  • 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 Due to a lack of support, this pre-installed OS has been replaced by Ubuntu.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". SPECIFICATION CPU:ARM® Cortex™‐A7 Dual‐Core GPU:ARM® Mali400MP2, Complies with OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 Memory:1GB DDR3 @960M Storage:4GB internal NAND flash, up to 64GB on uSD slot, up to 2T on 2.5 SATA disk Power:5VDC input 2A or USB otg input Networking:10/100 ethernet, optional wifi USB : Two USB 2.0 HOST, one USB 2.0 OTG Extended Interfaces: 96 extend pin interface, including I2C, SPI, RGB/LVDS, CSI/TS, FM‐IN, ADC, CVBS, VGA, SPDIF‐OUT, R‐TP, and more Other: One IR SHIPPING LIST Cubieboard 2 main board x1 DC to USB cable x1 SATA cable(data + power) x1 Cubieboard Case x1 Serial to USB cable x1 Powered By DFRobot © 2008-2017 .
