| − | * Specify OS
| |
| − | By default the SD card's configuration file "images\FriendlyARM.ini" specifies Android to be flashed to eMMC. If you want to install Debian make the following change:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | OS = Debian
| |

| |
| − | * Flash Image to NanoPC-T3's eMMC
| |
| − | Insert this card into your NanoPC-T3, connect the board to an HDMI monitor or an LCD, press and hold the boot key and power on (with a 5V/2A power source) the board to start installation. You can watch the whole installation process from the HDMI monitor or LCD. If the following messages pop up it means the installation has succeeded.
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | Android is fused successfully.
| |
| − | All done.

| |
| − | ====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
| |
| − | <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 has been 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_s5p6818.git
| |
| − | cd sd-fuse_s5p6818
| |
| − | </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>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Extend NanoPC-T3's 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:
| |
| − | <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>
| |
| − | (Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====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.<br/>
| |
| − | If you want to modify the LCD resolution you can modify file "arch/arm/plat-s5p6818/nanopi3/lcds.c" in the kernel and recompile it.<br/>
| |
| − | If your NanoPC-T3 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 NanoPC-T3 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.

| |
| − | ===Update Image Files in SD Card From PC Host===
| |
| − | If you want to make some changes to the image files in your SD card follow the steps below otherwise you can skip this section.<br/>
| |
| − | Insert your SD card into a host PC running Linux, mount the boot and rootfs sections of the SD card and follow the steps below:<br/>
| |
| − | 1) If you want to change your kernel command line parameters you can do it via the fw_setevn utility under "sd-fuse_s5p6818/tools".
| |
| − | Check the current Command Line:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | cd sd-fuse_s5p6818/tools
| |
| − | ./fw_printenv /dev/sdc | grep bootargs
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Android 5.1.1_r6 starts SELinux. By default it is enforcing. You can change it this way:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | ./fw_setenv /dev/sdc bootargs XXX androidboot.selinux=permissive
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | This sets it to "permissive". The "XXX" stands for the original bootargs' value.<br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2) Update Kernel<br/>
| |
| − | Our customized uboot will check the LCD type when it boots.<br/>
| |
| − | For Android it doesn't make any difference which display device is detected. You can use your generated uImage to replace the existing one under "boot".<br/>
| |
| − | For Debian if your generated kernel is for an LCD you need to replace the existing uImage or if your kernel is for an HDMI monitor you need to replace the existing uImage.hdmi.<br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Run Android or Debian===
| |
| − | * Insert an SD card with Android/Debian image file into your NanoPC-T3, connect the board to an HDMI monitor, press and hold the boot key, power on the board the NanoPC-T3 will boot from the SD card. If you can see the PWR LED on and the LED1 flashing it means your board is working and you will see Android/Debain being loaded on the HDMI monitor.<br/>
| |
| − | 1) If you connect the NanoPC-T3 to an HDMI monitor you need to use a USB mouse and a USB keyboard to operate. If you connect it to an LCD with capacitive touch you can operate directly on the LCD.<br/>
| |
| − | 2）If you want to do kernel development you need to use a serial communication board, ie a PSU-ONECOM board, which will allow you to operate the board via a serial terminal<br/>
| |
| − | * Here is a setup where we connect a NanoPC-T3 to a PC running Ubuntu and Minicom via a serial cable you will see system messages output to the PC’s minicom terminal:
| |
| − | [[File:PSU-ONECOM02.png|frameless|400px|PSU-ONECOM02]]
| |
| − | * Under Debian the password for "root" is "fa"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Working with Debian==
| |
| − | ===Ethernet Connection===
| |
| − | * If the NanoPC-T3 is connected to a network via Ethernet before it is powered on, it will automatically obtain an IP after it is powered up.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Wireless Connection===
| |
| − | Under Debian you can manage your network with [[Use NetworkManager to configure network settings|NetworkManager]].<br />
| |
| − | After Debian boots click on the network icon on the bottom right of the task bar a NetworkManger menu will pop up and all the available networks will be listed. If there is an active wireless network you will see something similar to the following screenshot:<br />
| |
| − | [[File:NetworkManagerIcon.png|frameless|400px|NetworkManagerIcon]]<br />
| |
| − | You can click on a WiFI AP and connect your board to it.<br />
| |
| − | For more details refer to:[[Use NetworkManager to configure network settings|NetworkManager]].<br />
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Setup Wi-Fi AP===
| |
| − | Follow the steps below. Since our OS image by default already has the NetworkManager utility you will be prompted to uninstall it first:<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | sudo turn-wifi-into-apmode yes
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | After you uninstall the NetworkManager reboot your board.<br />
| |
| − | After your board is rebooted run the above commands again and you will be prompted to type in a WIFI's name and password. Type in your wanted name and password<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | If this is successful you will be able to find and connect your board to a WIFI. Login to your board at 192.168.8.1:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | ssh root@192.168.8.1
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Type in a password. In our system the password is "fa".<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | To login smoothly via SSH we recommend you turning off WIFI's power save mode by running the following commands:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | You can check your WiFi's mode by running the following command:<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | sudo cat /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/op_mode
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Number 2 means your WiFi is in AP mode. You can switch to the Station mode by running the following command:<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | sudo turn-wifi-into-apmode no
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Bluetooth===
| |
| − | Here are the steps to transfer a file from T2 to a mobile phone. Run the following command to search a surrounding Bluetooth device:<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | hcitool scan
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | In our example a mobile phone was detected and the following messages were listed:<br />
| |
| − | Scanning ...<br />
| |
| − | 38:BC:1A:B1:7E:DD MEIZU MX4<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | These messages indicated that a MEIZU MX4 mobile phone was detected. We then checked the Bluetooth services this phone supported with its MAC address presented in front of its device name<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | sdptool browse 38:BC:1A:B1:7E:DD
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Note: you need to use your device's name and its MAC address when you run these commands.<br /><br />
| |
| − | The command listed all the services the phone supported. We needed the "OBEX Object Push" service which is for file transfers.<br />
| |
| − | Service Name: OBEX Object Push<br />
| |
| − | Service RecHandle: 0x1000b<br />
| |
| − | Service Class ID List:<br />
| |
| − | "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)<br />
| |
| − | Protocol Descriptor List:<br />
| |
| − | "L2CAP" (0x0100)<br />
| |
| − | "RFCOMM" (0x0003)<br />
| |
| − | Channel: 25<br />
| |
| − | "OBEX" (0x0008)<br />
| |
| − | Profile Descriptor List:<br />
| |
| − | "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105)<br />
| |
| − | Version: 0x0100<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | From the above messages we could get the channel number 25 for the "OBEX Object Push" service. We input this number to the "ussp-push" by running the following command:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | ussp-push 38:BC:1A:B1:7E:DD@25 example.jpg example.jpg
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Note: you need to use your device's name, its MAC address and channel number when you run these commands.<br /><br />
| |
| − | Usually after the above commands are run a popup window will show on the phone that communicates with T2 and you can start file transfers.<br />
| |
| − | <br />
| |
| − | Common Issues:<br />
| |
| − | 1) If T2 cannot find a Bluetooth device you can try this command to restart its Bluetooth:<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | rfkill unblock 0
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | 2) If any of these commands is not installed you can try this command to install it:<br />
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | apt-get install bluetooth bluez obexftp openobex-apps python-gobject ussp-push
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Install Debian Packages===
| |
| − | We provide a Debian Jessie image. You can install Jessie's packages by commanding "apt-get". If this is your first installation you need to update the package list by running the following command
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | apt-get update
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | You can install your preferred packages. For example if you want to install an FTP server you can do this：
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | apt-get install vsftpd
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Note: you can change your download server by editting "/etc/apt/sources.list". You can get a complete server list from [http://www.debian.org/mirror/list]. You need to select the one with "armhf".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Audio Output from HDMI or 3.5mm Jack under Debian===
| |
| − | Our default Debian image for the NanoPC-T3 doesn't support audio output. If you want to enable this function you need to install the alsa package.
| |
| − | * Make sure your Debian OS is our latest version and your board has access to the internet;
| |
| − | * Power up your board and run the following commands on your board's commandline utility to install the alsa package:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | apt-get update
| |
| − | apt-get install libasound2
| |
| − | apt-get install alsa-base
| |
| − | apt-get install alsa-utils
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | * After the installation is done copy a ".wav" audio file to your NanoPC-T3, connect your T3 to a earphone or speaker and try playing this audio file(By default Debian's audio output is from the 3.5mm audio jack):
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | aplay music.wav
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | * By default Debian's audio output is from the 3.5mm audio jack. If you want audio output from the HDMI you need to change the setting by editing the "/etc/asound.conf" file:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | pcm.!default {
| |
| − | type hw
| |
| − | card 1
| |
| − | device 0}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ctl.!default {
| |
| − | type hw
| |
| − | card 1}
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | card 0 stands for the 3.5mm audio jack and card 1 stands for the HDMI audio. After you make your change reboot your board to make it effective.

| − | git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git
| |
| − | cd linux-3.4.y
| |
| − | git checkout nanopi2-lollipop-mr1
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | The NanoPC-T3's kernel source code lies in the "nanopi2-lollipop-mr1" branch.
| |
| − | * Compile Android Kernel
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | make nanopi3_android_defconfig
| |
| − | touch .scmversion
| |
| − | make uImage
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | * Compile Debian Kernel
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | make nanopi3_linux_defconfig
| |
| − | touch .scmversion
| |
| − | make uImage
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | After your compilation succeeds a uImage will be generated in the "arch/arm/boot/uImage" directory. This kernel is for LCD output. You can use it to replace the existing uImage.<br/>
| |
| − | If you want to generate a kernel for HDMI output you need to run nanopi3_linux_hdmi_defconfig and do it this way:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | make nanopi3_linux_hdmi_defconfig
| |
| − | touch .scmversion
| |
| − | make menuconfig
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | After your compilation succeeds a uImage will be generated for HDMI 720P. If you want a uImage for 1080P you can do it this way:

| |
| − | After your compilation succeeds a uImage will be generated for HDMI 1080P. You can use it to replace the existing uImage.hdmi.
| |
| − | * Compile Kernel for Ubuntu Core
| |
| − | The steps here are nearly the same as the steps for compiling a Debian kernel:<br />
| |
| − | LCD Output:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | make nanopi3_core-qt_defconfig
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | HDMI Output:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | make nanopi3_core-qt_hdmi_defconfig
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>

| − | Select your configuration file and run the following commands to generate a uImage.
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | touch .scmversion
| |
| − | make uImage
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====User Your Generated Kernel====
| |
| − | * Update the kernel file in SD card
| |
| − | If you use an SD card to boot Android you can copy your generated uImage file to your SD card's boot section(e.g. section 1 /dev/sdX1).<br/>
| |
| − | If you use an SD card to Debian and you generated a uImage for an HDMI monitor you can use that uImage to replace the uImage.hdmi file in the SD card's boot section. If you use an SD card to Debian and you generated a uImage for an LCD you can use that uImage to replace the uImage file in the SD card's boot section.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Update Android kernel file in eMMC
| |
| − | If you want to update the kernel file in eMMC you need firstly boot your board, then mount eMMC's boot section, replace the boot section's kernel file with your generated one and reboot your board to make your new kernel run.<br/>
| |
| − | If you boot your board from eMMC you can update your kernel file by following the steps below:<br/>
| |
| − | 1) After Android is loaded mount eMMC's boot section (in our example eMMC's device name was /dev/mmcblk0p1) by using the following commands:<br/>
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | su
| |
| − | mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | 2) Connect your board to a host PC running Ubuntu and copy the uImage file to eMMC's boot section by running the following commands;<br/>
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | adb push uImage /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | 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 section;<br/>
| |
| − | 4) After update is done type in "reboot" to reload Android. Note don't directly power off and on the board or press the reset button to reboot the board. These two actions will damage your kernel file.<br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Update Debian kernel file in eMMC
| |
| − | If you boot your board from eMMC you can update your kernel file by following the steps below:<br/>
| |
| − | 1) When Debian is being loaded eMMC's boot section will be automatically mounted(in our example eMMC's device name was /dev/mmcblk0p1). You can use "mount" to verify that;<br/>
| |
| − | 2) Connect your board to a host PC via Ethernet and copy your generated uImage file via scp/ftp to eMMC's boot section and replace the existing file. If your file is for an LCD use your uImage file to replace the existing uImage. If your file is for an HDMI monitor use your uImage.hdmi file to replace the existing uImage.hdmi file;<br/>
| |
| − | 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 section;<br/>
| |
| − | 4) After update is done type in "reboot" to reload Debian. Note don't directly power off and on the board or press the reset button to reboot the board. These two actions will damage your kernel file<br/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Generate Your boot.img
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you want to generate an image file that can be flashed to eMMC you need to generate a boot.img file and copy it to your installation SD card.<br/>
| |
| − | For Android copy the uImage file to Android source code's "device/friendly-arm/nanopi3/boot/" directory and compile this whole Android source code. After your compilation is successful you will get a boot.img file.<br/>
| |
| − | For Debian follow the steps below to generate a boot.img file:<br/>
| |
| − | 1) Download debian_nanopi2
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/debian_nanopi2.git
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | 2) Copy the image file for an HDMI monitor and use it to replace the "debian_nanopi2/boot/uImage.hdmi" file and copy the image file for an LCD and use it to replace the "debian_nanopi2/boot/uImage" file;<br/>
| |
| − | 3) Generate Debian's boot.img
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | cd debian_nanopi2
| |
| − | mkdir rootfs
| |
| − | ./build.sh
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | A newly generated boot.img will be under the "debian_nanopi2/sd-fuse_nanopi2/debian" directory.<br/>
| |
| − | The "mkdir rootfs" command creates a working directory for the build.sh script to run. It also creates some files such as "rootfs.img" but these files are useless.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Compile Kernel Modules====
| |
| − | Android contains kernel modules which are in the "/lib/modules" directory in the system section. If you want to add your own modules to the kernel or you changed your kernel configurations you need to recompile these new modules.<br/>
| |
| − | Compile Original Kernel Modules:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | cd linux-3.4.y
| |
| − | make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- modules
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | Here we have two new modules and we can compile them by following the commands below:
| |
| − | <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| − | cd /opt/FriendlyARM/s5p6818/android
| |
| − | ./vendor/friendly-arm/build/common/build-modules.sh
| |
| − | </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| − | The "/opt/FriendlyARM/s5p6818/android" directory points to the top directory of Android source code. You can get more details by specifying option "-h".<br/>
| |
| − | After your compilation succeeds new modules will be generated
| |
