3)HDMI or 3.5mm Sound Output(3.5mm sound output would require using an expansion board)

a.The sound was default to output via HDMI on image, it could check and change via alsamixer.
ls /etc/asound.conf
card indicates card number, device indicates device number.
aplay -l it could check the system to load the sound card number and details
cat /proc/asound/cards it also could check the sound card and details
It could be used after use alsamixer to change the sound card.
alsactl store -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state used for saving modified parameters
b.Switch to graphical interface
Open smplayer,select preferences on options, select alsa(audiocodec). It could only open one of HDMI or audiocodec in one time.
c.How to use mic sound recording
arecord -d 5 -f cd -t wav 123.wav
After recording, use the following to play
aplay 123.wav

Universal Software Configuration


1)Default Account Changing

The default log in account is orangepi. In order to secure, it is recommended to modify the default orangepi accounts to your own account, for example Zhangsan. Steps are as follows:
a.Use root account to login Orange Pi(please note that do not login with the account of orangepi
b.$ usermod -l zhangsan orangepi Change orangepi account into Zhangsan

Orange-pi-pc2-img30.png

c.$ groupmod -n zhangsan orangepi Change group

Orange-pi-pc2-img31.png

d.$ mv /home/ornagepi /home/zhangsan Change directory of original orangepi

Orange-pi-pc2-img32.png

e.$ usermod -d /home/orangepi orangepi Set this directory to orangepi user's home directory

Orange-pi-pc2-img33.png

f.$ cat /etc/passwd It should be shown as below:

Orange-pi-pc2-img34.png

After the modification of the above iterms, it can be used the new account Zhangsan to land.

2)U Disk Automatic Mounted Configuration

a.sudo apt-get install usbmount
b.sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/automount.rules
ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sdb*", RUN+="/usr/bin/pmount --sync --umask 000 %k"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sdb*", RUN+="/usr/bin/pumount %k" ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sdc*", RUN+="/usr/bin/pmount --sync --umask 000 %k"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sdc*", RUN+="/usr/bin/pumount %k"

c.udevadm control –reload-rules
It could refer to this:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/134797/how-to-automatically-mount-an-usb-device-on-plugin-time-on-an-already-running-sy

3)System Source Configuration

Take Ubuntu as an example:
a.Open the source file
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Orange-pi-pc2-img35.png

b.Edit source file
Replace the source file with your favorite source. Take an example of Ubuntu 16.04 on Zhonkeda source:
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-backports main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-security main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-updates main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-backports main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-security main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-updates main multiverse restricted universe
Note: xenial is the version of the code name in this source, if the other version of Ubuntu needs to replace the corresponding version code which can be found on the internet.

4)Remote desktop installation
There are a lot of software, such as VNG, XRDP, X2GO, etc. For X2GO, it has more functions, and desktop color restore is very good which does not need too much configuration. And XRDP is much more safety than VNC.
a.$sudo apt-get install tightvncserver Install VNC

Orange-pi-pc2-img36.png


b.vncpassw Set the password: do not execute this command but executing vncserver directly. It will prompt you to enter the password twice, when prompted whether can be read only to select the N.

Orange-pi-pc2-img37.png


c.Open one or more of desktops by vncserver or vncserver:1(vncserver:2)… you can also transfer more parameters through the full command as below:
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
(Note: If it prompted you that cannot find the file or other error when installing, please run sudo apt-get update to update the software source and try installing again.)

5)NAS and DLAN Configuration
a.NAS:
There are many files could be reference from Internet, for example: http://www.geekfan.net/5003/, it detailed descriptions on the operation and the mounted of U disk is very useful.
b.DLNA:
Mainly through the minidlna software to achieve the sharing of media resources within the LAN, such as sharing video, music, etc.. The installation steps are as follows:
i. sudo apt-get minidlna
ii. Execute the following command to modify the configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf
Note: you can also use other text editor to modify.
iii. Add the following:
media_dir=A,/nas, path: /DLNA/Music
media_dir=V,/nas, path: /DLNA/Video
media_dir=P,/nas, path: DLNA/Picture
db_dir=/nas, path: /DLNA/log
db_dir=/nas, path: /DLNA/db
ctrl +o and enter, ctrl +x to save and exit.
iv. Established above folders respectively, noted that path consistency and assigned to read and write permissions. In order for convenient, it could be Chmod 755, such as sudo Chmod 755 /nas path /DLNA/Music
v. Re-start minidlna to take effect the configuration: /etc/init.d/minidlna restart.
Transmit the corresponding file on the computer to the corresponding folder through samba.
Note: It is recommended to download MoliPlayer on the mobile device. The effect is good and no blue light pressure on both Android and IOS.

6)Thunder remote download
a.Go to the Thunder routing forum to download the required installation package first. The link for stable version:

cd /xx/xunlei
./etm_monitor &
ctrl +o and enter, ctrl +x to save and exit.
It could be remote downloading on computer, mobile phone or tablet by login yuancheng.xunlei.com

7)Modify the size of ext4 file system
After made the written image into SD card for booting, enter into rootfs partition’s expansion of file system. It could enhance the performance of SD card to avoid limited storage cause prblem.

  • Method 1


Extend rootfs file partition of TF card on PC: Select the specified disk, right click and select the corresponding disk, select "change size" and adjust it into your desired size, click "resize", close the dialog box and click "apply all operations", select the application to complete the expansion operation

  • Method 2


Enter into the system and extend via shell Before partition

Orange-pi-pc2-img43.png


Eneter into system and expend via resize_rootfs.sh

Orange-pi-pc2-img44.png


Enter resize_rootfs.sh on command line, the system will expending automatically, Reboot the system and use df -lh to check whether expending is successful

Orange-pi-pc2-img45.png


a.Expand file system
i. Boot to Linux, umount /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2, if it prompts disk busy, then use fuser to clean the using disk(we will recommend using another Linux booting disk to lead the system).
ii. Use fdisk /dev/sdb to adjust the partition size, after into it, enter p, and keep in mind about the initial position of needed extending size partition.
iii. Enter d to delete the partition need to change the size(my file system is /dev/sdb2, which is the 2 partition ).
iv. Enter n to build a new partition, make sure the initial position is the same as you deleted, and enter the number as you desire.
v. Enter w to save the partition data.
vi. Use the following command to check the file system(make sure it is a right file system)
e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
vii. Adjust the partition size
resize2fs /dev/sdb2
viii. It could mount a disk partition, you could check whether it has changed.

b.Shrink file system
i. Boot to Linux, umount /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2, if it prompts disk busy, then use fuser to clean the using disk(we will recommend using another Linux booting disk to lead the system).
ii. Use the following command to check the file system(make sure it is a right file system)
e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
iii. Modify the size of file system(Use resize2fs)
resize2fs /dev/sdb2 900M
The "s"after the number represents specifying the size of file system via the sectors(every sector calculated by 512 bite). You could also specify it into K(KB), M(MB), G(GB), etc.
iv. Use fdisk /dev/sdb to adjust the partition size, after into it, enter p, and keep in mind about the initial position of needed extending size partition. You need to first delete the partition then build a new one because the fdisk could not modify the size dynamic(you need to calculate the size, it have to enough to contain the file system adjusted in last step).
v. Enter d to delete the partition need to change the size(my file system is /dev/sdb2, which is the 2 partition ).
vi. Enter n to build a new partition, make sure the initial position is the same as you deleted, and enter the number as you desire. Besides, if it is bootable partition you want to change, note that need to keep the bootable mark in case cannot boot.
The above illustration is using fdisk and resize2fs to modify partition and file system, you could also use gparted. Gparted has graphical interface and it could help you to re-size file system at the same time of re-sizing partition. Goarted is much easier to use and reduce the change to make mistake. For now our offial Lubuntu and Raspbian could not use it.

8)eth0 and wlan0 static mac address setting
a.If the system do not use systemd, you could modify rc.local directory and add the following:
$ vim /etc/rc.local
MAC=00:e0:4c:a1:2b:d4
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether $MAC
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient &
After rebooting, you could use ifconfig to check whether mac address has changed.
b.If the system used systemd, you also need to add the following besides the above steps:
$ cd /etc/systemd/system/
$ vim change_mac_address.service (You could name the server, format just like the following)

[unit]
Description=Change OrangePi Wifi mac address

[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
sWantedBy=multi-user.target

$ systemctl enable change_mac_address.service
Modify mac address of eth0 is same as modifying wlan0’s, just need to replace wlan0 into eth0.

9)Orange Pi Android root
There is defaulted with root permission on Android pre-installed, but lacking authorization management software. The following is how to add authorization management software.

You need to have UsbModeSwitch.apk and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, install kingroot and make sure OTG on Orange Pi could connect to PC.

a.Open adb debug mode
Use U disk or card reader to install UsbModeSwitch.apk into Orange Pi OS and open it, tick "enable usb device mode" and use debug cable to connect OTG port and PC (make sure it is micro usb-cable in case other cables could not be recognized). Normally PC would search and install adb driver software automatically. If PC failed to install, you could install PC version’s Peasecod to install the driver software.

b.After connected Orange PI and PC, open command mode of PC, enter related command of adb(you need to install adb debug command, which Peasecod has adb command ). Here is the command:
adb remount
adb shell
windows(win+r) command line enter into command mode, then enter into kingroot directory and execute the following steps:
adb shell
root@rabbit-p1:/ # mkdir /tmp
root@rabbit-p1:/ # cd /system/bin
root@rabbit-p1:/ # mount -o remount, rw /system
root@rabbit-p1:/system/bin # ln -s busybox-smp unzip
Logout adb shell Mode
root@rabbit-p1:/exit (Or Ctrl + C)
Unzip UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
You will obtain META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary and put it into specific catalog.
adb push /path/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp path is file’s path
adb push /path/ update-binary /data/local/tmp
adb shell
root@rabbit-p1:/ #cd /data/local/tmp
root@rabbit-p1:/ #sh update-binary 0 1
/data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
......
......
After executed scripts, enter reboot command and reboot it, you could use the device authorization management software normally.
After rebooted, there might be no super administrator icon, you need to delete the desk configuration file and reboot the board.

build.sh: compilation script

Compile Project Source Code


You need to compile the entire project while it is your first time to use the source code. You can use the following commands in the /lichee directory to complete the project:

  • Enter into content of lichee, command

$ ll -a
Check if there is an executable permission on build.sh, if not, modify the permissions
$ chmod 755 build.sh

  • If there is .buildconfig after commanded ll –a, delete it

$ rm –rf .buildconfig

Update the Kernel Image File and Replace Library


  • After compilation is finished, the following files will be generated in the directory:

libs: lichee/out/sun8iw7p1/android/common/lib/modules/3.4.39
Download image from official website:
http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/service-and-support/Orange-Pi-R1.html

  • Write the image:

$ sudo dd bs=4M if=*.img of=/dev/sdb

  • Pull out the card reader, and then insert it again.

Copy the kernel image file generated by the compiler to the first partition (boot partition)
Copy the lib library which generated after compilation to the second partition (rootfs partition)
We would suggest using compilation system on github of official website.

Use Project Configuration Files


sys_config.fex Introduction


Configure hardware: sys_config.fe

The sys_config.fex is a binary configuration file that used by the SOC kernel driver or LiveSuit for a particular target board, including how to set up a variety of peripherals, ports, and I/O which based on the target version.
For OrangePi, the location of the project configuration document is:
lichee/tools/pack/chips/sun8iw7p1/configs/dolphin-p1/sys_config.fex
Copy the file to the directory of /lichee, use command:
$ cd ./lichee
$ cp ./tools/pack/chips/sun8iw7p1/configs/dolphin-p1/sys_config.fex ./

Examples


1)Modify the output mode into tv

  • tv-out out, the output type of tv0 is invalid, you need to set the output type of tv1 into pal.

Modify defaulted enable display output configuration into tv
[tv0]
used = 1
tv_dac_used = 1
dac_src0 = 0
dac_type0= 0
interface= 1
[tvout_para]
tvout_used= 1
tvout_channel_num= 1

[disp]
disp_init_enable= 1
disp_mode= 1
screen0_output_type= 2
screen0_output_mode= 11
screen1_output_type= 2
screen1_output_mode= 11
dev0_output_type = 4
dev0_output_mode = 4
dev0_screen_id = 0
dev0_do_hpd = 1
dev1_output_type = 2
dev1_output_mode = 11
Modify sys_confi and replace it when it generated scruot.bin. It would be faster if use compilation system on github. About compilation you could refer to the charter of Linux Compilation.

2)Loading tv.ko module automatically after booted
Enter /lib/ directory, enter command:
depmod -a
Add one more line on /etc/modules
tv
It would be tv out after booted

  • Capacitance touch panel (capacitor tp)


Configuration Item Configuration Meaning
ctp_used=xx Whether turn on capacitance touch panel, if so set the value as 1, and vice verso 0.
ctp_name =xx Indicates the control scheme used in the specified scheme, for now there are: "ft5x_ts" or "Goodix-TS".
ctp_twi_id=xx Used for selecting i2c adapter, there are 0 and 2.
ctp_twi_addr =xx Indicates the device address of i2c, it is related to the specific hardware.
ctp_screen_max_x=xx Maximum coordinates of the X axis of the touch panel
ctp_screen_max_y=xx Maximum coordinates of the Y axis o the touch panel
ctp_revert_x_flag=xx Whether needed to flip the X coordinates, if so then set 1, and vice verso 0.
ctp_revert_y_flag=xx Whether needed to flip the Y coordinates, if so then set 1, and vice verso 0.
ctp_int_port=xx GPIO configuration of the interrupt signal of capacitive touch panel
ctp_wakeup=xx GPIO configuration of the wake-up signal of capacitive touch panel
ctp_io_port=xx Capacitive screen IO signal, currently share with interrupt signal common pin

Configuration samples:

ctp_used = 1
ctp_name = "ft5x_ts"
ctp_twi_id = 2
ctp_twi_addr = 0x70
ctp_screen_max_x = 800
ctp_screen_max_y = 480
ctp_revert_x_flag = 0
ctp_revert_y_flag = 0
ctp_int_port = port:PH21<6><default>
ctp_wakeup = port:PB13<1><default><default><1>
ctp_io_port = port:PH21<0><default>

Note: If you want to support the new capacitive touch IC, you need to combine the configuration of the BSP A10 layer, which should be based on the original capacitive touch IC code, to make the appropriate changes. Specifically, 1) ctp_twi_id should be consistent with the hardware connection in sys_config; 2) In the drive part of the code: the use of twi from the device name + address should be consistent with the ctp_name and ctp_twi_addr in sys_config configuration. At the same time, the other sub configuration in sysconfig should also be properly configured, these configurations should be corresponding processing in the program.

Orange Pi Driver development


 In order to help developers become more familiar with OrangePi, this manual describes how to use simple device driver modules and applications on the development board.

Hardware: Orange Pi development board*1, Card reader*1, TF card*1, power supply*1

Orange-pi-r1-img-8.png


Device driver and application programming


1)Application Program (app.c)

Orange-pi-i96-img50.png


2)Driver Program (OrangePi_misc.c)

Orange-pi-i96-img51.png


Orange-pi-i96-img52.png


Compile device driver


Copy the OrangePi_misc.c to the */lichee/linux-3.4/driver/misc directory:

Orange-pi-pc2-img83.png


Enter to */lichee/linux-3.4/drivers/misc/, and modify makefile

Orange-pi-pc2-img84.png


Modify Makefile on currently file, shown as following:

Orange-pi-i96-img53.png


There is Kconfig on the same sibling folders with Makefile. Each Kconfig respectively describes the the source directory file related kernel configuration menu. In the kernel configuration making menuconfig, it read from the Kconfig config menu and the user configuration saved to the config. In the kernel compile, the main Makefile by calling this.Config could know the user's configuration of the kernel.
Kconfig is corresponding to the kernel configuration menu. Add a new driver to the kernel source code, you can modify the Kconfig to increase the configuration menu for your drive, so you can choose whether the menuconfig driver was compiled or not.

Orange-pi-i96-img54.png


Back to the source code directory:

Orange-pi-pc2-img85.png


$ ./build.sh
After compiled the kernel, there will be an orangepi_misc.ko file generated on the directory of lichee/linux-3.4/output/lib/modules/3.4.39

Orange-pi-prime-img16.png


There is a .ko module which generated after compiled of OrangePi_misc.c on */lichee/linux-3.4/output/lib/modules/3.4.39/

Orange-pi-pc2-img88.png


Insert U disk (please note the SD card should have been written image) if the SD card system is mounted to the directory / dev/ sdb, SD card will have two sub mount points, respectively are / dev / sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. Two partition of SD card will automatically mount to the PC /media/ directory, the first partition is the boot partition and the second partition is the rootfs partition.

Orange-pi-i96-img55.png


Copy the OrangePi_misc.ko file to /media/*/lib/modules/3.4.39.
$ cp OrangePi_misc.ko /media/*/lib/modules/3.4.39

Cross compiler Application Program


Here will take arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc as an example. Check whether there is the cross compiler, if not, then download and install it.
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v

Orange-pi-i96-img56.png


While compiling the application, you will fill that you need the cross compiler arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, download and install it.

Orange-pi-i96-img57.png


Unzip the downloaded file and enter the the directory

Orange-pi-i96-img58.png


Check the information after entering bin directory

Orange-pi-i96-img59.png


pwd hows the path and export it into the whole project

Orange-pi-i96-img60.png


$ ll /etc/environment shows that the file can only read, need to modify permissions
$ chmod 755 /etc/environment
Modify permission

Orange-pi-i96-img61.png


Add the path to the whole environment variable

Orange-pi-i96-img62.png


Compile the application with cross compiler

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc app.c –o aq
There will be an ap application generated in the directory, copy it to the development board file system(on the rootfs directory of /home/orangepi/)
$ cp aq /media/*/home/orangepi/

Running driver and application


Removed the SD card and inserted it into the development board and power on.
You need to switch to root users and load module driver module to the development board first.
$ insmod /lib/modules/orangepi.ko

Orange-pi-i96-img63.png


$ lsmod To check whether it is loaded

Orange-pi-i96-img64.png


$ ll /dev/orangepimisc( Miscellaneous equipment automatically generated device files, the specific look at the driver code)

Orange-pi-i96-img65.png


Executive application (note the use of the application, check the code for specify)
$ ./aq /dev/orangepimisc

Hardware: Orange Pi development board*1, Card reader*1, TF card*1, power supply*1

Orange-pi-r1-img-8.png


TTL to USB cable

Orange-pi-i96-img67.png


Operations on Windows


 In order to get more debugging information in the project development process of using OrangePi, OrangePi default support for serial information debugging. For developers, you can simply get the serial port debugging information with the materials mentioned above. The host computer using different serial debugging tools are similar, basically can reference with the following manual for deployment. There are a lot of debugging tools for Windows platform, the most commonly used tool is putty. This section takes putty as an example to explain the deployment.

1)Install USB driver on Windows

  • Download and unzip the latest version of driver:

 PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v130.zip

Orange-pi-i96-img68.png


  • Choose application installation as Administrator
Orange-pi-i96-img69.png


  • Wait for installation completing
Orange-pi-i96-img70.png


2)Install putty on Windows

Orange-pi-i96-img78.png


5)Putty configuration

Orange-pi-i96-img79.png


Serial port should set to the corresponding port number (COM5), the speed should set to 115200

6)Start debug
Power Orange Pi on and boot it, the serial port will automatic print out debug log.

Orange-pi-r1-img-19.png


Operations on Linux


There are Minicom and Kermit serial debugging tools for Linux, this section will take Kermit as an example to have an illustrate.

1)Install Kermit

  • Install the Kermit by execute command:

 $ sudo apt-get install ckermit

Orange-pi-i96-img81.png


  • Configurate Kermit

 $ sudo vi /etc/kermit/kermrc

Orange-pi-i96-img82.png


  • Add lines:

set line /dev/ttyUSB1
set speed 115200
set carrier-watch off
set handshake none
set flow-control none
robust
set file type bin
set file name lit
set rec pack 1000
set send pack 1000
set window 5

Orange-pi-i96-img83.png


2)Connect method for debug
 Use the TTL to the serial port cable, one end connected to OrangePi, the other end connected to PC
3)Equipment information acquisition

$ ls /dev/ (Input command in the PC terminal to check the device number of TTL to the serial cable)

Orange-pi-i96-img85.png


  • It can be seen from the figure that TTL to the serial port cable is identified as ttyUSB0, configure the /ect/kermit/kermitc file, update the serial port information.

 $ sudo vi /etc/kermit/kermitc

  • Set the value of setline into /dev/ttyUSB0
Orange-pi-i96-img86.png


4)Start debug

  • Input command in the host computer terminal, enter the Kermit mode:

 $ sudo kermit –c

Orange-pi-i96-img87.png


  • Power on and boot OrangePi, the serial port will print debug log automatically


Orange Pi R1 Routing System Adaptation


Orange-pi-r1-img-8.png


Configuration, Compiling and Installation of Quagga


1)There would be the following question when configure Quagga: During compilation, I'm getting the following error. How can I fix "libtoolize: No such file or directory" error?

Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345, line 5. autoreconf: failed to run libtoolize: No such file or directory autoreconf: libtoolize is needed because this package uses Libtool Solution:
The error indicates that you do not have libtool installed on your system. To fix the problem, you need to install libtool, as describe below.
libtool is a library tool designed to simplify the process of building software with complex static/shared library dependencies via a portable interface.

On Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint:
$ sudo apt-get install libtool

2)You need to first install the following software on Orange Pi R1
Ubuntu15.04:
a.First copy sources.list_ubuntu15.04_ports_vivid into /etc/apt/, and re-name it into sources.list
b.Install the following software:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y automake
$ sudo apt-get install -y libtool
$ sudo apt-get install -y gawk
$ sudo apt-get install -y texinfo
$ sudo apt-get install -y telnet
3)Configuration, compiling and Installation of Quagga(Execute in SDK root directory):
$ autoreconf -vif
$ ./configure --enable-user=root --enable-group=root
--enable-vty-group=root
$ make
$ make install

Build a test environment; a small-scale local area network


1)The local area network should combine with three machines, Machine B should have at least two network card. The corresponding IP address for these three machines are:
Machine A[eth0:192.168.1.10] <——> [ eth0:192.168.1.12] Machine B[eth1 :192.168.2.12] <——> [eth0:192.168.2.10] Machine C
2)Configure corresponding statics IP address for every Machine
The corresponding configure file of Ubuntu: /etc/network/interfaces
Machine A
auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
gateway 192.168.1.12 #Make sure the gateway is correct
netmask 255.255.255.0

Machine B
auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.12
gateway 192.168.1.10 #Make sure the gateway is correct
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.12
gateway 192.168.2.10 #Make sure the gateway is correct
netmsk 255.255.255.0

Machine C
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.10
gateway 192.168.2.12 #Make sure the gateway is correct
netmask 255.255.255.0

After the above configure, reboot machines, check whether the corresponding IP address have been configured automatic, and test whether all the link could connect with ping command.

3)Turn on IP forwarding function on all machines that participate in routing
i. Distro Linux version is defaulted turn off IP forwarding function which not used by most users. If we want to build up a Linux router or vpn server, then we need to turn on this function.
ii. Check whether it is turned on forwarding function with accessing kernel ipv4.ip_forward

  • Use sysctl:

$ sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

  • Check file on /proc:

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 0
If the value equals to 0, then means the ipv4 forwarding not open
iii. Running IP forwarding

  • We could running ipv4 forwarding function via sysctl(no need to reboot system)

$ sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

  • Or echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

The above two methods are temporary, it would be off if the PC reboot.

  • If you want to make ip forwarding function keep working, then please modify /etc/sysctl.conf

Modify the notes of #net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 into:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
If the ipv4 forwarding function have been set into 0, then only need to modify it into 1
Then run /etc/init.d/procps.sh restart or reboot the machine to make it effective.

4)Test the network connectivity
Enter the following command on Machine A:
$ ping 192.168.2.10

Orange-pi-r1-img-20.png


If display like the above picture, then means have been successful test. Data from Machine A to Machine C could be forwarding from Machine B.

Configure OSPF Routing Protocol


1)It could be forwarding if the local network haven’t been opened routing protocol, since it used default touting. It the network more complicated, statics configure would require more work, we would use corresponding routing protocol to rout.
2)Process of configuring OSPF routing protocol on Machine B:
a.After installed Quagga routing protocol, configure the following:
i. Check whether there is configure files on /usr/local/etc directory:

Orange-pi-r1-img-21.png


ii. Re-name the configure file of protocol(no matter which protocol, make sure zebra turn on)
$ cp ripd.conf.sample ripd.conf
$ cp zebra.conf.sample zebra.conf
$ cp bgpd.conf.sample bgpd.conf
b.Open corresponding routing protocol access:
$ zebra -d
$ ospfd -d
If display the following mistake:

Orange-pi-r1-img-22.png


Then copy corresponding files on /usr/local/lib to /lib

Orange-pi-r1-img-23.png


c.Connect corresponding protocol of daemon with telnel(Password is:zebra)

Orange-pi-r1-img-24.png


d.Process of configure OSPF protocol:

Orange-pi-r1-img-25.png


Configure NAT


Orange-pi-r1-img-27.png


1)On the above picture,Gateway is OrangePiR1, one of the network card (eth1) connect with Internet, the other network card (eth0) connect with Intranet.
2)Configure process of Gateway:
i Install iptables
$ sudo apt-get install -y iptables
ii Configure /etc/network/interfaces as following, one of eth1 use IP address assigned by system automatically:

Orange-pi-r1-img-28.png


iii Configure of iptables:
iptables -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
3)Configure of OrangePiPc:
Configure of /etc/network/interfaces:

Orange-pi-r1-img-29.png


Configure of DNS server address on /etc/resolv.conf

Orange-pi-r1-img-30.png


4)Test
If ping could connect to www.baidu.com on OrangePiPc, then the NAT configure successful.

Configure DHCP


1)DHCP Server configuration process(OrangePiR1)
a.Install dhcp server command on Ubuntu15.04 of OrangePiR1:
$ sudo apt-get install -y isc-dhcp-server (note the name of package)
b.Modify network file on /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server as following:
# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
# Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1". INTERFACES="eth0"
c.Modify file of /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, which is for configuring the IP range allocated by DHCP, example for configuring 192.168.3.0:
subnet 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.3.100 192.168.3.105;
option routers 192.168.3.; #Configuring the client default gateway must be added
option broadcast-address 192.168.3.255;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
}
d.Start the DHCP service on OrangePiR1
$ service isc-dhcp-server start

2)Configure process of DHCP(OrangePiPc)
a.Configure of /etc/network/interface

Orange-pi-r1-img-31.png


b.OrangePiPc client uses the following command to automatically obtain IP
$ dhclient eth0
