It contains user keys, LEDs, buzzer, ADC, compass, temperature sensor, IR receiver and TFT interface. It works with FriendlyARM's NanoPi 2 Fire and NanoPi M2 via its 40 pin male connector and is compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards. In addition you can connect various devices to its IO pin-header.

4 Download Matrix Source Code

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub: https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.

• The matrix-nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi;
• The matrix-nanopi2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2;
• The matrix-tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412;
• The matrix-raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi;

Follow the steps below to get the source code
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone the matrix code from GitHub

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

5 Connect to NanoPi 2 Fire

5.1 Hardware Connection

Refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Compact_Kit_B to the NanoPi 2 Fire

5.2 Compile Test Program

Login to the matrix hub and enter the nanopi2 branch

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout nanopi2

Compile the Matrix code

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install

Note: make sure to install the cross compiler "arm-linux-gcc-4.9.3" on your PC, which is used to compile files for the NanoPi 2.
Generated library files are under the "install/lib" directory. The test program is under the "install/usr/bin" directory.
The modules are under the "modules" directory. The driver's source code is in github: https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git

5.3 Copy Test Program

Insert a TF card which is flashed with Debian into a Linux host and mount its boot and rootfs sections.
We assume the rootfs is mounted to /media/rootfs then run the following commands to copy the module, library and test program to the card.

$ cp modules /media/rootfs/ -r
$ cp install/lib/* /media/rootfs/lib/ -d
$ cp install/usr/bin/* /media/rootfs/usr/bin/

5.4 Test LCD

Insert this TF card to your NanoPi 2 Fire, power on and run the following commands.

$ cd /modules
$ insmod fbtft_device.ko name=matrix-st7735s gpios=dc:58,reset:63,cs:59
$ sudo FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb-st7735s startx &

"fbtft_device" is the LCD's driver.After it is loaded the LCD will be initialized.
"startx" sets the LCD to the output device. Here is what you should expect:

5.5 Test Buzzer

Jump the buzzer to "ON" and run the following commands:

$ cd /modules
$ insmod matrix_pwm.ko
$ matrix-buzzer

Here is what you expect to observe:

You will hear the buzzer beeping and the PWM's default frequency is 1KHz and the duty cycle is 50%.

5.6 Access LED

Take LED1 as an example, run the following commands:

$ cd /sys/class/gpio/
$ echo 60 > export
$ echo out > gpio60/direction
$ echo 1 > gpio60/value

"1" turns on LED1 and "0" turns off LED1.

5.7 Read User Key Value

Take KEY1 as an example run the following commands:

$ cd /sys/class/gpio/
$ echo 74 > export
$ echo in > gpio74/direction
$ cat gpio74/value

When KEY1 is pressed "value" is 0 otherwise "value" is 1.

5.8 Test AD

Run the following command to get Channel 0's value:

$ cd /modules
$ insmod pcf8591.ko
$ matrix-adc

When you turn the resistor the AD value will change. Here is what you should expect:

5.9 Test Compass

Run the following command to activate the compass:

$ matrix-compass

When you change the module's direction you will get a changing value. Here is what you should expect:

5.10 Test Temperature Sensor

Run the following commands to test the temperature sensor:

$ cd /modules
$ insmod w1-gpio.ko
$ insmod w1-gpio-board.ko gpio=72
$ matrix-temp_sensor

gpio=72 means pin GPIOC8 is used. 72 is the index number used in the Linux kernel.
Here is what you should expect:

5.11 Test IR Receiver

Run the following commands to test the IR receiver:

$ cd /modules
$ insmod matrix_ir_recv.ko gpio=92

gpio=92 means pin GPIOC28 is used. 92 is the index number used in the Linux kernel.
After the driver is successfully loaded a device node will be generated under /dev/input/. We assume it is event1 in our example.

An open source utility "input-utils" can be used to read a device's data. Here is how to do it:

$ apt-get install input-utils
$ input-events 1

"1" stands for device node event1.

If you send data to the IR receiver with a remote control you will be able to see this:
