快速入門 (Quick Start)

系統下載 (OS Download)

Linux 系統 (Linux OS)

OS Support List (based on Ubuntu 18.04)

Flash Images to SD/USB.

The SD/eMMC share the same path so the system can only boot either SD or eMMC.
These operations are processed on a Linux host.

建立可開機 SD 卡 (Bootable SD card)

cd $images_folder
sudo flex-installer -i pf -d /dev/sda
sudo flex-installer \
  -f firmware_ls1046arom8720_s1_uboot_sdboot.img \
  -b bootpartition_LS_arm64_lts_5.4_xxxxxxxxxxxx.tgz \
  -r rootfs_lsdk2012_ubuntu_main_arm64.tgz \
  -d /dev/sda

### *`*Debug 串口調試 (Debug port Setting)*`*

1. Connect RS-232 Cable (1700019474) to debug port (COM1)(up side) on SOM-DB5920.
 2. Connect it to your PC with RS-232 Cable (1700019474).
 3. J14 need to set to AT mode
 4. root/root

SW1:

1:on 2:off: SD boot (Default setting)

1:off 2:off: QSPI boot (For boot from USB to flash image to eMMC)

*Watch Dog Function*

System will reboot after enable watchdog and count 60 sec :

Check default watchdog time:

Enable watchdog, system will reboot after 60 sec.

1. echo 1 > /dev/watchdog

System poweroff after 60 sec. cannot reboot again

 Set timeout to 10 and pin rate to 13, the system will reboot after 10 seconds.

1. ./watchdog-test-adv -t 10 -p 13

*RTC test*

Disable RTC sync service:

1. systemctl stop systemd-timesyncd

Set system time to current, then write to RTC:

1. date 110415302022 && hwclock -w && date

Set one incorrect time, then read time from RTC to verify:

1. date 010100002000 && hwclock -r && date

Set the system time from the RTC:

1. hwclock -s && date

*Storage Function Test :*

*SATA DISK:*

  Read/write data and compare sha512 result

SPI Read/Write test

Write/Read/Verify data in the start/end 4 byte of flash

1. Note: Make sure the content of SPI nor flash is erased

2. echo -n $'\x06\x05\x04\x03\x02\x01' > test

3. dd if=test of=/dev/mtdblock0

4. hexdump -C /dev/mtdblock0 -n 64
