II．Using Method Introduction
1. Hardware and Software Requirement

Hardware Requirements：
 Orange Pi 3
 TF card in min 8GB and class 10, recommend using a famous brand TF card, such as
Sandisk 16GB TF card
 A PC for compilation with following specs:
64 bit CPU
Up to 8GB RAM
Up to 100GB spare disk space
Operation system at Ubuntu14.04 would be better
Software Requirements：
 Orange Pi 3 SDK
 Orange Pi 3 Firmware
 Android and Linux flash tool
Below files could be downloaded from Github and Mega, more details pls visit our
website：
https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong
http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/
2. Power Supply Requirement

There are two methods for power supply：
 DC (5V 2A) in for power
 Micro USB(5V 2A)OTG in for power
III．Android Compilation Environment Construction
The following operations are based on Ubuntu 14.04, there might be some difference if
you are working with Ubuntu or Linux distro。
1. Download SDK compression package

After download Android SDK, you need to first packed several compressed files into one
package, then unzip the package just packed.
$ mkdir OrangePi_3
$ cat H6-2018-1-2.tar.gza* > OrangePi_3.tar
$ tar xf OrangePi_3.tar -C OrangePi_3
2. Construct Compilation Environment
 Install JDK
It could only works on version openjdk8 for Android 7.0 compilation, it would cause failure if the
version not openjdk8. Commands for installing Openjdk-8 are as follows:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
 Configure environment variable of JAVA

If the installation path like this: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64, then you could operate the
following command in the terminal:
$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
$ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
$ export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
 Install Software Package

For Ubuntu14.04：
$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 \
lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev ccache \
libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip
$ sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools
3. Compilation of SDK Source Code
There would be android and lichee two directories after unzipped SDK package, contents
on lichee are as following
lichee/brandy/u-boot-2014.07 #uboot code directory

lichee/bootloader/uboot_2014_sunxi_spl #boot0 code directory
lichee/linux-3.10 #kernel code
lichee/tools #Hardware specs, packing tools, etc.
 Kernel compile steps

Input the following commands on lichee directory：
$ cd OrangePi_3/lichee
$ ./build.sh config
Welcome to mkscript setup progress

All available chips:
0. sun50iw1p1
1. sun50iw2p1
2. sun50iw6p1
3. sun8iw11p1
4. sun8iw12p1
5. sun8iw6p1
6. sun8iw7p1
7. sun8iw8p1
8. sun9iw1p1
Choice: 2
All available platforms:
0. android
1. dragonboard
2. linux
3. eyeseelinux
Choice: 0
All available business:
0. 5.1
1. 4.4
2. 7.x
Choice: 2
After the above compilation, you will get the following output：
regenerate rootfs cpio

15757 blocks
17099 blocks
build_ramfs
Copy boot.img to output directory ...
Copy modules to target ...
sun50iw6p1 compile Kernel successful
INFO: build kernel OK.
INFO: build rootfs ...

INFO: skip make rootfs for android
INFO: build rootfs OK.
----------------------------------------
build sun50iw6p1 android 7.x lichee OK
----------------------------------------
Kernel code is on the directory of lichee/linux-3.10.The system would copy the configure
file from lichee/linux-3.10/arch/arm64/configs/sun50iw6p1smp_android_7.x_defconfig
to lichee/linux-3.10/.config as default configure when you input the above compilation
command.
In the next compilation, you could run ./build.sh on lichee directory and go on with
previous .config configure.
 uboot/boot0 Configure Steps(Optional)

Usually there is no need to re-compile uboot, if you want to make some custom modification, then
please refer to the following：
cd lichee/brandy/u-boot-2014.07
make distclean && make sun50iw6p1_config && make -j5 #编译 uboot
cd lichee/brandy/u-boot-2014.07
make distclean && make sun50iw6p1_config && make spl #编译 boot0
If you do not compile uboot/boot0, it is default running with lichee/tools/pack/chips/sun50iw6p1/bin.
It would be replaced the default command if recompiled with the above command.
 Building Android from source code
$ cd android
$ source ./build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch petrel_fvd_p1-eng
$ extract-bsp
$ make -j8 && pack
The pack command is to pack it into firmware, if it is packed successfully, then there would be the
following information：
Dragon execute image.cfg SUCCESS !

----------image is at----------
OrangePi_3/lichee/tools/pack/sun50iw6p1_android_petrel-p1_uart0.img
pack finish
According to the above prompt, you could check the generated firmware of
sun50iw6p1_android_petrel-p1_uart0.img on the directory of
OrangePi_3/lichee/tools/pack/. About Android image flashing, you could refer to the
section of Android image flashing
IV．Linux Environment Construction
1. Download SDK compression package
 Orange Pi Linux Source Downloader

Orange Pi 3 Linux Source Code have been uploaded to GitHub, the kernel version is Linux 3.10. We
could use the OrangePi Linux source-specific downloader for download as follow:
$ sudo apt-get install git

$ git clone https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePi_Build.git
$ cd OrangePi_Build
$ ls
Build_OrangePi.sh lib README.md
 Run Downloader
$ ./Build_OrangePi.sh

After finished Android flash, click close and you could use this SD card with written
image to boot.
2. Steps for Android Firmware Flashing(Boot from EMMC Flash with

SD Card)
If you bought the orange pi 3 with EMMC flash slodered on board, then you could flash the
Android image into EMMC with SD Card, and then boot it from EMMC. If you bought the orange pi
3 without EMMC Flash soldered on board, then you could boot it from sd card only.
As shown in the figure below, the Orange Pi 3 development board with EMMC Flash chip is on
the left, but not on the right
The Steps of flashing image into EMMC flash with SD card are as follow：
 Format TF Card
Check whether card disk as same for TF card and selected disk, click restore to format SD card
 Choose Android image of Orange Pi 3, and then click the ‘量产卡
-Product’
Note the red marking in the following picture:
 Click burn-烧卡 enter into image flashing into SD card

After finished Android flash, click close-关闭 and you could use this SD card with
written image to boot. When you power the board, it will auto. transfer the image from sd
card into emmc, the red led onboard will be twinkled until the end. You could check the
following buring interface via the HDMI
Screen displayed during burning process
Screen displayed after burning
When it finished, unplug the power supply and sd card, the board with boot from emmc.
VI．Linux Firmware Flash
We could use Etcher to write Linux Firmware into TF card and boot the Orange Pi 3
with TF card. If you bought the orange pi 3 without EMMC Flash, then you could only
boot from sd card. Etcher supports following computer system:
 Linux（Most distro versions, such as Ubuntu）
 MacOS 10.9 or higher version
 Windows 7 or higher version
Etcher package could be downloaded from their website(https://etcher.io/) or Orange Pi

official website.
1. Install Etcher
 Install Etcher on Windows OS is same like installing other software(such as

PhoneixCard )
 Install Etcher on Ubuntu and Debian OS:
1. Add Etcher Debian library：
$ echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/resin-io/debian stable etcher" | sudo tee

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/etcher.list
2. Download key
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
3. Update and install

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install etcher-electron
4. Upload
$ sudo apt-get remove etcher-electron
$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etcher.list && sudo apt-get update
2. Flash Linux Firmware via Etcher
 Open Etcher like the following interface
 “Select image”, select Linux firmware you are going to flash
 Insert TF card, Etcher will recognize corresponding driver auto
 Click “Flash！” , after finished, boot the board with inserting the TF card
3. Flash linux Firmware into EMMC Flash with Scripts

If you bought the Orange Pi 3 with EMMC soldered on board, you could boot it from sd card as
well as emmc flash with linux os, you could flash the linux image into emmc flash with
OrangePi_install2EMMC.sh script.
Enter the command OrangePi_install2EMMC.sh in linux terminal, and input y according to the
reference, then linux image will be flashed into emmc auto.. After flash end, turn off the power,
unplug the sd card, re-power the board, you could boot the board fromm emmc.

VII．Linux System Usage
1. Reflect when booting with Linux

 Once the board boot, the RED LED would light up first, then RED LED off, then
YELLOW LED keep lighting
2. Login account and password

 User name: root, password: orangepi
 User name: orangepi, password:orangepi
3. Expand rootfs partition

You could expand roots partition once you made SD card with firmware. It could
enhance the performance of the system.
We could use the built-in scripts of resize_rootfs.sh to expansion after enter into system
The size of the available space before expansion of the system

5. WIFI configuration
Add the following configuration under /etc/network/interface, then restart the orange pi 3:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid orangepi //enter the wifi account（it is orangepi right now）
wpa-psk orangepi //enter the wifi WIFI password（it is orangepi right now）
6. Test Method of PCIE Interface

Matters need attention: USB2.0 cant be used simultaneously with PCLE,
otherwise error will occur.
At present, the driver of rtl8822be has been integrated in the Linux kernel by default. After
inserting RTL8822BE wireless network card module into the system according to the method shown
below, the system will automatically identify and load the 88x2be.ko kernel module
The lsmod command can be used to check whether the driver is loaded successfully, and the
ifconfig command can be used to check the corresponding network nodes of the PCIE wireless
network card

VIII．Using Debug tools
Prepare a USB to TTL cable like the following:
Connect the debug port with cable like the following, or you could check the function
onthe board silk
 Black——GND
 Green——RX
 White——TX
1. Operation Steps on Windows
In order to get more debugging information in the project development

process of using OrangePi, OrangePi default support for serial information
debugging. For developers, you can simply get the serial port debugging
information with the materials mentioned above. The host computer using
different serial debugging tools are similar, basically can reference with the
following manual for deployment. There are a lot of debugging tools for
Windows platform, the most commonly used tool is putty. This section takes
putty as an example to explain the deployment.
 Install USB Driver

Download and unzip the latest version of driver
PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v130.zip
Choose application installation as Administrator
Wait for completing installation
 Install Putty
You could download Putty from the following address and select a suitable version to your are
development environment
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
 Double click putty.exe to run putty, interface shown as below
 设备信息的获取 Equipment information acquisition
在 Windows7 中，我们可以通过设备管理器查看串口连接是否正常以及串口的
设备号。如果设备没有正常识别，请检查驱动是否安装成功。如果驱动安装有问题，
可以尝试使用 360 驱动大师扫描安装驱动。
 Putty Configure
Serial port should set to the corresponding port number (COM4), close
flow control and set the speed as 115200
 Start debug serial port with output

Power OrangePi on, putty will print out serial log information auto.
2. Operation Steps on Linux
When running putty, , there is not too much difference on Linux platform or Windows
platform. Here the instruction is based on Ubuntu 14.04 OS
 Install and start Putty
$ sudo apt-get install putty
$ sudo putty
 Configure Putty
Check serial number via ls /dev/ttyUSB*
Set baud rate into 115200
Close flow control
