+
==Ubuntu-Core with Qt-Embedded系统的使用==
+
===运行Ubuntu-Core with Qt-Embedded系统===
+
* 如果您需要进行内核开发,你最好选购一个串口配件,连接了串口,则可以通过串口终端对NanoPi NEO2进行操作。以下是串口配件的接法,接上串口,即可调试。接上串口后你可以选择从串口模块的DC口或者从NEO2的MicroUSB口进行供电:
+
[[File:PSU-ONECOM-NEO2.jpg|frameless|400px|PSU-ONECOM-NEO2]]<br>
+
也可以使用USB转串口模块调试,请注意需要使用5V/2A电源从NanoPi NEO2的MicroUSB口给NEO2供电:<br>
+
[[File:USB2UART-NEO2.jpg|frameless|400px|USB2UART-NEO2]]
+
* Ubuntu-Core默认帐户:
+
普通用户:
+
    用户名: pi
+
    密码: pi
+
 
+
Root用户:
+
    用户名: root
+
    密码: fa
+
 
+
默认会以 pi 用户自动登录,你可以使用 sudo npi-config 命令取消自动登录。
+
 
+
* 更新软件包:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
sudo apt-get update
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===使用npi-config配置系统===
+
npi-config是一个命令行下的系统配置工具,可以对系统进行一些初始化的配置,可配置的项目包括:用户密码、系统语言、时区、Hostname、SSH开关、自动登录选项等,在命令行执行以下命令即可进入:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
sudo npi-config
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
npi-config的显示界面如下所示:<br />
+
[[File:npi-config.jpg|frameless|500px|npi-config]]<br />
+
 
+
 
+
===连接有线网络===
+
NanoPi NEO2在加电开机前如果已正确的连接网线,则系统启动时会自动获取IP地址,如果没有连接网线、没有DHCP服务或是其它网络问题,则会导致获取IP地址失败,同时系统启动会因此等待约15~60秒的时间。
+
手动获取IP地址
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
dhclient eth0
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===SSH登录===
+
NEO2没有任何图形界面输出的接口,如果你没有串口模块,可以通过SSH协议登录NEO2。假设通过路由器查看到NEO2的IP地址为192.168.1.230,你可以在PC机上执行如下命令登录NEO2:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
ssh root@192.168.1.230
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
密码为fa。
+
 
+
===扩展TF卡文件系统===
+
第一次启动系统时,系统会自动扩展文件系统分区,请耐心等待,TF卡的容量越大,需要等待的时间越长,进入系统后执行下列命令查看文件系统分区大小:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
df -h
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
===连接USB WiFi===
+
系统默认已经支持市面上众多常见的USB WiFi,想知道你的USB WiFi是否可用只需将其接在NEO2上即可,已测试过的USB WiFi型号如下:
+
::{| class="wikitable"
+

|}
 
|}
NanoPi NEO2 上电启动并插入上USB WiFi后,通过串口登录到系统,敲入以下命令可以查看到系统是否识别到USB WiFi,如果出现“wlan0”,则证明USB WiFi已被识别到:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
sudo ifconfig -a
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
  
用vi打开文件 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: <br />
+
{{BurnOS-Allwinner|NanoPi-NEO2}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
在文件末尾填入路由器信息如下所示:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
network={
+
        ssid="YourWiFiESSID"
+
        psk="YourWiFiPassword"
+
}
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
其中,YourWiFiESSID和YourWiFiPassword请替换成你要连接的无线AP名称和密码。<br />
+
保存退出后,执行以下命令即可连接WiFi: <br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
$ sudo ifdown wlan0
+
$ sudo ifup wlan0
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
 
+
如果你的WiFi密码中有特殊字符,或者你不希望明文存放密码,你可以使用wpa_passphrase命令为WiFi密码生成一个密钥(psk),用密钥来代替密码 ,在命令行下,可输入以下命令生成密钥: <br />
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
$ sudo wpa_passphrase YourWiFiESSID
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
在提示输入密码时,输入你的WiFi密码,再打开 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 文件你会发现密钥已经被更新,你可以删除明文的密码了。
+
 
+
===连接USB摄像头模块(FA-CAM202)使用===
+
[[File:USB-Camera-NanoPi-NEO2.png|frameless|500px|USB camera]]<br/>
+
FA-CAM202是一款200万像素的USB摄像头模块,参考维基[[Matrix - USB_Camera(FA-CAM202)/zh|Matrix - USB_Camera(FA-CAM202)]]
+
启动系统,连接网络,以root用户登录终端并编译运行mjpg-streamer:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
cd /root/mjpg-streamer
+
make
+
./start.sh
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
mjpg-streamer是一个开源的网络视频流服务器,在板子上成功运行mjpg-streamer后会打印下列信息:
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
+
i: Using V4L2 device.: /dev/video0
+
i: Desired Resolution: 1280 x 720
+
i: Frames Per Second.: 30
+
i: Format............: YUV
+
i: JPEG Quality......: 90
+
o: www-folder-path...: ./www/
+
o: HTTP TCP port.....: 8080
+
o: username:password.: disabled
+
o: commands..........: enabled
+
</syntaxhighlight>
+
  
假设NEO2的IP地址为192.168.1.123,在PC的浏览器中输入 192.168.1.123:8080 就能浏览摄像头采集的画面了,效果如下:<br>

==如何编译Ubuntu-Core with Qt-Embedded系统==
+
===Use Allwinner's BSP===
===准备工作===
+
====Preparations====
访问此处[https://pan.baidu.com/s/1eRDbeG6 下载地址]的sources/nanopi-h5-bsp目录,下载所有压缩文件,使用7-Zip工具解压后得到lichee目录,如下:
+
Visit this link [http://download.friendlyelec.com/nanopineo2 download link] and enter the "sources/nanopi-H5-bsp" directory and download all the source code.Use the 7-zip utility to extract it and a lichee directory and an Android directory will be generated.You can check that by running the following command:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
ls ./
+
$ ls ./
lichee
+
$ lichee
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
  
也可以从github上克隆lichee源码:
+
Or you can get it from our github:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/h5_lichee.git lichee
+
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/h5_lichee.git lichee --depth 1
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
注:lichee是全志为其CPU的板级支持包所起的项目名称,里面包含了U-boot,Linux等源码和众多的编译脚本。
+
Note: "lichee" is the project name named by Allwinner for its CPU's source code which contains the source code of U-boot, Linux kernel and various scripts.
  
===安装交叉编译器===
+
====Install Cross Compiler====
访问此处[https://pan.baidu.com/s/1eRDbeG6 下载地址]的toolchain目录,下载压缩包gcc-linaro-arm-4.6.3.tar.xz和gcc-linaro-aarch64.tar.xz。<br>
+
Visit this site [http://download.friendlyelec.com/nanopineo2 download link], enter the "toolchain" directory, download the cross compiler "gcc-linaro-arm-4.6.3.tar.xz" and "gcc-linaro-aarch64.tar.xz" and copy them to the "lichee/brandy/toochain/" directory.<br>  
其中gcc-linaro-arm-4.6.3.tar.xz用于编译U-boot,gcc-linaro-aarch64.tar.xz用于编译Linux内核。下载完成后,将它们拷贝到源码lichee/brandy/toochain/目录下即可。
+
"gcc-linaro-arm-4.6.3.tar.xz"is for compiling u-boot and "gcc-linaro-aarch64.tar.xz" is for compiling Linux kernel.
后面编译U-boot或者Linux内核时,编译脚本会自动解压并使用这两个编译器进行编译。
+
  
===编译lichee源码===
+
====Compile lichee Source Code====
编译全志 H5 的BSP源码包必须使用64bit的Linux PC系统,并安装下列软件包,下列操作均基于Ubuntu-14.04 LTS-64bit:
+
Compilation of the H5's BSP source code must be done under a PC running a 64-bit Linux.The following cases were tested on Ubuntu-14.04 LTS-64bit:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install gawk git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
+
$ sudo apt-get install gawk git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
 
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
 
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
 
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
 
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
Line 370: Line 292:
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
  
编译lichee源码包,执行命令:
+
Enter the lichee directory and run the following command to compile the whole package:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd lichee/fa_tools
+
$ cd lichee/fa_tools
./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t all
+
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t all
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
该命令会一次性编译好U-boot、Linux内核和模块。<br>
+
After this compilation succeeds a u-boot, Linux kernel and kernel modules will be generated.<br>
lichee目录里内置了交叉编译器,当进行源码编译时,会自动使用该内置的编译器,所以无需手动安装编译器。
+
Note: the lichee directory contains cross-compilers we have setup. When the build.sh script runs it will automatically call these cross-compilers.
  
下列命令可以更新TF卡上的U-boot:
+
The following commands can be used to update the u-boot on an installation TF card:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd lichee/fa_tools/
+
$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
./fuse.sh -d /dev/sdx -p linux -t u-boot
+
$ ./fuse.sh -d /dev/sdx -p linux -t u-boot
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
/dev/sdx请替换为实际的TF卡设备文件名。<br>
+
Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system.<br>
内核boot.img和驱动模块均位于linux-3.10/output目录下,将boot.img拷贝到TF卡的boot分区的根目录即可更新内核。
+
The boot.img and kernel modules are under the "linux-3.10/output" directory. You can copy the new boot.img file to your TF card's boot partition.
  
===编译U-boot===
+
====Compile U-boot====
如果你想单独编译U-boot,可以执行命令:
+
Note:you need to compile the whole lichee directory before you can compile U-boot individually.<br>
 +
You can run the following commands to compile u-boot individually:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd lichee/fa_tools/
+
$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t u-boot
+
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t u-boot
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
  
===编译Linux内核===
+
====Compile Linux Kernel====
如果你想单独编译Linux内核,可以执行命令:
+
Note:you need to compile the whole lichee directory before you can compile Linux kernel individually.<br>
 +
You can run the following commands to compile Linux kernel individually:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd lichee/fa_tools/
+
$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t kernel
+
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t kernel
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
</syntaxhighlight>
编译完成后内核boot.img和驱动模块均位于linux-3.10/output目录下,将boot.img拷贝到TF卡的boot分区的根目录即可。
+
The boot.img and kernel modules are under the "linux-3.10/output" directory. You can copy the new boot.img file to your TF card's boot partition.
  
===清理lichee源码===
+
====Clean Source Code====

6 Work with FriendlyCore

6.1 Introduction

FriendlyCore is a light Linux system without X-windows, based on ubuntu core, It uses the Qt-Embedded's GUI and is popular in industrial and enterprise applications.

Besides the regular Ubuntu Core's features FriendlyCore has the following additional features:

  • it integrates Qt4.8;
  • it integrates NetworkManager;
  • it has bluez and Bluetooth related packages;
  • it has alsa packages;
  • it has npi-config;
  • it has RPiGPIO, a Python GPIO module;
  • it has some Python/C demo in /root/ directory;
  • it enables 512M-swap partition;

6.2 System Login

  • If your board is connected to an HDMI monitor you need to use a USB mouse and keyboard.
  • If you want to do kernel development you need to use a serial communication board, ie a PSU-ONECOM board, which will

allow you to operate the board via a serial terminal.Here is a setup where we connect a board to a PC via the PSU-ONECOM and you can power on your board from either the PSU-ONECOM or its MicroUSB: PSU-ONECOM-NEO2.jpg
You can use a USB to Serial conversion board too.
Make sure you use a 5V/2A power to power your board from its MicroUSB port:
USB2UART-NEO2.jpg

  • FriendlyCore User Accounts:

Non-root User:

   User Name: pi
   Password: pi

Root:

   User Name: root
   Password: fa

The system is automatically logged in as "pi". You can do "sudo npi-config" to disable auto login.

  • Update packages
$ sudo apt-get update

6.3 Configure System with npi-config

The npi-config is a commandline utility which can be used to initialize system configurations such as user password, system language, time zone, Hostname, SSH switch , Auto login and etc. Type the following command to run this utility.

$ sudo npi-config

Here is how npi-config's GUI looks like:
npi-config

6.4 Develop Qt Application

Please refer to: How to Build and Install Qt Application for FriendlyELEC Boards

6.5 Setup Program to AutoRun

You can setup a program to autorun on system boot with npi-config:

sudo npi-config

Go to Boot Options -> Autologin -> Qt/Embedded, select Enable and reboot.

6.6 Extend TF Card's Section

When FriendlyCore is loaded the TF card's section will be automatically extended.You can check the section's size by running the following command:

$ df -h


6.7 WiFi

For either an SD WiFi or a USB WiFi you can connect it to your board in the same way. The APXX series WiFi chips are SD WiFi chips. By default FriendlyElec's system supports most popular USB WiFi modules. Here is a list of the USB WiFi modules we tested:

Index Model
1 RTL8188CUS/8188EU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
2 RT2070 Wireless Adapter
3 RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
4 RTL8192CU Wireless Adapter
5 mi WiFi mt7601
6 5G USB WiFi RTL8821CU
7 5G USB WiFi RTL8812AU

You can use the NetworkManager utility to manage network. You can run "nmcli" in the commandline utility to start it. Here are the commands to start a WiFi connection:

  • Change to root
$ su root
  • Check device list
$ nmcli dev

Note: if the status of a device is "unmanaged" it means that device cannot be accessed by NetworkManager. To make it accessed you need to clear the settings under "/etc/network/interfaces" and reboot your system.

  • Start WiFi
$ nmcli r wifi on
  • Scan Surrounding WiFi Sources
$ nmcli dev wifi
  • Connect to a WiFi Source
$ nmcli dev wifi connect "SSID" password "PASSWORD" ifname wlan0

The "SSID" and "PASSWORD" need to be replaced with your actual SSID and password.If you have multiple WiFi devices you need to specify the one you want to connect to a WiFi source with iface
If a connection succeeds it will be automatically setup on next system reboot.

For more details about NetworkManager refer to this link: Use NetworkManager to configure network settings

If your USB WiFi module doesn't work most likely your system doesn't have its driver. For a Debian system you can get a driver from Debian-WiFi and install it on your system. For a Ubuntu system you can install a driver by running the following commands:

$ apt-get install linux-firmware

In general all WiFi drivers are located at the "/lib/firmware" directory.


6.8 Ethernet Connection

If a board is connected to a network via Ethernet before it is powered on it will automatically obtain an IP with DHCP activated after it is powered up. If you want to set up a static IP refer to: Use NetworkManager to configure network settings

6.9 WiringPi and Python Wrapper

6.10 Custom welcome message

The welcome message is printed from the script in this directory:

/etc/update-motd.d/

For example, to change the FriendlyELEC LOGO, you can change the file /etc/update-motd.d/10-header. For example, to change the LOGO to HELLO, you can change the following line:

TERM=linux toilet -f standard -F metal $BOARD_VENDOR

To:

TERM=linux toilet -f standard -F metal HELLO

6.11 Modify timezone

For exampe, change to Shanghai timezone:

sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

6.12 Set Audio Device

If your system has multiple audio devices such as HDMI-Audio, 3.5mm audio jack and I2S-Codec you can set system's default audio device by running the following commands.

  • After your board is booted run the following commands to install alsa packages:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install libasound2
$ apt-get install alsa-base
$ apt-get install alsa-utils
  • After installation is done you can list all the audio devices by running the following command. Here is a similar list you may see after you run the command:
$ aplay -l
card 0: HDMI
card 1: 3.5mm codec
card 2: I2S codec

"card 0" is HDMI-Audio, "card 1" is 3.5mm audio jack and "card 2" is I2S-Codec. You can set default audio device to HDMI-Audio by changing the "/etc/asound.conf" file as follows:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
}
 
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

If you change "card 0" to "card 1" the 3.5mm audio jack will be set to the default device.
Copy a .wav file to your board and test it by running the following command:

$ aplay /root/Music/test.wav

You will hear sounds from system's default audio device.
If you are using H3/H5/H2+ series board with mainline kernel, the easier way is using npi-config



6.13 Connect to USB Camera(FA-CAM202)

The FA-CAM202 is a 200M USB camera. You can refer to <Connect DVP Camera (CAM500B) to Board> on how to connect a USB camera to a board.
You need to change the start.sh script and make sure it uses a correct /dev/videoX node. You can check your FA-CAM202's node by running the following commands:

$ apt-get install v4l-utils
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -D
Driver Info (not using libv4l2):
        Driver name   : uvcvideo
        Card type     : HC 3358+2100: HC 3358+2100
        Bus info      : usb-1c1b000.usb-1
	...

Information above indicates that /dev/video1 is the device node of the FA-CAM 202.

6.14 Check CPU's Working Temperature

You can get CPU's working temperature by running the following command:

$ cpu_freq
CPU0 online=1 temp=26581 governor=ondemand cur_freq=480000
CPU1 online=1 temp=26581 governor=ondemand cur_freq=480000
CPU2 online=1 temp=26581 governor=ondemand cur_freq=480000
CPU3 online=1 temp=26581 governor=ondemand cur_freq=480000

This message means there are currently four CPUs working. All of their working temperature is 26.5 degree in Celsius and each one's clock is 480MHz.

6.15 Test Watchdog

You can test watchdog by running the following commands:

$ cd /root/demo/watchdog/
$ gcc watchdog_demo.c -o watchdog_demo
$ ./watchdog_demo /dev/watchdog0 10
Set timeout: 10 seconds
Get timeout: 10 seconds
System will reboot in 10 second

System will reboot in 10 seconds.

6.16 Test Infrared Receiver

Note: Please Check your board if IR receiver exist.
By default the infrared function is disabled you can enable it by using the npi-config utility:

$ npi-config
    6 Advanced Options     Configure advanced settings
        A8 IR              Enable/Disable IR
            ir Enable/Disable ir[enabled]

Reboot your system and test its infrared function by running the following commands:

$ apt-get install ir-keytable
$ echo "+rc-5 +nec +rc-6 +jvc +sony +rc-5-sz +sanyo +sharp +mce_kbd +xmp" > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols   # Enable infrared
$ ir-keytable -t
Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.

"ir-keytable -t" is used to check whether the receiver receives infrared signals. You can use a remote control to send infrared signals to the receiver. If it works you will see similar messages as follows:

7 Work with OpenWrt

7.1 Introduction

OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices.Unlike many other distributions for routers, OpenWrt is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for embedded devices. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a modern Linux kernel. For more details you can refer to:OpenWrt Website.

7.2 System Login

  • Login via Serial Port

When you do kernel development you'd better get a serial communication board. After you connect your board to a serial communication board you will be able to do development work from a commandline utility.
Here is a hardware setup:
After you connect your board to a serial communication board (e.g. FriendlyElec's serial communication board) you can power the whole system from either the DC port on the serial communication board or the MicroUSB port(if there is one) on your board:
PSU-ONECOM-NEO2.jpg

or you can use a USB to serial board and power on the whole system at the MicroUSB port with a 5V/2A power:
USB2UART-NEO2.jpg

By default you will login as root without a password. You can use "passwd" to set a password for root.
op_login
On first boot the system will automatically extend the file system on the TF card to the max capacity:
resize_rootfs_userdata
Please wait for this to be done.

  • Login via SSH

In FriendlyElec's OpenWrt system the Ethernet(eth0) is configured as WAN.
Before power on your board make sure your board is connected to a master router's LAN with an Ethernet cable and the eth0 will be assigned an IP address by DHCP.
For example, if your eth0 is assigned an IP address 192.168.1.163 you can login with SSH by running the following command:

$ ssh root@192.168.1.163

You can login without a password.

  • Login via Web

You can login OpenWrt via a LuCI Web page.
After you go through all the steps in <Login via SSH> and get an IP address e.g. 192.168.1.163 for the Ethernet connection, type this IP address in a browser's address bar and you will be able to login OpenWrt-LuCI:
R1-OpenWrt-LuCI
By default you will login as root without a password, just click on "Login" to login.

7.3 Manage Software Packages

OpenWrt has a package management utility: opkg. You can get its details by running the following command:

$ opkg
Package Manipulation:
        update                  Update list of available packages

9 Make Your Own FriendlyCore

9.1 Mainline U-boot & Linux(64 bit)

Now the NanoPi NEO2 can run a 64-bit Linux kernel with 64-bit Ubuntu Core 16.04. Here is a detailed reference on how to run mainline U-boot and Linux on H5: Mainline U-boot & Linux

9.2 Use Allwinner's BSP

9.2.1 Preparations

Visit this link download link and enter the "sources/nanopi-H5-bsp" directory and download all the source code.Use the 7-zip utility to extract it and a lichee directory and an Android directory will be generated.You can check that by running the following command:

$ ls ./
$ lichee

Or you can get it from our github:

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/h5_lichee.git lichee --depth 1

Note: "lichee" is the project name named by Allwinner for its CPU's source code which contains the source code of U-boot, Linux kernel and various scripts.

9.2.2 Install Cross Compiler

Visit this site download link, enter the "toolchain" directory, download the cross compiler "gcc-linaro-arm-4.6.3.tar.xz" and "gcc-linaro-aarch64.tar.xz" and copy them to the "lichee/brandy/toochain/" directory.
"gcc-linaro-arm-4.6.3.tar.xz"is for compiling u-boot and "gcc-linaro-aarch64.tar.xz" is for compiling Linux kernel.

9.2.3 Compile lichee Source Code

Compilation of the H5's BSP source code must be done under a PC running a 64-bit Linux.The following cases were tested on Ubuntu-14.04 LTS-64bit:

$ sudo apt-get install gawk git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386

Enter the lichee directory and run the following command to compile the whole package:

$ cd lichee/fa_tools
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t all

After this compilation succeeds a u-boot, Linux kernel and kernel modules will be generated.
Note: the lichee directory contains cross-compilers we have setup. When the build.sh script runs it will automatically call these cross-compilers.

The following commands can be used to update the u-boot on an installation TF card:

$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
$ ./fuse.sh -d /dev/sdx -p linux -t u-boot

Note: you need to replace "/dev/sdx" with the device name in your system.
The boot.img and kernel modules are under the "linux-3.10/output" directory. You can copy the new boot.img file to your TF card's boot partition.

9.2.4 Compile U-boot

Note:you need to compile the whole lichee directory before you can compile U-boot individually.
You can run the following commands to compile u-boot individually:

$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t u-boot

9.2.5 Compile Linux Kernel

Note:you need to compile the whole lichee directory before you can compile Linux kernel individually.
You can run the following commands to compile Linux kernel individually:

$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t kernel

The boot.img and kernel modules are under the "linux-3.10/output" directory. You can copy the new boot.img file to your TF card's boot partition.

9.2.6 Clean Source Code

$ cd lichee/fa_tools/
$ ./build.sh -b nanopi-neo2 -p linux -t clean
