Basic Development
Prepare to develop
- Prepare 8G/above TF card, USB-Serial interface, PC with Ubuntu System
- Using your USB-Serial Connect debug console on W2
Install Linux Image On W2
Install Image On SD Card On Windows
- Board SW4 switch to 1

Install Image On SD Card On Ubuntu
- Board SW4 switch to 1
1.Install bpi-tools on your system * apt-get install pv * curl -sL https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools/raw/master/bpi-tools | sudo -E bash 2.After you download the image, insert your TF card into your Ubuntu * Execute "bpi-copy xxx.img /dev/sdx" to install image on your TF card. 3.After step 2, then you can insert your TF card into W2, and press power button setup W2.
Install Image On EMMC On Ubuntu
1.Prepare a sd which is installed ubuntu image, the Board SW4 switch to 1, let W2 boot from sd card. 2.Copy emmc image to udisk then plug in W2, then mount udisk. 3.After mount udisk, use command "bpi-copy xxx-emmc-xxx.img" to install image on Emmc. 4.After success to install, power off W2, switch SW4 to 0, power on W2.
Load Android image on W2
Install On SD Card
Install On EMMC
1.Connect debug console between PC and BPI-W2, and Power off BPI-W2 2.Run “boot_recovery.exe” 1)Check LK option --> yes 2)Choose HW Setting File as “RTD1296_hwsetting_BOOT_4DDR4_4Gb_s1866.config” 3)Choose dvrboot.bin File as “dvrboot.exe.bin” 4)Click Write button
3.After you click the Write button, then power on BPI-W2, the software will begins to burn boot to BPI-W2 and waiting for response "OK"。
4.Close app and power off BPI-W2. 5.Format your Udisk first and then copy Android image to it.
6.Change the image name to install.img
Ubuntu
1.Download this image: * Google: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BkkLcuNryVgwIpcrpX50G9kpQEcsFiDp * Baidu: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1fPSu8TyylN9wRP300WNs6A PinCode：z0wx 2.Prepare a sd card which installed image. 3.Switch SW4 to 1, boot w2 from sd card. 4.Execute commands "cd / ","bpi-copy android7xxx.img", then this android image will be installed on Emmc 5.Switch Sw4 to 0, remove sd card, power on W2
Advanced Development
GPIO
GPIO Control
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
NetWork
GMAC
- iperf3 -c [server]
- iperf3 -u -c [server]
- iperf3 -s
WiFi & BT
1.If you want to use WiFi or BT, you could use RTL8822BE module.
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
AP
Developing
Develop 4G module with W2
GPU
- Execute "glmark2-es" to start OpenGL test
- glmark2 Score: 30
