II．Using Method
1．Prepare the Hardware and Software
Hardware Requirement:
Orange Pi 3G-IoT Development Board
A PC for compilation with following specs:
64bit CPU
Up to 16GB RAM
UP to 40GB spare disk space
Operation system should up to Ubuntu12.04, it would be better if it is Ubuntu16.04
You could refer to Google file for more details: https://source.android.com/source/building
Software Requirement:
Orange Pi 3G-IoT SDK
Orange Pi 3G-IoT Firmware
Android-image-flash-tool
2．Power Methods
There are two methods for power supply:
Micro USB（5V 2A）in for power:
Battery in for power:
Usually use 4.2V battery to solder on the back side of the development board.
3．Before Usage
After receiving the product, please put the antennas of the product from the position of Pic 1 to the
position of Pic 2 (or to the outside of the board), which can not be attached to the board so as not to
affect the signal.

III．Android Compilation Environment Construction
1. Download SDK compression package
Take OrangePi_3G-IoT_Android4.4_V1.0_2018.tar.gz as an example, after get the original
compression package:
mkdir OrangePi_3G-IoT
tar zxvf OrangePi_3G-IoT_Android4.4_V1.0_2018.tar.gz -C OrangePi_3G-IoT
cd OrangePi_3G-IoT
2. Construct Compilation Environment
It could also refer to Google file: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
Install JDK
Compilation of Android6.0 is base on JAVA6, it needs to first install OpenJDK, gcc4.4 before
compilation.
Command for installing:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4
If the installation path is /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31 when configure environment variable of JAVA, then
execute the the following command on terminal to configure the data.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_31
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
Install Software Package
For Ubuntu12.04:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison ccache gperf libsdl1.2-dev
libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev
zlib1g-dev valgrind libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev
libx11-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev gcc-4.4

Orange Pi User Manual Copy right by Shenzhen Xunlong Softwawre Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 9www.xunlong.tv
g++-4.4 g++-4.4-multilib g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils xsltproc wine
For Ubuntu14.04:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison ccache gperf libsdl1.2-dev
libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev
zlib1g-dev valgrind libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev
libx11-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
g++-multilib g++-4.8-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils xsltproc libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
lib32readline-gplv2-dev wine
We could process to SDK compilation after finished the above.
3. Compilation of SDK Source Code
Full compilation
There are many compilation shell scripts for development.
Directory is: SDK/code/orangepi/scripts
$ cd code/orangepi/scripts
$ ls
anr_kk.sh auto.sh clean.sh init_project.sh tar_img.sh
auto.sh is automatically compilation script
clean.sh is automatically scavenging the compiled result script
tar_img.sh is packing script
One the directory of code/orangepi/scripts, we could execute automatically compilation script:
If the board is: 32g4g
$ ./auto.sh IoT03_mt6572_emmc_b1258_32g4g_ry_smt v00 eng
If the board is: 4g2g
$ ./auto.sh IoT03L_mt6572_lca_b1258_wg_4g2g_ry_smt v00 eng
The meaning of the parameter is:
#$1 project_info [eg: IoT_bd6737m_35g_b_m0_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2]

Orange Pi User Manual Copy right by Shenzhen Xunlong Softwawre Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 10 www.xunlong.tv
#$2 version_info [eg: v00 v01 ...]
#$3 compile_mode [eng:user userdebug eng]
Module compilation
Usually use the following command to change Kernel file:
./mk -o=TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=[user/userdebug/eng] projName n
K && ./mk -o=TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=[user/userdebug/eng] projName r bootimage
For example, if project is: hexing72_cwet_kk
./mk -o=TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng hexing72_cwet_kk n k &&
./mk -o=TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng hexing72_cwet_kk r bootimage
You could refer to MT6592_Driver_All_In_One_Part.pdf (after unzip SDK you will have this file) for
modification of driver compilation.

IV．Android Firmware Flashing
Relevant keys and connectors for firmware flashing of 3G-IOT:
After compilation, all the firmware will generate on the directory of:
code/IoT03_b1258_32g4g_ry_smt or code/IoT03L_b1258_wg_4g2g_ry_smt, and packed into
compression file as the name of IoT03_b1258_32g4g_ry_smt_20180403182516_v00_eng.zip.

After the above steps, you could refer to the previous section to flash image.
Or you could use the image we have compiled and pack: http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/
Unzip Android6.0 image via the following command:
$ tar zxvf IoT_op_smt_hd720_pcb_v2_v00_eng_20180126140300.tar.gz
You could get the list of firmware after ran the above command, or you could also compile by yourself
with reference of previous section.
Supporting OS of PC:
Windows 10
Windows 7 (32/64bit)
Windows 8 (32/64bit)
Ubuntu10.04 / 12.04 / 14.04 (32/64bit)
1. Flash Tool Introduction

c. After double click the selection, the partition information display section will automatically fill
the path of each partition file and the absolute starting address to which they are to be flashed.
d. In the top left corner of partition information display section, there would be a drop-down menu.
Three of this options:
Format All + Download // Format all information on the partitions and re-download the selected
partition
Firmware Upgrade // Update the difference on the selected partition
Download Only // Re-download no matter there is difference or not
Please note it: Usually update firmware you only need to select Firmware Upgrade, please do not

www.orangepi.org 16 www.xunlong.tv
select Format All + Download
It you select Format All, you will lose the calibration information which we worked before sending
out products. If this situation is inadvertent, please contact the Orange Pi service and obtain the
calibration parameters through the machine code, and re-flash the calibration parameters.
e. Insert Jumper cap：
f. Then connect with USB on PC and Mirco USB on Orange Pi via USB cable, the red LED will light
up.
g. Click Download button
h. The interface would show like the following after downloaded:
i. Take of the USB cable and insert Micro USB power supply
Wait around 5 seconds, it will display the charging interface of shutdown

Orange Pi User Manual Copy right by Shenzhen Xunlong Softwawre Co., Ltd
www.orangepi.org 17 www.xunlong.tv
When the Power button is loosened after 5 seconds, the system will start to enter the system
When the updated partition is more, the first boot will take a long time (the full partition update needs
8min), please be patient.
Windows OS would require to download SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1644_Win.zip, unzip and install it. Then
could refer to the manual of Linux to flash image.
