How to write OS to a TF card

1. Unzip the firmware.

   A file archiver software, such as 7-Zip, is required to unzip the corresponding image file.

2. Format your TF card.

   Run the software SDFormatter.exe to format your TF.

   

3. Write the system firmware.

   Note: before the image written, please make sure the capacity of the TF card is bigger than the size of the firmware image!

   Run the software Win32DiskImager.exe, choose the unzipped .img file and storage device then click the button Write.

   

Boot up from the TF card system

Note: a 5V/2A adapter is used for power supply.

1. Insert the TF card into the TF card socket;
2. Set the boot up switch (hereafter BOOT) to “SD”;
3. Power up to start the system.

Program the eMMC system from the TF card

1. Insert the TF card, in which firmware should be eMMC , into the TF card socket;
2. Set the BOOT to “SD”;
3. Power up and then the LED1 and LED2 blink.
4. The eMMC programming isn’t completed until both the LED1 and LED2 are lighten steady or extinguished (The programming process lasts about 30 min);
5. Disconnect the power and remove the TF card.
6. Set the BOOT to “NAND”.
7. Power up to start the system.

LCD Connection

Note: There are two sockets for LCD connection(4.3inch LCD and 7inch LCD). If the board is connected to the LCD by a wrong interface, it may damage the LCD and the main board.

• When using 4.3inch LCD

  Disconnect the power then connect the board to a 4.3inch LCD via the LCD4.3 socket. Please first Make sure the image you programmed is for 4.3inch LCD and then plug a power adapter to the MarsBoard AM335X board.

• When using 7inch LCD

  Disconnect the power then connect the board to a 7inch LCD via the LCD7 socket. Please first Make sure the image you programmed is for 7inch LCD and then plug a power adapter to the MarsBoard AM335X board.

Touch Calibration

Since using a resistive touch LCD, you can execute the following commands for calibration:

Angstrom:

root@Angstrom:~# rm -rf /etc/pointercal*
root@Angstrom:~# ts_calibrate

After entering the calibration interface, there will be a prompt for five-point calibration shown in the screen. Click the points one by one and then execute:

root@Angstrom:~# sync

Restart your system to finish the touch calibration. Switch power supply or use

sudo reboot

to restart the system:

Note: if the calibration failed, reboot and retry again.

Debian:

root@debian:~# rm -rf /etc/pointercal*
root@debian:~# sync

Restart your system to enter touch calibration. Click the points one by one to finish the touch calibration.
