iMX6Q SABRE Lite WEC2013 Solution from Adeneo Embedded

23 February 2016, Nürnberg, Germany: Toradex is pleased to announce a new member of its System on Module (SOM) product line based on the NXP i.MX 7 series applications processors. The processors offer an excellent performance/power ratio, advanced security features, and a heterogeneous multicore architecture based on ARM ® Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores, which make the platform a perfect fit for products targeting the rapidly growing IoT market. Some of the features of new SOMs: Colibri iMX7S and Colibri iMX7D are; NXP i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual applications processors 1x/2x ARM ® Cortex-A7 up to 1GHz & 1x Cortex-M4 at 200MHz 256MB/512MB RAM, 512MB on-board Flash Asymmetric/ Heterogeneous multicore processing Low power consumption/ high efficiency Advanced security features Connectivity: CAN, Ethernet, USB, I2C, UART, etc. Multimedia: Touch, RGB, Camera Parallel Interface, Analog Audio, etc. Temperature range -20° to 85° C The additional Cortex-M4 core is tailored for time-critical applications. This unique heterogeneous multicore architecture allows to clearly separate real time tasks from any server or GUI-related applications. The i.MX 7 processor also includes many additional security features such as secure boot, cryptographic acceleration and tamper detection, which are of high value for the IoT market. Toradex's internal benchmarks prove the effectiveness of the new architecture used for i.MX 7 processors. While the performance is comparable to the very successful i.MX 6Solo processor (ARM ® Cortex-A9 1GHz) SoC, the power consumption in operating mode is in the range of the Colibri VF61 (ARM ® Cortex-A5 500MHz) or less than 75% of the power consumption of i.MX 6Solo. When looking at the standby mode, i.MX 7 requires even less than a third compared to the power consumption of i.MX 6Solo.                                                                                                       *Results are based on nbench benchmarking, which uses a single-core, so performance & power consumption figures                                                                                                                 are comparable between dual-core i.MX 7Dual and single-core SoCs such as i.MX 6Solo, VF61 & VF50 The Colibri iMX7S/D SOMs are an extension to the robust and compact Toradex embedded computing SOMs and customized Single Board Computers (SBC), which are used in variety of industries such as industrial automation, medical, automotive, robotics and many more. Toradex’s products are ideal for quickly creating proof-of-concepts as well as scaling seamlessly from prototypes to tens of thousands of devices, without the need to redesign the embedded computer. “We are happy to be one of the first companies in the world providing a product based on the NXP ® i.MX 7 series. This processor offers an upgrade path from our pin-compatible VFxx-based platforms while retaining the unique combination of two different cores on the same die. By controlling sensors and actuators through the Cortex-M4 core and running non-time critical tasks on the Cortex-A7 core, many customers can massively reduce both the system complexity and the BOM cost. This great product is another result of a longstanding and strong partnership between Toradex and NXP,” said Stephan Dubach, CEO, Toradex. “NXP is looking to drive wide adoption of the i.MX7, critical to our success are system level board designs from our partners that enable our customers to effectively accelerate time to market.

This post is about adding cellular modem support on the Boundary Devices i.MX6 boards under Ubuntu.  Many customers have requested cellular modem support on our i.MX6 boards (BD-SL-i.MX6, Nitrogen6X, Nitrogen6_Lite and Nitrogen6_MAX).  Since most cell modems are USB or PCIe devices, configuration is a software task, and mostly done in userspace. The steps are also different for Android, embedded Linux and desktop distributions.  In other words, its complicated. In this post, we’ll walk through all of the steps needed to configure a specific set of modems under Ubuntu as a reference. If you’re using another modem or another userspace, the details may be different, but the fundamentals will be the same. We used the Huawei E3131 USB dongle , and Huawei MU609 Mini-PCIe during this process, and will be adding them to our default kernels going forward. As you can see in this patch, we did have to add some USB device ids and make minor updates to the kernel as provided by the vendor. In the process, we should now also support the following Huawei models for various regions and carriers: MC323   CDMA: Downlink:153.6 kbps, Uplink: 153.6 kbps MU509   WDCMA: Downlink:3.6 Mbps, Uplink: 384 kbps MC509   EVDO: Downlink:3.1 Mbps, Uplink: 1.8 Mbps MU609   HSPA+: Downlink:14.4 Mbps, Uplink: 5.76 Mbps MU709   HSPA+: Downlink:21.6 Mbps, Uplink: 5.76 Mbps ME906   LTE: Downlink:100 Mbps, Uplink: 50 Mbps ME909   LTE: Downlink:100 Mbps, Uplink: 50 Mbps ME936   LTE: Downlink:100 Mbps, Uplink: 50 Mbps For more details including links to images as well as detailed descriptions on how to implement, please visit this blog post:  http://boundarydevices.com/cellular-modems-on-i-mx6-boards/

Introduction Currently there is not an easy procedure to build Qt 5.1 with hardware acceleration support for Freescale i.MX6 platform. This document describes the steps necessary to download all the prerequisite oftware, build Qt 5.1 code and examples, and verify the hardware acceleration support status. Required Software 1.     To start building, we need some development tools. This build is verified on LTIB (L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source.tar.gz downloaded from FreeScale website) and cross-compiled on a Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit PC. Verify that gpu-viv-bin-mx6q option is enabled in the LTIB configuration.                    $ mkdir -p ~/BSP                    $ cd ~/BSP                    $ tar -xzvf L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source.tar.gz   2.     Download Qt 5.1.1 source code from the Qt-project website. Create a build directory and extract the content in it.                    $ mkdir -p ~/Qt5                    $ cd ~/Qt5                    $ tar -xJvf qtbase-opensource-src-5.1.1.tar.xz Build procedure: 1.     Enter the Qt5 build directory and create a configuration script as follows:                   $ cd ~/Qt5/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.1/qtbase                   $ vi config.imx6                   #!/bin/sh                   ./configure -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -device imx6 \                   -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=\                   /opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.6.2-glibc-2.13-linaro-multilib-2011.12/fsl-linaro-toolchain/bin/arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi- \                  -no-pch -no-opengl -no-icu                  -no-c++11 \                  -opengl es2 \                  -eglfs \                  -compile-examples \   2.     Edit the device configuration to specify the root file system of the BSP. Make sure the config file contains lines that match with what lists below                    $ cd ~/Qt5/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.1/qtbase/mkspecs/devices/linux-imx6-g++                    $ vi qmake.conf                    ROOTFS=/home/trainee/BSP/L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source/ltib/rootfs                    QMAKE_INCDIR           += $$ROOTFS/usr/include                    QMAKE_LIBDIR           += $$ROOTFS/usr/lib                    QMAKE_LFLAGS           += -Wl,-rpath-link,$$ROOTFS/usr/lib   3.     Run the configuration script and make sure that Qt5 has openGL ES 2.0 support when it is complete. Note that you must run 'make confclean' to remove the previous configuration when any hanges are made to the script.                 $ ./config.imx6                           This is the Qt Open Source Edition.                           You are licensed to use this software under the terms of  the Lesser GNU General Public License (LGPL) versions 2.1.                           You have already accepted the terms of the  license.                           Creating qmake...                            ….                            ….                            Support enabled for:                            Accessibility  .......... yes                            ….                            OpenGL .................. yes (OpenGL ES 2.x)                             ….                            Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.             Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.             Qt will be installed into             /home/trainee/BSP/L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source/ltib/rootfs/usr/local/Qt5.1.1             Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from             the previous build.   4.     Do a build. Note that all the libraries are copied to the appropriate directories in the root file system.                    $ make all -j8                    $INSTALL_ROOT=/home/trainee/BSP/L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source/ltib/rootfs/ sudo                    make install        5.     Build the examples                $ cd examples                $ make   6.     Copy an example (hellogl_es2) used to demonstrate openGL ES to the root file system.                $ sudo cp opengl/hellogl_es2/hellogl_es2                /home/trainee/BSP/L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source/ltib/rootfs/    Verify h/w acceleration support: 1.     Boot the board and verify that the galcore module is installed               $ cat /proc/devices | grep galcore               $ ls /dev/galcore   2.     Set up the required Qt environment               $ export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/Qt-5.1.1/plugins/        3.     Run the example. You shall see a rotating Qt logo on the display.               $ cd /               $ ./hellogl_es       4.     Run top command and it shows the application running with a very low (0 – 1 %) cpu usage.               $ top                 PID PPID USER     STAT   VSZ %VSZ CPU       %CPU COMMAND                                      2820 2809  root         S         188m 21.5   0              0.7       ./hellogl_es2 About Adeneo Embedded Adeneo Embedded provides system integration, design, support and training services to companies seeking world-class expertise in embedded solutions using high-performance architectures.
