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

Libraries Installation for RPi

In order to use the API examples we provide, related libraries are required, which should be installed manually.

Install WiringPi Library

Click to download the wiringPi libraries, or you can also obtain the latest version from the WiringPi website:

https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/download-and-install/

Copy the installation package into your own system via a USB flash drive, enter the WiringPi folder, then do this to install: 

chmod 777 build
./build

Run the following command to check the installation: 

gpio –v

Install C Library bcm2835

Click to download the bcm2835-1.39 libraries or bcm2835-1.45 libraries. You can also obtain the latest version from the bcm2835 website: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/

Copy the installation package into your own system, enter the bcm2835 libraries folder, then do this to install: 

./configure
make
sudo make check
sudo make install

Install Python Library

Python Libraries for Raspbian (contain RPi.GPIO and spidev installation packages. See: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO https://pypi.python.org/pypi/spidev ) get it by apt-get commands.

Please take a note, your Raspberry Pi should be connected to the network when using the command apt-get to install the library. Before the installation, you can run the following command to update your software list. 

sudo apt-get update
  1. Run the following command to install the package python-dev
    sudo apt-get install python-dev
  2. Installing the RPi.GPIO package (GPIO interface functions). Copy the installation package RPi.GPIO to your RPi board, and unzip it. Enter the unzipped file under the terminal, and run the following command to install the library:
    sudo python setup.py install
  3. Run the following command to install the library smbus (I2C interface functions)
    sudo apt-get install python-smbus
  4. Run the following command to install the library serial, which contains UART interface functions
    sudo apt-get install python-serial
  5. Installing the library spidev (SPI functions). Copy the installation package spidev to your RPi board, and unzip it. Enter the unzip file under the terminal, and run the following command to install the library:
    sudo python setup.py install
  6. Run the following command to install the Python imaging library
    sudo apt-get install python-imaging

Configuring the interfaces

(Before running the API codes we provided, you should start up the corresponding core drivers of the interfaces. In the ready-to-use system image file, both I2C and SPI are set to Enable by default, but the serial port is still in the terminal debugging function mode.)

  1. Enable the I2C function. Run the following command to configure your Raspberry Pi board:
    sudo raspi-config
    Select Advanced Options -> I2C -> yes, to start up the I2C core driver. Then you also need to modify the configuration file. Run the following command to open the configuration file:
    sudo nano /etc/modules
    Add the following two lines to the configuration file
    i2c-bcm2708
    i2c-dev
    Press the keys Ctrl+X to exit, and input Y to save the settings. Then, reboot the module to make the settings take effect.
  2. Enable the serial function. The serial port of RPi is set to serial terminal debugging function mode by default. If you want the serial port services as a common IO, you should modify the settings on the RPi. When the terminal debugging function is disabled, you cannot access RPi board via the serial port any more. If you want to control the RPi, you may need to enable the debugging function of the serial port again. 
    sudo raspi-config
    Select Advanced Options -> Serial. Select the option no can disable the serial debugging function. And then, the serial port can be used for serial communication. And select the option yes can enable the serial debugging function. You should reboot the module to make the settings take effect.
Note: the serial port on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is unusable, because Pin 14 and Pin 15 is connected to the on-board Bluetooth model.
  1. Start up the spi function, run the following command:
    sudo raspi-config
    Select Advanced Options -> I2C -> yes, to start up I2C core driver.
