Introduction to the chapter This section helps you set up the OLinuXino development board for the first time. Please consider first the electrostatic warning to avoid damaging the board, then discover the hardware and software required to operate the board. The procedure to power up the board is given, and a description of the default board behavior is detailed. 2.1 Electrostatic warning OLinuXino is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board must not be exposed to high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element. 2.3 Requirements In order to set up the OLinuXino-MICRO optimally, the following items are required: - 5V source of power with 1A maximum amperage. - SJTAG interface programmer - USB hub (USB splitter) - USB keyboard - Monitor with composite interface or Personal Computer + USB-SERIAL-CABLE - SD card with Linux image Note that the board arrives without SD card or Linux image. You can purchase a card with Linux separately. It is recommended that the user has basic Linux experience. Some of the suggested items can be purchased by Olimex, for instance: iMX233-OLinuXino-SD - SD card with the Linux image USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F - USB serial console cable female (check “6.1.1 UART Debug” for info how to connect it to the board) SY0605E - power supply adapter 5V/1A for iMX233-OLinuXino-MICRO Page 8 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 2.4 Powering the board The board is powered either via the PWR jack or via a battery. It should be supplied by 5V source with maximum current of 1A from the power jack. All measures below are taken at 5V. If measuring the current consumption it should be around 0.06A before initializing all the peripherals. IMPORTANT! We discovered a situation which might leave some of the SD cards (iMX233- OLinuXino-SD) in unrecoverable state when powering OLinuXino-MICRO. The problem might occur if two specific conditions are met simultaneously: 1)Plugged iMX233-OLinuXino-SD micro SD card with holographic sticker on its back side (some of the cards we have distributed are from a brand that places holographic sticker on their backs, the other half lack such a sticker) 2)Plugged USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F at the moment when powering the board If you happen to have received SD card with holographic sticker on its back side and you use it with OLinuXino-MICRO and you plug USB-SERIAL-CABLE and then you power the board there is a chance of malfunction of the SD card. There are two possible workarounds to protect the SD card. The first one is simpler and the second one requires some soldering experience. Workaround 1: First insert the iMX233-OLinuXino-SD card and then power the board (and if powering the board from a battery also press the PWR button). Wait 4-5 seconds and then connect the USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F. After the initial power-up it is safe to use the reset button. Workaround 2: You will need a Shottky diode. The Shottky should be soldered on the USB- SERIAL-CABLE-F TX line/wire (RED cable) with anode towards the board. When you power the board by battery you have to press the PWR_BUT to start the board. If you start Linux and it is already running no matter which powering method you use (PWR_JACK or BAT) pressing the PWR_BUT will put the Linux in power-save mode. For the European customers we sell a power supply adapter 5V/1A – SY0605E. 2.5 Prebuilt software Note that the boards arrive without Linux or SD card. The Linux image can be purchased separately on a SD card or you can built and adjust it yourself. When we program the boards we change the default position of the following HW_OCOTP_ROM0 Page 9 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual fuses of the processor: SD_MBR_BOOT(3) - Blown SD_POWER_GATE_GPIO(21:20) – 10-PWM3 For burning the fuse position we use the BitBurner software. This operation is discussed in details before. Proceed with great caution when burning fuses since it is irreversible operation. The first batches of the board and the SD-card used the Debian Linux image. After that we switched over to ArchLinux for the ease of the package manager. Instructions how to build the ArchLinux can be found at the gitHub address of OLinuXino. 2.6 Using BitBurner IMPORTANT! MODIFYING THE FUSES IS IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS! BURNING THE WRONG FUSES MIGHT DAMAGE OLINUXINO IRREVERSIBLY! BURNING WRONG FUSES MIGHT CAUSE BOOT PROBLEMS! BURN FUSES AT OWN RISK! The bit burning is done via the USB of the computer connected to the OLINUXINO board and the BitBurner software. To be able to burn the fuses you will need to connect a USB-A to USB-A cable between a computer and the board's USB-HOST connector. Download BitBurner from https://www.olimex.com/dev/OLINUXINO/iMX233- OLINUXINO/BitBurner.v1.0.4.6.zip. Extract it and start the .exe. If you connect everything you should see and choose HID-compilant device from the “Select device” drop-down menu. Page 10 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 2.7 Building the Debian Linux image Note that building the Linux image from scratch is a time-consuming task. Even with powerful machine and fast internet connection it might take few hours compiling. Some Linux distributions might lack the tools required to compile/build/execute scripts/download from repository – how to get those is not discussed below. The Linux image is created and downloaded from https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp- platform. For the test here we used Debian 6.0 with GNOME visual libraries. The steps we did: 1) From the terminal created folder “bin” in home folder: user@dist$: mkdir bin user@dist$: cd bin Add bin directory to PATH in order to do the next steps easier. Else navigate to the right folders. 2) Installed `repo` utility needed for the bitbake file fetching from the repository: user@dist$: curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo user@dist$: chmod a+x ~/bin/repo 3) Created directory for the project and download the BSP source from the git repository: Page 11 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual user@dist$: mkdir fsl-community-bsp user@dist$: cd fsl-community-bsp ~/fsl-community-bsp$: repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b denzil ~/fsl-community-bsp$: repo sync 4) You can change the settings for the build if you want at fsl-community-bsp/build/conf/local.conf. I changed the “machine” name to “imx233-olinuxino-maxi”. For Linux kernel configurations and settings you can do (of course you can use also the default settings): ~/fsl-community-bsp$:. ./setup-environment build ~/fsl-community-bsp/build$:bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig Check the image below: 5) Now to start building the image: ~fsl-community-bsp$:. ./setup-environment build ~fsl-community-bsp/build $: bitbake core-image-minimal Note: on different Linux distributions you might have different tools installed and you will probably need to install dependencies needed for the compile/build scripts. Here are some (but not all) of the mandatory ones: G++; diffstat; texi2html; chrpath; gawk; texinfo; some git client. To ensure you have the latest version supported with all the updates visit https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO and https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp- platform. Page 12 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 2.8 How to blink the LED In this sub-chapter you will find a way to achieve the most basic task in electronics – the “Hello World” of electronics - blinking the LED. First we set the pin responsible for the LED as an output and we can set its value manually to high or low position – make it blink manually. The LED mounted on the board uses GPIO65. You can use external diode instead of the one mounted - you have to look at the table “The Linux implementation of pins” in the hardware section to get the correct linux name for the GPIO pin. echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/direction echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value If you want to set the blink off you should change the value on the second line to: echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value To show the info for all GPIOs: ls /sys/class/gpio To make it turn on – turn off automatically (e.g. blink) we use the text redactor VI to write the Linux script: echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/direction while true do echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value sleep 1 echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio65/value sleep 1 done We save it as as “gpio” and we make it executable with chmod +x gpio then we execut the script with: ./gpio The LED should start blinking with 0.5Hz. 2.9 How to setup Arch Linux distribution You can refer to the manual of OLinuXino-MAXI for general build instructions but mind we haven't tested the algorithm listed there on the MICRO. There shouldn't be significant differences. If you meet such head over to the OLIMEX forums. Page 13 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 2.10 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 Page 14 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual CHAPTER 3: OLINUXINO BOARD DESCRIPTION 3.

At the moment of writing the microcontroller datasheet can be found at the following link: http://www.freescale.com/files/dsp/doc/ref_manual/IMX23RM.pdf Page 20 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual CHAPTER 5: CONTROL CIRCUITY 5. Introduction to the chapter Here you can find information about reset circuit and quartz crystals locations, the power supply circuit is discussed. 5.1 Reset OLinuXino's reset circuit includes R9 (47KΩ), R10 (47 Ω), T1, T2, Q1 and a RESET button. The RESET is specific for the fact that it is accomplished when the quartz is disconnected using 3.3V and the transistors T1 and T2. 5.2 Clock 24 MHz quartz crystal Q1 is connected to pins 121 and 122 of the iMX233 processor. 5.3 Power supply circuit The board is powered by 5V supply and all measures listed below are taken at 5V external supply. If measuring the current consumption it should be around 0.06A before initializing all the peripherals. If you have successfully booted and powered the board the green LED1 will start blinking (you have to put a SD card with Linux image in the SD card holder). Page 21 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual Page 22 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual CHAPTER 6: CONNECTORS AND PINOUT 6. Introduction to the chapter In this chapter are presented the connectors that can be found on the board all together with their pinout and notes about them. Jumpers functions are described. Notes and info on specific peripherals are presented. Notes regarding the interfaces are given. 6.1 Debugging interfaces If you don't have a separate monitor or display around, and you don't wish to swap cables constantly with your personal computer using the debug interfaces provide better option for you OLinuXino experience. There are three debugging options available on the OLinuXino. It is preferable to use one of the first two - UART or SJTAG but in case you want to use the classic 6-wire parallel JTAG there is an option explained below. Page 23 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 6.1.1 UART debug The first one is a debug UART interface – U_DEBUG. You can use our USB-SERIAL-CABLE for debugging via the UART. In order to avoid SD card malfunction, when using the USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F with OLinuXino-MICROit is advisable to first insert the iMX233-OLinuXino-SD card and then power the board (if using battery also press the PWR button). Wait 4-5 seconds and then connect the USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F. Please also check “2.4 Powering the board” for detailed info. Note on how to use the U_DEBUG with USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F which has RED GREEN BLUE wires GND=BLUE, RX(INPUT)=GREEN, TX(OUTPUT)=RED. You have to connect to OLinuXino-MICROU_DEBUG connector in this sequence: BLUE wire to pin.3 (GND) GREEN wire to pin.2 (TX) RED wire to pin.1 (RX) U_DEBUG Pin # Signal Name Processor Pin # 1 PWM0/DUART_RXD 125 2 PWM1/DUART_TXD 126 3 GND 30, 35, 98, 105, 112, 118 4 DEBUG 84 You can also check the pin names at the bottom of the board under the U_DEBUG header. 6.1.2 SJTAG debug The second interface is the Serial JTAG (SJTAG) one-wire interface. It works with various external JTAG debugger dongles through a Freescale-defined FPGA/CPLD. SJTAG supports the Green Hills Slingshot and ETM probe debugger dongles, as well as those made by ARM, Abatron, and Lauterbach. Note that the SJTAG interface comes without plastic header mounted. The HW_DIGCTL_CTRL_USE_SERIAL_JTAG bit in the digital control block selects whether the one-wire serial JTAG interface or the alternative six-wire parallel JTAG interface is used. There are other options in the digital control block which might interest you and our advice is to check the Page 24 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual iMX233's datasheet released by Freescale. SJTAG Pin # Signal Name Processor Pin # 1 3.3VREG - 2 GND 30, 35, 98, 105, 112, 118 3 SJTAG_PSW 119 4 DEBUG 84 The pin names are also written at the bottom of the board for your convenience. 6.1.3 Classic JTAG debug The third option is to use the classic 6-pin parallel JTAG (not including GND and VCC). There are pads left for this option at the bottom of the board under the SD card holder. They are named individually and framed near a “JTAG” name. The important thing is that these pins are multiplexed with the SD card signals. In order to use the 6-pin JTAG you will have to stop using the SD card. Note also that the classic JTAG interface comes without plastic header mounted so in order to use it you will need to use wires for connection. Consider the the software settings required to switch from SJTAG to 6-pin JTAG and vice verse referring to the iMX233 manual. For instance: The HW_DIGCTL_CTRL_USE_SERIAL_JTAG bit in the digital control block selects whether the serial JTAG interface or the alternative six-wire parallel JTAG interface is used. HW_DIGCTL_CTRL_USE_SERIAL_JTAG - 0x0 - Selects whether the one-wire serial JTAG interface or the alternative six-wire parallel JTAG interface is used. 0 = Parallel six-wire JTAG is enabled and is mapped to a collection of module pins that must be enabled by programming their MUXSEL bits in the pin control block. 1 = Serial JTAG is enabled and uses the dedicated DEBUG pin. The ROM bootcode writes this field prior to enabling JTAG, selecting which type of JTAG pin signaling to use. OLD_JTAG = 0x0 Use six-wire parallel JTAG mode. SERIAL_JTAG = 0x1 Use one-wire serial JTAG mode. It is good idea to check the datasheet of the iMX233 processor for all the options in the digital control block. The processor's datasheet should be always the first piece of paper you consult when dealing with electronics.

Please check the manual part for microSD card for a schematic of the pins. Page 26 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 6.2 SD/MMC slot The microSD card slot is a standard 8pin connector. We have tested a number of microSD cards on the OLinuXino boards and all of them worked fine regardless manufacturer or capacity. However, keep in mind that some of the lower quality microSD cards might draw too much current from the slot which might cause power-state problems. If you suspect the microSD card is causing problems please try using another one of better quality for better results. microSD card connector Pin # Signal Name Processor Pin # 1 SSP1_DATA2 86 2 SSP1_DATA3 87 3 SSP1_CMD 83 4 SD_VCC - 5 SSP1_SCK 90 6 GND 30, 35, 98, 105, 112, 118 7 SSP1_DATA0 84 8 SSP1_DATA1 85 Notice that the pad numeration is written at the bottom of OlinuXino-MICRO under the microSD card connector. When removing the card, please make sure that you release it from the connector by pushing and NOT by pulling the card directly (this can damage both the connector and the microSD card). Page 27 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 6.3 UEXT connector OLIMEX offers board extensions which can be connected via UEXT interface. OLinuXino-MICRO board lacks UEXT connector but it can be formed using the signals on the CON2 pad line. You can check which signals you need in the CON1 and CON2 chapter. For more information on UEXT please visit: http://www.olimex.com/dev/OTHER/UEXT.pdf *Note the two jumpers PIN29/SOFT_CL – PIN22/LCD_EN/I2C_SCL, and PIN28/SOFT_SDA3 – PIN21/LCD_HSYNC/I2C_SDA which by default are set to a software I2C. They can be used to set the whole UEXT to a hardware I2C. Note that the correct way of connecting modules to the UEXT is: 1. Plug module to host board via UEXT 2. Power host board If you first power the board and then establish the UEXT it is possible host-board restarting to occur due to the fact that some modules have large capacitors on the power line.

They allow the user to attach additional hardware, check readings or perform hardware debug. The “Pin#” column shows connector number and does NOT represent the naming on the bottom of the board. The table is divided into two big columns and explains the pin of both the connectors CON1 and CON2. There are three color sections in the table below. Each color represents signals needed to establish a specific connection and functionality like in the MAXI and the MINI versions of the board. The GREEN section (CON2 – Pin#3 to Pin#11) marks the signals needed to make UEXT (check the schematics of OLinuXino-MAXI or OLinuXino-MINI or the UEXT section above for further help). The YELLOW section (CON2 - Pin#12 to Pin#15) marks the signals needed to build SJTAG. The BLUE section (CON2- Pin#16 to Pin#21) shows the signals needed for audio in and audio out.

You can check the connection between Linux naming of the pin, Olimex naming of the pin and the consecutive connector pin number in the table below. The ones filled with “Not implemented” doesn't have Linux support by the time of writing and will be updated overtime. “Linux GPIO” is the one you should use in Linux (the one in the datasheet); “OLinuXino name” is the pin as written on the bottom of the board. ”OLinuXino GPIO Connector #” is the consecutive number of pins with BAT being Pin#1 and GND#40. Note that if “OLinuXino Name” starts with P and then is followed by a number X, the PX is the name written on the bottom of the board (under the connector) with white ink. If “OLinuXino Name” is other text it is a signal used for the hardware of the board but still can be controller by the Linux (it can't be found at the GPIO connector though).

Thanks to David Whittaker some of the above information can be found in compact variant at, a table he compiled: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc? key=0AspkrcYcY5bWdFB6WC1xRlp5bFRjc1hwVnlQZDVmeUE Page 32 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 6.5 USB HOST The USB hosts and the Ethernet are controller by the iMX233 controller. Important! The USB of OLinuXino-Micro can communicate directly only with High-speed or Full- speed USB devices. The majority of keyboards and mice are low-speed devices. A good solution for plugging a keyboard or a mouste to the Micro is to use a USB hub between your device and OLinuXino-Micro - using such a hub has the additional benefit of providing additional USB slot (which can be used for example to mount flash memories etc.). The signals follow the familiar and standard USB host pattern: USB 2-level host PIN# SIGNAL NAME 1 +5V_HOST_PWR 2 USB_DM 3 USB_DP 4 GND 6.6 PWR Jack The power jack used is the typical 2.5mm one used by Olimex in most of our products. You should provide 5 volts at 1A maximum to the board. Pin # Signal Name 1 Power Input 2 GND More info about the power supply can be found in chapter 5 of this manual Page 33 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 6.7 Headphones and line-in connector The audio connectors are not mounted on OLinuXino-MICRO, but the signals needed can be found on CON2 connector. Check the CON1 and CON2 section for further info. 6.8 Composite video connector The composite video is the connector you should use if you wish OLinuXino- MICRO video output on a monitor. The signal is controlled by pin #104 from the i.MX233 processor. The + signal is lead to the middle of the connector. The outside part is the GND. 6.9 Boot mode positions The iMX233 can boot the operating system from different locations. The default location for the Linux files we used is the microSD card. There are 4(four) jumpers responsible for the boot location: D03, D02, D01 and D00. They are located on the top of the board between the processor and 40pin GPIO connector. Note that the jumpers are SMD type and opening a jumper would require cutting, closing a jumper would require soldering. To be able to do the quoted operations you will need basic engineering skills and experience. You can check below the table or the schematic for the correct positions. Value of “1” means the jumper is closed.

If you feel insecure of your soldering/cutting technique it is better not to try to adjust the jumpers. 6.10.1 SCL_SW/SCL_HW and SDA_SW/SDA_HW Those two jumpers must be moved together – there are two available options – configuring software I2C interface (both SCL_SW, SDA_SW closed) or hardware I2C interface (both SCL_HW, SDA_HW closed). The default position is SCL_HW/SDA_HW closed (soldered). 6.10.2 5V_E The 5V_E jumper allows control over the powering line. If you want to disable the 5V powering line open 5V_E jumper. The default position is closed. 6.10.3 3.3V_E jumper 3.3V_E jumper is open by default. If closed (soldered) provides 3.3V at the pin 30 of CON1. The default position is open. 6.10.4 Boot mode selecting jumpers The boot mode is discussed in chapter 6.11 of this manual. 6.11 Additional hardware components The components below are mounted on OLinuXino but are not discussed above. They are listed here for completeness: Reset button – used for hardware reset of the board Page 35 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual Power button – when Linux is running pressing PWR_BUT will put the board in low power mode; when powered by battery PWR_BUT is used to initially power up the board – and pressing the board again after it is powered will put it low power mode Recovery button (REC) – when the board is put to sleep REC can be used to “wake-up” the board 512 (32M x 16) MBit DDR SDRAM - the exact memory used at the moment of writing is Xylinx HY5DUxxxyyy LED1 6.12 Accessories Here you will find additional information for Olimex products you can use with OlinuXino-MICRO 6.12.1 USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F The cable for the U_DEBUG interface that can be purchased for additional cost has three cables. It is important to specify in your purchase order whether you want the USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F variant with male of female connectors. The wires follow the following color pattern GND=BLUE, RX(INPUT)=GREEN, TX(OUTPUT)=RED. You will need a drivers that can be downloaded from the page of USB-SERIAL-CABLE: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Components/Cables/USB-Serial-Cable/USB-Serial-Cable-F/.

Changed pull-up resistor of the RX line to 4.7k and BAT54C is added on the same line. C 2. SW_SCL/HW_SCL i SW_SDA/HW_SDA jumpers got changed to default hardware. 3. SD card is changed from TFR-MEM-COM to TFC-WXCII00-08-LF and the connector is moved towards the middle of the board Important note about owners of revision B of the board: if you are one of the first owners of iMX233-OLinuXino-Micro and you experience random hang-ups (Kernel oops, Kernel panic) it is recommended to unsolder/remove R17 (check the schematic or the board file to locate it easier). Removing R17 fixes the random lock-up. This problem has been fixed in revision B1 of the board.

Page 46 of 47 OLIMEX© 2012 OLinuXino-MICRO user's manual 9.3 Product support For product support, hardware information and error reports mail to: support@olimex.com. Note that we are primarily a hardware company and our software support is limited. Please consider reading the paragraph below about the warranty of Olimex products. Warranty and returns: Our boards have lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and components. During development work it is not unlikely that you can burn your programmer or development board. This is normal, we also do development work and we have damaged A LOT of programmers and boards during our daily job so we know how it works. If our board/programmer has worked fine then stopped, please check if you didn't apply over voltage by mistake, or shorted something in your target board where the programmer was connected etc. Sometimes boards might get damaged by ESD shock voltage or if you spill coffee on them during your work when they are powered. Please note that warrany do not cover problems caused by unproper use, shorts, over-voltages, ESD shock etc. If the board has warranty label it should be not broken. Broken labels void the warranty, same applies for boards modified by the customer, for instance soldering additional components or removing components - such boards will be not be a subject of our warranty. If you are positive that the problem is due to manufacturing defect or component you can return the board back to us for inspection. When we receive the board we will check and if the problem is caused due to our fault and we will repair/replace the faulty hardware free of charge, otherwise we can quote price of the repair. Note that all shippings back and forth have to be covered by the customer. Before you ship anything back you need to ask for RMA. When you ship back please attach to it your shipping address, phone, e-mail, RMA# and brief description of the problem. All boards should be sent back in antistatic package and well packed to prevent damages during the transport. Page 47 of 47

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
