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:
Matrix-Compact_Kit_nanopi2

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:
matrix-cpt_kit_result_lcd

5.5 Access LED

LED CPU GPIO linux ID
LED1 GPIOC10 74
LED2 GPIOC9 73
LED3 GPIOC11 75
LED4 GPIOC12 76

We took LED1 as an example. Please 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 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.

5.7 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:
matrix-cpt_kit_result_ad

5.8 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:
matrix-cpt_kit_result_cps

5.9 测试温度传感器

参考下图连接模块Matrix-Compact_Kit和温度传感器DS18B20:
Matrix-Compact_Kit_ds18b20

执行以下命令操作温度传感器:

$ cd /modules
$ insmod w1-gpio.ko
$ insmod w1_gpio_board gpio=72
$ matrix-temp_sensor

gpio=92表示使用引脚GPIOC8,72是该引脚在Linux里的索引号。
运行效果如下:
matrix-temperature_sensor_result

5.10 测试红外接收头

参考下图连接模块Matrix-Compact_Kit和红外接收头VS1833B:
Matrix-Compact_Kit_vs1833b

执行以下命令操作红外接收头:

$ cd /modules
$ insmod matrix_ir_recv.ko gpio=92

gpio=92表示使用引脚GPIOC28,92是该引脚在Linux里的索引号。
成功加载驱动后,会在/dev/input/目录下生成一个event设备节点,这里假设生成的设备节点为event1。

开源软件input-utils可以读取event设备的数据,它的使用方法如下:

$ apt-get install input-utils
$ input-events 1

1表示读设备节点event1。

用一个普通的遥控器往模块发送数据,可看到运行效果如下:
matrix-ir_receiver_result

5.11 通过Python控制

使用的Python版本为2.7.9。
在NanoPi2上直接克隆Matrix配件Python相关的代码仓库

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix-python.git

克隆完成后会得到一个名为matrix-python的目录。

控制LED:

$ cd matrix-python/Matrix.GPIO
$ python setup.py install
$ python test/matrix_output.py 33

可以看到红色LED闪烁了一下。

读按键KEY1:

$ cd matrix-python/Matrix.GPIO
$ python setup.py install
$ python test/matrix_input.py 36

当KEY1按下时value=0,KEY1弹起时value=1。

测试AD转换:

$ cd matrix-python/modules
$ insmod pcf8591.ko
$ cd ../Matrix.pcf8591
$ python setup.py install
$ python test/matrix_adc.py

通过旋转可调电阻可以改变AD转换值。

测试指南针:

$ cd matrix-python/Matrix.I2C
$ python setup.py install
$ python test/matrix_compass.py

通过改变开发板的朝向可以获得不同的方向值。
