查看中文

1 Introduction

• The Matrix-Compact Kit is a compact board with various hardware resources, interfaces and ports including user keys, 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.

2 Features

Matrix - Compact Kit has the following onboard resources:

• 0.9 TFT LCD

• 3 x tact switch

• 4 x 5mm LED

• Buzzer

• ADC

• Sliding rheostat

• 40 pin female connector

• 4 pin header - I2C interface

• 4 pin header - UART interface

• 3 pin double row pin-header - 3.3V and GND

• 18B20 temperature sensor

• IR receiver

• 10 x 3 pin header - 3 x AIO, 7 x DIO (two of them can be configured to PWM and four of them can be configured to SPI)

• Compass

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 Test LCD

Insert this TF card to your NanoPi 2, 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 AD

Please run the following command to get Channel 0's value:

$ matrix-adc

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

5.6 Test Compass

Please run the following command to activate the compass:

$ matrix-compass

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

5.7 Test Key

Key	CPU GPIO	linux ID
KEY1	GPIOC7	71
KEY2	ALIVEGPIO2	162
KEY3	ALIVEGPIO3	163

We took KEY1 as an example. Running the following commands reads its value:

$ cd /sys/class/gpio/
$ echo 71 > export
$ echo in > gpio71/direction
$ cat gpio71/value

After you press KEY1 the value will be 0. After it is released the value will be 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。
