1.4 OS introduction
Linux is a Unix-like and mostly POSIX-compliant computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on 5 October 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The Free Software
Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to describe the operating system, which has led to some controversy.
Typically, Linux is packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution, for both desktop and server use. Some popular mainstream Linux distributions include Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch Linux, and the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Linux distributions include the Linux kernel, supporting utilities and libraries and usually a large amount of application software to fulfill the distribution's intended use.
1.4.1 Bananian
Bananian Linux is a pre-installed Debian 7 image optimized for Banana Pi/Pro. It uses
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 7 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
the official Debian wheezy armhf repositories with a kernel and bootmanager (u-boot), customized for Banana Pi/Pro.
The main focus is to provide a lightweight headless platform for home servers, small webservers, ownCloud hosting, Linux based wifi access points, router, NAS systems, monitoring devices, etc.
For more information please refer to https://www.bananian.org/
1.4.2 Raspbian
A Raspbian image is a file that you can download onto an SD card which in turn can be used to boot your single-board computer. Using a Raspbian image is the easiest way for a new user to get started with Raspbian.
For more information please refer to http://www.raspbian.org/
1.4.3 Lubuntu
Lubuntu is a fast and lightweight operating system. The core of the system is based on
Linux and Ubuntu. Lubuntu uses the minimal desktop LXDE, and a selection of light applications. It focus on speed and energy-efficiency. Because of this, Lubuntu has very low hardware requirements.
For more information please refer to

importantly short circuits and static.
Please be aware that ALL of the the Raspberry Pi cases are NOT compatible (the board dimensions and also the layout of the B-Pi's inputs/outputs are different).
2.2 Prepare your MicriSD or SD card for the Banana
Pro/Pi
In order to enjoy your Banana Pro/Pi, you will need to install an Operating System
(OS) onto an MicroSD/SD card. You need to pay attention to that the Android image
cannot use the dd command in linux or the Win32Diskimage in Windows ,so you need to use the PhoenixCard tool to burn the image to the MicroSD/SD card (you
can refer to the 2.2.2 section). The instructions below will teach you how to write an
OS image to your MicroSD/SD card either in Windows or Linux.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 11 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
2.2.1
Installing the general Linux OS image
1. Insert your MicroSD/SD card into your computer or card reader. The size of the MicroSD/SD should be larger than the OS image size, generally
4GB or greater.
2. Format the MicroSD/SD card.
In Windows: i. Download an MicroSD/SD card format tool such as SD Formatter from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/ ii. Unzip the download file and run the setup.exe (Run as Administrator) to install the tool on your machine. iii. After installation, start the tool (again, Run as Administrator). In the
"Options" menu, set "FORMAT TYPE" option to QUICK, "FORMAT
SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON". iv. Check that the drive letter of the MicroSD/SD card you inserted matches the one selected by the software. Otherwise it will format and delete all data on another drive or card. To be safe, only have your main hard drive

Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
connected and only the MicroSD/SD card that you want to use in your
B-Pi. LeMaker is not responsible for any loss of data. v. Click the “Format” button.
In Linux:
i.In a terminal, run the sudo fdisk -l command to check the MicroSD/SD card node. ii.Run the umount /dev/sdxx to unmount all the partitions of the MicroSD/SD card. iii.Run the sudo fdisk /dev/sdx command. Use the o command to delete all partition of MicroSD/SD card and use the n command to add one new partition. Use the w command to save change. iv.Run the sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1 command to format the new created partition of MicroSD/SD card as
FAT32.
(x should be replaced according to your MicroSD/SD card node as discovered in point vi above)
You can also jump this step under Linux, because write image command dd under Linux will format the MicroSD/SD card automatically.
3. Download the OS image from the Downloads webpage.
4. Unzip the download file to get the OS image (should have the extension .img). To do this -
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 13 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
In Windows: Right click on the file and choose “Extract all”.
In Linux: Run the unzip [path]/[downloaded filename] command. If the filename extension is .tgz, run the tar zvxf [path]/[downloaded filename] command.
Ensure that neither the file name of the image you're using or the path contain any spaces (or other odd characters, for that matter).
5. Write the image file to the MicroSD/SD card.
In Windows: i. Download a tool that can write images to MicroSD/SD card, such as
Win32 Diskimager from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/Archive/ ii. Open the unzipped image file. iii. Click the Write button. Wait patiently to successfully complete the writing. Do not disturb or disconnect/remove the card or shut down the computer during this process. When it has finished, soft-eject the card using the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the System Tray/Notification area (bottom right of your screen), then physically remove the card from the card reader.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 14 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
In Linux: i. Run the sudo fdisk -l command to check the MicroSD/SD card node. ii. Verify if the hash key of the zip file is the same as shown on the downloads page (optional). shalsum [path]/[imagename]
This will print out a long hex number which should match the "SHA-1" line for the MicroSD/SD image you have downloaded. iii. Run the sync && sudo umount /dev/sd xx to unmount all the partitions of the MicroSD/SD card. iv. Run the sudo dd bs=4M if=[path]/[imagename] of=/dev/sd x command to write image file to MicroSD/SD card. Wait patiently to successfully complete writing, it’s a very long time.
Please note that block size set to 4M will work most of the time, if not, please try 1M, although
1M will take considerably longer. You can use the sudo pkill –USR1 –n –x dd command to check progress.
2.2.2 Installing the Android OS image
The Android images (4.2 v2.0 & 4.4 beta 1) cannot unfortunately use the dd command in Linux or the Win32Diskimager in Windows, so you need to use the PhoenixCard tool to write the image the MicroSD/SD card.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 15 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
(Note : If your laptop's card slot cannot burn the MicroSD/SD card, you should use an external USB MicroSD/SD card reader instead. )
Download the Android image and PhoenixCard.
The Android 4.2 image (a LeMaker product) from our Downloads page: http://www.lemaker.org/resources/9-38/image_files.html
The Android 4.4 image (not a LeMaker product) from the external website.
PhoenixCard:
International download address: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_VynIqhAcB7NTg2UkRDdHRWX2s/edit?usp=sharing
China domestic download address: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qW9dFLq?qq-pf-to=pcqq.c2c
Install the Phoenixcard software (Run as Administrator), then start the program from its icon (also using Run as Administrator).
First, check the disk letter is EXACTLY the same as your MicroSD/SD card with the button 'Disk Check'. (Better safe than sorry – disconnect all other USB devices and secondary hard drives before continuing. See this forum link for help if you do this.)
Then load the disk file by clicking on the button 'Img File'. Next step – click the radio button 'Startup' in the Write Mode box, then press the 'Format to Normal' button.
Please note: although the text in the window of the above screenshot says "Device OK, the size of the device is XXXXX M", depending on your system and if it is an internal/external or single/multi-card reader, you may instead get only a message such as "Find 4 device, Please select correct the one"

Burn the Android image to the MicroSD/SD card (by pressing 'Burn' of course).
This can take quite a while so be patient. As mentioned previously, do not disturb the
MicroSD/SD card or remove it or turn off the computer during this process. Serious damage to the card and/or computer hardware can occur.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 17 -

When the final 'Success' message appears, soft-eject the card using the 'Safely
Remove Hardware' function in the Notification Area/System Tray (bottom right hand corner of the Windows screen). Now you can physically remove it and then insert it into the Banana Pro/Pi, plug in the mouse (a physical keyboard is optional as you can use Android's in-built on-screen version instead), the display and finally the power supply to experience the Android system on your Banana Pro/Pi.
The Android system start-up GUI.

1. Insert the newly written MicroSD/SD card into the MicroSD/SD card socket on the left side edge of the underside of the board.
2. On the bottom edge in the middle of the board is the HDMI Type A (full sized
– 13.9mm wide) port, just to the right of the SATA port. Just connect any
HDMI Type A cable from the B-Pi or B-Pro to your TV or HDMI Monitor.
If you don't have a TV/Monitor with a HDMI or DVI-D port:
On the B-Pi you can use the yellow AV jack located in the middle of the top edge and the 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack to the right of it.
On the B-Pro you can use the AV jack located in the top edge.
3. Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located on the right hand edge.
4. Just under the USB ports on the right hand edge is the Ethernet connector if you want to plug the Banana Pro/Pi into a wired network.
5. Finally, at the very left of the bottom edge is the micro-USB power connector.
Plug in a regulated power supply that is rated at 5V ±5% and at least 2A.
Any value bigger than 2A (like 2.5A) will also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for small GSM phones, as these are often unregulated - even if they claim "5V 2A", they may do "5V" and may do "2A", but not at the simultaneously!
Make sure you have the correct USB plug. In the photo below, the mini-USB
(on the left) is the wrong one. It’s thicker and looks like a trapezoid with its sides pinched in. The micro-USB (on the right) is the correct one. It is thinner and also looks like a trapezoid except its sides are rounded outward.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 21 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
6. (This step is optional) )If you have a free SATA 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch hard drive
(SSD or HDD), you can use it on the Banana Pro/Pi. Connect the SATA cable to the SATA port just between the micro-USB and HDMI ports. Remember to put the power cable with the 2 male 2.54mm headers into the SATA power.
Then you can plug your hard drive into the other side of the SATA cable. Be careful with the connection of the different color cables.
If all goes well, the Banana Pro/Pi will boot in a few minutes. The screen will display the OS's GUI (Graphical User Interface). The first boot of a new OS can sometimes take a long time. Be patient! Subsequent boots are usually much quicker.
2.4 Shut down your Banana Pro/Pi
You can use the GUI to shut down the Banana Pro/Pi safely.
Also you can run the command in the terminal: sudo halt or sudo shutdown –h now
This will shut down the Pro/Pi safely, (just use the power key to turn off might damage the MicroSD/SD-cards file system).

3 Basic Usages
3.1 Log in to Banana Pro/Pi
There are five methods for you to log in to Banana Pro or Banana Pi OS.
3.1.1 Using the HDMI
(1). First, get the basic things you need: a Banana Pro/Pi with a prepared MicroSD/SD card containing an OS, an HDMI cable with Type A plug (13.9mm wide) for the B-Pi or B-Pro end, an HD-ready monitor, a micro USB power adapter, a keyboard and a mouse.
We'll be using the HDMI to VGA lead in the photo below.
(2). Connect the Banana Pro/Pi as shown here:
.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 23 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
(3) Power on the Banana Pro/Pi by plugging in the mains adapter. You will then see the boot screen and eventually get to the desktop of the Banana Pro/Pi. (Remember, the first boot with a new OS on a card takes longer than usual - subsequent boots are quicker.) The photos below show first the Linux code scrolling up as it boots, and then the next screenshot shows the final main screen of the Raspbian OS (a variant of
Debian 7 'Wheezy') for the Raspberry Pi which has been adapted for the Banana
Pro/Pi.
3.1.2 Using the RCA interface
The AV cable is usually yellow and of the RCA connector/phono type – it normally comes bundled with similar red and white versions. Plug the yellow* one into the AV port (also yellow) of the Banana Pi, and the other end into the corresponding socket on your TV. But Pro via 3.5 mm TRRS jack shared with composite video out so it need a Composite AV cable to connect device.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 24 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
Power on the Banana Pro/Pi. If there is no display in the monitor, you may need check the script.bin file. script.bin is a binary configuration file used by Allwinner SOC core driver or LiveSuit.
And it contains the information that how to set the peripherals, port, and I/O pins of
A10/A20 target board.
Because we can’t compile the script.bin file directly, we have to modify the corresponding text file whose format is FEX, so we must change script.bin file into script.fex file. We can use the sunxi-tools to change binary file into text file or change it back. Please refer to the steps in the 5.1 section.
AV driver has been included in the kernel, just Configure the script.fex directly:
[disp_init] disp_init_enable = 1 disp_mode = 0 screen0_output_type = 2 screen0_output_mode = 11 screen1_output_type = 0 screen1_output_mode = 4 fb0_width = 1024 fb0_height = 768 fb0_framebuffer_num = 2 fb0_format = 10 fb0_pixel_sequence = 0 fb0_scaler_mode_enable = 0 fb1_width = 1024 fb1_height = 768 fb1_framebuffer_num = 2 fb1_format = 10 fb1_pixel_sequence = 0
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 25 -

fb1_scaler_mode_enable = 0 lcd0_backlight = 197 lcd1_backlight = 197 lcd0_bright = 50 lcd0_contrast = 50 lcd0_saturation = 57 lcd0_hue = 50 lcd1_bright = 50 lcd1_contrast = 50 lcd1_saturation = 57 lcd1_hue = 50
[tvout_para] tvout_used=1 tvout_channel_num=1
Then convert it into script.bin format by using fex2bin, and replace the earlier script.bin on the board.
Reboot the system, now the AV port can be used for displaying.
[* For pi only use the cable with the yellow plugs as it has a 75 ohm resistor built in – the white and red ones don't. Please, someone correct or update this if it is inaccurate.]
3.1.3 Using SSH
Using SSH to log in to the Banana Pro/Pi for remote operation is very convenient, safe and highly efficient. In addition, it is not necessary to even use a monitor linked to the Banana Pro/Pi via HDMI cable in some situations, for example, if the Banana
Pro/Pi is acting as a home server. The SSH server is installed by default and starts during boot up on the 'Raspbian for Banana Pro/Pi' and 'Lubuntu for Banana Pro/Pi' operating systems. So in general, you don't need to install SSH on your Banana
Pro/Pi.
(1). If the SSH is not installed, you can install it using this command sudo apt-get install openssh-server
(2). Check whether the SSH has started.

ps -e | grep ssh
If sshd is in the output, the SSH sever has started. If not, you should start it with your own command: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
To stop the SSH server: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
Restart the SSH server: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
(3). Configure the rc.local file so that you can set the SSH server to start during boot: sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Add
/etc/init.d ssh start before exit 0.
Now you need to make sure your Banana Pro/Pi and your computer are connected to the same local internet.
(4) Log in to your Banana Pro/Pi.
In Windows, download a free SSH client such as PuTTY for remote login to the
Banana Pro/Pi. Start PuTTY on your computer and then enter the IP address of your
Banana Pro/Pi. Then click Open to connect to your Banana Pro/Pi. Finally, enter the user name and password to complete verification.

In Ubuntu, it is easier to log in to your Banana Pro/Pi using the ssh command only：
ssh remote_username@remote_host
The remote username is the same user name that you use to log in to the Banana
Pro/Pi such as pi. The remote_host is the Banana Pro/Pi's IP address.
3.1.4 Using VNC
In the previous section, we saw how SSH can be used to control remotely your
Banana Pro/Pi without an HDMI display, as well as being safe, convenient and efficient. Another way you can try this is by using VNC to display the Banana Pro/Pi's desktop on your PC through its IP address.
When the VNC service is on, a .vnc file will be generated. This file contains the information about the VNC service. The location and path of .vnc is generally to be found at either [/home/username] or [/root] according to the user's permissions. The following steps will guide you in configuring VNC if you are the root user.
(1). Install the VNC Server sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
(2). Start the VNC Server and set the password vncserver
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 28 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
This will require you to enter a VNC password (at least 6 characters) for the first time, and then it asks you if you would like to enter a view-only password (y/n), enter n to skip this step. You can check whether the VNC service is set up successfully.
The default port is 5901.
(3). Configure the .vnc/xstartup script
You should configure the xstartup script to display the desk in VNC client. You can choose which desktop system session to use.
Edit the xstartup script to enable different desktop sessions sudo nano /root/.vnc/xstartup
Gnome. The most powerful desktop session.
X-Window. The simplest desktop session.
Xfce 4. Linux like desktop session.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 29 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
After modifying the xstartup script you should restart the VNC service to make the modification work. First kill the current VNC service. vncserver -kill
And restart the modified vnc service. vncserver :1
(4). Use VNC-View on your computer to log in to your Banana Pro/Pi. Enter the
Banana Pro/Pi's IP and port. The port of desktop 1 is 5901, desk 2 is 5902 and so on.
You can use ifconfig command to get the IP address.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 30 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
This is an X-Window display.
On X-Window, if using the Chromium web browser, you should start the VNC service under a normal user and then use VNC-View to log in to the Banana Pro/Pi. Don't use the root user to start the VNC service.
Summary of Commands
The commands to start the VNC service: vncserver vncserver :1 tightvncserver
The commands to stop the VNC service:
Vncserver -kill tightvncserver -kill
The command to change the password: ps -axjf | grep vnc

3.2 Connect hard drive to SATA interface
The SATA port on the Banana Pro/Pi can be used with any SATA hard drive (in terms of data transfer).
However, in terms of supplying power to your drive, the Pro/Pi can ONLY supply 5
Volts to a 2.5 inch SSD.
In certain cases, connecting a 2.5 inch HDD is also possible, but some brands and models require too much current, especially during spin up, and this can damage the power rails of your SBC. Furthermore, it also depends on what rating PSU you are using, which and how many USB devices you have plugged in, whether your USB hub is powered or passive, and possibly a few other factors as well. If in doubt, power any kind of HDD externally.
Powering a 3.5 inch HDD MUST be done via an external power supply because it needs both +5V and +12V via a Molex connector. (An old PSU from a desktop computer is possible, but you need to physically connect two specific pins in the ATX connector block to simulate the Power button being pressed. Again, if you don't know what you're doing, buy a dedicated PSU - they're not expensive and are more efficient and therefore 'greener' anyway.)
The two pin SATA power output of the Pro/Pi is situated between the micro-USB DC
In and the corner of the board. The 5V pin is nearest the DC In (on the right as you look at it from the side) and the other is ground (GND).
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 36 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
For the connecting cables, you can get these easily and cheaply. Look on Amazon for
"dedicated SATA cable HDD connectors with power supply". In the UK, they are currently 3.70 GBP, in Europe 5.96 EUR (and you get 2 pieces!!) with postage also being very low. Delivery times are not quick however. Try and obtain them locally if possible (if the price is right) and 'try before you buy'.
Beware: it's been reported external link that some of these cables have the polarity of
+5V & GND the wrong way round!! (Unfortunately, the plug and its socket are
'keyed' and can only meet each other in one orientation, so it's not just a simple case of turning it upside down - pity!!!)
If you look closely at the photo in this blog, you can see insulating tape where he's chopped both cables and rejoined red to black and vice versa. (If you have the correct tool(s), it is maybe possible to push out the internal metal contacts of the plug like in a
Molex connector and then swap them around but it's VERY fiddly. Personally, rather than doing such a 'bodge job' as that blogger did, I would use some insulated bullet connectors.)
3.3 OTG
The OTG port (OTG = On the Go) allows you to connect any USB device using a special (but usually inexpensive) micro-USB to female Type A connector cable. This therefore gives you a total of 3 USB ports - more if you have a passive or powered
USB hub.
The socket for this port is located on the edge of the board where the SD card slot is,
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 37 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
just to the right of the Reset switch and around the corner from the SATA power supply socket. (Confusingly, it's in the same place as where the Raspberry Pi's Power
In socket would be - that SBC doesn't have an OTG socket of course - so if you are a regular R-Pi user just coming over to the B-Pi side of things, have your wits about you when connecting your PSU. Personally, I have my PSU plugged into a switched wall socket or switched extension cable with the micro-USB permanently connected to the Pi. This reduces wear and tear on the socket's metal housing and also the solder joints and anchor points around it on the PCB.)
In certain cases, the OTG port can also be used for supplying extra power to the SBC by plugging into it what will become for the Pi a second Power Supply, for example when first booting the Android 4.4 image. However, it is NOT recommended to plug in any power source into the OTG for Linux and/or Android 4.2 images at ANY time, and certainly NEVER on its own if there is nothing plugged into the DC In socket.

4.2 Extension Interface
4.2.1 LVDS/RGB/CPU display interface
LeMaker has designed three different size LCD modules, include 3.5 inch, 5.0 inch and 7.0 inch.
3.5 inch LCD module is RGB interface with 320*240 resolution.
5.0 inch LCD module is RGB interface with 800*480 resolution.
7.0 inch LCD module is LVDS interface with 1024*600 resolution.
Replace the configuration file
In order to use the LCD module, you need modify the script.bin file in your OS. You can donwload the modified file for each size LCD module from LeMaker github: https://github.com/LeMaker/fex_configuration git clone http://github.com/LeMaker/fex_configuration
Enter into the fex_configuration: cd fex_configuration
You will find two directories, bin and fex. In the bin directories there are compiled bin files that you can use it directly.
Enter the bin directory: cd bin
You will see 6 bin files, 3 for Banana Pro and 3 for Banana Pi. On Banana Pro, you need use the files named banana_pro_Xlcd.bin. On Banana Pi, you need use the files named banana_pi_Xlcd.bin.(X should be 35, 5 or 7, choose the right file according to what size LCD you use) Rename the corresponded bin file that you use to script.bin, and replace the new script.bin file with the old on in your OS.
The script.bin file is located at the first partition of your memory card with OS.
Examples are as follows:

In lubuntu, you also can use the application GUVCvideo.
4.2.3 Uart port
Enable UART
On Banana Pi, there are UART0, UART2, UART3, UART7 available. On Banana Pro, there are UART0, UART2, UART4, UART7 available. You can enable them or disable them in script.bin file. For example, if you want to enable UART3 on Banana
Pi, so you need first use bin2fex tool to transform script.bin to script.fex, and then you can edit the [uart3_para] in script.fex. Please refer to the steps in the 5.1 section. Set the uart_used value to 1 to enable it: uart_used = 1
Then transform script.fex back to script.bin using fex2bin tool.
Identify UART
When we enable uart3，we need to know uart3 is known as ttyS X (X should be 0，1，
2，3….). ls sys/bus/platform/devices/sunxi-uart.3/tty this displays ttyS X .
Test UART
By default, the serial baud rate is 9600, so we need set the serial debug tool baud rate to 115200 on PC. Connect the serial cable between Banana Pro/Pi and PC:
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 47 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
echo hello > /dev/ttyS2
If the UART3 is well, you will see hello on your PC. After that you can use the UART in your program.
4.2.4 IR
(1) Load IR kernel module:
modprobe sunxi-ir
(Now, sunxi_ir was built into kernel, you needn’t to do this step anymore. If you are not sure whether sunxi-ir is in kernel, please follow this step, you can add it in /etc/modules.)
Check if you have the correct device (should be dev/input/event0 ) cat /proc/bus/input/devices and/or check with dmesg (but no evidence about event* ) dmesg|grep sunxi-ir
So, Device is /dev/input/event0
(2) Find a working remote apt-get install evtest
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 48 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
Run evtest and press button on your remote facing the IR receiver and if you see some output ... bingo! You have found a working remote!
Remember: only few remotes work. evtest /dev/input/event0
(3) Now install and configure LIRC
apt-get install lirc edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf as below:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 49 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
START_LIRCMD=false
#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
START_IREXEC=false
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
# if LOAD_MODULES=false , modules must be preloaded, i.e. during boot (/etc/modules)
LOAD_MODULES=true
#MODULES="sun4i_ir"
# newer kernel
MODULES="sunxi-ir"
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event0"
START_LIRCD="true"
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
Now you must configure LIRC with your remote.
Take a look at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/generic/ and download a generic configuration file, i.e. NEC.conf. Run following command at /etc/lirc/.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 50 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
wget http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/generic/NEC.conf
Run irrecord to record the code of your remote.
irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event0 NEC.conf
Now, press the “Enter” key to start record your remote key code. First, you need to input a name for a key, you can’t define the key name by yourself, just run command like these to look at the legal key names.
irrecord -l

Edit NEC.conf.conf and manually remove the second code 0x00000000000000
Result
Edit NEC.conf.conf and change the 'name' from NEC.conf.conf to something better, i.e. BananaPi-IR .
Finally copy NEC.conf.conf to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
Now test lircd. Start (or restart) it with
/etc/init.d/lirc start and run irw and press some keys on your remote:
irw
SUCCESS : LIRC is working fine !

4.3 Resize SD card
Sometimes the image file is just 4GB or smaller. But the SD card is 8GB or 16GB.
Then we want to use the left space of SD card. So we can resize the SD card.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 55 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
4.3.1 Raspbian
In Raspbian, you can use bpi-config command to easy resize sd card. sudo bpi-config
Then select expand_rootfs to resize your SD card.
4.3.2 Other linux OS
From the command line or a terminal window enter the following: sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
Then type p to list the partition table you should see two partitions. if you look in the last column labeled System you should have:
Linux make a note of the start number for partiton 2, you will need this later. though it will likely still be on the screen (just in case).
Next type d to delete a partition.
You will then be prompted for the number of the partition you want to delete. In the case above you want to delete both the Linux and Linux swap partitions.
So type 2
Now you can resize the main partition.
type n to create a new partition.
This new partition needs to be a primary partition so type p.
Next enter 2 when prompted for a partition number.
You will now be prompted for the first sector for the new partition. Enter the start
number from the earlier step (the Linux partition)
Next you will be prompted for the last sector you can just hit enter to accept the default which will utilize the remaining disk space.
Type w to save the changes you have made.

5 Configure your Banana Pro/Pi
5.1 How to Modify the script.bin file
script.bin is a binary configuration file (lubuntu) used by Allwinner SOC core driver or LiveSuit. And it contains the information that how to set the peripherals, port, and
I/O pins of A10/A20 target board. Because we cannot compile the script.bin file directly, we have to modify the corresponding text file whose format is FEX. We can use the sunxi-tools to change binary file into text file or change it back. You can refer to more information as below: http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide
5.1.1 Download sunxi-tools tool:
git clone git://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools.git
Then go into sunxi-tools menu, and generate fex2bin and bin2fex file through “make” command.
There may be make failure in the course, so we enter the following command sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc sudo apt-get install pkg-config libusb-1.0
Then we enter the “make” command again.
5.1.2 How to get FEX file.
A. Get from AllWinner
Over there, it contains FEX file for different kinds of chipset such as A10 and A20, but currently banana Pi does not put their own FEX file in the Allwinner git, so the
FEX file from Allwinner is just for study. So the FEX file from Allwinner cannot be used at this stage.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 58 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
B. Get from image file.
Take the Raspbian_For_BananaPro_v1412 image file as an example. When we burn the image into MicroSD card, we can get the script.bin file from the /dev/mmcblk0p1 directory after the system booting, then we can use bin2fex tool to change it into compiled fex file.
5.1.3 Compile FEX file.
As shown above, we have used bin2fex tool to get the fex file. We can open this fex file with text tool(such as nano). And then we can edit the fex file.
Save the file, then exit.
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 59 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
5.1.4 Generate scrip.bin file.
Use fex2bin tool to re-compile the modified fex file into script.bin file, then copy the new scripy.bin file to the first folder.
So far, we can insert the MicroSD card to Banana Pro, and reboot.
5.2 Auto Log in to system
In Lubuntu
Modify the 20-lubuntu.conf file. sudo vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-lubuntu.conf
Insert the below lines after [SeatDefaults]: autologin-user=yourloginname autologin-user-timeout=0
5.3 Network Configuration
On Banana Pro, it has onboard WiFi adapter. On Banana Pi, you can connect a usb wifi adapter. Sometimes we hope connect wifi on boot, it is simple to achieve this by modifying network interface file.
5.3.1 Use WiFi as the station mode
Most people will use the on board WiFi to connect the router, so it is station mode.
(1)Load the WiFi driver
On Banana Pro, you need load the WiFi driver. Although we use AP6181, but the wifi driver is the same of the AP6210, so the driver name is called AP6210. You can use the command below to enable the WiFi:
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 60 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
sudo modprobe ap6210
You can see if the driver has been loaded by: lsmod
If you want to auto load the WiFi driver when you boot the system. You can add
"ap6210" into the /etc/modules file: sudo nano /etc/modules
And then add the "ap6210" below the file, save and exit.
(2)Use the WiFi
Raspbian
On the Raspbian system, you can connect to the WiFi hot spot by using the WiFi
Config application, as follows:
Lubuntu
On the Lubuntu system, you can connect to the WiFi hot spot by clicking the button which is at the right bottom corner of the desktop, as follows:

6 Applications
6.1 Using Banana Pro to build NAS home server
I have an old computer not to be used that just have the computer case, hard drive and a power supply. If you don’t use those devices they will be wasted. So I use the surplus equipment and Banana Pro (Using Banana Pi can achieve the same effect) set up my NAS home server.
6.1.1 The main function of the NAS home server
(1) File server: Use samba to realize the file sharing.
(2) Download machine: Use aria2c to realize the automatic download.
(3) Streaming media server: DLNA realize the use of computer or mobile phone playing the media files that were placed in the sharing directory.
The steps are as follows.
6.1.2 Preparation work
(1)Write the OS image file Raspbian for BananaPro to MicroSD card
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 68 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
(2) The preparation of hardware
1) Use the power supply to supply power for the hard drive
2) Connect the hard drive to the SATA port on the B-Pro
3) Plug in an RJ-45 Ethernet
4) Plugging in the mains adapter power on the Banana Pro.
(3)Format the hard drive to create a new partition and mount the root directory to the hard drive
1)Format the hard drive to create a new partition
Run the sudo fdisk /dev/sda command. Use the o command to delete all partition of hard drive and use the n command to add one new partition. Use the w command to save change.
Run the sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 command to format the new created partition of hard drive as ext4.
2) Mount the root directory to your hard drive
When we mount the root directory to the hard drive, the file system will start in the hard drive. This setting is a good way to protect our MicroSD card, when we need a long time to use the system .Specific methods are as follows.
Create a temporary directory in the root directory mkdir temp sudo fdisk –l
Mount the /dev/mmcblk0p2 to the temp directory sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /temp
Copy the file system to the hard drive partition sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt cp –aP /temp /mnt
Edit the /boot/uEnv.txt, sudo nano uEnv.txt
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 69 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
Change the content root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 as follow root=/dev/sda1
(4)Close the GUI
sudo nano /etc/X11/default-display-manager
Add false in the file
Reboot the system then graphical interface is no longer present. Automatically run in the CUI mode when the system reboot. The machine does not need to use the GUI.
The graphical interface for the B-Pro was closed to save computational resources.
6.1.3 Create a file server
Use the file server can achieve LAN file sharing. Through this function we can upload files to the shared directory or download files from the shared directory. Here we use the samba software to realize our LAN sharing.
(1) Set up static IP
Edit /etc/network/interfaces sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Change the iface eth0 inet dhcp as follow iface eth0 inet static
Add the content as follow address 192.168.1.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
And then delete iface default inet dhcp
Here the static IP is set to 192.168.1.15. Restart the network or reboot the system to

finish it. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
(2) Installation of samba services
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install samba sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin
(3) Add user and create the download directory
sudo useradd maker
To set a password for the new user, this is set to 123 sudo passwd maker sudo mkdir /aria2download/download sudo chown –R maker /aria2download/download
(4) Edit the samba configuration file
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
To find out the security = user and delete the symbol # in front of the sentence.
Add the content at the end of the file.
[aria2share] comment=my family’s share path=/aria2download/download valid users=maker public=no writable=yes browseable=yes create mask=0777 directory mask=0777
Banana Pro&Pi User Manual - 71 -
Copyright © 2015 LeMaker. All Rights Reserved.
Aria2share is the sharing file’s name that we can see on the computer
(5) Add Samba user
Here we set Samba password is 321 sudo smbpasswd -a maker sudo service samba restart
So far we have established the file server based on samba. Type the Winkey+R and input our IP address of the server. Then we will see our sharing file on the computer.
On the mobile phone use software ES file explorer to view the sharing file. In my
network page of the ES file explorer click the new option and input the path of our sharing file like
IP/sharing filename
then input user name with password. Here I input 192.168.1.15/aria2share. User name is maker and password is 321. We can manage our shared file in our phone now.
6.1.4 Download machine
(1) Set up aria2
1) Install aria2 sudo apt-get install aria2
Create a new directory and file sudo mkdir /etc/aria2 sudo touch /etc/aria2/aria2.session
2) To configure the aria2 sudo nano /etc/aria2/aria2.conf
Edit /etc/aria2/aria2.conf. The meaning of the content you can refer the aria2 manual from
