Introduction

Raspberry Pi Expansion/Evaluation Board, features various interfaces

More

Basic operations

System image file programming

Download newest Rapsbian image from Raspberry Pi web site.

Programming the system image file with Win32DiskImager.exe

Format your TF card with the SDFormatter.exe.

Notices: The capability of TF card in used here should be more than 4GB. In this operation, a TF card reader is also required, which has to be purchased separately.

Start the Win32DiskImager.exe, and select the system image file copied into your PC, then, click the button Write to program the system image file.

Serial debugging environment deploying

Connect your PC to the UART TO USB interface on DVK512 via a mini USB cable;

  • Notices: The USB part of the UART TO USB interface applied by DVK512 is a mini USB interface, while the one on Raspberry Pi board is a micro USB interface. Please take a note.

Install the cp2102_driver;

PuTTY settings

Start the software PuTTY.exe, and configure the following parameters:

  • Serial line: it is used to select corresponding serial port. The serial port in used can be check by Device Manager.
  • Speed: it is used to set the Baud rate: 115200.
  • Connection type: this option should be set to Serial.
And then, click the button Open.

After the system is started up, you should input following information: User name: pi and Password: raspberry. Then, you can enter the serial terminal to communicate with the Raspberry Pi.

Notices: In this document, the software PuTTY is always used to control the Raspberry Pi via serial port communication, unless otherwise specified. When a serial port is used for Raspberry Pi terminal debugging, it cannot service as a common serial port any more, since it is occupied by system debugging function.

DVK512 and expansion function Demos

Before performing any operations described in this section, you should connect DVK512 to RPi with onboard pin headers, unless otherwise specified.

Installing the libraries required

Before using the DVK512 programs, you shall install the the bcm2835, wiringPi and python libraries to the RPi to add the additional APIs, and configure the settings to start up the core drivers of I2C, SPI and UART after the libraries installed. For more detailed information about the installation and configuration of the RPI library functions, please refer to Libraries Installation for RPi. Of course, we have provided a system image file with the libraries installed as well. In case that you don’t want to reinstall the libraries, you can program this ready-to-use system image file to your Raspberry Pi board. You can find the API source code in the directory /home/pi/DVK512 only if using the ready-to-use system image. Note: Each demo should be run under the corresponding directory, e.g. to use the bcm2835 demo of the LED, execute the command: 

[email protected] ~/DVK512/LED/bcm2835 $ sudo ./led

This means that, you should first enter the path ~/DVK512/LED/bcm2835 than execute the command sudo ./led (./led is a compiled executable file).

The sudo means that the command is executed by a super user. The sudo is not required If you log in as a root user, e.g. 

[email protected]:/home/pi/DVK512/LED/bcm2835# ./led

Unless otherwise specified, the following demos are pre-compiled to executable files which can be run directly. If you intend to compile the C program of bcm2835, wiringPi, sysfs, etc. then please enter the demo directory and execute the command make to compile the program while the command make clean to remove the executable files. For example: 

[email protected] ~/DVK512/LED/bcm2835 $ make clean
rm led
[email protected] ~/DVK512/LED/bcm2835 $ make
gcc -Wall led.c -o led -lbcm2835

GPS (Purchased Separately) Demo

Removing the jumper wire from UART JMP for GPS Demo

In the default boot mode of the system image provided by Waveshare, the serial port works as terminal debugging output. In order to control peripherals via serial port communication, you should input corresponding commands on the terminal to disable the debugging function of the serial port. 

sudo raspi-config

Choose Advanced Options -> Serial –>no to disable the debugging function of the serial port.

Once the debugging function of the serial port is disabled, you cannot access the Pi using Serial port but you can re-enable the debugging function by raspi-config.
