APF6Dev

Description

This is the Armadeus System's standard development board/baseboard for the APF6 module.

The following options are available:

• GPS
• GSM

Errata

• As the board is also used for APF6_SP module (APF6+FPGA), you might experience some miscellaneous FPGA LED blinking (beside "FPGA_SW" button) when no FPGA is present.

Tips

• Using 7" 800x480 LCD with 3.10/3.14 legacy kernel:

BIOS> setenv extrabootargs video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,800x480@60,if=RGB666,bpp=32

root@apf6 ~ # fbset > /etc/fb.modes

• Activating HDMI console with USB keyboard in U-Boot (since armadeus-6.0):

BIOS> usb start
BIOS> setenv stdout serial,vga
BIOS> setenv stderr serial,vga
BIOS> setenv stdin serial,usbkbd

keyboard map is english one and it seems not possible to change it (U-Boot 2014.07) ?

• to activate login in Framebuffer console, please uncomment /etc/inittab line 35 this way:

# Set up a getty on LCD
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
