Install Image to SD Card On Linux PC with bpi-tools

Install bpi-tools on your linux
    $ apt-get install pv
    $ curl -sL https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools/raw/master/bpi-tools | sudo -E bash
After you download the image, insert your TF card into your Linux PC
    $ bpi-copy xxx.img /dev/sdx
After step 2, then you can insert your TF card into W2, and press power button setup W2.

Install Image to SD Card with Etcher on Windows, Linux and MacOS

Balena Etcher is an open source project by Balena, Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives

Install Image to EMMC with SD Ubuntu

Prepare a sd with Linux image installed, bootup board from sd card. Copy a Linux image to udisk and plug in W2, mount udisk and use command "bpi-copy xxx-emmc-xxx.img" to flash image to Emmc. After flash successfully, power off the board, eject sdcard and power on again.

Install Android image

Download the latest android image

Download BPI-W2 USB flash tool

Note:

1. BPI-W2 USB flash tool is a usb download tool for flashing android image to board emmc, and only support Windows platform.
2. Make sure SW4 switch to '0' for emmc boot.
3. Read w2_android_usb_download_tool/document/bananapi_w2_usb_download_tool_guide.doc before flashing image.

PWM Control

SATA

1. Mount dev on W2

  • After insert sata interface, execute "fdisk -l"
  • Then "mount /dev/sdx /mnt/xxx"

2. If you meet some errors when you mount SATA, try these following commands:

  • "fdisk /dev/sdx" to create new partition , set your partition numbers and size, after created partitions, input "wq" to save and quit.
  • "mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdx" to format the SATA
  • "mount /dev/sdx /mnt/xxx"

SSD

1. After you success to insert SATA, we could input following commands to test SATA interface:

  • "time dd if=/dev/xxx of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000" to test read speed
  • "time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=1000" to test write speed

HDD

1. After you success to insert SATA, we could input following commands to test SATA interface:

  • "time dd if=/dev/xxx of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000" to test read speed
  • "time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=1000" to test write speed

STA

1. Use commands to setup WiFi client

  • ip link set wlan0 up
  • iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
  • vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={    
ssid="ssid"    
psk="password"    
priority=1 
}
  • wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • dhclient wlan0

2. Use UI interface to setup WiFi Client
