Usage

Software settings

Touchscreen drivers are available with support for 10 touch points, and proper drivers are integrated in the latest Ubuntu and Android OS images. Screen resolution must be configured to WVGA (1024×768) and the DVI option should be enabled on the “vout” parameter by editing the boot.ini file, as shown in the below.

To use the VU8 on C1/+ Linux system, the Kernel version must be 3.10.80-128 or higher (sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get dist-upgrade).

1. Resolution configuration.

Edit boot.ini file.
Comment 1080p line out and uncomment the 1024×768 line enable “DVI” option.

.
.
# setenv m "1080p"  # 1080P@60Hz
.
.
setenv m "1024x768p60hz"
.
.

# HDMI DVI Mode Configuration

setenv vout "dvi" for C2
setenv vout_mode "dvi" for C1/C1+/C0

2. Backlight ON/OFF.

Add the following line in “/etc/rc.local”.
ODROID-C2

path="/sys/class/gpio"
echo 234 > $path/export
echo 214 > $path/export
echo out > $path/gpio234/direction
echo out > $path/gpio214/direction
echo 0 > $path/gpio234/value
echo 0 > $path/gpio214/value

ODROID-C1+/C1/C0

path="/sys/class/gpio"
echo 97 > $path/export
echo 108 > $path/export
echo out > $path/gpio97/direction
echo out > $path/gpio108/direction
echo 0 > $path/gpio97/value
echo 0 > $path/gpio108/value

3. Backlight control with PWM

GPIO configuration

ODROID-C2
cd /sys/class/gpio
echo 214 | sudo tee export
echo out | sudo tee gpio214/direction
echo 0 | sudo tee gpio214/value
echo 234 | sudo tee unexport
ODROID-C1+/C1/C0
cd /sys/class/gpio
echo 97 | sudo tee export
echo out | sudo tee gpio97/direction
echo 0 | sudo tee gpio97/value
echo 108 | sudo tee unexport

PWM configuration

Upload PWM modules.

sudo modprobe pwm-meson
sudo modprobe pwm-ctrl

Enable PWM with sysfs.

cd /sys/devices/platform/pwm-ctrl
echo 100000 | sudo tee freq0
echo 1 | sudo tee enable0

Set duty cycle

echo [0-1023] | sudo tee duty0
