How to use

How to use on BPI-M1

For the Banana Pi ,just Insert these two module like the picture Below


How to use on BPI-M3

OS: BPI-M3 Ubuntu15.10 (Kernel3.4)

Version: 1.0 HDMI


Step 1: Download WiringPI

$ git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-WiringPi.git1 -b BPI_M3
$ cd BPI-WiringPi
$ chmod +x ./build
$ sudo ./build

Step 2 : Copy smaple code to Blue_RGB8*8.c file

$ sudo vi Blue_RGB8*8.c 

Step 3 : Compile Blue_RGB8*8.c

$ gcc -o Blue_RGB8*8 Blue_RGB8*8.c -l wiringPi 

Step 4: Run Blue_RGB8*8

$ sudo ./Blue_RGB8*8
