# Getting Started with R64 - Banana Pi Wiki ## Introduction ``` The Banana Pi R64 is a router based development board, which can run on a variety of open source operating systems including OpenWrt,Linux. It has 4 Gigabit LAN ports, 1 Gigabit WAN, and AC wifi AP function. use 64 bit chip design. ``` Read more: [Banana Pi BPI-R64](http://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R64) ### Key Features * MediaTek MT7622,1.35GHZ 64 bit dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 * 1G DDR3 SDRAM * Mini PCIE interface support 4G module * Built-in 4x4n 802.11n/Bluetooth 5.0 system-on-chip * MTK7615 4x4ac wifi on board * Support 1 SATA interface * MicroSD slot supports up to 256GB expansion * 8G eMMC flash (option 16/32/64G) * 5 port 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet port * 1 Port USB 3.0 * Slow I/O:ADC, Audio Amplifier, GPIO, I2C, I2S, IR, PMIC I/F, PWM, RTC, SPI, UART * POE function support ## Development ### Basic Development #### Prepare to develop ``` * Prepare 8G/above TF card, USB-Serial interface, Ubuntu System * Using your USB-Serial Connect debug console on R64 ``` ``` ``` #### How to burn image to SD card ``` 1.You could download latest image from our forum * Here is the example image link: 2.Install bpi-tools on your Ubuntu. If you can't access this URL or any other problems, please go to bpi-tools repo and install this tools manually. * 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 R64, and press power button to setup R64 ``` **How to burn image to onboard eMMC** ``` Before burning image to eMMC, please prepare a SD card with flashed bootable image and a USB disk. Let's take OpenWrt image (mtk-bpi-r64-preloader-emmc.bin,2020-04-09-OpenWRT-mtk-bpi-r64-EMMC.img) for example, the steps are below: ``` ``` 1. Insert the flashed SD card and power on to start the board.(the image on the SD card can be OpenWrt or other linux OS like ubuntu...) ``` ``` 2. Copy eMMC bootable OpenWrt image(mtk-bpi-r64-preloader-emmc.bin,2020-04-09-OpenWRT-mtk-bpi-r64-EMMC.img) to USB disk, if the image is compressed please uncompress it before copying to USB disk. ``` ``` 3. Plug in USB disk to the board, and mount the USB to /mnt or other directory as follows: (you can skip mounting if it is mounted automatically) * mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt * change your directory to the mounting point, here is : cd /mnt ``` ``` 4. Execute following command to enable and copy image to eMMC: * echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro * dd if=2020-04-09-OpenWRT-mtk-bpi-r64-EMMC.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 * dd if=mtk-bpi-r64-preloader-emmc.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 * mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0 ``` ``` 5. Shutdown, remove SD card and USB disk, and restart the board from eMMC. ``` #### Network-Configuration * Network-Configuration : ### Advanced Development #### GPIO **40 Pins Definition** **GPIO Control** * echo xxx > /sys/class/gpio/export * echo in/out > /sys/class/gpio/gpioxxx/direction * echo 0/1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpioxxx/value Check the base gpio, you could see mine is 409 For example: if you want to change gpio 22 as out highlevel, you need input commands like this： * echo 431（22+409） > /sys/class/gpio/export * echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio431/direction * echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio431/value **PWM Control** * echo x >/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export * echo 200000 >/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwmx/period * echo 100000 >/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwmx/duty\_cycle * echo 1 >/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwmx/enable **SPI touch panel** SPI Panel module: 2.4" Touch Screen TFT LCD with SPI Interface, 240x320 (ILI9341 + ADS7843/XPT2046/HR2046) SPI Panel <–> BPIR64 ``` T_DO, T_DIN, T_CLK <–> SPIC_0: MOSI / MISO / CLK T_CS <–> SPI-CE0 T_IRQ <–> IO-37 SDO, SCK, SDI <–> SPIC_1: MOSI / MISO / CLK LED <–> PIN-31 DC <–> PIN-11 RESET <–> PIN-13 CS <–> SPI-CE1 GND <–> GND-9 VCC <–> 3.3V-1 ``` DTS Modification: ``` / { backlight: backlight { compatible = "gpio-backlight"; gpios = <&pio 82 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; //PIN31 IO-31 : GPIO82 default-on; }; }; ``` ``` &pio { spic0_pins: spic0-pins { mux { function = "spi"; groups = "spic0_0"; }; }; spic1_pins: spic1-pins { mux { function = "spi"; groups = "spic1_0"; }; }; } ``` ``` &spi0 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&spic0_pins>; status = "okay"; touch@0 { reg = <0>; //CE0 compatible = "ti,ads7843"; interrupt-parent = <&pio>; interrupts = <86 0>; //PIN37: IO-37 == GPIO86 pendown-gpio = <&pio 86 0>; spi-max-frequency = <1000000>; vcc-supply = <®_3p3v>; wakeup-source; }; }; ``` ``` &spi1 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&spic1_pins>; status = "okay"; display@0{ compatible = "ilitek,ili9341"; reg = <0>; //CE0 spi-max-frequency = <32000000>; dc-gpios = <&pio 51 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; //PIN11 UART1-TXD : GPIO51 reset-gpios = <&pio 52 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; //PIN13 UART1-RXD : GPIO52 backlight = <&backlight>; }; }; ``` Kernel config: ``` +CONFIG_FB_TFT_ILI9341 +CONFIG_FB_TFT +CONFIG_FB +CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT +CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE +CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GPIO +CONFIG_INPUT +CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN +CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_ADS7846 ``` Application: input-event-daemon config that show image by touch area: (I don't know why are the coordinates so strange, but the result of my actual touch and print out that it is like this) ``` [Global] listen = /dev/input/event0 listen = /dev/input/event1 [TouchTEST] 340,400,3440,1860 = cat /dev/zero > /dev/fb0; fbv -f /root/bpi_608x429.jpg -s 1 340,2260,3440,1860 = cat /dev/zero > /dev/fb0; fbv -f /root/openwrt_449x449.png -s 1 ``` Banana Pi BPI-R64 SPI touch panel test: #### Sata * **If you want to use Sata interface on R64, you need to give GPIO90 low level** * echo 499 > /sys/class/gpio/export * echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/direction * echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/value * Test a TOSHIBA HDD DISK, the Read/Write performance are below: Read from disk: 50MB/s command: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024Write to disk: 38MB/s command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1024 * Test a SAMSUNG SSD DISK, the Read/Write performance are below: Read from disk: 360MB/s command: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024Write to disk: 200MB/s command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1024 #### PCIe * **If you want to use PCIe interface on R64, you need to give GPIO90 high level** * echo 499 > /sys/class/gpio/export * echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/direction * echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/value * PCIe supports EC-25 4G module. #### GMAC Use iperf3 to test gmac 1\.
