Insert the written-image SD card that to the SD card spot on the left side edge ofthe underside ofthe board. 2. On the bottom "edge" in the middle ofthe board is the HDMI Type A (Full sized) p01t, just on the right ofthe SATA p01t. Just connect any HDMI cable fi:om the board to your TV or HDMI Monitor. Ifyou don't have an TV/Monitor with a HDMI or DVI-D port you can use the 9 Banana PI User M anual yellow AV jack located in the middle ofthe "top" edge and the 3.5 nun stereo headphone jack to the right of it. 3. Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located on the right edge. 4. Just under the USB ports on the right edge is the ethernet connector for anyone who wants to plug the Banana Pi into a wired network. 5. Finally, at the very left of the bottom edge is the micro-usb power connector. Plug in a regulated power supply that is rated at 5V ±5% and at least 700mA (or 0.7A). Any number bigger than 700 mA (like lOOOmA) will also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for small GSM phones, as these are often unregulated, even ifthey claim "5V lA", they may do "5V" and may do "lA", but not at the same time! The mini-USB (on the left) is the wrong one. It's thicker and looks like a trapezoid with its sides pinched in. The micro-USB (on the right) is the conect one. It is thinner and also looks like a trapezoid except it's sides are rounded outward. 10 Banana PI User Manual If all goes well, the Banana Pi will boot in a few minutes. The screen will display the OS GUI. StepS: Shut down your Banana Pi Y o u can use the GUI to shut down the Banana Pi safely. Also you can run the cornmand in the tenninal: sudo halt or sudo shutdown -h. This will shut down the PI safely, (just use the power key to tmn off might damage the SD-cards file system). After that you can press the power key for 5 seconds to turn it off. 11 @eP Banana PI User M anual If all is well ,so you can use banana pi now.

  • Improving the Beaglebone Board with Embedded Ubuntu, Enhanced GPMC Driver and Python for Communication and Graphical Prototypes
    Final Master Thesis Improving the BeagleBone board with embedded Ubuntu, enhanced GPMC driver and Python for communication and graphical prototypes By RUBÉN GONZÁLEZ MUÑOZ Directed by MANUEL M. DOMINGUEZ PUMAR FINAL MASTER THESIS 30 ECTS, JULY 2015, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING Abstract Abstract BeagleBone is a low price, small size Linux embedded microcomputer with a full set of I/O pins and processing power for real-time applications, also expandable with cape pluggable boards. The current work has been focused on improving the performance of this board. In this case, the BeagleBone comes with a pre-installed Angstrom OS and with a cape board using a particular software “overlay” and applications. Due to a lack of support, this pre-installed OS has been replaced by Ubuntu. As a consequence, the cape software and applications need to be adapted. Another necessity that emerges from the stated changes is to improve the communications through a GPMC interface. The depicted driver has been built for the new system as well as synchronous variants, also developed and tested. Finally, a set of applications in Python using the cape functionalities has been developed. Some extra graphical features have been included as example.

  • DFR0261 Dfrobot Datasheet
    Cubieboard 2 Kit SKU:DFR0261 INTRODUCTION Cubieboard2 (ARM® Cortex™‐A7 Dual‐Core), a upgrade of current cubieboard, is ready to ship now. Cubieboard2 is based on Allwinner A20 SoC, small size , hacker friendly, extendable and very low‐cost.It is an alternative to the Raspberry Pi or pcDuino. Compare with Raspberry Pi, it has higher performance, SATA supported and 96 extended interface. Compared with cubieboard,just replacing one chip(well, the most important one),cubieboard2 are upgraded from a single core to a dual core and twice gpu performance, and even no change is needed on the PCB. So all the base boards, accessories that works with cubieboard will also fit in with cubieboard2. On the software side, cubieboard2 support both android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Ubuntu 12.04 and other Linux distributions. Android Jelly Bean improves on speed and simplicity and brings a lot of new feature. If you plan to assemble a small computer, you can try using this small ARM platform cubieboard. It supports Ubuntu and other Linux distributions; you could use it like an ordinary computer operation. At the same time, the platform also supports Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich system and has bulit‐in IR sensor, can be used as "Android TV".
