¶ Install Image to SDcard
Windows PC
Balena Etcher is an opensource GUI flash tool by Balena, Flash OS images to SDcard or USB drive.
-
Click on "Flash from file" to select image.
-
Click on "Select target" to select USB device.
-
Click on "Flash!" Start burning.
Linux
-
bpi-copy
-
Install bpi-tools. If you can’t access this URL or any other problems, please go to bpi-tools repo and install this tools manually.
apt-get install pv curl -sL https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools/raw/master/bpi-tools | sudo -E bash -
After you download the image, insert your TF card into your Ubuntu.Execute
bpi-copy xxx.img /dev/sdxinstall image on your TF card
-
-
dd
Mount SDcard device /dev/sdX partition if mounted automatically. Actually bpi-copy is the same as this dd command.
$ sudo apt-get install pv unzip $ sudo unzip -p xxx-bpi-m5-xxx.img.zip | pv | dd of=/dev/sdX bs=10M status=noxfer
¶ Install Image to eMMC
Before burning image to eMMC, please prepare a SD card with flashed bootable image and a USB disk. Let’s take OpenWrt image (mtk-bpi-r64-preloader-emmc.bin,2020-04-09-OpenWRT-mtk-bpi-r64-EMMC.img) for example.
| Note: You can download the ".bin" file from github: https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-R64-openwrt/tree/master/staging_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/image |
-
Insert the flashed SD card and power on to start the board.(the image on the SD card can be OpenWrt or other linux OS like ubuntu…)
-
Copy eMMC bootable OpenWrt image(mtk-bpi-r64-preloader-emmc.bin,2020-04-09-OpenWRT-mtk-bpi-r64-EMMC.img) to USB disk, if the image is compressed please uncompress it before copying to USB disk.
-
Plug in USB disk to the board, and mount the USB to /mnt or other directory as follows: (you can skip mounting if it is mounted automatically)
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt cd /mnt -
Execute following command to enable and copy image to eMMC:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro dd if=2020-04-09-OpenWRT-mtk-bpi-r64-EMMC.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 dd if=mtk-bpi-r64-preloader-emmc.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0 -
Shutdown, remove SD card and USB disk, and restart the board from eMMC.

¶ GPIO Control
echo xxx > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in/out > /sys/class/gpio/gpioxxx/direction
echo 0/1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpioxxx/valueCheck the base gpio, you could see mine is 409
For example: if you want to change gpio 22 as out highlevel, you need input commands like this:
echo 431（22+409） > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio431/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio431/value¶ PWM Control

¶ Sata
-
If you want to use Sata interface on R64, you need to give GPIO90 low level
echo 499 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/direction echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/value -
Test a TOSHIBA HDD DISK, the Read/Write performance are below:
-
Read from disk: 50MB/s command:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 -
Write to disk: 38MB/s command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1024
-
-
Test a SAMSUNG SSD DISK, the Read/Write performance are below:
Read from disk: 360MB/s command:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024Write to disk: 200MB/s command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1024
¶ PCIe
-
If you want to use PCIe interface on R64, you need to give GPIO90 high level
echo 499 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/direction echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio499/value -
PCIe supports EC-25 4G module.
¶ GMAC
Use iperf3 to test gmac
-
On PC Terminal.Execute
iperf3 -s -
On R64 console:
TCP test:
iperf3 -c serverIPUDP test:
iperf3 -u -c serverIP
¶ BT & BLE on R64
R64 BT Architectural
-
BLE on R64
-
Input Command "btmw-test", you will enter to "btmw_test_cli" command line
-
Here are some example commands:
MW_GAP name 7622_BT /*rename bt device*/ MW_GAP info /*check local BT device info*/ MW_GATTC scan /* start ble scan*/ MW_GATTC stop_scan /* stop ble scan*/
¶ R64 LAN Function
-
LAN eth interface is eth2
ifconfig eth2 up-
Config the ip, "ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.1".
-
Config your dhcp server
vim /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.confadd these configurations.
-
Start dhcp server, "dhcpd eth2".
-
Then config iptables and set package forward.
-
Add "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" to "/etc/sysctl.conf"
-
"/sbin/sysctl -p" to make forward work
-
"iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1/24 -o eth3 -j MASQUERADE"
-
¶ Ap mode on R64
-
Find "mt_wifi.ko" and insmod it.
insmod ./lib/modules/4.4.92-BPI-R64-Kernel/extra/mt_wifi.ko -
Then you will see ra0 and rai0.
-
ra0 is MT7622 2.4G wifi
-
rai0 is MT7615 5G wifi
¶ 2.4G WiFi
-
Use "ifconfig ra0 up" to enable it.
-
Config the ip, "ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.1".
-
Config your dhcp server, "vim /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf", add these configurations.
-
Start dhcp server, "dhcpd ra0". Then config iptables and set package forward.
-
Add "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" to "/etc/sysctl.conf"
-
"/sbin/sysctl -p" to make forward work
-
"iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1/24 -o eth3 -j MASQUERADE"
-
¶ 5G WiFi
-
Use "ifconfig rai0 up" to enable it.
-
Config the ip, "ifconfig rai0 192.168.1.1".
-
Config your dhcp server, "vim /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf", add these configurations.
-
Start dhcp server, "dhcpd rai0".Then config iptables and set package forward.
-
Add "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" to "/etc/sysctl.conf"
-
"/sbin/sysctl -p" to make forward work
-
"iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1/24 -o eth3 -j MASQUERADE"
