Start the Orange Pi development board

  1. Insert the burned TF card or eMMC module into the TF card slot of the Orange Pi development board. If the image of SPIFlash+NVMe SSD has been burnt, then there is no need to insert a TF card or eMMC module, just make sure that the NVMe SSD is normally inserted into the development board.
  2. The development board has an HDMI interface, and the development board can be connected to a TV or HDMI display through an HDMI-to-HDMI cable. If you buy an LCD screen, you can also use the LCD screen to display the system interface of the development board. If there is a Type-C to HDMI cable, the system interface of the development board can also be displayed through the Type-C interface.
  3. Connect a USB mouse and keyboard to control the Orange Pi development board.
  4. The development board has an Ethernet port, which can be plugged into a network cable for Internet access.
  5. Connect a high-quality power adapter with a 5V/4A USB Type-C interface.

Remember not to plug in a power adapter with a voltage output greater than 5V, as this will burn out the development board.

Many unstable phenomena during the power-on and start-up process of the system are basically caused by power supply problems, so a reliable power adapter is very important. If you find that there is a phenomenon of continuous restart during the startup process, please replace the power

supply or the Type-C data cable and try again.

The Type-C power port does not support PD negotiation.

In addition, please do not connect the USB interface of the computer to power the development board.

There are two Type-C ports that look the same on the development board. The one next to the network port is the power port, and the other Type-C port has no power supply function. Please don’t connect it wrong.

  1. Then turn on the switch of the power adapter. If everything is normal, you can see the startup screen of the system on the HDMI monitor or LCD screen.

  2. If you want to view the output information of the system through the debugging serial port, please use the serial cable to connect the development board to the computer. For the connection method of the serial port, please refer to the section on how to use the debugging serial port.

How to use the debugging serial port

Connection instruction of debugging serial port

  1. First, you need to prepare a 3.3V USB to TTL module, and then insert the USB interface end of the USB to TTL module into the USB interface of the computer.

For better compatibility, it is recommended to use CH340 USB to TTL module, please do not use CP2102, PL2303 type USB to TTL module.

Before purchasing a USB to TTL module, please confirm that the module supports a baud rate of 1500000.

Network connection test

2.5G Ethernet port test

  1. The development board has two 2.5G Ethernet ports, and the test methods for the two ports are the same. First, insert one end of the network cable into the Ethernet interface of the development board, and connect the other end of the network cable to the router, and ensure that the network is unimpeded.

  2. After the system starts, it will automatically assign an IP address to the Ethernet card through DHCP without any other configuration.

  3. The command to view the IP address in the Linux system of the development board is as follows:

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ip addr show

    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

    inet6 ::1/128 scope host

    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

    2: enP3p49s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000

    link/ether 00:e0:4c:68:00:26 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet 192.168.1.245/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enP3p49s0

    valid_lft 42537sec preferred_lft 42537sec

    inet6 fe80::9005:95ac:b9c0:2beb/64 scope link noprefixroute

    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

    3: enP4p65s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000

    link/ether 00:e0:4c:68:00:27 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet 192.168.1.247/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enP4p65s0

    valid_lft 43179sec preferred_lft 43179sec

    inet6 fe80::62b5:dc5e:728e:39a3/64 scope link noprefixroute

    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

    When using ifconfig to view the IP address, if the following information is prompted, it is because sudo is not added. The correct command is: sudo ifconfig

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ifconfig

    Command 'ifconfig' is available in the following places

    * /sbin/ifconfig

    * /usr/sbin/ifconfig

    The command could not be located because '/sbin:/usr/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.

    This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative privileges associated with your user account.

    ifconfig: command not found

There are three ways to check the IP address after the development board starts:

  1. Connect the HDMI display, then log in to the system and use the ip addr show command to view the IP address
  2. Enter the ip addr show command in the debugging serial terminal to view the IP address
  3. If there is no debugging serial port and no HDMI display, you can also check the IP address of the development board's network port through the router's management interface. However, in this method, some people often cannot see the IP address of the development board normally. If you can't see it, the debug method looks like this:
  1. First check whether the Linux system has started normally. If the three-color light on the development board is flashing, it is generally started normally. If only the red light is on, it means that the system has not started normally;

  2. Check whether the network cable is plugged in tightly, or try another network cable;

  3. Try another router (I have encountered many problems with the router, such as the router cannot assign the IP address normally, or the IP address has been

    assigned normally but cannot be seen in the router);

  4. If there is no router to replace, you can only connect to an HDMI display or use the debugging serial port to check the IP address.

    In addition, it should be noted that the development board DHCP automatically assigns an IP address without any settings.

  1. The command to test the network connectivity is as follows, the ping command can be interrupted through the shortcut key of Ctrl+C

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ping www.baidu.com -I enP4p65s0 #Test command for one of the network ports

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ping www.baidu.com -I enP3p49s0 #Test command of another network port

WIFI connection test

First of all, please note that there is no WIFI module on the Orange Pi 5 Plus development board, and an external PCIe network card or USB network card is required to use the WIFI function.

For instructions on using the external PCIe network card, please refer to the section on how to use the PCIe WIFI6+Bluetooth module.

For instructions on using the external USB network card, please refer to the USB wireless network card test section.

Please do not connect to WIFI by modifying the /etc/network/interfaces configuration file. There will be problems connecting to the WIFI network in this way.

The server image connects to WIFI through commands

When the development board is not connected to Ethernet, not connected to HDMI display, but only connected to the serial port, it is recommended to use the commands demonstrated in this section to connect to the WIFI network. Because nmtui can only display characters in some serial port software (such as minicom), and cannot display the graphical interface normally. Of course, if the development board is connected to an Ethernet or HDMI display, you can also use the commands demonstrated in this section to connect to the WIFI network.

The commands demonstrated below are the default WIFI network device node name wlan0, but the node names of different WIFI modules will be different, please replace it with the actual node name you see, do not copy it.

  1. First log in to the linux system, there are the following three ways

    1. If the development board is connected with a network cable, you > can remotely log in to the Linux system through ssh

    2. If the development board is connected to the debugging serial > port, you can use the serial port terminal to log in to the > Linux system

    3. If the development board is connected to the HDMI display, you > can log in to the linux system through the HDMI display > terminal

  1. First use the nmcli dev wifi command to scan the surrounding WIFI hotspots

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ nmcli dev wifi

  2. Then use the nmcli command to connect to the scanned WIFI hotspot, where:

    1. wifi_name needs to be replaced with the

    2. wifi_passwd needs to be replaced with the password of the > WIFI hotspot you want to connect to

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ nmcli dev wifi connect wifi_name password wifi_passwd

      Device 'wlan0' successfully activated with 'cf937f88-ca1e-4411-bb50-61f402eef293'.

  3. Through the ip addr show wlan0 command, you can view the IP address of wifi

    The device node names of WIFI are not necessarily all wlan0, please refer to what you actually see.

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ip addr show wlan0

How to install wiringOP

Note that wiringOP has been pre-installed in the linux image released by Orange Pi. Unless the code of wiringOP is updated, there is no need to re-download, compile and install, just use it directly.

The storage path of the compiled wiringOP deb package in orangepi-build is:

orangepi-build/external/cache/debs/arm64/wiringpi_x.xx.deb

After entering the system, you can run the gpio readall command. If you can see the following output, it means that wiringOP has been pre-installed and can be used normally.

wiringOP is currently mainly adapted to the functions of setting GPIO port input and output, setting GPIO port output high and low levels, and setting up and down pull-down resistors. Functions such as hardware PWM are not available.

  1. Download the code of wiringOP

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo apt update

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo apt install -y git

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/wiringOP.git -b next

    Note that Orange Pi 5 Plus needs to download the code of the wiringOP next branch, please don't miss the -b next parameter.

    If you have problems downloading the code from GitHub, you can directly use the wiringOP source code that comes with the Linux image, and the storage location is: /usr/src/wiringOP

  2. Compile and install wiringOP

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ cd wiringOP

    orangepi@orangepi:~/wiringOP$ sudo ./build clean

    orangepi@orangepi:~/wiringOP$ sudo ./build

  3. Test the output of the gpio readall command as follows

40 pin interface GPIO, I2C, UART, SPI, CAN and PWM test

40 pin GPIO port test

The linux system released by Orange Pi has a pre-installed blink_all_gpio program, which will set all 28 GPIO ports in the 40 pins to switch between high and low levels continuously.

After running the blink_all_gpio program, when using a multimeter to measure the level of the GPIO port, you will find that the GPIO pin will switch between 0 and 3.3v continuously. Using this program we can test whether the GPIO port is working properly.

The way to run the blink_all_gpio program is as follows:

orangepi@orangepi5plus:~$ sudo blink_all_gpio #Remember to add sudo permission

[sudo] password for orangepi: #A password is required here

  1. There are a total of 28 GPIO ports in the 40 pins of the development board that can be used. The following uses pin 7—the corresponding GPIO is GPIO1_D6——the corresponding wPi number is 2—as an example to demonstrate how to set the high and low levels of the GPIO port

  2. First set the GPIO port to output mode, where the third parameter needs to input the serial number of wPi corresponding to the pin

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio mode 2 out

  3. Then set the GPIO port to output a low level. After setting, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage value of the pin. If it is 0v, it means that the low level is set successfully.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio write 2 0

    Use gpio readall to see that the value (V) of pin 7 has changed to 0

  4. Then set the GPIO port to output a high level. After setting, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage value of the pin. If it is 3.3v, it means that the high level is set successfully.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio write 2 1

    Use gpio readall to see that the value (V) of pin 7 has changed to 1

  5. The setting method of other pins is similar, just modify the serial number of wPi to the corresponding serial number of the pin

How to set the pull-down resistance of pin GPIO port

  1. The following takes pin No. 7—the corresponding GPIO is GPIO1_D6—the corresponding wPi number is 2—as an example to demonstrate how to set the pull-up and pull-down resistance of the GPIO port

  2. First, you need to set the GPIO port to the input mode, and the third parameter needs to be the serial number of the wPi corresponding to the input pin

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio mode 2 in

  3. After setting to input mode, execute the following command to set the GPIO port to pull-up mode

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio mode 2 up

  4. Then enter the following command to read the level of the GPIO port, if the level is 1, it means that the pull-up mode is set successfully

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio read 2

    1

  5. Then execute the following command to set the GPIO port to pull-down mode

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio mode 2 down

  6. Then enter the following command to read the level of the GPIO port, if the level is 0, the pull-down mode is set successfully

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP# gpio read 2

    0

40 pin SPI test

      332x146px

  2. After restarting, enter the system and first check whether there is a spidevx.x device node in the linux system. If it exists, it means that the SPI has been set up and can be used directly.

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls /dev/spidev*

    /dev/spidev0.0 /dev/spidev0.1 /dev/spidev4.0 /dev/spidev4.1

    The above is the result displayed after turning on spi0-m2-cs0-cs1-spidev and spi4-m1-cs0-cs1-spidev.

  3. Then do not short-circuit the MOSI and MISO pins of SPI0 or SPI4, the output result of running spidev_test is as follows, you can see that the data of TX and RX are inconsistent

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev4.0

    or

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev0.0

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls /sys/class/pwm/

    pwmchip0 pwmchip1 pwmchip2

  3. Which pwmchip above corresponds to pwm14? Let’s check the output of the ls /sys/class/pwm/ -l command first, as shown below:

  4. Then it can be known from the table below that the base address of the pwm14 register is febf0020, and then look at the output of the ls /sys/class/pwm/ -l command, you can see that pwmchip2 is linked to febf0020.pwm, so pwm14 corresponds to pwmchip as pwmchip2

    575x287px

  5. Then use the following command to make pwm14 output a 50Hz square wave (please switch to the root user first, and then execute the following command)

root@orangepi:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip2/export

root@orangepi:~# echo 20000000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip2/pwm0/period

40 pin GPIO port test

wiringOP-Python is the same as wiringOP, you can also determine which GPIO pin to operate by specifying the wPi number, because there is no command to check the wPi number in wiringOP-Python, so you can only check the board wPi number and physical Correspondence between pins.

  1. The following takes pin No. 7—the corresponding GPIO is GPIO1_D6—the corresponding wPi number is 2—as an example to demonstrate how to set the high and low levels of the GPIO port

  2. The steps to test directly with the command are as follows:

    1. First set the GPIO port to output mode, where the first > parameter of the pinMode function is the serial number of > the wPi corresponding to the pin, and the second parameter is > the GPIO mode

      root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# python3 -c "import wiringpi; \

      from wiringpi import GPIO; wiringpi.wiringPiSetup() ; \

      wiringpi.pinMode(2, GPIO.OUTPUT) ; "

    2. Then set the GPIO port to output a low level. After setting, you > can use a multimeter to measure the voltage value of the pin. > If it is 0v, it means that the low level is set successfully.

      root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# python3 -c "import wiringpi; \

      from wiringpi import GPIO; wiringpi.wiringPiSetup() ;\

      wiringpi.digitalWrite(2, GPIO.LOW)"

    3. Then set the GPIO port to output a high level. After setting, > you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage value of the > pin. If it is 3.3v, it means that the high level is set > successfully.

      root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# python3 -c "import wiringpi; \

      from wiringpi import GPIO; wiringpi.wiringPiSetup() ;\

      wiringpi.digitalWrite(2, GPIO.HIGH)"

  3. The steps to test in the command line of python3 are as follows:

    1. First use the python3 command to enter the command line mode of > python3

      root@orangepi:~# python3

    2. Then import the python module of wiringpi

      >>> import wiringpi

      >>> from wiringpi import GPIO

    3. Then set the GPIO port to output mode, where the first parameter > of the pinMode function is the serial number of the wPi > corresponding to the pin, and the second parameter is the GPIO > mode

      >>> wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()

      0

      >>> wiringpi.pinMode(2, GPIO.OUTPUT)

    4. Then set the GPIO port to output low level. After setting, you > can use a multimeter to measure the voltage value of the pin. > If it is 0v, it means that the low level is set successfully.

      >>> wiringpi.digitalWrite(2, GPIO.LOW)

    5. Then set the GPIO port to output a high level. After setting, > you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage value of the > pin. If it is 3.3v, it means that the high level is set > successfully.

      >>> wiringpi.digitalWrite(2, GPIO.HIGH)

  4. The method of wiringOP-Python setting GPIO high and low levels in python code can refer to the blink.py test program in the examples below. The blink.py test program will set the voltage of all GPIO ports in the 40 pins of the development board to change continuously.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# cd examples

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python/examples# ls blink.py

    blink.py

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python/examples# python3 blink.py

40 pin SPI test

  1. As can be seen from the figure below, the SPIs available for Orange Pi 5 Plus are SPI0 and SPI4

    575x137px

  2. The corresponding pins of SPI0 and SPI4 in 40pin are shown in the table below. SPI4_M1 and SPI4_M2 can only use one of them at the same time, and they cannot be used at the same time. They are all the same SPI4, but they are connected to different pins. Please don't think that they are two different sets of SPI buses.

SPI0_M2 corresponds to 40pin SPI4_M1 corresponds to 40pin SPI4_M2 corresponds to 40pin
MOSI Pin 19 Pin 12 Pin 8
MISO Pin 21 Pin 31 Pin 10
CLK Pin 23 Pin 35 Pin 22
CS0 Pin 24 Pin 40 Pin 31
CS1 Pin 26 Pin 38 none
dtbo confi guration spi 0-m2-cs0-spidev

spi 0-m2-cs1-spidev

spi0-m2 -cs0-cs1-spidev

spi 4-m1-cs0-spidev

spi 4-m1-cs1-spidev

spi4-m1 -cs0-cs1-spidev

spi4-m 2-cs0-spidev
  1. In the linux system, the SPI in the 40 pin is closed by default, and it needs to be opened manually before it can be used. The detailed steps are as follows:

    1. First run orangepi-config, normal users remember to add > sudo permission

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo orangepi-config

    2. Then select System

      413x191px

    3. Then select Hardware

      419x182px

    4. Then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate to the > position shown in the figure below, and then use the space to > select the SPI configuration you want to open

      415x141px

    5. Then select <Save> to save

      415x120px

    6. Then select <Back>

      414x126px

    7. g. Then select <Reboot> to restart the system to make the > configuration take effect

      293x129px

  2. After restarting, enter the system and first check whether there is a spidevx.x device node in the linux system. If it exists, it means that the SPI has been set up and can be used directly.

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls /dev/spidev*

    /dev/spidev0.0 /dev/spidev0.1 /dev/spidev4.0 /dev/spidev4.1

    The above is the result displayed after turning on spi0-m2-cs0-cs1-spidev and spi4-m1-cs0-cs1-spidev.

  3. Then you can use the spidev_test.py program in the examples to test the loopback function of the SPI. The spidev_test.py program needs to specify the following two parameters:

    1. --channel: Specify the channel number of SPI

    2. --port: specify the port number of SPI

  4. Do not short-circuit the MOSI and MISO pins of the SPI, the output of running spidev_test.py is as follows, you can see that the data of TX and RX are inconsistent

    The x after the --channel and --port parameters needs to be replaced with the channel number of the specific SPI and the port number of the SPI.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# cd examples

root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python/examples# python3 spidev_test.py --channel x --port x

spi mode: 0x0

max speed: 500000 Hz (500 KHz)

Opening device /dev/spidev4.1

TX | FF FF FF FF FF FF 40 00 00 00 00 95 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF F0 0D |......@.......…|

RX | FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF |.............….|

  1. Then use the Dupont wire to short-circuit the MOSI and MISO pins of the SPI, and then run the output of spidev_test.py as follows, you can see that the data sent and received are the same, indicating that the SPI loopback test is normal

    The x after the --channel and --port parameters needs to be replaced with the channel number of the specific SPI and the port number of the SPI.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# cd examples

root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python/examples# python3 spidev_test.py --channel x --port x

spi mode: 0x0

max speed: 500000 Hz (500 KHz)

40 pin I2C test

  1. As can be seen from the table below, the available i2c for Orange Pi 5 Plus is i2c2, i2c4, i2c5 and i2c8, a total of four sets of i2c buses.

    575x137px

  2. 4组I2C总线在40pin中对应的引脚如下表所示。I2C2_M0和I2C2_M4同一时间只The corresponding pins of the 4 groups of I2C buses in 40pin are shown in the table below. I2C2_M0 and I2C2_M4 can only use one of them at the same time, and they cannot be used at the same time. They are all the same I2C2, but they are connected to different pins. Please don’t think that they are two different sets of I2C2 buses.

I2C bus SDA corresponds to 40pin SCL corresponds to 40pin dtbo corresponding configuration
I2C2_M0 Pin 3 Pin 5 i2c2-m0
I2C2_M4 Pin 10 Pin 8 i2c2-m4
I2C4_M3 Pin 22 Pin 32 i2c4-m3
I2C5_M3 Pin 27 Pin 28 i2c5-m3
I2C8_M2 Pin 29 Pin 7 i2c8-m2
  1. In the linux system, the I2C bus in the 40 pin is closed by default, and it needs to be opened manually before it can be used. The detailed steps are as follows:

    1. First run orangepi-config, normal users remember to add > sudo permission

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo orangepi-config

    2. Then select System

      382x176px

    3. Then select Hardware

      385x167px

    4. Then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate to the > position shown in the figure below, and then use the space to > select the I2C configuration you want to open

      381x144px

    5. Then select <Save> to save

      347x100px

    6. Then select <Back>

      325x98px

    7. Then select <Reboot> to restart the system to make the > configuration take effect

      254x112px

  2. After starting the linux system, first confirm that there is a device node corresponding to i2c under /dev

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls /dev/i2c-*

  3. Then connect an i2c device to the i2c pin of the 40 pin connector, here we take the ds1307 RTC module as an example

    124x106px

  4. Then use the i2cdetect -y command, if the address of the connected i2c device can be detected, it means that i2c can be recognized normally.

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 2 #i2c2 command

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 4 #i2c4 command

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 5 #i2c5 command

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo i2cdetect -y 8 #i2c8 command

  5. Then you can run the ds1307.py test program in the wiringOP-Python/examples file to read the time of RTC

    /dev/i2c-x needs to be replaced with the serial number of the specific i2c device node.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python# cd examples

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python/examples# python3 ds1307.py --device "/dev/i2c-x"

UART6_M1 Pin 10 Pin 8 uart6-m1
UART7_M2 Pin 24 Pin 26 uart7-m2
UART8_M1 Pin 40 Pin 35 uart8-m1
  1. In the linux system, the UART in the 40 pins is closed by default, and it needs to be opened manually before it can be used. The detailed steps are as follows:

    1. First run orangepi-config, normal users remember to add > sudo permission

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo orangepi-config

    2. Then select System

      404x186px

    3. Then select Hardware

      336x102px

    7. Then select <Reboot> to restart the system to make the > configuration take effect

      235x103px

  2. After entering the linux system, first confirm whether there is a device node corresponding to uart under /dev

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls /dev/ttyS*

  3. Then start to test the uart interface, first use the DuPont line to short the rx and tx pins of the uart interface to be tested

  4. Then use the serialTest.py program in wiringOP-Python/examples to test the loopback function of the serial port. As shown below, if you can see the print below, it means the serial port communication is normal.

    /dev/ttySX needs to be replaced with the serial number of the specific uart device node.

    root@orangepi:~/wiringOP-Python/examples# python3 serialTest.py --device "/dev/ttySX"

    Out: 0: -> 0

    Out: 1: -> 1

    Out: 2: -> 2

    Out: 3: -> 3

    Out: 4:^C

    exit

Hardware watchdog test

The watchdog_test program is pre-installed in the linux system released by Orange Pi, which can be tested directly.

The method to run the watchdog_test program is as follows:

  1. The second parameter 10 indicates the counting time of the watchdog. If the dog is not fed within this time, the system will restart

  2. We can feed the dog by pressing any key on the keyboard (except ESC). After feeding the dog, the program will print a line of keep alive to indicate that the dog is fed successfully

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo watchdog_test 10

    open success

The method of installing the kernel header file

  1. The linux image released by OPI defaults to the DEB package of the kernel header file. The location is/opt/

    orangepi@orangepi5plus:~$ ls /opt/linux-headers*

    /opt/linux-headers-legacy-rockchip-rk3588_x.x.x_arm64.deb

  2. Use the following command to install the deb package of the kernel header file

    The name of the kernel file deb package needs to be replaced with the actual name, please don’t copy it。

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo dpkg -i /opt/linux-headers-legacy-rockchip-rk3588_1.x.x_arm64.deb

  3. After installation, you can see the folder where the kernel header file is located under the/usr/src

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls /usr/src

    linux-headers-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588

  4. Then you can write a Hello kernel module to test the kernel header file

    1. First write the code of the Hello kernel module, as shown > below:

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ vim hello.c

      #include <linux/init.h>

      #include <linux/module.h>

      static int hello_init(void)

      {

      printk("Hello Orange Pi -- init\n");

      return 0;

      }

      static void hello_exit(void)

      {

      printk("Hello Orange Pi -- exit\n");

      return;

      }

      module_init(hello_init);

      module_exit(hello_exit);

      MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

    2. Then write a makefile file that compiles the Hello kernel > module, as shown below:

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ vim Makefile

      ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)

      obj-m:=hello.o

      else

      KDIR :=/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

      PWD :=$(shell pwd)

      all:

      make -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules

      clean:

      rm -f *.ko *.o *.mod.o *.mod *.symvers *.cmd *.mod.c *.order

      endif

    3. Then use the make command to compile the Hello kernel module, > and the output of the compilation process is shown below:

      If you compile the code you copy here, if you have any problems, go to the official tool to download the source code and upload it to the Linux system of the development board for testing

      253x41px

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ make

      make -C /lib/modules/5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588/build M=/home/orangepi modules

      make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588'

      CC [M] /home/orangepi/hello.o

      MODPOST /home/orangepi/Module.symvers

      CC [M] /home/orangepi/hello.mod.o

      LD [M] /home/orangepi/hello.ko

      make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588'

    4. After compiling, the hello.ko kernel module will be > generated

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ ls *.ko

      hello.ko

    5. Use the insmod command to insert the hello.ko kernel > module into the kernel

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo insmod hello.ko

    6. Then use the demsg command to view the output of the > hello.ko kernel module. If you can see the output > instructions below, the hello.ko kernel module is loaded > correctly

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ dmesg | grep "Hello"

      [ 2871.893988] Hello Orange Pi -- init

    7. Use the rmmod command to uninstall the hello.ko kernel > module

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo rmmod hello

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ dmesg | grep "Hello"

      [ 2871.893988] Hello Orange Pi -- init

      [ 3173.800892] Hello Orange Pi -- exit

    Note that the touch interface below is not used for the LCD MIPI screen. It is currently a spare interface and cannot be used

    334x70px

Open the 10.1 -inch MIPI LCD screen configuration

  1. The Linux image defaults to the configuration of the mipi lcd screen by default. If you need to use the mipi lcd screen, you need to open it manually。

  2. The position of the development board MIPI LCD screen interface is shown below:

    428x77px

  3. The steps of opening the MIPI LCD configuration are shown below:

    1. First run the orangePi-config. Ordinary users remember to add > Sudo permissions

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo orangepi-config

    2. Then choose System

      379x175px

    3. Then choos Hardware

      379x164px

    4. Then use the keyboard orientation to position the > opi5plus-lcd, and then use the space to select

      349x57px

    5. Then select <Save>

      263x123px

    6. Then sele <Back>

      264x116px

    7. Then select the <Reboot>restart system to make the > configuration effective

      226x105px

  4. After starting, you can see the display of the LCD screen as shown below (the default is vertical screen):

169x244px

The server version of the image rotation display direction method

  1. Add extrargs = fbcon = rotate: The direction to rotate is in /boot/orangepiEnv.txt. This configuration can set the direction of the LINUX system of the server version,Among them, fbcon=rotate: The following numbers can be set to be set to

    1. 0: Normal screen (default vertical screen)

    2. 1: Turn 90 degrees clock

    3. 2: Flip 180 degrees

    4. 3: Turn to 270 degrees clock

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo vim /boot/orangepiEnv.txt

      overlays=opi5plus-lcd

      extraargs=cma=128M fbcon=rotate:3

      Note that if/boot/orangepienv.txt is configured in the default default exiArgs = CMA = 128M, fbcon = rotate: 3 The configuration can be added to the extensraargs = cma = 128m (need to be separated by spaces)。

  2. Then restart the Linux system to see that the direction of the LCD screen display has been rotated

The desktop image rotation display and touch direction method

  1. First open Display settings in the Linux system

    339x234px

  2. Then select the direction you want to rotate in the Rotation

    1. None: Not rotate

    2. Left: Rotate 90 degrees to the left

    3. Inverted: Flipting up and down is equivalent to rotating 180 > degrees

    4. Right: Rotate 90 degrees to the right

      330x208px

  3. Then click Apply

    330x207px

  4. Then click Keep this configuration

    458x258px

  5. At this time, the screen display has been rotated, and then the Display program is turned off

  6. The above steps will only select the display direction, and it will not rotate the direction of touch. Use set_lcd_rotate.sh script to rotate the direction of touch. After this script is set, it will be automatically restarted, and then you can test whether the touch can be used normally

    1. None: Not rotate

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ set_lcd_rotate.sh none

    2. Left: Rotate 90 degrees to the left

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ set_lcd_rotate.sh left

    3. Inverted: Flipting up and down, equivalent to rotating 180 > degrees

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ set_lcd_rotate.sh inverted

    4. Right: Rotate 90 degrees to the right

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ set_lcd_rotate.sh right

      set_lcd_rotate.sh The script mainly does four things:

  1. Rotate the direction of Framebuffer displayed

  2. The direction of rotating touch

  3. Close the boot LOGO

  4. Restart the system

    The direction of the rotation touch is achieved by adding Option TransformationMatrix""x x x x x x x x x"in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf. Among them, "x x x x x x x x x" is different in different directions。

  1. Touch rotation reference materials

The method to use RTC

  1. A RTC battery interface is reserved on the development board, which is shown below:

    344x126px

  2. The RTC battery that needs to be purchased is shown below. The interface is 2pin, 1.25mm spacing

    152x81px

  3. The RTC chip used on the development board is Hym8563TS. This chip has the following characteristics:

    1. Wide work voltage range:1.0~5.5v

    2. Low dormant current:Typical value 0.25μA(VDD =3.0V, TA =25°C)

  4. After connecting the RTC battery on the development board, use the following method to test whether the RTC has been working normally:

    1. First turn on the system, then record the current time of the > system

    2. Then use the Poweroff command to turn off the system normally

    3. Then unplug the power supply to ensure that the development > board does not access the network cable and wireless WiFi, and > wait a few minutes

    4. Then start the system again. If you see the time walk forward > for a few minutes after entering the system, it means that the > RTC module and the battery work normally

  5. See the command of the RTC information through the ProcFS interface of the Linux system

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ cat /proc/driver/rtc

    rtc_time : 06:07:40

    rtc_date : 2023-05-22

How to use the cooling PWM fan

  1. The development board is used for interfaces that connect the heat sink fan. The interface specifications are 2pin 1.25mm spacing, 5V voltage driver, and the position of the fan interface is shown in the figure below:

    410x171px

  2. The fan on the development board can adjust the speed and switch through PWM, and the PWM pins used are PWM3_IR_M1

  3. The Linux system uses the pwm-fan driver to control the fan by default. The DTS configuration used is shown below:

    orange-pi-5.10-rk3588/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dts

    fan: pwm-fan {

    compatible = "pwm-fan";

    #cooling-cells = <2>;

    pwms = <&pwm3 0 50000 0>;

    cooling-levels = <0 50 100 150 200 255>;

    rockchip,temp-trips = <

    50000 1

    55000 2

    60000 3

    65000 4

    70000 5

    >;

    status = "okay";

    };

    Among it:

    1. pwms = <&pwm3 0 50000 0>:The PWM of the control fan is > PWM3。

    2. cooling-levels = <0 50 100 150 200 255>:It is used to > configure the gear of the speed (PWM duty cycle). The number > and size of the gear can be defined by itself. Here are 6 > gears. The range of the speed is 0-255。

    3. rockchip,temp-trips:It is used to configure the > corresponding relationship between the CPU temperature and the > fan speed gear. It can be adjusted according to actual needs. > The above configuration 50 degrees corresponding gear 1, 70 > degrees to the corresponding gear 5。

      It is normal to find that the fan does not turn after turning, because the temperature of the CPU after booting is generally lower than 50 degrees. Only when the temperature of the CPU reaches 50 degrees, the fan will start to turn。

      Use the following commands to make all CPUs run, and then you can see that the fan will start working:

      orangepi@orangepi:~$ for i in $(seq 0 $(( $(nproc --all) - 1)) ); do (taskset -c $i yes > /dev/null &); done

The method of shutting down and restarting the development board

  1. In the process of running the Linux system, if the Type-C power supply is directly out of power, it may cause the file system to lose certain data or damage. Therefore, please use the poweroff command to turn off the linux system of the development board before power off. Then Unplug the power supply。

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ sudo poweroff

  2. In addition, the development board is equipped with a switch button, and you can also short press the switch button on the development board to turn off。

40 PIN GPIO port test

  1. A total of 28 GPIO ports can be used in the development board 40 PIN. Below is No. 7 pins -corresponding to GPIO1_D6 -corresponding WPI serial number 2 -as an example to demonstrate how to set the high and low level of the GPIO port

    576x147px

  2. First set the GPIO port as the output mode. The third parameter needs to enter the serial number of the wpi corresponding to the pins

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio mode 2 out

  3. Then set the GPIO port output low level. After setting, you can use the value of the voltage of the pins with a multimeter. If it is 0V, it means that the low -power flat is set

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio write 2 0

  4. Then set the GPIO port output high level. After setting, you can use the value of the voltage of the pins with a multimeter. If it is 3.3V, it means that the high -power flat is set to be successful

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio write 2 1

  1. The setting method of other pins is similar. Just modify the serial number of the wpi serial number as the corresponding serial number.

40 PIN GPIO Port -to -Plattering resistance setting method

  1. Below the No. 7 pin — corresponding to GPIO1_D6 -corresponding WPI serial number 2 -to demonstrate how to set up and down pull -down resistance of the GPIO port

  2. First of all, you need to set the GPIO port as the input mode. The third parameter needs to enter the serial number of the wpi corresponding to the pins

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio mode 2 in

  3. After the setting is set to input mode, execute the following command to set the GPIO port as the pull -down mode

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio mode 2 up

  4. Then enter the following command to read the level of the GPIO port. If the level is 1, it means that the drawing mode is successful

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio read 2

    1

  5. Then execute the following command to set the GPIO port as the drop-down mode

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio mode 2 down

  6. Then enter the command below to read the level of the GPIO port. If the level is 0, it means that the drop -down mode is set successfully

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ gpio read 2

    0

40 PIN SPI test

  1. As can be seen from the figure below, the SPI available for Orange Pi 5 Plus is SPI0 and SPI4

    575x137px

  2. The corresponding pins corresponding to SPI0 and SPI4 are shown in the table below. SPI4_M1 and SPI4_M2 can only be used at the same time, and they cannot be used at the same time. They are the same SPI4, but they are just getting different pins. Please don't think that they are two different SPI bus。

SPI0_M2 to 40pin SPI4_M1 to 40pin SPI4_M2 to 40pin
MOSI No. 19 pins No. 12 pins No. 8 pins
MISO No. 21 pins No. 31 pins No. 10 pins
CLK No. 23 pins No. 35 pins No. 22 pins
CS0 No. 24 pins No. 40 pins No. 31 pins
CS1 No. 26 pins No. 38 pins None
  1. In the Linux system, the SPI in 40 PIN is closed by default, and it needs to be opened manually to use. The detailed steps are shown below:

    1. First add the following configuration to the > /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

      [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ sudo vim /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

      LABEL Orange Pi

      LINUX /Image

SPI4_M2-cs0 /dtbs/rockchip/overlay/rk3588-spi4-m2-cs0-spidev.dtbo
  1. Then restart the OPi OS Arch system
  1. After the restart, enter the system first to check whether there is a spidevx.x device node in the Linux system. If it exists, it means that the SPI has been set and can be used directly

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ ls /dev/spidev*

    /dev/spidev0.0 /dev/spidev0.1 /dev/spidev4.0 /dev/spidev4.1

    The above is the result displayed after opening the spi0-m2-cs0-cs1-spidev and spi4-m1-cs0-cs1-spidev

  2. Then do not connect the SPI0 or SPI4 MOSI and MISO pins, and run the output result of the spidev_teest as shown below. You can see that the data of TX and RX are inconsistent

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ sudo spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev4.0

    Or

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ sudo spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev0.0

    spi mode: 0x0

    bits per word: 8

    max speed: 500000 Hz (500 KHz)

    RX | FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF | ............................….

  3. Then the output of spidev_test, which is then connected to SPI0 or SPI4 MOSI and MISO, is as follows. You can see that the sending and receiving data can be seen, indicating that the SPI loop test is normal

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ sudo spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev4.0

    Or

    [orangepi@orangepi ~]$ sudo spidev_test -v -D /dev/spidev0.0

Linux SDK——orangepi-build instructions

Compilation system requirements

We can cross-compile the Linux image of the development board on the x64 computer, or compile the Linux image of the development board on the Ubuntu22.04 system of the development board, please choose one according to your preference.

If you use orangepi-build to compile the Linux image in the Ubuntu22.04 system of the development board, please do a good job of cooling (especially when the SSD starts). If the heat dissipation is not done well, it is prone to the error of file system runaway.

Compile with the Ubuntu22.04 system of the development board

  1. The Linux SDK, namely orangepi-build, supports running on the Ubuntu 22.04 of the development board (other systems have not been tested), so before downloading orangepi-build, please first ensure that the Ubuntu version installed on the development board is Ubuntu 22.04. The command to check the Ubuntu version installed on the development board is as follows. If the Release field does not display 22.04, it means that the current Ubuntu version does not meet the requirements. Please replace the system before performing the following operations.

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ lsb_release -a

    No LSB modules are available.

    Distributor ID: Ubuntu

    Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

    Release: 22.04

    Codename: jammy

  2. Since the source codes such as the kernel and U-boot are stored on GitHub, it is very important to ensure that the development board can download codes from GitHub normally when compiling the image.

Compile with x64 Ubuntu22.04 computer

  1. The Linux SDK, orangepi-build, supports running on computers with Ubuntu 22.04 installed, so before downloading orangepi-build, please make sure that the Ubuntu version installed on your computer is Ubuntu 22.04. The command to check the Ubuntu version installed on the computer is as follows. If the Release field does not display 22.04, it means that the current Ubuntu version does not meet the requirements. Please replace the system before performing the following operations.

    test@test:~$ lsb_release -a

    No LSB modules are available.

    Distributor ID: Ubuntu

    Description: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

    Release: 22.04

    Codename: jammy

  2. If the computer is installed with Windows system and there is no computer with Ubuntu 22.04 installed, you can consider using VirtualBox or VMware to install an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine in the Windows system. But please be careful not to compile orangepi-build on the WSL virtual machine, because orangepi-build has not been tested in the WSL virtual machine, so it cannot be guaranteed that orangepi-build can be used normally in WSL.

  3. The download address of the installation image of Ubuntu 22.04 amd64 version is:

    https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu-releases/22.04/ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso

    or

    https://repo.huaweicloud.com/ubuntu-releases/22.04/ubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso

  4. After installing Ubuntu 22.04 on the computer or virtual machine, please set the software source of Ubuntu 22.04 to Tsinghua source, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes due to network reasons when installing the software later

    1. For the method of replacing Tsinghua source, please refer to the > instructions on this web page

https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/ubuntu/

  1. Note that the Ubuntu version needs to be switched to 22.04

Get the source code of linux sdk

Download orangepi-build from github

  1. The linux sdk actually refers to the code of orangepi-build. orangepi-build is modified based on the armbian build system. Using orangepi-build, multiple versions of linux images can be compiled. First download the code of orangepi-build, the command is as follows:

test@test:~$ sudo apt-get update

test@test:~$ sudo apt-get install -y git

test@test:~$ git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build.git -b next

Note that the Orange Pi 5 Plus development board needs to download the source code of the next branch of orangepi-build. The above git clone command needs to specify the branch of the orangepi-build source code as next.

Downloading the orangepi-build code through the git clone command does not require entering the user name and password of the github account (the same is true for downloading other codes in this manual), if the Ubuntu PC prompts the user to enter the github account after entering the git clone command The name and password are usually entered incorrectly in the address of the orangepi-build warehouse behind the git clone. Please check the spelling of the command carefully, instead of thinking that we forgot to provide the username and password of the github account.

  1. The u-boot and linux kernel versions currently used by the development board are as follows
branch u-boot version linux kernel version
legacy u-boot 2017.09 linux5.10

The branch mentioned here is not the same thing as the branch of the orangepi-build source code, please do not confuse it. This branch is mainly used to distinguish different kernel source code versions.

Currently, the linux5.10 bsp kernel provided by RK is defined as the legacy branch. If the mainline kernel is supported in the future, a current branch will be added.

  1. orangepi-build will contain the following files and folders after downloading

    1. build.sh: Compile the startup script

    2. external: Contains the configuration files needed to compile > the image, specific scripts, and the source code of some > programs, etc.

    3. LICENSE: GPL 2 license file

    4. README.md: orangepi-build documentation

    5. scripts: General script for compiling linux images

      test@test:~/orangepi-build$ ls

      build.sh external LICENSE README.md scripts

      If you downloaded the code of orangepi-build from github, after downloading, you may find that orangepi-build does not contain the source code of u-boot and linux kernel, nor does u-boot and linux kernel need to use cross-compilation tools Chain, this is normal, because these things are stored in other separate github warehouses or some servers (the addresses will be detailed below). orangepi-build will specify the address of u-boot, linux kernel and cross-compilation toolchain in the script and configuration file. When running orangepi-build, when it finds that there are no such things locally, it will automatically go to the corresponding place to download them.

Download the cross-compilation toolchain

The cross-compilation toolchain will only be downloaded when the orangepi-build compilation image is used on an x64 computer. Compiling the linux image of the development board in the Ubuntu22.04 of the development board will not download the cross-compilation toolchain. At this time, orangepi-build/toolchains will be an empty folder.

  1. When orangepi-build runs for the first time, it will automatically download the cross-compilation toolchain and put it in the toolchains folder. Every time after running the build.sh script of orangepi-build, it will check whether the cross-compilation toolchain in toolchains exists , if it does not exist, the download will be restarted, if it exists, it will be used directly, and the download will not be repeated.

  2. The image URL of the cross-compilation toolchain in China is the open source software image site of Tsinghua University

    https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/armbian-releases/_toolchain/

  3. After toolchains is downloaded, it will contain multiple versions of cross-compilation toolchains, and the development board will only use two of them

    test@test:~/orangepi-build$ ls toolchains/

  7. When the orangepi-bulid compilation system compiles the u-boot source code, it will first synchronize the u-boot source code with the u-boot source code of the github server, so if you want to modify the u-boot source code, you first need to turn off the download and update function of the source code (need This function can only be turned off after u-boot has been fully compiled, otherwise it will prompt that the source code of u-boot cannot be found. If the source code compressed package is downloaded from Google Drive, there is no such problem because the source code of u-boot cached), otherwise the changes made will be restored, the method is as follows:

    Set the IGNORE_UPDATES variable in userpatches/config-default.conf to "yes"

    test@test:~/orangepi-build$ vim userpatches/config-default.conf

    IGNORE_UPDATES="yes"

  8. When debugging u-boot code, you can use the following method to update u-boot in the linux image for testing

    1. Upload the compiled u-boot deb package to the linux system of > the development board

      test@test:~/orangepi-build$ cd output/debs/u-boot

      test@test:~/orangepi_build/output/debs/u-boot$ scp \

      linux-u-boot-legacy-orangepi5plus_1.0.0_arm64.deb root@192.168.1.xxx:/root

    2. Then log in to the development board and uninstall the deb > package of u-boot installed

      root@orangepi:~# apt purge -y linux-u-boot-orangepi5plus-legacy

    3. Install the new u-boot deb package just uploaded

      root@orangepi:~# dpkg -i linux-u-boot-legacy-orangepi5plus_1.0.0_arm64.deb

    4. Then run the nand-sata-install script

      root@orangepi:~# nand-sata-install

    5. Then select 5 Install/Update the bootloader on SD/eMM to update the u-boot in the TF card or 7 Install/Update the bootloader on SPI Flash to update the u-boot in the SPI Flash

      317x154px

    6. After pressing the Enter key, a Warning will pop up first

      1. jammy indicates the type of linux distribution of rootfs

      2. xfce means rootfs is the type of desktop version, if it > is cli, it means the type of server version

      3. arm64 represents the architecture type of rootfs

      4. f930ff6ebbac1a72108a2e100762b18f is the MD5 hash value generated by the package names of all software packages installed by rootfs. As long as the list of software packages installed by rootfs is not modified, this value will not change. The compilation script will use this MD5 hash value to generate Determine whether rootfs needs to be recompiled

    2. jammy-xfce-arm64.f930ff6ebbac1a72108a2e100762b18f.tar.lz4.list > lists the package names of all packages installed by rootfs

  6. Then it will start to compile the linux image. The general process of compilation is as follows

    a. Initialize the compilation environment of Ubuntu PC and install the software packages required for the compilation process

    b. Download the source code of u-boot and linux kernel (if cached, only update the code)

    c. Compile u-boot source code and generate u-boot deb package

    d. Compile the linux source code and generate linux-related deb packages

    e. Make the deb package of linux firmware

    f. Make the deb package of the orangepi-config tool

    g. Create a deb package supported by the board

    h. If you are compiling the desktop image, you will also create desktop-related deb packages

    i. Check whether the rootfs has been cached, if not, recreate the rootfs, if it has been cached, directly decompress and use

Linux Development Manual

The method of compiling the kernel source code separately in the linux system of the development board

  1. First download the Linux kernel source code of the development board

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ git clone --depth=1 -b orange-pi-5.10-rk3588 https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/linux-orangepi

If you have problems downloading the code from github, you can go to the official tool of the development board to download the compressed kernel source code package, then upload it to the linux system of the development board, and then decompress it.

223x86px 305x87px

The command to decompress the compressed kernel source code package is:

orangepi@orangepi:~$ tar zxf orange-pi-5.10-rk3588.tar.gz

orangepi@orangepi:~$ mv orange-pi-5.10-rk3588 linux-orangepi

After decompression, please execute the following command to synchronize the source code with github to ensure that the source code is in the latest state:

orangepi@orangepi:~$ cd linux-orangepi

orangepi@orangepi:~/linux-orangepi$ git pull

  1. Then configure the default kernel configuration

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ cd linux-orangepi

    orangepi@orangepi:~/linux-orangepi$ make rockchip_linux_defconfig

The path of rockchip_linux_defconfig in the kernel source code is arch/arm64/configs/

  1. Then compile the kernel source code

    orangepi@orangepi:~/linux-orangepi$ make -j10

  2. Then install the kernel module

    orangepi@orangepi:~/linux-orangepi$ sudo make modules_install

The installation path of the kernel module is:/lib/modules

After executing the sudo make modules_install command, you can see that there will be an additional kernel module folder under /lib/modules/:

orangepi@orangepi5plus:~$ ls /lib/modules

5.10.110+ 5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588

  1. Then install the kernel image and uInitrd

    orangepi@orangepi:~/linux-orangepi$ sudo make install

The installation path of the kernel image and uInitrd is:/boot/

After executing the sudo make install command, you can see that there will be one more kernel file under /boot/:

orangepi@orangepi5plus:~/orange-pi-5.10-rk3588$ ls /boot/vmlinuz*

/boot/vmlinuz-5.10.110+ /boot/vmlinuz-5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588

The file /boot/Image is actually loaded when the system starts, and Image is a copy of the vmlinuz file

  1. Then install the dtb file into /boot/dtb

    orangepi@orangepi:~/linux-orangepi$ sudo make dtbs_install INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/boot/dtb/

  2. Then restart the Linux system and the newly compiled kernel will be loaded

    orangepi@orangepi:~$ uname -r

    5.10.110+

How to use the infrared remote control of the Android Box system

  1. The development board comes with an infrared receiver, and its location is shown in the figure below:

    435x124px

  2. Before testing infrared reception, we need to prepare an infrared remote control

    Note: The Android system provided by Orange Pi only supports the remote control provided by Orange Pi by default, and the remote control of TV or air conditioner cannot be used.

  3. The Android Box system has been adapted to this remote control, and it can be used directly without other settings.

How to use HDMI CEC function in Android Box system

HDMI CEC allows users to control all connected devices through HDMI with only one remote control. Based on this function, we can control the development board with the remote control of the TV.

Before testing this function, please make sure your TV supports HDMI CEC.

  1. First connect the development board to the TV through the HDMI cable, then power on and start

  2. Then turn on the HDMI CEC function in the TV settings. Different TVs may have different ways to turn it on. Here we take Xiaomi TV as an example. Press the menu button on the remote control, then select CEC remote control and press the confirmation button

    575x323px

  3. Then select "On" to open the HDMI CEC remote control

    576x257px

  4. At this point, you can control the Android Box system of the development board through the remote control of the TV

    libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip

    test@test:~$ sudo apt-get install -y u-boot-tools

  2. There is a build.sh compilation script in the source code, and the compilation parameters are as follows

    a.-U: compile uboot

    b.-K: compile kernel

    c.-A: compile android

    d.-u: package and generate update.img and update_spi_nvme.img

    e.-o: Compile the OTA package

    f.-d: specify kernel dts

  3. Compile uboot, kernel, android and package them into update.img

    1. The command to compile and support HDMI 8K display image (LCD > off by default) is as follows:

      test@test:~$ cd Android_12

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ source build/envsetup.sh

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ lunch rk3588_s-userdebug

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ ./build.sh -AUKu

    2. The command to compile and support LCD display image is as > follows:

      test@test:~$ cd Android_12

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ export DUAL_LCD=true

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ source build/envsetup.sh

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ lunch rk3588_s-userdebug

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ ./build.sh -AUKu

    3. The command to compile the image of the Box version is as > follows:

      test@test:~$ cd Android_12

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ export BOARD=orangepi5plus

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ source build/envsetup.sh

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ lunch rk3588_box-userdebug

      test@test:~/ Android_12$ ./build.sh -AUKu

  4. After the compilation is complete, the following information will be printed

    ********rkImageMaker ver 2.1********

    Generating new image, please wait...

    Writing head info...

    Writing boot file...

    Writing firmware...

    Generating MD5 data...

    MD5 data generated successfully!

    New image generated successfully!

    Making update.img OK.

    Make update image ok!

  5. The final image file will be placed in the rockdev/Image-rk3588_s directory. Among them, update.img is the boot image that supports TF card and eMMC, and update_spi_nvme.img is the boot image of NVME SSD

    test@test:~/Android_12$ cd rockdev/Image-rk3588s_s

    test@test:~/Android_12/rockdev/Image-rk3588s_s $ ls update*

    update.img update_spi_nvme.img

  6. If you compile the image of the Box version, the final generated image file will be placed in the rockdev/Image-rk3588_box directory
