This section describes in detail each interface/port on the board. For more details users can

refer to the complete schematics in the CDs shipped together with this product.

1.3.1 Address Space

The S3C2440 has two boot modes: Nand flash and Nor flash.

(HY57V561620FTP/MT48LC16M16A2). The starting address is 0x30000000.

SST39VF1601, 2M bytes and the Nand Flash is K9F2G08, 256M bytes. By switching the on

board S2 switch you can boot the board from either the Nor Flash or the Nand Flash. The

following shows the Nor Flash and Nand Flash’s schematics

1.3.4 Power
The Mini2440 takes an external 5V power and converts it to 3.3V, 1.8V and 1.25V.

1.3.6 LED
The Mini2440 has 4 LEDs which are directly connected to GPIOs and effective on low

level.
LED1 LED2 LED3 LED4
GPIO GPB5 GPB6 GPB7 GPB8
Multiplexed nXBACK nXREQ nXDACK1 nDREQ1
name nLED_1 nLED_2 nLED_3 nLED_4

Note: CON12.7 is connected to power(3.3V) and CON12.8 is gound(GND)

1.3.8 AD Conversion
The Mini2440 has 4 ADC channels (CON4-GPIO) for different purposes. AIN0 is

connected to a adjustable resistor for testing

corresponds to GPB0 which can be configured as PWM output via software or used as a

GPIO.

1.3.10 Serial Port

The S3C2440 has three serial ports: UART0、1 and 2.

As for the Mini2440 the UART0 is converted to RS232 (COM0).

Details of CON1，CON2 and CON3 are as follows:

Host functions the same as on PC's. You can access USB camera, USB keyboard, USB

mouse, USB flash drives and other common USB peripherals. You can also use USB Hub

extensions. Each OS has native USB Hub drivers. The USB Slave is generally used to

download from a host. If you use WinCE, connecting from a PC to this USB port will invoke

ActiveSync and the Mini2440 can be viewed as a volume, and data and programs dragged

and dropped between host PC and the Mini2440 and the other USB slave.

1.3.12 LCD Interface

The Mini2440 has an LCD interface which is a 0.5mm spacing 41 pin connector.

clock, enable, disable etc., and 8:8:8 models of RGB data. It has a PWM output and a reset

signal (nRESET). LCD_PWR is the backlight switch signal.

1.3.13 EEPROM
The Mini2440 has an I2C (AT24C08) pin which is directly connected to the CPU. The

EEPROM has 256 bytes.

1.3.15 Audio
The S3C2440 supports I2S which can be directly connected to 8/16 bit CODEC. The

Micro2440 uses the I2S interface with the UDA1341.

The audio output is on the 3.5mm green jack. The board also has a microphone input.

When recording we suggest users to move the microphone close to the audio source

without any data. We will burn the first program to it through the JTAG interface, which is

SUPERVIVI. With SUPERVIVI, we can download more programs and utilities to the board

via USB further. In addition, the JTAG is more often used for debugging. In fact, most of the

widely used utilities in markets like JLINK, ULINK and other simulators actually work via

the JTAG interface. A standard JTAG has 4 signals :TMS, TCK, TDI and TDO which are

test mode select input, test clock, test data input and test data output. These 4 signal lines

plus a power line and a ground line form 6 lines in total. In order for testing, most simulators

even have a reset signal. Therefore, a standard JTAG is meant to have those signal lines, and

it does not mean whether it is 20Pin or 10Pin. As long as a JTAG interface has those signal

lines, it will be a standard JTAG interface. The mini2440 has a 10Pin JTAG interface which

has complete standard JTAG signals.

Notes: for beginners who just want to focus on Linux or WinCE development, a JTAG

interface has no significance because most development boards already have a complete BSP

which includes commonly needed serial ports, network port and USB port. When a board

runs with Linux or WinCE installed, users can fully utilize more convenient functions and

utilities provided by the operating system to debug. They do not need a JTAG. Even if you

can trace your programs it will be extremely tough to step debug because it will go into the

operating system. A JTAG interface might only be usable for users who do not need to run a

complicated operating system or just need a simple operating system (such as uCos2). Most

development boards which already have a Bootloader or BIOS are completely functional and

do not need to be debugged.

1.3.17 GPIO
GPIO is the abbreviated form of General Purpose Input Output. The mini2440 has a 34

Pin 2.0mm GPIO interface, i.e. CON4. In fact, CON4 has not only quite a few GPIO pins but

also some CPU pins such as AD0-AIN3, CLKOUT and so on. The SPI interface, I2C

interface, GPB0 interface and GPB1 in the schematic are all GPIO, but they are marked as

special function interfaces. They can be configured for other purposes too by setting related

CPU registers

1.3.18 CMOS Camera

The S3C2440 has a CMOS camera interface. It is marked as CAMERA on the schematic.

It is a 20 pin 2.0mm connector, users can directly use the CAM130 module we provide. The

CAM130 module does not have any circuits. It is basically just a converter and directly

connects to a ZT130G2 camera module.

Notes: the camera interface is a multiplexed port. It can be used as GPIO by setting

corresponding registers. The schematic below presents its pin details

1.3.19 System Bus

The system bus is CON5. It contains 16 data lines (D0-D15), 8 address lines (A0-A6,

A24), and some control signal lines (such as chip select, read/write, reset and so on). CON5

can provide 5V output. In fact very few users would extend interfaces through system bus.

Below is the detailed information about CON5’s pins.

recommend our users to read them carefully. Although those details may seem tedious and

boring they list very useful references and notes which will be of great help for developers.

By default, all our systems have been preinstalled Linux (located in the shipped CDs’

directory /images/Linux are Superboot, zImage, root-qtopia-qt4.img etc) therefore you

could easily play once you get it.

- The on board CON1, 2, 3 and 4 are CPU UART0, 1, 2 and 3. UART0 has been converted to

RS232, and extended to COM0 via DB9. On system startup it has been set to the console

terminal, so it cannot be tested via this utility. The other three ports CON2, 3 and 4 must be

converted to RS232 before they can communicate with a PC serial port. (FriendlyARM has a

“OneCom” RS232 conversion module) When connect the ports to a PC, please make sure to

use a correct serial cable (crossover serial line).

yellow drawing area will show up. Draw whatever you like in the area (the pen color is black,

its width is 1 pixel), go to “File” -> “Save”, you will save what you draw to a png file (in the

“Documents” tab, the /Documents/image/png/ directory). The file name begins with 001. The

maximum number of files that can be saved is 999. The following screenshot shows that our

writing was smooth which meant our pen was accurate.

2.5.27 Barcode Scanner

Our system supports USB barcode scanners which are actually a HID device very similar to

a USB keyboard. Therefore a barcode scanner can work any where a USB keyboard works.

Note: before start this utility, please make sure to plug in your scanner.

Click on the “text editor” icon in the “Application Programs” subgroup, scan a code with

your scanner, then you will see the code number displayed in the editor.

2.5.28 Language Setting

Qtopia 2.2.0 has a language setting utility which is different from the one in Qtopia 1.7.0.

It only supports English. Therefore we developed a new utility located in the “FriendlyARM”

tab (the icon is a waving flag).

It now supports three languages: English, Chinese and Japanese. When you select “English”,

then click on “OK”, a message will popup asking you if you want to change your language

Chinese and Japanese versions only have file names translated).

2.5.29 Time Zone, Date, Time and Alarm Setting

When you get our system the date and time usually might not be right. You can adjust

them by yourself. Because the CPU has its own RTC and the board has a backup battery after

you adjust the date and time, they will be saved. To adjust them, click on the time zone area

at the right bottom of the screen a menu will show up. Please select “Set time..” and open the

setting interface where you can set parameters such as time zone, date, time and so on

Select “Clock” from the menu.

Besides you can set the alarm clock. When it is triggered you will hear a beeping sound

which lasts about one minute and the following popup window will show up. Click on “OK” to

close the alarm clock.

2.5.30 Rotate Screen

Click on the “rotation” icon in the “settings” tab to enter its interface. You can rotate the

screen in four directions.

Note: sometimes you need to reboot Qtopia to see the rotation. It is a Qtopia utility and we

haven’t made any change to it. In addition the rotation effect is implemented via Qtopia

software and has nothing to do with LCD drivers.

After rotation you will notice that all “FriendlyARM” utilities get rotated too. We

implemented this feature to make our utilities displayed properly with different LCDs

2.5.31 Setup AutoRun Program

By setting “auto run” you can make Qtopia launch its own or your programs after it boots

up. It is very similar to what you see in Windows “Programs -> Startup”.

Click on the “Auto Start Setting” icon in the “FriendlyARM” tab.

Those programs listed are available programs including all Qtopia programs. The status

column indicates whether a program is set to auto start. The status is unique. For instance, if

the “Serial Port Assistant” is checked its status will show “Auto Start”, click on “Save”, a

message box will pop up prompting that the net setting has been successfully saved. Close this

utility, reboot the system you will see the “Serial Port Assistant” is auto run.

To disable auto run for a program, just click on “Clean” and “Close”, a message box will

pop up, click on “Yes” the auto run for that program will be disabled.

Shutdown: Press this button, Linux will end all the programs and services to shutdown the

whole system. After the whole system is shutdown, the CPU will not be running and

the system consumes lest power. However since our system doesn’t have a hardware power

down circuit you still can see the power LED on the board is on.

Reboot: This is a “hot” reboot button. If your system boots from the Nor Flash, after you

press this button, the system will shutdown, reboot and enter the supervivi main menu. If

your system boots from the Nand Flash, after you press this button, the system will shutdown,

reboot and enter the Qtopia interface.

Note: Reboot is different from the “Watchdog” function we will introduce. The “Watchdog”

is “cold” reboot and doesn’t end programs or services but reset the system instead.

Restart Server: it restarts the Qtopia system only. It doesn’t interrupt the running Linux.

Terminate Server: it shuts down the Qtopia system. After press this button, the Qtopia

interface will be disabled. What is left on the screen is the left data in RAM and it is not an

active graphic interface.

Note: the original Qtopia 2.2.0 system doesn’t “shutdown” or “reboot” effectively, we

changed its code to make it work.

has a watchdog. The latest Linux kernel has drivers for it.

Click on the “Watchdog” icon in the “FriendlyARM” tab

Note: before take any action, please read the notes in the red area: once start, no way out,

feed the dog, or else reboot!

Here we set a countdown time 15 seconds. To feed the dog, click on the “Feed” button.

Keep feeding, it will always have bones and the system will not reboot.

2.5.34 Start QtE-4.6.3

In order for users to switch freely and smoothly between different systems we

implemented a feature that allows Qtopia-2.2.0 and QtE-4.6.3 to co-exist in the same file

system. In Qtopia-2.2.0, by clicking on a common application icon users will be able to start

QtE-4.6.3. After close the QtE-4.6.3 utility, users will be able to return to Qtopia-2.2.0.

QtE-4.6.3 runs as follows. It is a program manager that displays a CoverFlow effect. You

can drag it left and right and run it by clicking on one of the Covers.

You can exit QtE-4.6.3 by clicking on “Exit Embedded Demo” and return to Qtopia-2.2.0

commands are very similar (99% of them are identical) across different versions. Before step

in this section, please set up your super terminal properly.

Below is a screenshot of system login via super terminal. Just press “Enter” as prompted

to continue.

2.6.1 Play MP3

The madplay utility is an mp3 player migrated by FriendlyARM. It can be run in various

ways and the most straightforward one is this:

#madplay your.mp3

“madplay -h”. Below is a screenshot of how it works.

2.6.2 Terminate Program

To terminate a running program you can press Ctrl + C in a terminal. For instance, if you

are running madplay you can press Ctrl + C to terminate it. If a program runs in the

background you need to issue the “kill” command to terminate it.

2.6.3 Mount USB Drive/Portable Hard Disk

After inserting a USB drive, the system will automatically create a “/udisk” directory and

mount the drive on it, you will see the following messages:

The USB drive has a device name “/dev/udisk”. Entering the “/udisk” directory, you will

be able to browse its contents.

Note: if your drive cannot be detected, please check whether it is FAT32/VFAT.

After inserting an SD card, you will see the following messages:

The system will create a “/sdcard” directory and mount the SD card on it.

between your board and the PC via “rz” or “sz”.

(1) Send files to PC via “sz”

In the hyper terminal window right click the mouse, select “receive file” and make the

following configurations

Then type “sz /shanghaitan.mps” command in the hyper terminal’s commandline and it

will send the file to PC.

In the hyper terminal’s commandline please type “rz” to receive files from PC. Then in the

hyper terminal window right click the mouse, select “send file” and make the following

configurations

Click on “send” to start file transferring

2.6.6 LED Test

(1) LED Server

After the system starts up it will automatically start a LED service (/etc/rc.d/init.d/leds). It

actually runs a led-player script. After the led-player script is run a pipe file led-control will

be created in the /tmp directory.

Users can change an LED’s flashing by setting its parameters

#echo 0 0.2 > /tmp/led-control

After this command is executed each of the 4 LEDs will be flashing one by one with 0.2

second in between.

#echo 1 0.2 >/tmp/led-control

After this command is executed 4 LEDs will be running one by one with 0.2 second in

between.

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/leds stop

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/leds start

After this command is executed all 4 LEDs will be turned on.

(2) Manipulating a Single LED

The /bin/leds utility can be used to manipulate a single led. To launch this utility, users

need to stop the led-player service first:

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/leds stop

This command will stop the led-player service. To get more information for the usage

of “led” you can type the following command:

[root@fa /]# led

Usage: leds led_no 0|1

led_no: the LED you want to manipulate (0/1/2/3). “0” and “1” represents “turn off” and

“turn on” respectively

#led 2 1

This will turn on LED3

2.6.7 User Button Test

Type the “buttons” command, press a user button and you will see the following scenario

It doesn’t rely on system calls or hardware. After Linux is loaded Serial Ports1, 2, 3 and 4

correspond to /dev/ttySAC0, 1, 2 and 3.

To test Serial Port 2 you need a PC with a serial port. Please connect CON2 to the PC via

our extension board. Type the following command:

#armcomtest –d /dev/ttySAC1 -o

Now if you type characters (in Serial Port Assistant) on your board they will be output to

your PC’s super terminal simultaneously and vice versa

To test Serial Port 3 you need to connect CON3 via our extension board and type the

#armcomtest –d /dev/ttySAC2 -o

Here is a screenshot

2.6.9 PWM Buzzer Test

Type “pwm_test” in a terminal and you will be able to hear beeps. Press “+” or “-” you

can turn up or down. Press “ESC” to exit.

We also implement the feature of adjusting backlight for accurate touch LCDs. It supports

up to 127 levels of adjustment. To turn off the backlight you can feed “0” to the device file

as follows:

Type the command: echo 0 > /dev/backlight

When feed 1-127 to the device file you will observe different levels of light. 127 is the

highest.In general 15 will begin to show some light. 1-15 makes the screen completely dark.

Values higher than 127 will be treated as 127.

Try: echo 15 > /dev/backlight you will be able to see some light.

2.6.11 I2C-EEPROM Test

The I2C-EEPROM’s device name is “/dev/i2c/0”

Type “i2c –w” in a terminal you will be able to write data (0x00-0xff) to 24C08.

2.6.12 AD Conversion Test

Type “adc-test” in a terminal, you will be able to test AD conversion. By adjusting the W1

resistor you will observe the output.

“camtest” you will be able to preview

2.6.14 Telnet
“Telnet” is a popular utility. If your board is connected to the internet you can telnet a bbs.

First make sure your board’s IP is 192.168.1.230 and your board is communicating with

other machines.

Now you can telnet a BBS. Here we visited “bbs.scut.edu.cn”.

2.6.15 Ethernet Configuration

Connect your board to the internet, write down your gateway IP (the one in our example

was 192.168.1.1) and configure your router:

# route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Now you can visit an IP address on the internet e.g. you can ping bbs.scut.edu.cn (IP:

202.112.17.137):

#ping 202.112.17.137

If it is a success you will see the following output

from your network manager

The one in our example was “202.96.128.86”. Therefore we set our board as follows:

#rm /etc/resolv.conf; This is to remove the existing configuration file.

#touch /etc/resolv.conf; This is to generate a resolv.conf file

resolv.conf with your DNS IP or you can edit it with vi.

2.6.16 Configure MAC Address

The MAC address in the Mini2440 is “soft” therefore you can change it via “ifconfig”.

First check your current MAC address via “ifconfig”:

#ifconfig ;

In our example the MAC was “08：90：90：90：90：90”, this is the default MAC

address and has been hard-coded in the kernel. If you want to update it you have to

recompile the kernel. In order to change the MAC dynamically you need to close your

network connection and then fill your new MAC:

#ifconfig eth0 down

#ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:AA:BB:CC:DD; note: a,b,c,d,e,f… could be lower case

Restart the network, check your MAC via “ifconfig” and verify your network via “ping”:

#ifconfig eth0 up

#ifconfig

#ping 192.168.1.1

2.6.17 Telnet Mini2440

If the system reboots normally it will automatically start a telnet service therefore users

can telnet the board too. You can try typing “telnet 192.168.1.230” from a command line,

type “root” and you will be able to login.

remote host via “ftp” in the command line utility in both Linux and Windows. Users can

transfer files to the board from a host PC.

Note: please make sure you have a file ready in your FTP directory. Here we had

“test.mp3”.The account for login is plg and the password is plg.

After file transfer is doen you will see a test.mp3 file in your target board’s /home/plg

directory.

following page will be loaded

You can test each of these items. The “LED Test” manipulates the LEDs via CGI and

it includes two display modes and three display rates.

To stop the web service you need to type the following commands:

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

Then restart the service

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

2.6.22 Set System Clock

The Linux command for updating time is “date”, to synchronize the S3C2440 time with

(1) date -s 042916352007 #set time to 2007-04-29 16:34

(2) hwclock -w # save your setting to S3C2440’s RTC

(3) Command “hwclock –s” to update Linux’s system time with RTC. Usually this command

will be included in “/etc/init.d/rcS” for auto run

Note: our system’s “/etc/init.d/rcS” includes “hwclock –s” already.

2.6.23 Save Data to Flash Permanently

The Mini2440 system supports yaffs2 thus can save data permenantly even when the

system is powered off. After the system boots please try the following command:

#cp / shanghaitan.mp3 /home/plg

This will create a duplicate file under “/home/plg”. Power off and on you will observe that

the file still exists.

2.6.24 Setup Autorun Program on System Startup

Users can set up programs that will be automatically run on system startup in the boot

script. It is similar to Window’s Autobat. It is under the /etc/init.d/rcS directory, the contents

are as follows (they may be different in differed systems)

#! /bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:

environment on a PC.

3.1 Set up Fedora 9.0 Development Environment

First of all you need to install Fedora 9.0 on a PC and set up your Linux development

environment. All our software development and testing for the Mini2440 were based on

Fedora 9.0. We didn’t do it on other platforms. We strongly suggest that our users should use

this platform which you can download from its website

(ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-9-i38

6-DVD.iso).

The reason why we chose Fedora 9.0 is that it is easy to be installed and set up. Fedora 10

and later versions are more complicated and therefore may not be easy for beginners and

Fedora 8 and earlier versions are a little bit obsolete. Please follow the steps below to install.

3.1.1 Install Fedora 9.0

Step1：Insert the first disk in the CDROM/DVD, set the boot sequence to CDROM in the

BIOS. After reboot it will prompt the user to the following interface, just press “enter”.

next step

Step3：it enters the graphic interface, click on the “Next” button.

Step 6：configure the network.

In our example, we didn’t set it as “DHCP”, we used a static IP instead, and typed

the IP and subnet mask as follows.

Click on the OK button and go on to set the machine name, gateway and DNS.

Step 8：set up the administrator’s password, i.e. the root’s password. “root” is the super user.

It should be at least 6 characters

Click on “Next”, it will warn the user that all the data will be deleted. Usually we would do

this installation in VMWARE, so we chose “Write changes to disk” and disk format would

begin.

Step 11：select the installation type, in this example, we chose “customize”

Step 12：configure the “server” item as follows:

Step15: after installation completed, click on the reboot button on the page shown in step 14

Step17: create new users. We ignored user creation and went to the next step.

Step18: setup date and time. We ignored this and went to the next step.

On the popup window shown below, just click on the red marked button.

Step 20: on the login page, login as “root”

Below is the interface the user will see after a successful login.

Step 1: go to “Users and Groups”

Step 2: open the “Users Manager” window

Click on “OK”, you will see that a new “plg” user has been created, and a “plg” directory has

been created in the “/home” directory too.

Fedora9 system as long as they can communicate. To connect to a Windows from a virtual

machine, the easiest way is to set “Guest” to “Bridge” in the network configuration.

To access shared files in Windows, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: set a shared directory in Windows. Here we set a “share_f9”

Open the window below:

Select “Windows share” in the “service type” field

Click on “connect”, the following window will show up:

If you want to access this directory from the command line utility, you can do it by hitting

the TAB key.

3.1.4 Set up NFS Service

If you have installed Fedora9 on your system, all the corresponding NFS components will

be installed by default, you can just follow the steps below to setup and configure the NFS

service.

Step 1: Setting Up a Shared Directory

Note: to access a shared directory, you need to follow what were described in 5.4.2 to install

the root_qtopia system.

(1) Set up Shared Directories

Run the command below:

#gedit /etc/exports

This command edits the NFS configuration file. Add the following line (Note：if this file

is opened for the first time, it will be empty):

/opt/FriendlyARM/Mini2440/root_qtopia_qt4

*(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
“/opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia_qt4” is a NFS shared directory, it can be

mounted as the root file system through NFS;

* means all clients can mount to this directory.

rw means all clients that have been mounted to this directory have the read and write

rights to this directory.

no_root_squash means all clients that have been mounted to this directory can be set to a

root user

Step 2: Starting NFS

You can start the NFS service through either command line or graphic interface. We set up

the NFS service to let others access shared directories. By default Fedora starts it firewall

which will disable the NFS service. So you need to disable the firewall by typing “lokkit” in

a command line window.

Now you can start the NFS service:

(1) Start and Stop the NFS service

Run the command below:

#/etc/init.d/nfs start

This command will start the NFS service. The user can verify whether the service is

running by commanding:

# mount -t nfs localhost: /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia_qt4 /mnt/

If no err messages come up, the user can then browse the contents of the “/mnt” directory

and verify if the contents are the same as the

“/opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia_qt4” directory.

Stop the service by commanding:

#/etc/init.d/nfs stop

(2) Starting the NFS service through the graphic interface

To auto run the service on system startup, the user can execute the command below:

# serviceconf

Open the system configuration window, on the left side of the window, check the NFS box,

click on the “Enable” button to start it.

After setting up and running the NFS service, the user can set the NFS as the root file

system to boot the board. To boot the system via NFS, the board can fully utilize a “big” hard

disk because the user can use the host PC’s hard disk, this trick is widely used in Linux

development.

Switch the target board’s boot mode to the “SDBOOT” side (note: you need to enter the

super terminal menu, please refer to 2.4), connect the power cable, serial port cable and the

network cable, and open a super terminal. Type the following command:

console=ttySAC0 root=/dev/nfs

nfsroot=192.168.1.111:/opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia_qt4

ip=192.168.1.70:192.168.1.111:192.168.1.111:255.255.255.0:sbc2440.arm9.net:eth0:off

“nfsroot” is the board’s IP. If you started a virtual machine this IP would be your virtual

machine’s IP.

The first item, in this example “192.168.1.70” is the target’s temporary IP (please make

sure this IP doesn’t conflict with other IPs within the same network);

The second item, in this example “192.168.1.111” is the host’s IP,

The third item, in this example “192.168.1.111” is the target board’s gateway IP,

The fourth item, in this example “255.255.255.0” is the subnet mask.

The fifth item is the board’s machine name (the user can give whatever name he likes)

“eth0” is the network adaptor’s name

This command is so long that it could be easily typed wrong. In this shipped CD, this

command has been written in the “nfs.txt” file for the customer’s convenience. The user can

copy it directly. After “enter” these parameters will be saved in the NAND Flash.

cross compile environment. We used arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3 and its by defauly supports armv6

command sets. The following steps will introduce how to build a compile environment.

Step 1: copy the compressed file “arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3.tgz” in the shipped CD into a system’s

directory, e.g “tmp\”, enter this directory and execute the following commands:

#cd \tmp

#tar xvzf arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3.tgz –C /

Note: there is a space after “C” and “C” is a capital letter.

These commands will install “arm-linux-gcc” in the “/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3”

Step 2: run the command below to add the compiler’s path to system variables:

#gedit /root/.bashrc

This is to edit the “/root/.bashrc” file. Update the last line with “export

PATH=$PATH:/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/bin” in the opened file, save and exit

the file.

“logout”), the above settings will take into effect. Type “arm-linux-gcc –v”, if the messages

depicted in the screen shot below appear, it indicates the compile environment has been set

up successfully

install some application utilities including:

- Linux kernel source code

- Qtopia-2.2.0 source code (for x86 and arm)

- QtE-4.6.3 (for ARM)

- Busybox-1.13 source code

- Sample programs code (developed by FriendlyArm)

- Target file system directory

- File system image maker

- Linux logo maker: logomaker

Note: all source code and utilities should be uncompressed and compiled with

arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3

3.3.1 Uncompress Source Code

Firstly, create a working directory: /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

After execute command “mkdir –p /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440”, all the source code in

the following steps will be uncompressed in this work directory

(1) Get Linux source code ready

In Fedora9, create a temporary director “/tmp/linux” by running the following command

Copy all the files in the linux directory in the shipped CD to “/tmp/linux”

(2) Uncompress the Linux kernel source code

In the work directory /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440, run the commands below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440-20100106.tar.gz

A linux-2.6.32.2 directory will be created, it includes a complete copy of linux kernel

source code.

Note: 20100106 is the date when FriendlyARM released the new version, the file name in

the shipped CD may be different.

(3) Uncompress and install Qtopia source code

In the work directory /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440, run the commands below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/x86-qtopia.tgz

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/arm-qtopia.tgz

An x86-qtopia directory and an arm-qtopia directory will be created, and their source code

will be uncompressed into these two directories.

Note: in this release, supports for mouse and tp are all included in one package. And the

source code for the embedded browser konquor is included too.

(4) Uncompress and install QtE-4.6.3 source code

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/arm-qte-4.6.3-20100802.tar.gz

An arm-qte-4.6.3 will be created, and their source code will be uncompressed into the

directory.

(5) Uncompress and install busybox source code

The Busybox is a compact Linux tool kit. Here we used busybox-1.13.3. Users can

download its latest version from http://www.busybox.net

In the work directory /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440, run the commands below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/busybox-1.13.3-mini2440.tgz

A busybox-1.13.3 directory will be created, and its source code will extracted into this

directory.

Note: for the sake of users, we have made a default configuration file: fa.config.

(6) Uncompress and install Linux sample programs

In the work directory /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440, run the commands below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/examples-20100108.tgz

An examples directory will be created, all the source code will be extracted into this

directory.

(7) Uncompress and install vboot

In the work directory /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440, run the commands below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/vboot-src-20100106.tar.gz

An examples directory will be created, all the source code will be extracted into this

directory.

(8) Uncompress and install other bootloader source code

Besides the vboot we have other bootloader (vivi and u-boot) soruce code as well. In the

work directory /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440, run the commands below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/bootloader.tgz

An examples directory will be created, all the source code will be extracted into this

directory.

3.3.2 Create Target File System

Execute the following commands:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/ rootfs_qtopia_qt4-20100816.tar.gz

A rootfs_qtopia_qt4 will be created.

has the following features:

- auto detection of NFS reboot or local reboot

- auto detection of touch screen and launching the calibration utility if necessary. If no touch

screen is connected system will enable the mouse.

- auto detection of command or high speed SD cards (up to maximum memory of 32G) and

flash drives

- auto detection of USB mouse or touch screen

- support co-existence of a USB mouse and a touch screen (since Linux-2.6.36)

3.3.3 Install Utilities

To burn a target file system to the board you need to make the file system an image first.

We offered two tools that can be used to make file images:mkyaffs2image and

mkyaffs2image-128M. The “mkyaffs2image” utility is for 64M and the

“mkyaffs2image-128M” is for 128M/256M/512M/1GB.

Below are the steps to install:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/mkyaffs2image.tgz –C /

This will create an “mkyaffs2image” in the “/usr/sbin” directory.

Note: “C” is capitalized and means “change”.

resources describing how to convert image files such as bmp, jpg, png and so on to linux

logos using command line tools. We created this graphic version which is based on Fedora9.

Execute the command below:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440

#tar xvzf /tmp/linux/logomaker.tgz –C /

Note: “C” is capitalized and means “change”.

After executing the above commands, LogoMaker will be installed in the /usr/sbin

directory. It only has one file. After installing it, type “logomake” in a command line window,

you will see the following screenshot

All the following programs are compiled with arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2 with EABI. We don’t

guarantee they can be compiled and run with other corss compilers. To check your compiler,

please type “arm-linux-gcc –v”

The following programs are developed by Friendly ARM. We have found that some

companies illegally copied our programs.

4.1 Sample Application Programs

4.1.1 “Hello, World”
The source code is under /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/examples/hello”.

155 / 257
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

printf("hello, FriendlyARM!\n");

Step1: Compile Hello,World

Enter the directory where the source code is located and execute “make”:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/examples/hello

#make

A “hello” executable will be generated and you can check whether it is for ARM by

commanding “file”:

Step2: Download “Hello,World” to Board

You can download your executable to the board in any of the following ways:

- FTP file transfer (recommended)

- Copy to a media (such as flash drives)

- File transfer via serial port

(1) FTP File Transfer

Note: login your board via FTP, transfer your executable to it and change its file property to

executable

First, execute your commands in PC

Go to your board and execute the following commands:

Note: copy your executable to a flash drive, mount it to your board and copy the file to

“/bin”

1. Copy to Flash Drive

Connect your flash drive to your PC and execute the following commands

#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; mount your drive

#cp hello /mnt ; copy your file to the drive

#umount /mnt ; unmount your drive

2. Copy to Board

Insert your drive to your board’s USB host, it will be automatically mounted under

“/udisk”. Please execute the following command

#cd /udisk

#./hello ；execute “hello”

Note: if you take out your drive directly you need to go back to the root directory and

execute “umount /udisk” for the next mount

Download your file to the board via serial port and change its property to executable

#chmod +x hello

Note: some users do this via a USB to Serial connector. This may not be successful due to

the connector’s quality issues therefore we recommend file transfer via FTP

(2) Run via NFS

It is very popular to launch programs via NFS in Linux. This saves download time

especially for large size files. Please set up your NFS server and type the commands below

(in our example the IP was 192.168.1.111):

#mount –t nfs –o nolock 192.168.1.111:/opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia /mnt

If the mounting is successful you can enter “/mnt” to manipulate your files. Please copy

“hello” to “opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/root_qtopia” and type the following commands:

#./hello

Please compile “udptalk.c”, there are two executables under

arm-udptalk. The make command will generate both. Please download “arm-udptalk” to the

board (the preinstalled Linux doesn’t have this), in our example, the host IP is 192.168.1.108

and the board’s IP is 192.168.1.230.

Type the following command on your host:

#./x86-udptalk 192.168.1.230 2000 192.168.1.108 2000

Type the following command on your board

#arm-udptalk 192.168.1.108 2000 192.168.1.230 2000

You will see the following results:

(1) Integrate Hello,Module into Kernel and Compile

Please follow the steps below to include the module into the kernel and compile (Note:

actually the following steps have been set up and you only need to directly compile it)：

Step1: configure “Kconfig”, add this module in the drivers and it will appear in make

menuconfig Open “linux-2.6.32.2/drivers/char/Kconfig” add lined marked in yellow

see your item in Device Drivers -> Character devices. Press the space key it will be marked

“<M>”. This means this souce code will be compiled as a module. Press the space key again

it will be marked “<*>” and it will be compiled into the kernel. Here we chose “<M>”

tolinkthe kernel configuration to the source code in “makefile”. Open

“linux-2.6.32.2/drivers/char/Makefile”, add the marked line shown below, save and exit

Step3: go back to the linux-2.6.32.2 source code directory, run “make modules” a

“mini2440_hello_module.ko” module will be generated. Prior to executing “make modules”,

you need to run “make zImage”. This only needs to be run once.

Please transfer “mini2440_hello_module.ko” to the board via FTP and move it to

“/lib/modules/2.6.29.4-FriendlyARM”

#modprobe mini2440_hello_module

You can observe that the module has been loaded (note: to load a module with “modprobe”

you don’t need to add the “ko” extension)

Run the following command and you will observe that the module has been unmounted

#rmmod mini2440_hello_module

Note: to load a module correctly, you need to move your module to the boards’s

“/lib/modules/2.6.29.4-FriendlyARM” directory. In addition, if your kernel’s version is

different from the example here please create a new directory for your kernel. Here it is

/lib/modules/2.6.29.4-FriendlyARM.

LED IO Register CPU Pin
LED1 GPB5 K2
LED2 GPB6 L5
LED3 GPB7 K7
LED4 GPB8 K5

To manipulate an IO you need to set up its register by invoking some functions and

macros. Here we used “readl” and “writel”. They can directly read and write corresponding

registers. Besides you need some other driver related functions too such as misc_register,

module_init, module_exit and filling the file_operations structure.

4.3 Compile Qtopia-2.2.0

To make it easy for users we compile all the steps into one build script. Executing this

script will compile thewhole qtopia platform and its utilities. You can start them by

commanding “run”. The compiling scripts for x86 and arm are a little bit different.

4.3.1 Uncompress and Install Source Code

Please refer to 3.3.1

4.3.2 Compile and Run Qtopia-2.2.0 for X86

All our programs have been verified on Fedora9. We didn’t try them on other platforms.

We strongly recommend our users to use Fedora9 and download it from

ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-9-i386

-DVD.iso.

Enter the working directory and run the following command

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/x86-qtopia

#./build-all (this process takes about 30 minutes)

Note: ./build-all will automatically compile the complete Qtopia and its embedded web

browser. You can execute “./build” first and then “./build-konq” to compile them separately.

To run your qtopia you can type the command below:

#./run

You will see the following screen

working directory and type the command below

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/arm-qtopia

#./build-all (this process takes about 30 minutes)

#./mktarget (this makes a file system image and will generate “target-qtopia-konq.tgz”)

Note: “./build-all” will automatically compile a complete Qtopia system and the web

browser and generate Jpeg, GIF, PNG image files. You can execute “./build” first and then

“./build-konq” to compile them separately.

To remove your old Qtopia system you just need to delete all the files under “/opt”. Then

you can uncompress your target-qtopia-konq.tgz to the board’s root directory via a flash

drive. In our example we had it under /home/plg. Please run the command below:

#tar xvzf /home/plg/target-qtopia-konq.tgz –C /

Afteryouare done, reboot your board and you will see that all your GUI components are in

English now and there is a browser under the “FriendlyARM” tag. This is your own Qtopia.

Note: your new system may load parameters from “/etc/pointercal”, you can delete that file

too and will be directed to the calibration screen after reboot.

The above procedure is a simplied one. We hide all technical details in the build-all script

4.4 Compile QtE-4.6.3

4.4.1 Uncompress and Install Source Code
Please refer to 3.3.1

4.4.2 Compile and Run QtE-4.6.3 for ARM

Note: please use our arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3 and Fedora9 to compile. We offered a build-all

script for users to easily compile QtE-4.6.3. Please enter the source code directory and type

the following command:

#cd /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/arm-qte-4.6.3

#./build-all

The build process takes a while. And after it is done, please run the mktarget script and a

target-qte-4.6.3.tgz will be generated. Please follow the command below:

#tar xvzf target-qte-4.6.3.tgz –C /

A Trolltech directory will be generated under “/usr/local/”, which includes all needed

libraries and executables. Since our shipped Linux already includes QtE-4.6.3, to test your

build you can delete the one on your board by “rm” the whole “/usr/local/Trolltech”

directory.

Before running QtE-4.6.3, please stop the current running Qtopia-2.2.0. Go to “Settings” ->

“Shutdown” and you will see the following screen. Click on “Terminate Server” to shut

down Qtopia-2.2.0.

Or you can shut it down: either by commenting out the qtopia option in the init

script ”/etc/init.d/rcS” and rebooting the system or commanding “kill all” to terminate related

process (there are many options: you can even delete the whole “/opt”, shut down

qtopia-2.2.0 and run “qt4”

5.1 Set up Windows CE6 Development Environment

C:\WINCE600\OSDesigns\Mini2440\Mini2440\RelDir\Mini2440_ARMV4I_Release

with ADS.

Origianlly the nboot was from Samsung and we made some improvements. Our version

has the following features:

Support boot logo

Support process bar for WinCE kernel loading

Rapid WinCE Booting

Nboot doesn’t support file buring and can only read files: BootLogo and the WinCE.

Nboot is easy to be customized. You can set its bootlogo’ position, background and process

bar’s color, length and width in “options.h”.

//define LCD type, the default is T35 3.5”LCD

#define LCD_N35

//#define LCD_T35

//#define LCD_L80

//#define LCD_X35

//#define LCD_A70

//#define LCD_VGA1024768

//define background color

#define BACKGROUND_R 0x00

#define BACKGROUND_B 0x7F

//define process bar’s color

#define PROGRESS_BAR_R 0xFF

#define PROGRESS_BAR_G 0xFF

#define PROGRESS_BAR_B 0x00

//define bootlogo’s position

#define LOGO_POS_TOP 0

#define LOGO_POS_LEFT 0

//define process bar’s position, length and width

#define PROGRESS_BAR_TOP 260

#define PROGRESS_BAR_LEFT 20

#define PROGRESS_BAR_WIDTH 200

#define PROGRESS_BAR_HEIGHT 12

Compiling Nboot

In your WindowsCE6.0 directory please remove the “read only” property and open it with

ADS1.2. Click on “File -> Open” to open “nboot.mcp”.

5.2.3 Configure LCD Type and Serial Port in BSP

Our BSP currently supports the following LCD models:

NEC 3.5”LCD with touch screen

TPO 3.5”LCD with touch screen

Inonux 7”LCD with touch screen

Sharp 8”LCD (or compatible models) with touch screen

LCD2VGA conversion module: 1024x768

You can define your LCD type by setting up the LCD_TYPE value in

“MINI2440\SRC\INC\options.h”:

//#define LCD_T35

//#define LCD_L80

//#define LCD_A70

//#define LCD_VGA1024768

Users can modify the serial port function in “options.h” too:

// --- by customer

#define KITL_NONE – default setting

//#define KITL_SERIAL_UART0

//#define KITL_SERIAL_UART1

The default setting here is to make it a common serial port (there are some issues now to

use COM1 as a common serial port). If you want to set it as an output for debugging

information you can follow the changes below:

//#define KITL_NONE

#define KITL_SERIAL_UART0

//#define KITL_SERIAL_UART1

5.2.4 Create SDK

After you installed VS2005 on your PC but didn’t install Windows CE 6.0 Platform

Builder you must have a SDK to develop Mini2440 applications with VS2005. It is very

similar to the SDK needed for Embedded Visual C++.

After you compile your kernel you can set up a SDK via VS2005. Note: this SDK is only

for VS2005 not for other utilities such as EVC and VS2008. Please follow the steps below to

do it:

Step1: start VS2005, open your project file mini2440, right click on “Mini2440-CE6-SDK”

and select “Build”

Step2: moments later the SDK will be built

to find a “Mini2440-CE6-SDK.msi” installation file

5.2.5 Install SDK

Note: our shipped CD already has an SDK under “WindowsCE6\Mini2440-CE6-SDK.msi”.

Now let’s install an SDK

Step1: double click on “Mini2440-CE6-SDK.msi” and click on “Next” to continue

Step4: click on “Complete” to continue

Step6: click on “Install” to continue

Step8: click on “Finish” to complete

5.3 Synchronize with PC (For Windows 7)

Note: in Windows 7, you don’t need ActiveSync! Please make sure your PC can connect to

the internet.

In Windows 7 the synchronization is implemented via “Windows Mobile Device”

(Synchronization Center) which is similar to ActiveSync. Below is its interface

The “Synchronization Center” doesn’t come with Windows 7 and needs to be installed.

Below are the steps to follow for Windows 7: (Note: if your board runs WinCE6 you still can
