Tips and tricks

Building

check out repository with submodules
run sudo scripts/debootstrap.sh
run scripts/bootstrap-tigerlash.sh
run scripts/bootstrap-tigerlash.sh second time
run scripts/bootstrap-tigerlash.sh third time
run scripts/build-tigerlash.sh

Adding convenient debug over NFS

apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
mkdir -p /export/nfs
mount --bind <desired folder> /export/nfs

add the following to /etc/fstab if you want automatically bind folders

<desired folder>    /export/users   none    bind  0  0

To export our directories to a local network 192.168.1.0/24 we add the following two lines to /etc/exports

/export       192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)
/export/nfs   192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,sync)

Restart nfs service

service nfs-kernel-server restart

Mounting on client

mount -t nfs <nfs-server-IP>:/nfs /mnt

SPI flash boot

based on http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash and http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SPI_flash

enable overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt

e.g

overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0

reboot the device and see that the following succeed

ls /dev/spidev0.0

apt-get install flashrom

check the flash

flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0


sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0
flashrom v0.9.9-r1954 on Linux 4.14.18-sunxi (armv7l)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L12805D" (16384 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" (16384 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "MX25L12805D", "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E"
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option.

The actual flash on R1 is MX25L12835F. Verify it with

sudo flashrom -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

now erase the flash

sudo flashrom -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -E -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

get the spi-uboot image

wget https://lampcore.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/U-Boot_8Mb.zip
unzip U-Boot_8Mb.zip
rm U-Boot_8Mb.zip

padd the file to 16M

truncate -s 16M u-boot_8.bin

write the flash

sudo flashrom -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -w u-boot_8.bin -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

Compiling linux tools

make -C tools/ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- gpio

Making a sysroot to crosscompile to

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt install debootstrap qemu-user-static
sudo debootstrap --foreign --arch=armhf stretch sysroot http://deb.debian.org/debian/
sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static sysroot/usr/bin/
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf sysroot/etc/
sudo chroot sysroot/ /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
sudo chroot sysroot/ apt -y install libboost-all-dev libjsoncpp-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

Watching resources

ulimits

ulimit -a

file descriptors

sudo sysctl fs.file-nr

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

temperature

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

pids

ps aux

Типы I/O, которые у нас есть:

Input
Output

По умолчанию все I/O работают в режиме Rising/Falling interrupt, чтобы обеспечить разумное использование ресурсов ЦП и достаточную производительность.

При инициализации управляющией программы происходит захват всех перечисленных в секции GPIOManager системных GPIO. Если GPIO были уже кем-то захвачены, то GPIOManager принудительно освобождает GPIO методом unexport.

GPIO по умолчанию читается и пишется в неинвертированном виде. т.о. запись 1 приведет к выдаче 1 на выход GPIO, а чтение значения 1 будет означать, что на входе 1. Параметр "invert": true в определении GPIO инвертирует эту логику.

Для выходов актуален параметр "value": 1 - активирует выход. По умолчанию = 0.

{
	"GPIO" :{
		"size": 0,
		"items": [
			{
				"Name": "",
				"ID": "400",
				"Type": "Input",
				"invert": false
			},
			{
				"Name": "",
				"ID": "401",
				"Type": "Output",
				"Value": 1,
				"invert": false
			}
		]

	}
}

Для теста на десктопе можно воспользоваться (gpio-mockup)[https://bbs.nextthing.co/t/gpio-mockup-a-virtual-gpio-driver/17038]

sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/gpio/gpio-mockup.ko gpio_mockup_ranges=1,1020

Добавление юзера в группу gpio

You can do this using udev rules, which can define actions to execute when the kernel instantiates new devices. Current versions of the Raspbian distribution for Raspberry Pi devices contain the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-com.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="gpio*", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'chown -R root:gpio /sys/class/gpio && chmod -R 770 /sys/class/gpio; chown -R root:gpio /sys/devices/virtual/gpio && chmod -R 770 /sys/devices/virtual/gpio'"

or better use more generic rule

SUBSYSTEM=="gpio*", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'find -L /sys/class/gpio/ -maxdepth 2 -exec chown root:gpio {} \; -exec chmod 770 {} \; || true'"

This ensures that entries under /sys/class/gpio are always available to members of the gpio group:

sudo addgroup gpio
sudo usermod -aG gpio $(id -un)

# ls -lL /sys/class/gpio/
total 0
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:36 export
drwxrwx--- 2 root gpio    0 Jan  1  1970 gpiochip0
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 unexport
# echo 11 > /sys/class/gpio/export 
# ls -lL /sys/class/gpio/
total 0
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 export
drwxrwx--- 2 root gpio    0 May  6 23:37 gpio11
drwxrwx--- 2 root gpio    0 Jan  1  1970 gpiochip0
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 unexport

Permissions are correct for individual pins as well:

# ls -Ll /sys/class/gpio/gpio11/
total 0
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 active_low
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root    0 May  6 23:36 device
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 direction
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 edge
drwxrwx--- 2 root gpio    0 May  6 23:37 subsystem
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 uevent
-rwxrwx--- 1 root gpio 4096 May  6 23:37 value
