Matrix - Compact Kit
Contents
1 Introduction
- The Matrix-Compact Kit is a compact board with various hardware resources, interfaces and ports including user button, LED, buzzer, ADC, compass, temperature sensor, IR receiver, TFT port and etc. This board can be connected to the NanoPi, NanoPi 2 and Raspberry Pi via its 40 pin header. In addition you can connect other external modules to its GPIOs.

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;
Please 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
5.1 Hardware Connection
Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Compact_Kit to the NanoPi 2:
5.2 Compile Test Program
Please login 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: please 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
5.3 Copy Test Program
Please insert a TF card which is flashed with Debian to a Linux host and mount its boot and rootfs sections.
We assume the rootfs is mounted to /media/rootfs then please 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 测试LCD显示
将SD卡重新插入NanoPi 2,上电启动,在Debian的shell终端中执行以下命令。
$ cd /modules $ insmod fbtft_device.ko name=matrix-st7735s gpios=dc:58,reset:63,cs:59 $ sudo FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb-st7735s startx &
fbtft_device是LCD驱动,成功加载驱动后,可以看到LCD被清屏。
startx命令会将1寸屏作为桌面显示设备,运行效果如下:
5.5 测试AD转换
执行以下命令获得Channel 0的AD转换值:
$ matrix-adc
5.6 测试指南针
执行以下命令获得当前方向:
$ matrix-compass
5.7 读按键值
按键 | CPU GPIO | linux索引号 |
KEY1 | GPIOC7 | 71 |
KEY2 | ALIVEGPIO2 | 162 |
KEY3 | ALIVEGPIO3 | 163 |
以KEY1为例,执行以下命令读取按键值:
$ cd /sys/class/gpio/ $ echo 71 > export $ echo in > gpio71/direction $ cat gpio71/value
当KEY1按下时value=0,KEY1弹起时value=1。
5.8 控制LED
LED | CPU GPIO | linux索引号 |
LED1 | GPIOC10 | 74 |
LED2 | GPIOC9 | 73 |
LED3 | GPIOC11 | 75 |
LED4 | GPIOC12 | 76 |
以LED1为例,执行以下命令控制LED:
$ cd /sys/class/gpio/ $ echo 74 > export $ echo out > gpio74/direction $ echo 1 > gpio74/value
1表示点亮LED1,0表示熄灭LED1。
