1. ARM Ubuntu16.04 Overview

1.1. Cross-platform, consistent use experience on X86 and ARM platforms

Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distributions. At present, many industrial applications

are based on the Ubuntu platform. Running Ubuntu on ARM is easier, more convenient, faster,

and more friend for industrial application development and maintenance. For existing X86

platform applications, it can be ported to the ARM Ubuntu platform more quickly and seamlessly,

while reducing development difficulty, cost and risk.

1.2. Rich Software Support

Ubuntu officially provides a very rich ARM package. For the ssh, telnet, ftp, qt library, mysql

database software, Java, , etc., which are commonly used in industrial control, off-the-shelf

software packages are provided. When the customer needs these components, there is no need

to cross-compile or port. Just like in x86, you can directly install it online through the apt

command.

1.3. Rapid Customization System

The Ubuntu ARM version provides a very rich software package, so customers can quickly install

the required software packages according to their own project requirements, quickly configure

the relevant systems, and customize the required system. Moreover, developers who already

have X86 Ubuntu experience don't have to spend time on ARM Linux development because the

development techniques and methods are exactly the same.

1.4. Rapid Development and Maintenance

In addition to providing rich software support, Ubuntu is also very mature in development and

has many resources. It supports multiple development environments such as gcc, qt, java, python,

mono, php, etc., and provides related software development tools. Customers can choose

familiar and appropriate development languages, environments and solutions as needed to

accelerate software development.

1.5. Graphical System Settings

The Ubuntu ARM version supports the XFCE lightweight desktop environment and runs smoothly

on ARM. Many system configurations such as network configuration and 3G/4G configuration can

be configured graphically, which is very convenient, fast and simple.

1.6. Long-term Support Version

Ubuntu is developed and maintained by the commercial enterprise Canonical. Its stability and

reliability are trustworthy. At the same time, Ubuntu provides a long-term support version -

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will provide 3 to 5 years of support and updates to meet the long-term support needs of industrial customers.

1.7. Advantech Provides Customized Industrial ARM Ubuntu Version

The ARM Ubuntu version provided by Advantech is based on ARM Ubuntu 16.04 and is adapted

for WISE-710. To meet the common needs of industrial customers, the following aspects are

customized:

1) Provide a variety of hardware test procedures and test instructions to facilitate customer

testing and verification of hardware, as well as learning how to use;

2) Provide sample programs and source code, such as serial communication, video playback,

for customer reference during development;

3) Support wireless modules such as peripheral WIFI/4G, and provide built-in drivers to

facilitate customers to establish wireless solutions;

Note:

You need to pay to use the Ubuntu system for commercial purposes. You first need to get the

official Ubuntu license. Please contact Ubuntu official for further information. You can also

contact Advantech PM, since Advantech has established communication and cooperation

channels with Ubuntu.

2. Advantech Ubuntu Software Support

2.1. Built-in software

Image supports much software commonly used by industrial users by default.

 common Linux command  Test demo  LAN Utility  ……

2.2. Install the package online with the apt command

If the required software is not included in the Ubuntu Image provided by Advantech, the ARM

Ubuntu system also provides the APT (Advanced Package Tool) package management mechanism.

In the case where the device is already connected to the network, the software can be queried

and installed online through APT related commands. APT automatically handles dependencies

and installs the required packages on the system.

Ubuntu offers a very rich ARM package. Most of the software required by customers can be

installed directly through the apt command without cross-compilation from the source code,

which is really convenient.

The apt command can automatically find the Ubuntu software server through the source

configuration file, and download the software from the service. Image has added Ubuntu's

official image source by default, so you don't need to re-edit the settings.

However, if some software does not exist in the official Ubuntu source, but a third-party Ubuntu

software source can be provided. The user can first modify the configuration of the software

source, add third-party software source, and then install the software online.

The image source for the Ubuntu 16.04 system is in /etc/apt/source.list.

Step1: Edit the source.list file to add a new image source.

Step2: Run the apt-get update command to update the image source.

2.3. Online Installation of Commonly Used Software

2.3.1 The apt command is used as follows:

 Install software package:

# sudo apt-get install packagename

 Remove software package:

# sudo apt-get remove packagename

 Get a list of new packages:

# sudo apt-get update

 Upgrade the system with available updates:

# sudo apt-get upgrade

 Query the required packages:

#apt-cache search packagename

 List more commands and options:

# apt-get help

For more information on the use of apt, you can check the relevant information online for a

deeper understanding.

The installation of some commonly used software packages for industrial users is listed

below:

2.3.2 Install Chromium browser

# apt-get install chromium-browser

2.3.3 Install database software mysql

# apt-get install mysql-server

2.3.4 Install Apache web server

# apt-get install apache2 apache2-dev

2.3.5 Install PHP

# apt-get install php

2.3.6 Install Python

# apt-get install python

2.3.7 Install SSH (built-in)

# apt-get install openssh-server

2.3.8 Install VNC

# apt-get install x11vnc

2.3.9 Install Mono

If installed in the default way:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

The default version currently provided by Ubuntu is mono 4.0. If the customer wants to use a

higher version of mono 5.2, you can modify the software source configuration file by the method

provided before, add Mono official software source, or you can modify the software source by

the following command:

#sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys

3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF

#echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu xenial main" | sudo tee

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official.list

#sudo apt-get update

#sudo apt-get install mono-complete

Up till now, mono 5.2 has been installed.

3. Ubuntu16.04 System Burning and Boot

3.1. Required hardware and software environment

 WISE-710  RS232 serial cable  Install Ubuntu16.04 on X86 development host (So it is with WISE-710 Ubuntu16.0 device)  WISE-710 Ubuntu Image  SD card (8G or more)

3.2. Debug port setting

(1) Connect RS232 serial cable.

Set SW9 DIP switch of WISE-710 and switch COM1 to debug mode.

Connect the RS-232 serial cable to COM port and the other end of the serial cable to your host.

(2) Install the serial debugging tool putty under Linux.

# apt-get install putty

If it is a Windows environment, you can also download the Windows version of putty from the

network to install.

(3) Use the putty tool to set the serial port number, the baud rate is 115200.

Please use the root user to open putty. The serial port number is the number of the serial port

that debug first connects. For example, under Linux system, if the first serial port is connected (as

shown above), it may be /dev/ttyS0; if you are using a USB to serial cable, it may be

/dev/ttyUSB0.
