Raspberry Pi (简体中文)
来自 Wikipedia:
- "树莓派是有英国树莓派基金会开发的一系列只有信用卡大小的单板计算机,目的是促进校园中基础性计算机教学的发展。"
树莓派最初的版本于2012年发布,基于博通的BCM2835芯片(ARM11 架构)。而最新的树莓派2于2015年发布,基于博通的BCM2836芯片(双核 ARM Cortex-A7 架构)。

前言
这篇文章并不是详尽的安装指南,我们假设读者已经成功在树梅派上部署了ArchLinux系统。
系统架构
树莓派是一个基于ARM的设备,因此它需要专门为此架构编译的二进制软件。这些二进制软件由Arch Linux ARM project提供,他们把Arch Linux移植到了ARM设备上。在他们的官方网站上也有一个松散的社区,而Arch Linux官方社区并不对ARM架构进行官方支持。
由于新版的树莓派2的推出,现在不同版本的树莓派基于不同的ARM架构,因此也需要选择支持不同ARM架构的软件包:
- ARMv6 (BCM2835): 树莓派 Model A, A+, B, B+
- ARMv7 (BCM2836): 树莓派 2 (基于 Model B+)
SD卡性能
System responsiveness, particularly during operations involving disk I/O such as updating the system, can be adversely affected by poor quality/slow SD media. This is characterized by frequent, often extended pauses as pacman writes out files to the file system. The pauses are not due to saturation of the RPi or RPi2 bus, but are likely the bottle-neck due to a slow SD (or micro SD) card. See the Benchmarking#Flash media for more.
在树莓派上安装ArchLinux
参看 Arch Linux ARM Pi documentation 或者 Arch Linux ARM Pi2 documentation。
音频
snd-bcm2835
应当默认会被自动加载。下载 alsa-utils, alsa-firmware, alsa-lib 和 alsa-plugins 包:
# pacman -S alsa-utils alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins
可以使用alsamixer
来调整音量,请确保"PCM"没有被设置为静音(测试:MM
如果设置为静音,使用M
关掉静音).
选择一个音频输出:
$ amixer cset numid=3 x
参数x
应当为:
- 0 自动
- 1 模拟输出
- 3 HDMI
HDMI音频说明
有些应用程序需要设置/boot/config.txt
来强制开启HDMI模式:
hdmi_drive=2
音频
HDMI / 模拟 TV-输出
开启或关闭HDMI或TV-输出:
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice
Use the -s parameter to check the status of your display, the -o parameter to turn your display off and -p parameter to power on HDMI with preferred settings.
Adjustments are likely required to correct proper overscan/underscan and are easily achieved in boot/config.txt
in which many tweaks are set. To fix, simply uncomment the corresponding lines and setup per the commented instructions:
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border #overscan_left=16 overscan_right=8 overscan_top=-16 overscan_bottom=-16
Users wishing to use the analog video out should consult this config file which contains options for non-NTSC outputs.
A reboot is needed for new settings to take effect.
X.org driver
The X.org driver for Raspberry Pi can be installed with the xf86-video-fbdev package:
# pacman -S xf86-video-fbdev
Onboard Hardware Sensors
Temperature
Temperatures sensors can be queried with utils in the raspberrypi-firmware-tools package. The RPi offers a sensor on the BCM2835 SoC (CPU/GPU):
$ /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=49.8'C
Alternatively, simply read from the file system:
$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
49768
For human readable output:
awk '{printf "%3.1f°C\n", $1/1000}' /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
54.1°C
Voltage
Four different voltages can be monitored via /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd
as well:
$ /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_volts <id>
Where <id>
is:
- core for core voltage
- sdram_c for sdram Core voltage
- sdram_i for sdram I/O voltage
- sdram_p for sdram PHY voltage
Lightweight Monitoring Suite
monitorixAUR has specific support for the RPi since v3.2.0. Screenshots available here.
Overclocking/Underclocking
The RPi can be overclocked by editing /boot/config.txt
, for example:
arm_freq=800 arm_freq_min=100 core_freq=300 core_freq_min=75 sdram_freq=400 over_voltage=0
The optional xxx_min lines define the min usage of their respective settings. When the system is not under load, the values will drop down to those specified. Consult the Overclocking article on elinux for additional options and examples.
A reboot is needed for new settings to take effect.
Users may query the current frequency of the CPU via this command:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
Tips for maximizing SD card performance
See Improving performance for the general performance improvements.
Enable fsck on boot
To enable fsck on boot, the root filesystem should be mounted as readonly first, and then remounted as read-writable.
First, make root as read-only on boot. edit /boot/cmdline.txt
to add "ro" after the option indicating root partition.
ipv6.disable=1 selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 ro rootfstype=ext4 elevator=noop rootwait
Next, add next line in /etc/fstab
to remount the partition during boot.
/dev/mmcblk0p5 / ext4 remount,rw 0 0
Serial Console
Edit the default /boot/cmdline.txt
, change loglevel
to 5
to see boot messages:
loglevel=5
Change speed from 115200 to 38400:
console=ttyAMA0,38400 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,38400
Start getty service
# systemctl start getty@ttyAMA0
Enable on boot
# systemctl enable getty@ttyAMA0.service
Creating the proper service link:
# ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/serial-getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
Then connect :)
# screen /dev/ttyUSB0 38400
Raspberry Pi Camera module
The commands for the camera module are including as part of the raspberrypi-firmware-tools package - which is installed by default. You can then use:
$ /opt/vc/bin/raspistill $ /opt/vc/bin/raspivid
You need to append to /boot/config.txt
:
start_file=start_x.elf fixup_file=fixup_x.dat
Optionally
disable_camera_led=1
if you get the following error:
mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled mmal: main: Failed to create camera component mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates
try setting these values in /boot/config.txt
:
cma_lwm= cma_hwm= cma_offline_start=
Hardware Random Number Generator
ArchLinux ARM for the Raspberry Pi is distributed with the rng-tools package installed and the bcm2708-rng module set to load at boot (see this), but we must also tell the Hardware RNG Entropy Gatherer Daemon (rngd) where to find the hardware random number generator.
This can be done by editing /etc/conf.d/rngd
:
RNGD_OPTS="-o /dev/random -r /dev/hwrng"
and restarting the rngd daemon:
systemctl restart rngd
Once completed, this change ensures that data from the hardware random number generator is fed into the kernel's entropy pool at /dev/random
.
GPIO
Python
To be able to use the GPIO pins from Python, you can use the RPi.GPIO library. Install either python-raspberry-gpioAUR or python2-raspberry-gpioAUR[断开的链接:package not found] from the AUR.
