Development

Let's get start to develop on BPI-W2, see amazing things happen.

Old page:Getting Started with BPI-W2

Basic Development

Prepare

  • Prepare 8G/above TF card, USB-Serial interface, PC with Ubuntu System
  • Using your USB-Serial Connect debug console on W2

Install Linux Image

Download the latest Linux Images

Note: Board SW4 switch to 1 for sd boot

How to Install Image On SD Card with Win32 Disk Imager

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 Ubuntu
    $ 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 document/bananapi_w2_usb_download_tool_guide.doc before flashing image.

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"
 W2 Sata.jpg

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

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
