Install Libmraa

Below is the instructions of how to install libmraa.

Install essential packages

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following:

  • For Debian Buster
   deb http://apt.radxa.com/buster-testing/ buster main
  • For Ubuntu Focal
   deb http://apt.radxa.com/focal-testing/ focal main

Get the pub key

  • For Debian Buster
   wget -O -  apt.radxa.com/buster-testing/public.key | sudo apt-key add -
  • For Ubuntu Focal
   wget -O -  apt.radxa.com/focal-testing/public.key | sudo apt-key add -

Update

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Install essential packages:

   sudo apt-get install -y rockchip-overlay && sudo apt-get install -y rockpi4-dtbo

Install the latest u-boot and kernel (optional)

   apt-get install rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest

Manually run the u-boot flash script

   /usr/local/sbin/rockpi4b_upgrade_bootloader.sh

Type YES to perform the uboot.img flashing. then install kernel

   apt-get install linux-base
   apt-get install linux-4.4-latest

After installation, check file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. It lists all kernel version installed in ROCK Pi. The kernel corresponding to the first label is the newest version and the first boot option.

Enable interface

See rockpi4 GPIO pinout,ROCK Pi 4 has a 40-pin expansion header. Each pin is distinguished by color. mraa define follow:

27 GPIO:

   PIN03    GPIO2_A2
   PIN05    GPIO2_B0

   intfc:uart2=off
   intfc:uart4=off
   intfc:spi1=off
   intfc:spi2=off
   intfc:i2c2=off
   intfc:i2c6=off
   intfc:i2c7=off
   
   # Devicetree Overlay Enable, uncomment to enable .dtbo under /boot/overlays/.
   
   #intfc:dtoverlay=at24c02

   root@localhost:/# 

then reboot to make them effective

Install libmraa

   apt-get install libmraa

Test

test gpio

Use mraa-gpio tool to test

   rock@rockpi4b:~$  sudo mraa-gpio set 40 0  //pin40 pull low

test i2c

Firstly, modify the /boot/hw_intfc.conf file as following and then reboot to enable i2c2 i2c6 i2c7.

   # Hardware Interface Config 
   # For more details, check https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/devtree_overlays. 
   # Set "on" to enable the optional hardware interfaces while set "off" to disable
   intfc:pwm0=off
   intfc:pwm1=off
   intfc:uart2=off
   intfc:uart4=off
   intfc:spi1=off
   intfc:spi2=off
   intfc:i2c2=on
   intfc:i2c6=on
   intfc:i2c7=on


Then, use mraa-i2c tool to test,we must have a i2c slave device,for example,we use I2C EEPROM:

   rock@rockpi4b:~$ mraa-i2c list
   Bus   0: id=07 type=linux  default
   Bus   1: id=02 type=linux 
   Bus   2: id=06 type=linux 
   rock@rockpi4b:~$ sudo mraa-i2c detect 0       //device on bus 0  //i2c7
   00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   50: 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
   70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
   rock@rockpi4b:~$ sudo mraa-i2c set 0 0x50 0x10 0x55   //write                                                                                                                          
   Device 50, Register = 10, Value = 55
   rock@rockpi4b:~$ sudo mraa-i2c get 0 0x50 0x10              //read                                                                                              
   Register 0X10 = 0X55

test spi

fristly,modiy /boot/hw_intfc.conf,if use spi1,must disable uart4,if use spi2,disable i2c6.follow:

   rock@rockpi4b:~$ cat /boot/hw_intfc.conf 
   
   # Hardware Interface Config
   # For more details, check https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/devtree_overlays.
   # Set "on" to enable the optional hardware interfaces while set "off" to disable.
   
   intfc:pwm0=off
   intfc:pwm1=off
   intfc:uart2=off
   intfc:uart4=off
   intfc:spi1=on
   intfc:spi2=on
   intfc:i2c2=off
   intfc:i2c6=off
   intfc:i2c7=off
   
   # Devicetree Overlay Enable, uncomment to enable .dtbo under /boot/overlays/.
   
   #intfc:dtoverlay=at24c02
   #intfc:dtoverlay=two-color-led
   #intfc:dtoverlay=console-on-ttyS2
   #intfc:dtoverlay=console-on-ttyS4
   intfc:dtoverlay=devspi1           #spi1
   intfc:dtoverlay=devspi2           #spi2

If need debug console, you could uncomment intfc:dtoverlay=console-on-ttyS2

use c to test spi,compile spi.c,if use spi1,must disable

   root@rockpi4b:~# cat spi.c
   #include <signal.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <unistd.h>
   
   /* mraa header */
   #include "mraa/spi.h"
   
   /* SPI declaration */
   #define SPI_BUS 0
   
   /* SPI frequency in Hz */
   #define SPI_FREQ 400000
   int
   main(int argc, char** argv)
   {
       mraa_result_t status = MRAA_SUCCESS;
       mraa_spi_context spi;
       int i, j;
   
       /* initialize mraa for the platform (not needed most of the times) */
       mraa_init();
   
       //! [Interesting]
       /* initialize SPI bus */
       spi = mraa_spi_init(SPI_BUS);
       if (spi == NULL) {
           fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize SPI\n");
           mraa_deinit();
           return EXIT_FAILURE;
       }
   
       /* set SPI frequency */
       status = mraa_spi_frequency(spi, SPI_FREQ);
       if (status != MRAA_SUCCESS)
           goto err_exit;
   
       /* set big endian mode */
       status = mraa_spi_lsbmode(spi, 0);
       if (status != MRAA_SUCCESS) {
           goto err_exit;
       }
       while(1) {
           printf("0x%x\n",mraa_spi_write(spi, 0xaa));
       }
   err_exit:
       mraa_result_print(status);
   
       /* stop spi */
       mraa_spi_stop(spi);
   
       /* deinitialize mraa for the platform (not needed most of the times) */
       mraa_deinit();
   
       return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }
   root@rockpi4b:~# gcc spi.c -lmraa

then short pin19 and pin21 and run a.out

   root@rockpi4b:~# ./a.out 
   0xaa
   0xaa
   ......

test pwm

for pwm c test,should install gcc

apt-get install gcc

modiy /boot/hw_intfc.conf,if use spi1,must disable uart4,if use spi2,disable i2c6.follow:

  # Hardware Interface Config
  # For more details, check https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/devtree_overlaays.
  # Set "on" to enable the optional hardware interfaces while set "off" to disablee

  intfc:pwm0=on
  intfc:pwm1=on
  intfc:uart2=off
  intfc:uart4=off
  intfc:spi1=off
  intfc:spi2=off
  intfc:i2c2=off
  intfc:i2c6=off
  intfc:i2c7=off

Use c program in /usr/local/share/mraa/examples/c/pwm.c to test:

Modify the macro PWM in /usr/local/share/mraa/examples/c/pwm.c as follows to test PWM0. To test PWM1, change #define PWM 11 to #define PWM 13.

/* PWM declaration */ 
#define PWM 11

save and compile pwm.c

  root@rockpi4b:/usr/local/share/mraa/examples/c# gcc -o pwm pwm.c -lmraa
  root@rockpi4b:/usr/local/share/mraa/examples/c# ./pwm
  PWM value is 0.010045
  PWM value is 0.019985
  PWM value is 0.030030 
  PWM value is 0.039971
  PWM value is 0.050016
  PWM value is 0.059956
  PWM value is 0.070001
  PWM value is 0.080046

test uart

Disable console and enable uart2 and uart4 for uart test

   root@rockpi4b:~# cat /boot/hw_intfc.conf 
   
   # Hardware Interface Config
   # For more details, check https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/devtree_overlays.
   # Set "on" to enable the optional hardware interfaces while set "off" to disable.
   
   intfc:pwm0=on
   intfc:pwm1=on
   intfc:uart2=on
   intfc:uart4=on
   intfc:spi1=off
   intfc:spi2=off
   intfc:i2c2=off
   intfc:i2c6=off
   intfc:i2c7=off
   
   # Devicetree Overlay Enable, uncomment to enable .dtbo under /boot/overlays/.
   
   #intfc:dtoverlay=at24c02
   #intfc:dtoverlay=two-color-led
   #intfc:dtoverlay=console-on-ttyS2
   #intfc:dtoverlay=console-on-ttyS4
   root@rockpi4b:~# 

then reboot. Connect your serial line to the corresponding serial port. use ssh connect to rockpi4,we must have 2 windows(ssh and serial console ),one is for send data,anothor is for receive.

send command follow:

   sudo mraa-uart dev 0 baud 1500000 send  data   
   or
   sudo mraa-uart dev 1 baud 1500000 send  data

receive command follow:

   sudo mraa-uart dev 0 baud 1500000 recv  1000
   or
   sudo mraa-uart dev 1 baud 1500000 recv  1000

the receive window will show the data

test adc

connect signal you want to measure,and then compile mraa examplec file to test.

   root@rockpi4b:/usr/local/share/mraa/examples/c# gcc -o aio aio.c -lmraa 
   root@rockpi4b:/usr/local/share/mraa/examples/c#./aio
   ADC A0 read 3FF - 1023
