4 Download Matrix Source Code

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - git://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 nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
• the tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412
• the 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 git://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

5.1 Preparations

Please install a Debian on a NanoPi and an appropriate cross compiler on a PC. Please refer to wiki:NanoPi
Compile a NanoPi kernel. Note: please use the kernel's source code from the nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix branch.

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-4.x.y.git
$ cd linux-4.x.y
$ git checkout nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix
$ make nanopi_defconfig
$ touch .scmversion
$ make

5.2 Hardware Connection

Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-SPI_TFT to the NanoPi
Matrix-SPI_TFT_nanopi

Connection Details:

Matrix-SPI_TFT	NanoPi

5.3 Load Driver

Power on the NanoPi and run the following command in Debian's terminal to load drivers:

$ modprobe fbtft_device name=matrix-spi_tft gpios=dc:161,reset:162,cs:163
$ modprobe matrix_ads7846

The "fbtft_device" module is the driver for the ili9341 chip and the "matrix_ads7846" module is the driver for the xpt2046 chip.

5.4 Install Package

Please run the following commands in Debian's terminal to install "qtembedded" and "matrix-tslib"

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install qtembedded
$ apt-get install matrix-tslib

The "qtembedded" library is what qt applications rely on and the "matrix-tslib" library is what screen calibration relies on.

5.5 运行测试程序

启动Qt应用程序

$ . /usr/bin/matrix-setqt4env
$ /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.5-arm/examples/tetrix -qws

matrix-setqt4env用于设置环境变量，第一次运行该脚本时，会出现触摸校准的界面，根据提示点击5个点后完成校准。 tetrix是一个qt4编写俄罗斯方块小游戏，点击start按钮后就可以开始娱乐了。
