+ | === 5. Tips and tricks === | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.1. Bluetooth == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom chip providing Bluetooth. | ||
+ | However, the required firmware is not installed on Slackware ARM. | ||
+ | It means that you need to download and install it: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $ git clone https://github.com/ | ||
+ | $ mkdir -pv /where/you/want/ | ||
+ | $ cp -v misc-firmware/ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Then build your own Slackware ARM '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to enable Bluetooth you need to add the Bluetooth module, run the Bluetooth daemon, attach the device then open and initialize the device. | ||
+ | Add the following lines to the end of the ''/ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | if ps axc | grep -q bluetoothd; then | ||
+ | killall bluetoothd | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | if ps axc | grep -q hciattach; then | ||
+ | killall hciattach | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | if lsmod | grep -q hci_uart; then | ||
+ | rmmod hci_uart | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | if lsmod | grep -q btbcm; then | ||
+ | rmmod btbcm | ||
+ | fi | ||
+ | modprobe btbcm | ||
+ | bluetoothd & | ||
+ | while ! hciattach / | ||
+ | echo " | ||
+ | done | ||
+ | hciconfig hci0 up | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Remark: Sometimes there is a failure with the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can check that Bluetooth is working by typing: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $ hcitool dev | ||
+ | $ hcitool scan | ||
+ | $ sudo bluetoothctl | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Now, the Bluetooth is correctly set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.2. Keyboard == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The default keyboard map on Slackware ARM is the one of United Kingdom. | ||
+ | If you want to load an other keyboard map, edit the ''/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you want to change the keyboard layout for X11, you need to copy the X11 configuration file then edit it: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Now, the keyboard is correctly set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.3. Memory == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately, | ||
+ | It means that you will eventually not be able to run some applications requiring more memory. | ||
+ | However, you can extend your memory by creating a temporary 4 GB swap partition: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $ dd if=/ | ||
+ | $ mkswap /tmp/swap | ||
+ | $ sudo swapon /tmp/swap | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can check the current memory by typing: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Now, the memory is correctly set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.4. Processor == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Raspberry Pi processor can reach 1.2 GHz. | ||
+ | However, by default, it is stuck to 600 MHz even if it is used at 100%. | ||
+ | You can check the current frequency of the processor by typing: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to reach 1.2 GHz when the processor is used at 100% (i.e., use the frequency scaling), you need to change the default governors. | ||
+ | Add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Now, the processor is correctly set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.5. Time == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately, | ||
+ | That is why there is no battery included with the board. | ||
+ | It means that each time you shutdown the Raspberry Pi, the time is reset! | ||
+ | However, if you have internet access, you can update the time during the Slackware ARM boot. | ||
+ | Add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Now, the time is correctly set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.6. Video == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately, | ||
+ | It means that, by default, each application requiring OpenGL will be slow. | ||
+ | However, you can reach 60 FPS with OpenGL applications on the Raspberry Pi by using the correct driver. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Firstly, you need to build Mesa (>= 17.1.10) with the VC4 DRI driver: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $ CFLAGS=" | ||
+ | CXXFLAGS=" | ||
+ | ./ | ||
+ | --prefix=/ | ||
+ | --sysconfdir=/ | ||
+ | --with-dri-driverdir=/ | ||
+ | --with-egl-platforms=x11, | ||
+ | --with-gallium-drivers=vc4 | ||
+ | $ make -j4 | ||
+ | $ make install DESTDIR=/ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Then build your own Slackware ARM '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Secondly, add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Then reboot the Raspberry Pi. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can check that you are able to get 60 FPS with OpenGL applications on the Raspberry Pi by typing the following command in an X11 terminal: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | An other problem with the video is that the default resolution is 1824x984. | ||
+ | It means that you can see black borders around your 1920x1080 screen. | ||
+ | In order to fix that, add the following line to the end of the ''/ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Then reboot the Raspberry Pi. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can check that you are using a 1920x1080 resolution on the Raspberry Pi by typing the following | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Now, the video is correctly set. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == 5.7. UART == | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the ''/ | ||
+ | Consequently, | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | An easy fix is to edit the ''/ | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | with this one: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Then reboot the Raspberry Pi. | ||
+ | Now, the UART is correctly set. | ||
