Iteaduino PLUS with A10 core Manual
Overview
ITEAD A10 CORE is a minimum system module based on design of A10 chip. With ARM Cortex A8 core, it
supports maximum frequency up to 1GHz. The high-speed digital circuit section and the overall power
circuit design of SDRAM on the module has been completed, so it can work directly after powering up
with a stable 5V supply.
Iteaduino Plus is a function evaluation baseboard for ITEAD A10 CORE, which breaks out the most of the
interfaces such as HDMI interface, Micro-SD socket, USB socket, SATA interface (data and power),
Ethernet RJ45 interface and audio input / output) socket on the core board module as well as some GPIO
interfaces for users to make secondary development.
Core board and baseboard are designed and sold separately. In the future, we will provide more
baseboards with various functions as well as more powerful core boards to meet the needs from different
users. Users can very easily make secondary development to realize their ideas on such basis, and they
can even design the shields on their own on the basis of the core board- the most complex high-speed
circuit has been modularized, thus design of shields would be relatively easy and simple.
With a variety of powerful library functions offered with ITEAD OS, users can directly manipulate ordinary
GPIO and UART interfaces (which has been achieved in β version), I2C and SPI bus (which will be realized
in V1.0 version), and we will continue to release various library files, such as TFT drive, servo drive, FFT

  • Page 2 PID algorithm and so on. As a result, users can easily operate different expansion hardware by calling library functions with ITEAD OS without need to learn the daunting driving principle of linux kernel. ITEAD OS's goal is to offer users development experience similar to that of Arduino under linux. Accessories...

  • Page 8 After the card is successfully written, the system will prompt information such as time spent on and speed of writing the card. Withdraw Micro-SD card and then insert it into socket on Iteaduino PLUS, connect to power supply and monitor, then we can enter the wonderful world of ITEAD OS.

  • Page 10 Micro-SD card with system written If you purchase 8G Micro-SD card from ITEAD, it will have the latest system written; if you already have a Micro-SD card, you can download ITEAD OS mirror package from the Internet and write it to the card according to the instructions.
  • Page 11 Start display screen. Connect one end of Micro-USB power adapter to power supply. Connect another end of the power adapter to Micro USB interface on Iteaduino PLUS, here Mini USB also works. We do suggest connecting to the power supply after you connect all the accessories. Although most connections support insertion and pulling when powering up, some products such as monitor are better to be powered up after the cable is well connected.
  • Page 12 Python: python language compiler tool 2. "iteadcompile" use instructions ITEAD OS β offers a small script called iteadcompile, whose function is to simplify the compilation process. During common gcc compiling process, we need to use "-l" parameter to develop the library used when compiling.

  • Page 14 Then you should be able to see file test.c. Next, perform iteadcompile test test.c You can see the program named test in folder /home/linaro/Documents by executing command ls. Then execute the program: sudo ./test Iteaduino PLUS with A10 Core Manual iteadstudio.com August, 2013...
  • Page 15 Although the script is relatively simple now, we will follow this idea to update the upgrades all along and our ultimate idea is to make an IDE similar to Arduino and to let the program compile and run directly after writing it in the IDE.
