/sdx | grep bootargs

For example, to disable android SELinux, You can change it this way:

./fw_setenv /dev/sdc bootargs XXX androidboot.selinux=permissive

The "XXX" stands for the original bootargs' value.

7.7 Run Android or Linux (TODO)

  • 将制作好SD卡插入Smart4418,连接HDMI,按住靠近网口的boot按键,最后接电源(5V 2A)拨动开关,Smart4418会从SD卡启动。你可以看到板上PWR灯常亮,LED1灯闪烁,这说明系统已经开始启动了,同时电视上也将能看到系统启动的画面。
  • 要在电视上进行操作,你需要连接USB鼠标和键盘;如果你选购了LCD配件,则可以直接使用LCD上面的触摸屏进行操作。

8 Work with FriendlyCore

8.1 Introduction

FriendlyCore is a light Linux system without X-windows, based on ubuntu core, It uses the Qt-Embedded's GUI and is popular in industrial and enterprise applications.

Besides the regular Ubuntu core's features our FriendlyCore has the following additional features:

  • it supports our LCDs with both capacitive touch and resistive touch(S700, X710, HD702, S430, HD101 and S70)
  • it supports WiFi
  • it supports Ethernet
  • it supports Bluetooth and has been installed with bluez utilities
  • it supports audio playing
  • it supports Qt 5.10.0 EGLES and OpenGL ES1.1/2.0 (Only for S5P4418/S5P6818)

8.2 System Login

  • If your board is connected to an HDMI monitor you need to use a USB mouse and keyboard.
  • If you want to do kernel development you need to use a serial communication board, ie a PSU-ONECOM board, which will

For example, NanoPi-M1:
PSU-ONECOM-M1.jpg
You can use a USB to Serial conversion board too.
Make sure you use a 5V/2A power to power your board from its MicroUSB port:
For example, NanoPi-NEO2:
USB2UART-NEO2.jpg

  • FriendlyCore User Accounts:

Non-root User:

   User Name: pi
   Password: pi

Root:

   User Name: root
   Password: fa

The system is automatically logged in as "pi". You can do "sudo npi-config" to disable auto login.

  • Update packages
$ sudo apt-get update

8.3 Configure System with npi-config

The npi-config is a commandline utility which can be used to initialize system configurations such as user password, system language, time zone, Hostname, SSH switch , Auto login and etc. Type the following command to run this utility.

$ sudo npi-config

Here is how npi-config's GUI looks like:
npi-config

8.4 Develop Qt Application

Please refer to: How to Build and Install Qt Application for FriendlyELEC Boards

8.5 Setup Program to AutoRun

You can setup a program to autorun on system boot with npi-config:

sudo npi-config

Go to Boot Options -> Autologin -> Qt/Embedded, select Enable and reboot.

8.6 Extend TF Card's Section

When FriendlyCore is loaded the TF card's section will be automatically extended.You can check the section's size by running the following command:

$ df -h

8.7 Transfer files using Bluetooth

Take the example of transferring files to the mobile phone. First, set your mobile phone Bluetooth to detectable status, then execute the following command to start Bluetooth search.:

hcitool scan


Search results look like:

Scanning ...
    2C:8A:72:1D:46:02   HTC6525LVW

This means that a mobile phone named HTC6525LVW is searched. We write down the MAC address in front of the phone name, and then use the sdptool command to view the Bluetooth service supported by the phone:

sdptool browser 2C:8A:72:1D:46:02

Note: Please replace the MAC address in the above command with the actual Bluetooth MAC address of the mobile phone.
This command will detail the protocols supported by Bluetooth for mobile phones. What we need to care about is a file transfer service called OBEX Object Push. Take the HTC6525LVW mobile phone as an example. The results are as follows:

Service Name: OBEX Object Push
Service RecHandle: 0x1000b
Service Class ID List:
  "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 12
  "OBEX" (0x0008)
Profile Descriptor List:
  "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)
    Version: 0x0100

As can be seen from the above information, the channel used by the OBEX Object Push service of this mobile phone is 12, we need to pass it to the obexftp command, and finally the command to initiate the file transfer request is as follows:

obexftp --nopath --noconn --uuid none --bluetooth -b 2C:8A:72:1D:46:02 -B 12 -put example.jpg

Note: Please replace the MAC address, channel and file name in the above command with the actual one.

After executing the above commands, please pay attention to the screen of the mobile phone. The mobile phone will pop up a prompt for pairing and receiving files. After confirming, the file transfer will start.

Bluetooth FAQ:
1) Bluetooth device not found on the development board, try to open Bluetooth with the following command:

rfkill unblock 0

2) Prompt can not find the relevant command, you can try to install related software with the following command:

apt-get install bluetooth bluez obexftp openobex-apps python-gobject ussp-push

8.8 WiFi

For either an SD WiFi or a USB WiFi you can connect it to your board in the same way. The APXX series WiFi chips are SD WiFi chips. By default FriendlyElec's system supports most popular USB WiFi modules. Here is a list of the USB WiFi modules we tested:

Index Model
1 RTL8188CUS/8188EU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
2 RT2070 Wireless Adapter
3 RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
4 RTL8192CU Wireless Adapter
5 mi WiFi mt7601
6 5G USB WiFi RTL8821CU
7 5G USB WiFi RTL8812AU

You can use the NetworkManager utility to manage network. You can run "nmcli" in the commandline utility to start it. Here are the commands to start a WiFi connection:

  • Change to root
$ su root
  • Check device list
$ nmcli dev

Note: if the status of a device is "unmanaged" it means that device cannot be accessed by NetworkManager. To make it accessed you need to clear the settings under "/etc/network/interfaces" and reboot your system.

  • Start WiFi
$ nmcli r wifi on
  • Scan Surrounding WiFi Sources
$ nmcli dev wifi
  • Connect to a WiFi Source
$ nmcli dev wifi connect "SSID" password "PASSWORD" ifname wlan0

The "SSID" and "PASSWORD" need to be replaced with your actual SSID and password.If you have multiple WiFi devices you need to specify the one you want to connect to a WiFi source with iface
If a connection succeeds it will be automatically setup on next system reboot.

For more details about NetworkManager refer to this link: Use NetworkManager to configure network settings

If your USB WiFi module doesn't work most likely your system doesn't have its driver. For a Debian system you can get a driver from Debian-WiFi and install it on your system. For a Ubuntu system you can install a driver by running the following commands:

$ apt-get install linux-firmware

In general all WiFi drivers are located at the "/lib/firmware" directory.


8.9 Ethernet Connection

If a board is connected to a network via Ethernet before it is powered on it will automatically obtain an IP with DHCP activated after it is powered up. If you want to set up a static IP refer to: Use NetworkManager to configure network settings


8.10 Custom welcome message

The welcome message is printed from the script in this directory:

/etc/update-motd.d/

For example, to change the FriendlyELEC LOGO, you can change the file /etc/update-motd.d/10-header. For example, to change the LOGO to HELLO, you can change the following line:

TERM=linux toilet -f standard -F metal $BOARD_VENDOR

To:

TERM=linux toilet -f standard -F metal HELLO

8.11 Modify timezone

For exampe, change to Shanghai timezone:

sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

8.12 Select the system default audio device

You can set the system default audio device by following the steps below.
Use the following command to view all the sound card devices in the system (Note: different development boards will have different results):

pi@NanoPi:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: nanopi2audio [nanopi2-audio], device 0: c0055000.i2s-ES8316 HiFi ES8316 HiFi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: nanopi2audio [nanopi2-audio], device 1: c0059000.spdiftx-dit-hifi dit-hifi-1 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

As you can see, the following sound card devices are available on the hardware:

Sound card device Sound card number Description
nanopi2audio device 0 3.5mm jack interface
nanopi2audio device 1 HDMI

To configure the audio output to the 3.5mm jack, create or modify the configuration file /etc/asound.conf and modify it to the following:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
}
 
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

To configure to output audio to HDMI, change the device 0 above to device 1.


8.13 Run the X11 application

FriendlyCore system built-in lightweight Xorg,although there is no window manager, you can still run a single X-Windows application,For example, the program to run is ~/YourX11App,use the following command:

. /usr/bin/setqt5env-xcb
startx ~/YourX11App -geometry 1280x800

Note that there is a space between "." and /usr/bin/setqt5env-xcb. In addition, the resolution after -geometry should be changed to the actual resolution of your screen.

 ! queue ! nxvideosink t. ! queue ! nxvideoenc bitrate=12000000 ! mp4mux ! \
 filesink location=result_720.mp4

8.18 Power Off and Schedule Power On

“PMU Power Management” feature helps us to auto power on the board at a specific time, it is implemented by an MCU, support software power-off, and RTC alarm power-up functions.

Here’s a simple guide:
Turn on automatically after 100 seconds. (Time must be greater than 60 seconds.):

$ sudo echo 100 > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-3/device/3-002d/wakealarm

After setting up the automatic boot, turn off board with the 'poweroff’ command:

$ sudo poweroff

Cancel automatic boot:

$ sudo echo 0 > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-3/device/3-002d/wakealarm

Query the current settings, in the front is current time, followed by the time of automatic booting: If no automatic boot is set, it will display "disabled”.

$ sudo cat /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-3/device/3-002d/wakealarm


Note that some older versions of hardware may not support this feature, if you don't see this file node in your system:
/sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-3/device/3-002d/wakealarm
your board may be it does not support this feature.

9.6 Optimizing HDMI Performance on Android 7

9.6.1 Note

By default, the driver initializes two framebuffers, one for the primary LCD display and the other for HDMI. If your project specifically requires the use of HDMI and not the LCD, you can follow the steps outlined in this chapter to make modifications. After making these changes, HDMI will be configured as the primary display, resulting in the initialization of only one framebuffer. This optimization conserves resources and leads to corresponding improvements in UI performance and boot speed.
The content of this chapter is applicable exclusively to S5P6818 running Android 7. For S5P4418, the modification process is similar, with adjustments needed in the corresponding files.

9.6.2 Modify the kernel

You need to modify the kernel Device Tree Source (DTS) to disable the dp_drm_lvds node, as shown below:

--- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/nexell/s5p6818-nanopi3-common.dtsi
+++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/nexell/s5p6818-nanopi3-common.dtsi

        display-timing {
                clock-frequency = <50000000>;

After compilation, you will obtain a new arch/arm64/boot/dts/nexell/s5p6818-nanopi3-rev*.dtb file.
During the testing phase, you can directly update it to the board using adb with the following command:

adb root; adb wait-for-device; adb shell mkdir /storage/sdcard1/; adb
shell mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /storage/sdcard1/
adb push arch/arm64/boot/dts/nexell/s5p6818-nanopi3-rev*.dtb /storage/sdcard1/

For a complete firmware update, you will need to replace the files in the device/friendlyelec/nanopi3/boot directory of the Android 7 source code.

9.6.3 Modify env.conf

To modify the device/friendlyelec/nanopi3/boot/env.conf file and add a line

lcdtype     HDMI1080P60

This mode needs to match the mode detected by Android 7 after startup; otherwise, it may result in a prolonged black screen state or even no display output. In such cases, you may need to manually set it in the U-Boot command-line environment:

setenv lcdtype HDMI1080P60; saveenv; reset

9.6.4 Modify system.prop

To modify the device/friendlyelec/nanopi3/system.prop file in Android 7

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Alternatively, you can adjust the system property or experiment with different values that you deem more appropriate. You can also use the following command to change the display density under the serial or adb environment and observe if the effect is suitable:

adb shell wm density 240

9.6.5 Compiling Android

Follow the instructions in the wiki to compile Android 7 and conduct testing. If you encounter any exceptions, please carefully review the preceding steps.

10 Make Your Own OS Image

10.1 Install Cross Compiler

make ARCH=arm nanopi2_linux_defconfig
make ARCH=arm

After your compilation succeeds an "arch/arm/boot/zImage" will be generated and a DTB file(s5p4418-nanopi2-rev*.dtb) will be generated in the "arch/arm/boot/dts/" directory. You can use them to replace the existing zImage and DTB files in the boot partition of your bootable SD card.

10.2.2 Use Your Generated Kernel

  • Update kernel in SD card

If you use an SD card to boot Ubuntu you can copy your generated zImage and DTB files to your SD card's boot partition(e.g. partition 1 /dev/sdX1).

  • Update kernel in eMMC

If you boot your board from eMMC you can update your kernel file by following the steps below:
1) Usually after OS is loaded eMMC's boot partition (in our example eMMC's device name was /dev/mmcblk0p1) will be automatically mounted and you can verify that by running "mount"
2) Connect your board to a host PC running Ubuntu and copy the zImage and DTB files to eMMC's boot partition
3) Or you can copy your generated kernel file to an external storage card(e.g. an SD card or a USB drive), connect the storage card to your board the move the file from the card to eMMC's boot partition
4) After update is done type "reboot" to reboot your board. Note: don't just directly disconnect your board from its power source or press the reset button to reboot the board. These actions will damage your kernel file

  • Generate Your boot.img

Refer to this repo: https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_s5p4418

10.3 Compile Linux kernel for Android7

The Android 7.1.2 source code already contains the pre-compiled kernel. If you need to customize it, you can compile the kernel according to the following guide.

git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux.git -b nanopi2-v4.4.y --depth 1
cd linux
touch .scmversion
make ARCH=arm nanopi2_nougat_defconfig
make ARCH=arm

The newly generated kernel is arch/arm/boot/zImage,The new DTB file is also included under the directory arch/arm/boot/dts/.(s5p4418-nanopi2-rev*.dtb).
If you only want to debug the kernel, you can quickly update it with adb:

adb root; adb shell mkdir /storage/sdcard1/; adb shell mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /storage/sdcard1/;
adb push arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/s5p4418-nanopi2-rev*.dtb /storage/sdcard1/

If you want to generate boot.img for burning, you can copy the kernel zImage and DTB files to the Android7 source code directory: device/friendlyelec/nanopi2/boot, then recompile Android7.

10.4 Compile U-Boot for Android7/FriendlyCore/Lubuntu/EFlasher

Download the U-Boot source code and compile it. Note that the github's branch is nanopi2-v2016.01:

git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/u-boot.git 
cd u-boot
git checkout nanopi2-v2016.01
make s5p4418_nanopi2_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-

After your compilation succeeds a bootloader.img will be generated. If you want to test it flash it to your installation SD card to replace an existing U-Boot v2016.01 file via fastboot, sd-fuse_s5p4418 or eflasher ROM.
For Android7: Copy bootloader.img to Android7 source directory device/friendlyelec/nanopi2/boot, then recompile Android7.
Note: you cannot use mixed U-Boot files. For example you cannot use fastboot to update an existing U-Boot V2014.07 and you cannot use bootloader.img to replace an existing u-boot.bin

10.5 Compile Android 7.1.2
