Development

Let's get start to develop on BPI-M2P, see amazing things happen.

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 M2P

Load your first image on M2P

 1.You could download latest image from our forum
 * Here is the example forum thread link: http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/banana-pi-bpi-m2p-new-image-release-ubuntu-16-04-v1-1/5719
 
 2.Install bpi-tools on your Ubuntu
 * apt-get install pv
 * curl -sL https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools/raw/master/bpi-tools | sudo -E bash
 
 3.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.
 
 4.After step 3, then you can insert your TF card into M2P, and press power button setup M2P.

Load your first image on M2P EMMC

 * Run your M2P with TF card
 * Copy "xxx-sd-emmc-xxx.img.zip / xxx-sd-emmc-xxx.img" to your USB disk
 * Plug your USB disk in M2P
 * After M2P recognise USB disk, execute "bpi-copy xxx-sd-emmc-xxx.img.zip / xxx-sd-emmc-xxx.img" to install image on EMMC
 * Then power off M2P, take TF card out, power on M2P with EMMC

Advanced Development

How to build uboot & kernel

How to create a image

Prepare a SD card which have installed system(Ubuntu/Raspbian/..)
Boot your SD card with M2P, after M2P finish starting, copy your files and config your system, then poweroff M2P. [If you don't want to config your system, you can skip this step]
Plug your SD card in PC(which is running Linux), "cd /media", then "ln -s <your account> pi"
Execute "bpi-migrate -c bpi-m2p.conf -c ubuntu-mate-from-sd.conf -d /dev/sdx"
Then you could get your own image now

OTG

1. On M2P console:

Execute "./adbd.sh", then execute "ps -ax | grep adbd" to see if adbd is set up

2. On PC terminal:

If adbd was succeed to set up, insert OTG-USB interface to M2P and PC(with Ubuntu system)
Execute "adb devices" to see if PC has recognised M2P OTG
If yes, we could execute "adb shell" to connect M2P by adb now

GMAC

Use iperf3 to test gmac

Bluetooth

Use bluetoothctl tool to operate BT
Execute "bluetoothctl"
If you don't know how to use bluetoothctl, type "help", you will see more commands
Execute these commands:
