2. Image Installaon
This secon explains the setup requirements for boong from the eMMC.
The precompiled images are provided in the "Firmware" folder.
2.1 Installing with the Fastboot Mode
The rst step is to prepare the "fastboot tool" and install the "VIA USB driver" into your Windows 10 host
machine.
To get the "fastboot tool" for Windows, please refer to the "SDK Plaorm Tools release notes" chapter on the
Android developer website (hps://developer.android.com/studio/releases/plaorm-tools).
To install the "VIA USB driver", right-click on the mouse buon to install the "android_winusb". When nished,
it will show "The operaon completed successfully".
Then connect the Windows 10 host machine and the VIA VAB-950 through the Micro USB 2.0 port using a
Micro USB cable.
Micro USB 2.0 port diagram
Next, on the VIA VAB-950, set the two OS image jumpers (J7 and J5) to download mode as shown in the
diagram below.

Download mode Short Short Open
OS image jumper sengs
Plug in the AC-to-DC power adapter to power on the VIA VAB-950.
The VIA VAB-950 will stop at "fastboot: processing commands" as shown in the debug console below.

If you have already installed the image, use the following command to enter the Fastboot Mode on your
Windows 10 host machine.
D:\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
Unplug the AC-to-DC power adapter to power o the VIA VAB-950.
Set the two OS image jumpers (J7 and J5) back to the normal mode seng.

3. Hardware Funcons
This secon explains how to enable and test the hardware funcons precompiled in the Yocto 3.1 EVK including
using the debug console.
3.1 Using the Debug Console
The rst step is to connect the host machine and the VIA VAB-950 through the COM connector labeled as
"COM". Use a serial port communicaon program such as PuTTY or Tera Term to connect the debug console.
Set the console Baud Rate to "921600".
COM connector diagram
Next, power on the VIA VAB-950 to iniate the boot process.
When the boot process has completed, log in to the debug console. The default account is "username: root /
password: root".
3.2 Changing Kernel Debug Level
To disable kernel messages, modify the debug level using the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
3.3 Checking BSP Version
To check the BSP version, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# cat /proc/version

3.4 DVFS
To verify the DVFS (Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling) funcon and list all the supported features, use the
following commands:

3.5 Display
The VIA VAB-950 supports a choice of HDMI and LCD Panel display devices. To set the display device, rst
connect the Windows 10 host machine and the VIA VAB-950 through the Micro USB 2.0 port using a Micro USB
cable.
Then set the two OS image jumpers (J7 and J5) to the download mode.
OS image jumpers diagram
Plug in the AC-to-DC power adapter to power on the VIA VAB-950.
Use the following command to enter the Fastboot Mode.
root@aiv8385-linux:~# reboot bootloader
Make sure there is a "fastboot: processing commands" message in the debug console.
Next, run the cmd.exe on your Windows 10 host machine.

Use the fastboot.exe to set the display device by using the following commands:
D:\platform-tools>fastboot.exe oem display dsi
D:\platform-tools>fastboot.exe oem display hdmi
Use the following command to check the current display device. In the example below, the current display
device is the LCD panel output.

Note:
The default display device is HDMI output. Aer changing the display device, you must restart the VIA VAB-950.
To control the LCD backlight, use the following commands:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# cd /sys/devices/platform/backlight_lcd0/backlight/backlight_lcd0/
root@aiv8385-linux:~# cat max_brightness
16
root@aiv8385-linux:~# echo 16 > brightness
Note:
There are only 17 levels (0~16) for the LCD backlight control.
3.6 Video Playback
The VIA VAB-950 supports H.265 and H.264 video decoding up to 1080p@30fps/40Mbps.
To playback video, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# gst-launch-1.0 playbin ags=0x42 audio-sink="alsasink device=hw:0,28"
video-sink="mtkmdp width=1280 height=640 ! video/x-raw,format=I420 ! mtkwaylandsink"
uri="le:///mnt/test.mp4"

3.8 Camera
To preview an image from the CSI camera, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video5 io-mode=mmap ! video/x-
raw,format=YUY2, width=1280,height=720, framerate=30/1 ! mtkmdp width=1280 height=720 !
mtkwaylandsink sync=false
To capture an image from the CSI camera, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video5 num-buers=1 ! video/x-
raw, format=YUY2, width=1280,height=720, framerate=30/1 ! jpegenc ! lesink location=/data/
sda1/test.jpg
To record a video le from the CSI camera, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device="/dev/video5" ! video/x-raw,format=\
(string\)YUY2,width=1280,height=720 , framerate=30/1 ! mtkmdp width=1280 height=720 ! video/
x-raw,format=I420 ! v4l2h264enc bitrate= 9000000 gop=1 ! avimux ! lesink location=/data/
test.avi
To playback a record video le from the CSI camera, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# gst-launch-1.0 -q playbin uri=le:/data/test.avi ags=0x42 video-
sink="mtkmdp width=640 height=480 ! mtkwaylandsink" audio-sink="fakesink"
3.9 Wi-Fi
To check the current Wi-Fi AP "ssid" and "psk", use the follwing command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# cat /data/wi/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/tmp/wpa_supplicant
update_cong=1
network={
ssid="via_test"
psk="12345678"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=100
}
p2p_no_group_iface=1
cong_methods=display push_button keypad
driver_param=use_p2p_group_interface=1
wowlan_triggers=disconnect
wps_cred_processing=2
p2p_disabled=1
root@aiv8385-linux:~#
To change the Wi-Fi AP "ssid" and "psk", use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# vi /data/wi/wpa_supplicant.conf
The output will be displayed as follows. Update the "ssid" and "psk" values to the desired values and save.
ctrl_interface=/tmp/wpa_supplicant
update_cong=1
network={
ssid="via_test"
psk="12345678"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

VIA VAB-950 Yocto 3.1 EVK Quick Start Guide
wps_cred_processing=2
p2p_disabled=1
To verify the Wi-Fi funcon, use the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# ps | grep wpa_supplicant
569 root 8596 S wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/data/wi/wpa_supplicant.conf
754350 root 3536 S grep wpa_supplicant
root@aiv8385-linux:~# kill -9 569
root@aiv8385-linux:~# wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c /data/wi/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
WPS: Converting display to virtual_display for WPS 2.0 compliance
WPS: Converting push_button to virtual_push_button for WPS 2.0 compliance
root@aiv8385-linux:~#
To verify if the Wi-Fi connecon is workable, enable the interface, with the following command:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# udhcpc -i wlan0
udhcpc: started, v1.31.1
Failed to revert interface conguration: Connection timed out
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending select for 192.168.0.106
udhcpc: lease of 192.168.0.106 obtained, lease time 86400
/etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 192.168.0.1
Then use the "ping" command to verify the network connecon:
root@aiv8385-linux:~# ping 8.8.8.8
3.10 Bluetooth
To enter "interacve mode" for Bluetooth funcon vericaon, use the following commands:
root@aiv8362a-linux:~# btmw-rpc-test
increase the priority of btmw_rpc_test.i4_ret:0 @ main
set btmw_rpc_test priority done
[Client]Func:main Line:670--->: IPC/RPC initialize
YZ rpc_init is called
...
...
<I> [BTMW_RPC_TEST] init ok Normal Mode
<I> [BTMW_RPC_TEST] running.
btmw_test_cli>
In the example below, use a Bluetooth speaker to test.
First, get the Bluetooth speaker MAC address, which is "41:42:FC:81:75:7F" in this example.
To verify the Bluetooth funcon, use the following commands (using the speaker's MAC address in line 4):
btmw_test_cli> MW_RPC_GAP power 1
...
btmw_test_cli> MW_RPC_GAP set conn_disc 1 1
...
btmw_test_cli> MW_RPC_A2DP_SRC active_src 1
...
btmw_test_cli> MW_RPC_A2DP_SRC connect 41:42:FC:81:75:7F
...
btmw_test_cli> MW_RPC_A2DP_SRC write_stream /data/sda1/test.wav
...
btmw_test_cli>
