The audio loopback function On/Off button allows you to loopback line in/mic in to line out. 3.2.5.1 Cautions You must initialize the graphics at boot time if you want to use the GUI interface software. If you connect the AM62 platform to the screen using an HDMI cable after it has already booted, you will have missed the initialization opportunity, and you won't see any GUI on the screen.
3.2.6 Custom Button Default function: Press SW2 for 5 seconds and the machine will reboot. You can edit the following script file to modify the functionality of this button. /usr/sbin/sw_gpio.sh 3.2.7 I2C/SPI/GPIO interface (CN4) 3.2.7.1 CN4 Pin Definition Please refer to section 2.4.2 SPI/I2C/GPIO Connector (CN4). 3.2.7.2 I2C Command Example Please check the I2C device slave address on the bus (0x68).
3.2.7.3 SPI Command Example Please make sure to use version S-pipe - 1.0.2 to support switching SPI mode. Send \x90\x00\x00\x00\xFF\xFF to the SPI device with CS0.
