==== Option 1: Serial console ====
 +
 +
Check [[rockpi4/dev/serial-console | Serial Console]]
 +
 +
==== Option 2: SSH ====
 +
SSH server  is enabled on port 22 of ROCK Pi 4 default image.
 +
 +
Please use [https://angryip.org/ angryip] to find your board IP address.
 +
 +
$ ping ip-of-device
 +
$ ssh rock@ip-of-device
 +
 +
=== Add Radxa APT ===
 +
 +
Follow the [https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/radxa-apt#Introduction Guide of Radxa APT] to add Radxa APT.
 +
 +
We suggest that you add '''bionic-testing''' APT Source to get the newest packages.
 +
 +
=== Network Connection ===
 +
 +
There are two methods for network connection. One is Ethernet and the other is WIFI.
 +
 +
==== Ethernet Connection ====
 +
You can use a network cable (one end connected to the external network port or route)  to connect your ROCK Pi 4 to the network. The ROCK Pi 4 will automatically configure the network for your surfing on the Internet.
 +
 +
==== To test the Ethernet, we need to follow the steps: ====
 +
* Switch to super user mode by command
 +
  $ sudo su
 +
 +
* Check whether the Ethernet is normal by command, ifconfig, which would show us a network card, eth0, and the Ethernet IP address. Also, use tool, ping, to connect to a normal domain.
 +
 +
  $ ifconfig
 +
  $ ping www.baidu.com
 +
 +
==== WIFI Connection ====
 +
 +
When there is not a network cable for your ROCK Pi 4 the WIFI connection is another good choice. ROCK Pi 4 supports 2.4G/5G WIFI wireless network.
 +
 +
=====To test the WIFI performance, we need to follow the steps:=====
 +
 +
* Switch to super user mode
 +
  $ sudo su
 +
 +
* Open the WIFI
 +
  $ nmcli r wifi on
 +
 +
* Scan WIFI
 +
  $ nmcli dev wifi
 +
 +
* Connect to WIFI network
 +
  $ nmcli dev wifi connect "wifi_name" password "wifi_password"
 +
 +
* Test WIFI perpormance by tool iperf.

Please use angryip to find your board IP address.

$ ping ip-of-device
$ ssh rock@ip-of-device

Add Radxa APT

Follow the Guide of Radxa APT to add Radxa APT.

We suggest that you add bionic-testing APT Source to get the newest packages.

Network Connection

There are two methods for network connection. One is Ethernet and the other is WIFI.

Ethernet Connection

You can use a network cable (one end connected to the external network port or route) to connect your ROCK Pi 4 to the network. The ROCK Pi 4 will automatically configure the network for your surfing on the Internet.

To test the Ethernet, we need to follow the steps:

  • Switch to super user mode by command
 $ sudo su
  • Check whether the Ethernet is normal by command, ifconfig, which would show us a network card, eth0, and the Ethernet IP address. Also, use tool, ping, to connect to a normal domain.
 $ ifconfig
 $ ping www.baidu.com

WIFI Connection

When there is not a network cable for your ROCK Pi 4 the WIFI connection is another good choice. ROCK Pi 4 supports 2.4G/5G WIFI wireless network.

To test the WIFI performance, we need to follow the steps:
  • Switch to super user mode
 $ sudo su
  • Open the WIFI
 $ nmcli r wifi on
  • Scan WIFI
 $ nmcli dev wifi
  • Connect to WIFI network
 $ nmcli dev wifi connect "wifi_name" password "wifi_password"
  • Test WIFI perpormance by tool iperf.

Option 2: Install pre-built binaries
Install Ubuntu desktop

To use OpenCV, an OS desktop is necessary. If your ROCK Pi 4 is running Ubuntu but without desktop, you can install Ubuntu mate desktop.

   $ sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-core && sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop
Install all the recommended packages

Required:

   $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
   $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
   $ sudo apt-get install cmake git libgtk2.0-dev pkg-config libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev

Recommended optional packages:

   $ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy libtbb2 libtbb-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libdc1394-22-dev
   $ sudo apt install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libavresample-dev
   $ sudo apt install tesseract-ocr cmake-data liblept5

Install OpenCV package:

   $ sudo apt-get install opencv4.0
Step 3: Test OpenCV

To check the version of your installed OpenCV, try this:

   rock@linux:~$ python
   Python 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15) 
   [GCC 7.3.0] on linux2
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import cv2
   >>> cv2.__version__
   '4.0.1'
   >>>

Obtain OpenCV sample:

   $ cd ~
   $ wget -O opencv.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/4.0.1.zip
   $ unzip opencv.zip
   
   $ cd ~/opencv-4.0.1/samples/python
   $ python watershed.py
