OLinuXino-MAXI user's manual
chmod +x gpio
then we execut the script with:
./gpio
The LED should start blinking with 0.5Hz.
2.9 How setup the I2C, SPI, UART
There are number of examples with our extension module board to achieve those connections on the
UEXT. The examples might be used as an example for I2C, SPI or UART communication. You can
find them at our GitHub page:
https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/tree/master/SOFTWARE/iMX233
NOTE that to use software I2C you have to set the SMD jumpers to the proper side. By default the
board uses hardware I2C.
2.10 How to setup Arch-Linux distribution
This is a step-by-step guide for building the Archlinux image for Olimex OLinuXino-MAXI. The
second and the third part of the document explain how to setup the internet connection on the board
and how to use the GCC compiler to compile „HelloWorld“ example on the OLinuXino.
Two important preparations:
1)You have to download the latest software package from the GitHub of iMX233-OLinuXino,
down in the code you will meet “
xxxxxxx”
which you will have to replace with the correct
locations in the package.
2)When trying I2C examples I2C jumpers has to be configured for hardware I2C mode.
I. How to create SD-card with Archlinux image
1. Download the image files from:
xxxxxxx
. Put the files in desired folder, for example
/home/User/Archlinux
.
2.
Insert the card-reader into the Linux host machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE
- this example is given with "sdb1 and sdb2" devices but it could enumerate
differently on your host, so confirm what it enumerates as before running fdisk!
3. Unmount the card-reader:
& sudo umounth /dev/sdb1
4. Format the SD-card using fdisk:
