Rotation control

According to xrandr, the current display device is HDMI-1.

Set the rotation of HDMI-1.

Normal display of the picture

(console)$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate normal

Rotate right, clockwise rotation of 90 degrees

(console)$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Rotate left, clockwise rotation of 270 degrees

(console)$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate left

Invert, clockwise rotation of 180 degrees

(console)$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate inverted

Touch calibration

Step 1: Install tools

$ apt update
$ apt install xinput
$ apt install xinput-calibrator

Step 2: View the Device and ID. It can be known that the ID of the goodix-ts device is 11.

$ xinput_calibrator --list 
Device "goodix-ts" id=11

Step 3: Reset the transpose matrix and calibration matrix. This is very crucial. The transpose matrix needs to be adjusted according to the screen rotation, and the calibration matrix can be set to the default value.

$ xinput set-prop $id --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
// xinput set-prop 11 --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

$ xinput set-prop $id --type=float "libinput Calibration Matrix" 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
// xinput set-prop 11 --type=float "libinput Calibration Matrix" 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0

Modify the touch direction (can be modified according to the name). Default direction

$ xinput set-prop $id 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
// xinput set-prop 11 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1

Modify the touch direction (can be modified according to the name). 90 degrees to the left

$ xinput set-prop $id 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
// xinput set-prop 11 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

Modify the touch direction (can be modified according to the name). 90 degrees to the right

$ xinput set-prop $id 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
// xinput set-prop 11 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

Modify the touch direction (can be modified according to the name). Rotate 180 degrees

$ xinput set-prop $id 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1
// xinput set-prop 11 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1

Step 4: Start calibration

$ xinput_calibrator -v --device $id
// xinput_calibrator -v --device 11

Language Configuration

Debian 12

To modify the system language, open the command-line terminal and execute the following commands. Restart the system for the changes to take effect.

Set the language to English

$ locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
$ sed -i 's/^# *\(en_US.UTF-8\)/\1/' /etc/locale.gen
$ echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/default/locale
$ echo "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/profile.d/zh_CN.sh
$ echo "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/profile.d/zh_CN.sh
$ echo "export LANGUAGE=en_US:en" >> /etc/profile.d/zh_CN.sh
$ reboot

Set the language to Chinese

$ locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8
$ sed -i 's/^# *\(zh_CN.UTF-8\)/\1/' /etc/locale.gen
$ echo "LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" > /etc/default/locale
$ echo "export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8" > /etc/profile.d/zh_CN.sh
$ echo "export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" >> /etc/profile.d/zh_CN.sh
$ echo "export LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh" >> /etc/profile.d/zh_CN.sh
$ reboot

Time Zone Configuration

The changes take effect after the system is restarted.

Set the time zone to Asia/Shanghai

$ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

Set the time zone to America/New York

$ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

Network Configuration

Debian 12

Use the ifconfig and route commands (temporary settings)

This method will be invalid after the system is restarted, but it can quickly test the configuration of a fixed IP.

Use the ifconfig command to set the IP address, subnet mask, and broadcast address:

sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP> netmask <netmask_num> broadcast <broadcast ip>

For example:

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255

sudo: Run the command with administrator privileges.
ifconfig: Used to configure network interfaces.
eth0: Network interface name. You can view your own network interface name through ifconfig -a, which may be eth0, ens33, or other names.
<IP address>: The fixed IP address you want to set.
<Subnet mask>: Usually 255.255.255.0 or other subnet masks.
<Broadcast address>: Generally calculated based on the IP address and subnet mask. For example, for the IP address 192.168.1.100 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the broadcast address is 192.168.1.255.

Use the route command to set the gateway:

sudo route add default gw <gw addr> eth0

For example:

sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0

route: Used to configure routes.
add default gw <Gateway address>: Add the default gateway.
<Gateway address>: The gateway address of your network.

Use the /etc/network/interfaces file (long-term settings)

This method can achieve a long-term and stable fixed IP configuration.

Edit the /etc/network/interfaces file:

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

sudo: Run the command with administrator privileges.

Add or modify the network interface configuration:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
   address 192.168.1.100
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   gateway 192.168.1.1
   # If you need to set the DNS server, you can add the following lines
   dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

auto eth0: Indicates that the eth0 interface is automatically enabled when the system starts.
iface eth0 inet static: Indicates that the eth0 interface uses a static IP configuration.
address: Set the IP address.
netmask: Set the subnet mask.
gateway: Set the gateway.
dns-nameservers: Set the DNS server. Here, Google's DNS servers are used. You can use other DNS servers, such as 114.114.114.114, etc.

Save and exit the editor:

In vi, press ESC, then enter :wq, and press the ENTER key to save and exit.

Restart the network service or the system:

sudo service networking restart

Or directly restart the system:

sudo reboot

NFS Configuration

Environment configuration

sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server
sudo apt install rpcbind
sudo apt install nfs-common

Server side

Configure the shared files

$ mkdir /home/kickpi/nfs_share
$ chmod 777 /home/kickpi/nfs_share
$ vi /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
#               to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes       hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4        gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes  gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
# 
/home/kickpi/nfs_share *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

Start the service

sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

View the currently shared files on the server to prove the sharing result

$  showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/home/kickpi/nfs_share *

Client side

Chrome Hardware Acceleration

Test platform: K7 Debian 12 Chrome

Test method

Copy 1080P and 4K videos to the board and decode them locally through the Chrome browser.
Check the GPU usage:

cat /sys/devices/platform/*gpu/utilisation   // The display result is in percentage.

Open and print the frame decoding log:

export mpi_debug=1
export mpp_debug=1
export h264d_debug=1
export mpp_syslog_perror=1
echo 0x100 > /sys/module/rk_vcodec/parameters/mpp_dev_debug

Backup the File System

When the file system is modified, it needs to be copied to other boards of the same type.

You can export the file system in the following way and then reflash it.

Connect a USB flash drive (or other storage device) to the board. The size should be at least 16GB or more because the generated image will be relatively large.

Run our packaging script on the board.

ff_export_rootfs (Storage device path) -t ext4

The format of the generated package name

*_ext4_*.img

Note:
Since the file system is large, it takes a long time to back up the system.
Since the maximum single-file size of FAT32 is 4GB, it is not recommended to use a storage device with the FAT32 file system for backup.

4G/5G Configuration

Script configuration

Configure the 4G/5G mobile module to start up, detect the presence of the module, and configure the dial-up connection.

(console)$ cat /usr/bin/hardware-optimization 
4g_config() {
    wait_time=30
        for((i=1;i<=$wait_time;i++));
        do 
                if [ -c /dev/ttyUSB2 ]; then
                        echo "$i: 4g /dev/ttyUSB2 exists and is a character device." >> $LOG_FILE
                        /usr/bin/4G_dialing.sh
            break;
                else
                        echo "$i: 4g /dev/ttyUSB2 does not exist or is not a character device." >> $LOG_FILE
                        sleep 1
                fi
        done
}

By default, the system will only attempt to dial up once at startup. In case of poor signal or communication abnormalities, the dial-up may fail.
If there is no network, you can run the dial-up script to retry.

The dial-up script is compatible with RG200U / EC200 / EC20.

(console)$ ls /usr/bin/4G_dialing.sh

The RG200U module dials up automatically. You can force the configuration and restart the module.

(console)$ 4G_dialing.sh force

This operation will reset the module. You need to wait for /dev/ttyUSB2 to be remounted, and then the 4G_dialing.sh script will perform the dial-up configuration again.
That is:
$ 4G_dialing.sh force
Wait for /dev/ttyUSB2
$ 4G_dialing.sh

Internet access identification

Check if the module is connected

Check the log to determine.

$ cat /tmp/kickpi-hardware.log 
1: 4g /dev/ttyUSB2 does not exist or is not a character device.
2: 4g /dev/ttyUSB2 does not exist or is not a character device.
...
24: 4g /dev/ttyUSB2 does not exist or is not a character device.
25: 4g /dev/ttyUSB2 exists and is a character device.

/dev/ttyUSB2 exists and is a character device.
Indicates that the device is successfully recognized.

Or check if /dev/ttyUSB2 exists.

$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0  /dev/ttyUSB1  /dev/ttyUSB2  /dev/ttyUSB3  /dev/ttyUSB4

Check if the dial-up is successful

(console)$ ifconfig

Other

The display service will be restarted when Debian updates the system for the first time

To be compatible with different chips, the general Debian system will install various differential packages, such as libmali and isp packages, according to the chip when /etc/init.d/rockchip.sh is started for the first time. After the installation, the display service will be restarted. If it is an independent project, you can handle these differences when creating the image.

0.000172 - 285

The content after Begin perf... shows the performance data of multiple runs of the model:
Each record shows the run number, the corresponding elapsed time (Elapse Time), and the frames per second (FPS). For example, 0: Elapse Time = 2.85ms, FPS = 351.12 means that during the first run of the model inference, it took a total of 2.85 milliseconds, and thus it can process 351.12 frames per second (the FPS is calculated by dividing 1000 by the elapsed time for each run to get the frames per second after unit conversion).
The ---- Top5 ---- section presents the top 5 categories with the highest probabilities in the model inference output results, along with their corresponding probability values and category numbers:
0.935059 - 156 means that the model believes the input data (such as an image) is most likely to belong to category number 156, with a corresponding probability as high as 0.935059. This relatively high probability value indicates that the model has a relatively high confidence in this judgment.
The subsequent 0.057037 - 155, 0.003881 - 205, 0.003119 - 284, and 0.000172 - 285 list the category numbers and probability values of the second to fifth highest probability categories respectively. These probability values decrease in sequence, indicating that the model's confidence in their belonging to the corresponding categories also gradually decreases.
