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
5.1 Hardware Connection
Refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Compact_Kit to the NanoPi 2:
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, 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 Access LED
| LED | CPU GPIO | linux ID |
| LED1 | GPIOC10 | 74 |
| LED2 | GPIOC9 | 73 |
| LED3 | GPIOC11 | 75 |
| LED4 | GPIOC12 | 76 |
We used LED1 as an example. Run the following commands to access LED1:
$ cd /sys/class/gpio/ $ echo 74 > export $ echo out > gpio74/direction $ echo 1 > gpio74/value
1 indicates LED on and 0 indicates LED1 off.
5.6 Test Key
| Key | CPU GPIO | linux ID |
| KEY1 | GPIOC7 | 71 |
| KEY2 | ALIVEGPIO2 | 162 |
| KEY3 | ALIVEGPIO3 | 163 |
We used 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.
5.7 Test AD
Run the following command to get Channel 0's value:
$ matrix-adcWhen you turn the resistor the AD value will change. Here is what you should expect:
5.8 Test Compass
Run the following command to activate the compass:
$ matrix-compassWhen you change the module's direction you will get a changing value. Here is what you should expect:
5.9 Test Temperature Sensor
Refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Compact_Kit to the DS18B20 temperature sensor:
Run the following commands:
$ cd /modules $ insmod w1-gpio.ko $ insmod w1-gpio-board gpio=72 $ matrix-temp_sensor
gpio=72 means pin GPIOC8 is used. 72 is the index number in Linux.
Here is what you should expect:
5.10 Test IR Receiver
Refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Compact_Kit to the VS1833B IR receiver:
Run the following commands:
$ cd /modules $ insmod matrix_ir_recv.ko gpio=92
gpio=92 means pin GPIOC28 is used. 92 is the index number in Linux.
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:
5.11 Code Samples in Python
The Python version is 2.7.9 in the following samples
Please install the Python libraries and modules:
$ apt-get install Python-dev $ apt-get install libi2c-dev
Please get the python code from our github:
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix-python.git
After it is done a matrix-python directory will be generated.
Access LED：
$ cd matrix-python/Matrix.GPIO $ python setup.py install $ python test/matrix_output.py 33
The red LED will be flashing.
Read KEY1：
$ cd matrix-python/Matrix.GPIO $ python setup.py install $ python test/matrix_input.py 36
When you press KEY1 "value" will be set to 0. When you release KEY1 "value" will be set to 1.
Test AD:
$ cd matrix-python/modules $ insmod pcf8591.ko $ cd ../Matrix.pcf8591 $ python setup.py install $ python test/matrix_adc.py
When you change the resistor AD value will be changed accordingly.
Test Compass:
$ cd matrix-python/Matrix.I2C $ python setup.py install $ python test/matrix_compass.py
When you rotate the compass you will get changing direction values
