specifications

Linux

The below steps is to flash linux release image into BPI-W3

Prepare

1. Good Type-C data cable for image download into EMMC
2. Usb to ttl cable if you need debug, default baudrate is 1500000.
3. Windows or Linux PC.
4. Download the Linux Release Image Release Linux Release Image, and confirm that the md5 checksum is correct before flashing.

Note: The below picture is for BPI-W3's Debug Connecting, the red usb cable is Type-C data cable for image download, the three colors usb to ttl cable is linux serial console, please install CH340E's USB convert serial driver.

Starting the board for the first time

BPI-W3 can be started with eMMC Module or μSD Card..

Install Whole Image with Usb Download Tool

Windows Driver install

1. Download and install Rockchip USB driver

Driver install 2.PNG

2. Download Rockchip USB Download Tool for EMMC upgrade

This tool defaults language is Chinese. you can change it to English after extract the package. Open RKDevTool_Release_v2.84/config.ini with an text editor (like notepad). The starting lines are:
 #Language Selection: Selected=1(Chinese); Selected=2(English)
 [Language]
 Kinds=2
 Selected=2
 LangPath=Language\

3. Open RKDevTool.exe, Switch to the “upgrade firmware” page. Press the “firmware” button to open the image file to be upgraded. The upgrade tool displays detailed firmware information.

  Note: Because Linux's release image is very large, So you need wait for a long time when Software open and analysis the image file.

4. Disconnect power adapter, connect dual male usb cable from the top usb host port to PC.Use the Type-C data cable to connect one end to the PC and the other end to the BPI-W3 board.

5. There have two usb download mode for image upgrade.

  • Uboot Usb Download Mode (loader mode)
It's supposed to use this way if board already flashed a bootable uboot before.
  • Maskrom Usb Download Mode
Press the Recovery button or Maskrom button beside 3pin uart header and hold, connect the power adapter or press the RST button if power adapter already connected, about two seconds later, release the button. PC will Identify the device if RK usb driver installed correctly.

Install Separate Images with Usb Download Tool

1. Download Rockchip USB Download Tool for EMMC upgrade 2. Open RKDevTool.exe, Switch to the “Download Image” page. The upgrade tool displays detailed all firmware image information. Then all image file is ready, you may push "run", the upgrade process begin.

  Note: Because Linux's release package, Example: Ubuntu-22.04-Desktop-EMMCBoot-rockdev-MT7531SW-DSA.zip, unzip it into the same folder "Update-EMMC-Tools" inside.

Install Image with SDcard

1. Download Rockchip SDDiskTool.

2. Insert microSD card to Windows PC, 8GB sdcard size at least.

3. Run SD_Firmware_Tool, check the “Upgrade Firmware” box and select the correct removable disk device, Choose firmware image, then Click Create button to make it and wait until it is finshed

4. Safely remove the microSD card, insert it into the R2pro board, power on the board, it will start Linux System.

Build Linux BSP Source Code

1. Get Linux source code
 $ git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-W3-BSP
2. Build the Linux BSP Source code

Dual Display

  Note: All linux Image suuport dual display HDMI and MIPI-DSI together, MIPI-DSI only support 1200x1920.
  Note: HDMI Display

Wlan&BT

J14 M.2 KEY E Slot is used for connect Wlan&BT adapter, default image support RTL8822CE(PCIE+USB) and RTL8822CS(SDIO+UART).

HDMI RX

The ArmSoM-w3 uses an hdmi_in port built into the rk3588 chip,You can use the v4l2 command to test the hdmi in interface.

View all video nodes

ls /dev/video*

Look for the rk hdmirx device

Run the v4l2-ctl -d command to specify the vidoe node. Run the -D command to view the node information. Check the rk_hdmirx device using the Driver name.

# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -D
Driver Info:
Driver name : rk_hdmirx
Card type : rk_hdmirx
Bus info : fdee0000.hdmirx-controller

Query resolution and image format

To query the current resolution and image format:

# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video17 --get-fmt-video
Format Video Capture Multiplanar:
Width/Height : 3840/2160
Pixel Format : 'NV16'
Field : None
Number of planes : 1
Flags : premultiplied-alpha, 000000fe

Grab image file

Save the image file to the device, adb pull to the PC, and view it through 7yuv and other tools:

v4l2-ctl --verbose -d /dev/video17 \
--set-fmt-video=width=3840,height=2160,pixelformat='NV16' \
--stream-mmap=4 --stream-skip=3 \
--stream-to=/data/4k60_nv16.yuv \
--stream-count=5 --stream-poll

Querying the HDMI RX status

Query the current status of HDMI RX, including signal locking, image format, Timings information, Pixl Clk, etc.

# cat /d/hdmirx/status
status: plugin
Clk-Ch:Lock Ch0:Lock Ch1:Lock Ch2:Lock
Ch0-Err:0 Ch1-Err:0 Ch2-Err:0

Pixel Clk: 594024000

LED

On BPI-W3 three-color LED is configured as LED class device. When the blue LED is not active a green LED will show to indicate the board has power. You can control the behavior mode of the blue LED by writing to /sys/class/leds/blue:status/trigger. By default only root users can write to the device. The default mode of the blue LED is heartbeat.

linaro@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# sudo su // linaro password
root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# echo timer > /sys/class/leds/blue:status/trigger
root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# echo activity > /sys/class/leds/blue:status/trigger

You can use cat on the trigger property to list all the available LED modes. The value in brackets is the currently active mode.

root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# cat /sys/class/leds/blue:status/trigger
none rfkill-any rfkill-none kbd-scrolllock kbd-numlock kbd-capslock kbd-kanalock kbd-shiftlock kbd-altgrlock kbd-ctrllock kbd-altlock kbd-shiftllock kbd-shiftrlock kbd-ctrlllock kbd-ctrlrlock tcpm-source-psy-4-0022-online mmc2 mmc1 timer oneshot disk-activity disk-read disk-write ide-disk mtd nand-disk heartbeat backlight gpio cpu cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 cpu4 cpu5 cpu6 cpu7 mmc0 [activity] default-on transient flash torch panic netdev rfkill0

In the None mode, writing to /sys/class/leds/blue:status/brightness can manually control the status of the blue LED.

root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# echo none > /sys/class/leds/blue:status/trigger
root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/blue:status/brightness
root@linaro-alip:/home/linaro# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/blue:status/brightness

red light is the same, class device /sys/class/leds/red:status/trigger

RTC Device

BPI-W3 is equipped with one RTC IC hym8563

Firstly, plug in RTC battery to give power to RTC IC. Please note that we should keep the RTC battery in the RTC connector.

Secondly,Check whether the driver is successfully loaded.

root@linaro-alip:~# dmesg | grep rtc
[    3.149263] rtc-hym8563 6-0051: rtc information is valid
[    3.154624] rtc-hym8563 6-0051: registered as rtc0
[    3.155646] rtc-hym8563 6-0051: setting system clock to 2021-01-01T12:00:05 UTC (1609502405)

Finally, check whether you can view and set the time.
