4 Get Started
4.1 Essentials You Need
Before play with your NanoPi M2 please get the following items ready
- NanoPi M2
- microSD Card/TFCard: Class 10 or Above, minimum 8GB SDHC
- microUSB power. A 5V/2A power is a must
- HDMI monitor or LCD
- USB keyboard and mouse
- A Host running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit system
4.2 TF Cards We Tested
To make your NanoPi 2 Fire boot and run fast we highly recommand you use a Class10 8GB SDHC TF card or a better one. The following cards are what we used in all our test cases presented here:
- SanDisk TF 8G Class10 Micro/SD TF card:
- SanDisk TF128G MicroSDXC TF 128G Class10 48MB/S:
- 川宇 8G C10 High Speed class10 micro SD card:
4.3 Make an Installation MicroSD Card
4.3.1 Under Windows
Please get the following files from here:[http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/nanopi2/download/ to download image files.
For LCD or HDMI output please use the following files: nanopi2-debian-sd4g.img.zip Debian image files nanopi2-android-sd4g.img.zip Android image files Flash Utility: win32diskimager.rar Windows utility. Under Linux users can use "dd"
- Please uncompress these files. Insert an SD card(at least 4G) to a Windows PC, run the win32diskimager utility as administrator,On the utility's main window select your SD card's drive and the image files and click on "write" to start flashing the SD card.
- Please insert this card to your NanoPi M2 and power on (with a 5V/2A power source). If the blue LED and green LED are blinking this indicates your NanoPi M2 is successfully booted.
4.3.2 Under Linux Desktop
- 1) Insert your microSD card to your host 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 is recognized as "/dev/sdc". Or you can check that by commanding "cat /proc/partitions"
- 2) Download Flashing Script
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/sd-fuse_nanopi2.git cd sd-fuse_nanopi2
- 3) Flash Android Firmware to MicroSD Card
su ./fusing.sh /dev/sdx
(Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system)
When you do “git clone” you have to hit “Y” within 10 seconds after it prompts you to download image files otherwise you will miss the download.
- 4) Flash Debian Firmware to MicroSD Card
./fusing.sh /dev/sdx debian
4.3.3 LCD/HDMI Resolution
When system boots our uboot will check whether it is connected to an LCD. If it recognizes an LCD it will configure its resolution. By default our uboot configures the display to HDMI 720P.
If you want to reset the LCD resolution you can modify file "arch/arm/plat-s5p4418/nanopi2/lcds.c" in the kernel and recompile it.
If your NanoPi 2 connects an HDMI monitor and it runs Android it will automatically set the resolution to an appropriate HDMI mode by checking "EDID". If your NanoPi 2 connects an HDMI monitor and it runs Debian by default it will set the resolution to HDMI 720P and in this case you can set it to 1080P by modifying your kernel's configuration.
4.4 Update Image Files in MicroSD Card From PC Host
If you want to make some changes to the image files in your MicroSD card please follow steps below otherwise you can skip this section.
Please insert your MicroSD card to a PC host running LINUX, mount the boot and rootfs sections of the SD card and follow the steps below:
1) If you want to change your kernel command line parameters you can do it via the fw_setevn utility under "sd-fuse_nanopi2/tools".
Check the current Command Line:
cd sd-fuse_nanopi2/tools ./fw_printenv /dev/sdc | grep bootargs
Android 5.1.1_r6 starts SELinux. By default it is enforcing. You can change it this way:
./fw_setenv /dev/sdc bootargs XXX androidboot.selinux=permissive
This sets it to "permissive". The "XXX" stands for the original bootargs' value.
2) Update Kernel
Our customized uboot will check the LCD type when it boots.For a non-Android OS If it recognizes an LCD connected to the NanoPi 2 Fire it will load "uImage" from "boot" otherwise it will load "uImage.hdmi".
However for Android these two files don't make any differences for whatever display device it detects. You can use your generated uImage to replace the existing one under "boot".
For Debian if your generated kernel is for LCD you need to replace the existing uImage or if your kernel is for HDMI you need to replace the existing uImage.hdmi.
4.5 运行Android或Debian
- 将制作好microSD卡插入NanoPi M2,连接HDMI,最后连接电源(5V 2A),NanoPi M2会上电自动开机,看到板上的蓝色LED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。
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。
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NanoPi M2进行操作。
- 以下是串口的接法,假如你已经拿到串口,则可直接串口供电,不需要再通过microUSB供电,接上串口,即可调试:
- 如果提示输入密码,Debian的root用户的默认密码是两个字母fa。
4.6 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),你可以使用手机或电脑到这里下载并安装一个名为VNC Viewer的软件,用VNC连接到NanoPi M2,默认密码为:fa123456 。
以下是在iPhone上用VNC登录NanoPi M2的画面:
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 。
5 Debian系统的使用
5.1 连接有线网络
NanoPi M2在加电开机前如果已正确的连接网线,则系统启动时会自动获取IP地址,如果没有连接网线、没有DHCP服务或是其它网络问题,则会导致获取IP地址失败,同时系统启动会因此等待约15~60秒的时间。
- 1) 配置MAC地址
板子没有提供有效的Ethernet的MAC地址,系统在连接网络时会自动生成一个随机的MAC地址,您可以修改 /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 ,配置一个固定的MAC地址:
vi /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
以下是配置文件的具体内容:
auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress 76:92:d4:85:f3:0f
其中"hwaddress" 就是用来指定MAC地址,"76:92:d4:85:f3:0f"是一个随机生成的地址,为防止冲突导致网络问题,请修改为一个不同的且有效的地址。
需要注意的一点是,MAC地址必须符合IEEE的规则,请不要随意指定,否则会出现无法获取IP地址、无法上网等问题。
修改完配置文件并保存后,可重启板子或直接下列命令重启网络服务:
systemctl restart networking
5.2 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:
apt-get update
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:
apt-get install vsftpd
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[1]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。
6 如何编译系统
6.1 安装交叉编译器
首先下载并解压编译器:
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/
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:
export PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/bin:$PATH export GCC_COLORS=auto
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:
. ~/.bashrc
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:
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)
6.2 编译U-Boot
下载U-Boot源代码并编译,注意分支是nanopi2-lollipop-mr1:
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-
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NanoPi M2板上SD的U-Boot,方法如下:
1) 在电脑上先用命令 sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot 安装 fastboot 工具;
2) 用串口配件连接NanoPi M2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;
3) 在u-boot 命令行模式下输入命令 fastboot 回车,进入 fastboot 模式;
4) 用microUSB线连接NanoPi M2和电脑,在电脑上输入以下命令烧写u-boot.bin:
fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
注意:不建议直接使用dd来更新SD卡,否则有可能会导致无法正常启动。
6.3 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。
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:
cd uboot_nanopi2 make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- tools sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin && sudo cp -v tools/mkimage /usr/local/sbin
6.4 编译Linux kernel
6.4.1 编译内核
- 下载内核源代码
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git cd linux-3.4.y git checkout nanopi2-lollipop-mr1
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
make nanopi2_android_defconfig touch .scmversion make uImage
- 编译Debian内核
make nanopi2_linux_defconfig touch .scmversion make uImage
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。
如果要支持HDMI 1080p,则需要修改内核配置:
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
使用新生成的uImage替换掉SD卡boot分区下的uImage.hdmi即可获得HDMI 1080p输出。
如果要编译支持LCD显示的内核,则需要修改内核配置:
touch .scmversion make nanopi2_linux_defconfig make menuconfig Device Drivers --> Graphics support --> Nexell Graphics --> [*] LCD [ ] HDMI make uImage
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。
6.4.2 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。
首先编译内核源代码中的模块:
cd linux-3.4.y make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- modules
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:
cd /opt/FriendlyARM/s5p4418/android ./vendor/friendly-arm/build/common/build-modules.sh
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。
编译成功结束后,会显示生成的内核模块。
6.5 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。
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
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 。
mkdir android && cd android repo init -u https://github.com/friendlyarm/android_manifest.git -b nanopi2-lollipop-mr1 repo sync
其中“android”是指工作目录。
- 编译系统
source build/envsetup.sh lunch aosp_nanopi2-userdebug make -j8
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。
7 扩展连接
7.1 连接USB(FA-CAM202)200万摄像头模块
- NanoPi M2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。
7.2 连接CMOS 500万摄像头模块
- NanoPi M2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。
7.3 连接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。
- NanoPi M2跑Debian系统时,接USB Camera,可直接使用官方的OpenCV。
1、以下介绍的是NanoPi M2用C++使用的OpenCV:
- 首先需要保证你的NanoPi M2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:
apt-get update apt-get install libcv-dev libopencv-dev
2、NanoPi M2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。
3、通过终端执行命令,查看你的摄像头设备:
ls /dev/video*
- 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:
cd /home/fa/Documents/opencv-demo make
编译成功后,得到可执行文件demo
5、这里特别说明:目前NanoPi M2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,所以这里需要临时删除一个video设备,以下命令则是删除video0:
rm /dev/video0 mv /dev/video9 /dev/video0
6、以下步骤需要在NanoPi M2上连接键盘后执行:
./demo
