<br />
There are no minimum orders.<br />
<br />
Please Note: It may not be possible to cancel your order once it has been placed. To avoid any trouble, please make sure you want everything in your cart before clicking 'Submit Order'.<br />

If you entered correct e-mail when filling your order you will receive e-mail confirmation if you complete your order online.<br />
<br />
You can check your order status from this page: https://www.olimex.com/order-status<br />
<br />
== Prices ==<br />
<br />
All prices on our web are in EURO currency. For customers from Bulgaria (when select Bulgaria as country in CHECKOUT page), prices are shown in Bulgarian Leva and payment is effected in BGN.<br />
<br />
All price discounts are generated automatically at the time when you enter your order depend on the quantity you enter, we do not offer any other discounts than these on our web.<br />
<br />
== Quotations/Offers ==<br />
<br />
Please do not ask us to make manual quotations/offers for you - all our offers are generated automatically - just add the items you are interested to your basket, CHEKOUT and select your country then select your preferred transport option - you will see how much total cost is and no need to ask us for this. Note that even if the orders are submitted they need to be paid to be processed. Orders which are submitted but not paid are ignored, so do not worry that you "place" order on our site. If the order is not paid it will not be proceed.<br />
<br />
== European VAT Registration and Exemption ==<br />
<br />
If you're a Non-Bulgarian VAT registered business based within the EU economic area you can avoid paying VAT on your purchase with us by taking the following steps:<br />
<br />
1. Enter your VALID VAT-ID when you place your order (the VAT-ID field will appear only when you select country within EU economic area). <br />
<br />
2. DO NOT place your order until you see the VAT at checkout go to zero.<br />
<br />
Requests to refund VAT on purchases made where there is a valid VAT number, but where the VAT-ID was not entered at the time of the purchase and the order is paid and shipped with invoice including VAT, will incur a EUR 30 admin fee to action the refund.<br />
<br />
Please be very careful when you enter your VAT-ID, we recommend you to check if it is valid VAT-ID first at [http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do?selectedLanguage=EN VIAS WEB site] as when you enter your order we do not do real time check due to the permanent problems with VIES servers they quite often timeout or are down. We check these VAT-IDs before shipping though, so entering incorrect VAT-ID will lead to significant delay in your order processing and it may be hold for several days untill we collect the not paid VAT 20%, so our advice is to enter only VAT-IDs which first you check on above web site and it confirms them. Some countries like Spain and Italy have "internal" VAT-IDs which are not updated to VIES VAT-ID server, if you have such VAT-ID please do not enter it as it is not valid VAT-ID for EU VAT free purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Payments ==<br />
<br />
All orders with us have to be pre-paid. We do not offer any other terms.<br />
<br />
''CREDIT CARD'': We accept Visa, Mastercard, Visa electron and Maestro cards. The card payments are processed online by United Bulgarian Bank card processing. Restrictions for this payment option for some countries exist, if when you select your country this payment option is not listed this means your country is excluded for security reasons. If the order value is above EURO 300 card payment fee will apply.<br />
<br />
To protect you from fraud payments with your Visa or MasterCard, we use the best practices recommended by international card organizations:<br />
*SSL protocol is used to encrypt the connection between our server and the servicing bank and your card info is transmitted secure.<br />
*The authenticity of your card is verified by introducing security code (CVV2)<br />
*In addition, to identify you as the cardholder, the payment server of our servicing bank supports the authentication schemes of international card organizations - Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode, in case you have registered to use them.<br />
<br />
<br />

Due to the high cost of accepting bank trasnfers all orders paid by bank transfer are subject to bank handling fee if your order is below EUR 1000.00; The bank handling fee is EUR 30 if the payment is sent form country outside Europe Union. Please note that all bank transfer fees should be covered by the sender (Detail of charges: OUR).

== Shipping ==<br />
<br />
We will ship your order in 3 working days after the payment receipt. All orders are shipped on first come first serve basis. For us all orders are equal urgent and we do not prioritize one order for behalf of others.<br />
<br />
Usually 90% of the orders which are paid before 10.00 AM Bulgarian local time are shipped the same day and these with payment received after 10.00 AM are shipped the day after we receive the payment, but we say we ship in 3 working days as sometimes there are many orders to process and this require additional time, so please always consider that your order will be shipped in 3 working days, if we ship faster we are sure you will not complain :)<br />
<br />
All orders are shipping from Plovdiv, Bulgaria.<br />
<br />
== Check order status ==<br />
<br />
<br />
You can check your order status from this page: https://www.olimex.com/order-status<br />
<br />
== Billing and Shipping ==<br />
<br />
We do not allow billing and shipping addresses in '''different countries'''. <br />
Please do not try to cheat by entering incorrect addresses for billing if in different country, on such orders the billing info will be deleted automatically.<br />
<br />
== Shipping invoices ==<br />
<br />
Invoices are generated at the time of shipping. The shipping invoice and notification is sent to e-mail address which is entered when order. If you do not receive shipping notification and invoice check in your SPAM filter or if your e-mail do not block PDF attachments.<br />
You can always download your shipping invoice for your current or previous orders at https://www.olimex.com/order-status<br />
<br />
==Broken Items during shipment==<br />
<br />
Note: claims for broken items can be made only if your shipment was insured. <br />
When you have shipment with insurance, please always check the shipment content in the presence of the courier when receive it.<br />
If there are broken items make official claim. If you do not make claim and you find items broken later when the courier is not present the courier company may decide that you broke the item after the delivery and not accept the claim.<br />
We will need this claim reference to deal with insurer.<br />
<br />
== Incorrect addresses ==<br />
<br />
Orders which have incorrectly filled addresses usually got non delivered and return back to us. In case of post shipments there are no additional fees for the returns, when parcel returns we just refund the cost of the boards without the shipping charge.<br />
<br />
The courier companies are more flexible, but if for some reason the customer didn't provide correct phone or address and is unreacahble there are two options - the parcel to be destroyed or to be returned back. Note that shipping back charges are ALWAYS several times higher than the special shipping charge we have from the couriers because we have special discount only for shipping from Bulgaria, but when the shipment is from another country (return) they bill us on their standard tariff which is in range EUR 80-100.<br />
<br />
For the couriers the shipping address must be physical address with someone who is AVAILABLE to sign for the delivery. No POST BOX or address where no one is during the working courier hours. They will not leave it on the address without someone to sign. Also couriers will not deliver to UNIVERISTY addresses where thousands of peoples are located. They will not spend time to look for you in the University just return the parcel.<br />
<br />
== Shipping options ==<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: Olimex cannot be held responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen packages for non insured parcels.'''<br />
<br />
If you want to add insurance please check the insurance checkbox on the checkout page.<br />
<br />
Note that all times quoted below are for WORKING days and exclude weekend days, also if your country is outside EU there may be additional delays caused by import export procedures and customs clearances.<br />
<br />
''AIRMAIL'': This is not-insured, non-trackable POST service. We allow only orders under EUR 100 to be shipped with this service. Delivery to Europe usually takes 1-2 weeks, outside Europe 2-5 weeks. Once we ship by POST there is no way to track or trace where is your shipment or if it stolen, missing etc. Be careful and use this shipping option on your own risk. If you choose this shipping option, we can't do anything to help you with your parcel once we ship. Orders sent by post will not have a proof of postage.<br />
Why I do not have cheap AIRMAIL shipping for my country? Airmail is available for every country, but it's slow service and some people do not want to wait, but just dispute their payments after 1-2 weeks from the shipping, then they receive their parcel for free and forget that they disputed the payment, when the number of such people from given country rises too much, we just disable this shipping option for this country.<br />
<br />
''DPD CLASSIC'': This is Road service very suitable for shipments with higher weight, usually arrives in any European destination for 1 week. All parcels shipped by DPD have automatic Limited insurance for up to 520 EUR per parcel, with online tracking at www.speedy.bg DPD do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''DHL'': This is probably the best option to use as DHL accept parcels up to 17.00 oclock, this means that if you are from EU and place your order even hour before we close there is pretty good chance your parcel to be on your desktop next day in the morning. Good price and very fast service. Our own monitoring show that all parcels we ship with DHL usually are delivered in average 1.5 days worldwide (do not include customs delays), this means large portion of the shipments are delivered next day. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.dhl.com. DHL do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''TNT EXPRESS'': This is good price and fast service but TNT accepts parcels until 15.00 o'clock so if your order arrives later the shipment will be next day. For most of the Europe destinations and parcels arrive next day or in 2-3 days, but not as fast as DHL for other parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.tnt.com. TNT do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''FEDEX INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY'': This is expensive service but preferred in some parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.fedex.com. The parcel usually needs 2-4 days to arrive to you. FedEx do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY'': This is for shipments only inside Bulgaria, they are express for next day delivery and economy for two days delivery. Note that some remote destinations may take three or more days, reffer to Speedy transit time calculator for this.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR GREECE'': This is extremly fast service if you live in the bigger cities like Thesaloniki or Athens etc, Speedy usually deliver the parcel to Thessaloniki next day we ship then it's distributed by local Greece courier or post for the remote destinations and islands. There is phone numbers in Greece 0030 2321098003, 2321035735 which you can call and ask info about your parcel as the Speedy tracking works just to Thessaloniki depot :).<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR ROMANIA'': This is extremly fast service if you live in Bucuresti they usually deliver next day we ship, from Bucuresti the parcels are distributed from local courier so in 1 to 3 days the parcel will reach any Romanian destination.<br />
<br />
''UPS EXPRESS SAVER'': Decent service but take parcels only by 12.00 this means that all orders received after 10.00 with UPS shipment will just stay in UPS office until next day, this is why UPS EXPRESS SAVER shipments may arrive next day or max in 2-3 days in Europe and few days more for Rest of the World.<br />
By default this service is not insured, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. UPS do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''UPS STANDARD'': This is road service like DPD but is with better price for small packages 1-3 KG for some destinations. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. The parcel usually needs 1 week to arrive to you.<br />
<br />
''PLEASE NOTE'': all transit times above are just based on past experience the courier companies from time to time may deliver for more than the quoted above time. We will not refund your shipping charges if any of the above transport companies fail to meet above quoted delivery times.<br />

<br />
Please consult with your local import customs authorities about the import duties and taxes you have to pay before ordering.<br />
<br />
Note that as written above the courier shipment returns may be several times higher than the special price we have for shipment from Bulgaria, so in some cases the shipping back charge may be higher than the order content in such situation if the customer refuse to accept the parcel and pay the import duties the parcel we will order the courier to distroy the shipment at destination and not deliver back and no refund will be made to the customer.<br />
<br />

<br />
Returns of incorrect ordered items are allowed subject to a 10% restocking fee. What is unaffected? If you hooked it to power, you affected it. To be clear, this includes items that have been soldered to, or have had their firmware changed. Because of the nature of the products we deal with (prototyping electronic tools) we cannot allow returns of items that have been programmed, powered up, or otherwise changed post shipment from our warehouse.<br />
<br />
All returned merchandise must be in its original mint and clean condition. Returns on damaged, scratched, programmed, burnt, or otherwise 'played with' merchandise will not be accepted.<br />

<br />
== Long Term Availability ==<br />
<br />
We produce all our boards as long as there is reasonable demand for them and we can source the major components.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the number of sold boards per year go below reasonable manufacturing levels, in this case we mark this board as obsolete once it goes out of stock and we have no stock of blank PCBs for it.<br />
<br />
Note that obsolete boards could be ordered, in such case contact us and ask for quotation, we will respond with the minimum order quantity to manufacture this board. It usually is about 100 pcs for most of boards.<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:ROHS-REACH-2021.png]]<br />
<br />
== Sponsorship ==<br />
<br />
OLIMEX tries to support and encourage open source movement and projects, the implementation of these goals though is not easy. <br />
<br />
We ran "Free boards for open source initiative" back in 2011 and for nine months we gave away more than 30 different boards and programmers to people who submitted projects to us, promising that they will complete this or that open source project, needless to say 19 months later none of them is complete, the reasons - no time to complete this yet ;)<br />
<br />
So obviously give me free board I promise will do this or that do not attract serious people but these who just want to grab free stuff.<br />
<br />
Later on we decided to do something else - developers who buy our boards and then do open source project with them to receive discount for their next purchase, this kinda working better than the first initiative, but is so long in time that many developers forget to ask for their discount.<br />
<br />
So what we decided to do from now on is to send some of our newly developed boards to people who we see to be active [https://www.olimex.com/forum/ on our forum] , to contribute and help others there when they have questions, also the active developers around OLinuXino project always can count on us to receive free boards of all new OLinuXino boards we make. These are people who help with the Linux Kernel, drivers, Linux distributions etc.<br />
<br />
Hacker-labs, Hacker-spaces, communities which teach childerns on volunteering basis in Bulgaria and all around the world will always get discount, just contact us and send us your web site and the projects you have been completed and working on, before you make your order so we will assign you special login username and password for ordering with discount.<br />
<br />
== Holidays ==<br />
<br />
Olimex will be closed the following days in 2023. No orders will ship these days, but you can still place an order through the website as usual.<br />
<br />
Summer Break - 7th to 18th of August.<br />
<br />
Christmas & New Year - from 23/12/2023 to 02/01/2024.<br />
<br />
== Communication language ==<br />
<br />
The communication will be done in English for foreign orders or support questions and in Bulgarian or English for orders or support questions from Bulgaria. </br><br />
Support related questions sent in other than English or Bulgarian language will be ignored and not answered.<br />

{{Olimex:Privacy_policy}}</div>PeteWhttps://www.olimex.com/wiki/index.php?title=A20-OLinuXino-LIME2&diff=3278A20-OLinuXino-LIME22019-05-28T11:35:36Z<p>PeteW: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:A20-OLinuXino-LIME2.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 looks similar to both [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME]] and [[A10-OLinuXino-LIME]]. The major differences between A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 and A20-OLinuXino-LIME are:<br />
<br />
*LIME2 has gigabit Ethernet (GbE), compared to the standard 100Mb Ethernet of the LIME<br />
*LIME2 design provides double the RAM memory, compared to the LIME design (1024 vs 512)<br />
*Much better routing of DDR3 memory. <br />
*Increased the number of layers from 6 in LIME to 8 in LIME2<br />
*Corrected pinout of the LCD and GPIO connectors (shields designed for the LIME layout are not compatible with the LIME2 layout)<br />
<br />
<br />
The A10 and the A20 processors are pin-to-pin compatible. Because of the processor, software-wise the board is closer to [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME]] than to the [[A10-OLinuXino-LIME]]. This resemblance to other designs definitely might speed the development on the board - a lot of software written for A20-OLinuXino-LIME might work out-of-the-box with A20-OLinuXino-LIME2. Additionally, pinout tables, GPIO maps, etc released for A20-OLinuXino-LIME would apply to A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 <b>(except for the 0.05" step connectors - LCD display and all the GPIOs connectors, which have a different layout compared to both A20-OLinuXino-LIME and A10-OLinuXino-LIME)</b>.<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 features:<br />
*A20 Cortex-A7 dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU and dual-core Mali 400 GPU<br />
*'''1GB DDR3 RAM memory'''<br />
*'''1 gigabit native Ethernet'''<br />
*optional 4GB NAND FLASH memory<br />
*SATA connector with 5V SATA power jack<br />
*HDMI FullHD 1080p<br />
*2x USB Low-Full-High-Speed hosts with power control and current limiter<br />
*USB-OTG with power control and current limiter<br />
*LiPo Battery connector with battery-charging capabilities<br />
*LCD connector compatible with with 4.3", 7.0", 10.1" LCD modules from Olimex<br />
*160 GPIOs on three GPIO connectors<br />
*MicroSD card connector<br />
*DEBUG-UART connector for console debug with USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F<br />
*status LED<br />
*Battery charge status LED<br />
*Power LED<br />
*2KB EEPROM for MAC address storage and more<br />
*2 BUTTONS with ANDROID functionality + RESET button<br />
*2 mount holes<br />
*5V input power supply, noise immune design<br />
*PCB dimensions: 84 x 60 mm<br />

== Official Images from OLIMEX ==<br />
<br />
In this chapter you would find links to torrents with the official Debian and Android images. The images in this chapter were compiled by Olimex. They are recommended for beginners and first time users since they include full hardware support. If you are experienced Linux professional you might find useful our build instructions also published here.<br />
<br />
The downloaded file xxxx.7z is an archive of xxx.img file. In order to write the image on SD card you have to extract the xxx.7z file. <br />
<br />
*For Windows: use 7zip and then use Win32DiskImager.exe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) to write the image<br />
<br />
*For Linux: use p7zip package. If you don't have 7zip installed first install it <br><br><br />
<br />
#apt-get install p7zip<br />
Copy a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z file in your directory and unzip the archive with <br />
#7za e a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z<br />
where a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z<br />
The output should be a new 4GB file with extension img<br />
Put 4GB SD card in your card reader and type<br />
# ls /dev/sd<br />
Then press two times <TAB> you will see a list of your sd devices like sda sdb sdc note that some of these devices may be your hard disk so make sure you know which one is your sd card before you proceed as you can damage your HDD if you choose the wrong sd-device. You can do this by unplugging your sd card reader and identify which "sd" devices remove from the list.<br />
Once you know which device is your sdcard like sda use this text instead of the sdX name in the references below:<br />
#dd if=a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.img of=/dev/sdX<br />
<br />
The Debian Linux image is 4GB and the file system can be extended to suit a bigger card. Use the following three commands to execute a script that would use all the free space of your card:<br />
<br />
sudo su<br />
./resize_sd.sh /dev/mmcblk0 2<br />
reboot<br />
<br />
=== Linux images ===<br />
<br />
These official Debian images should be downloaded to a microSD card. You need a properly set torrent client to download the official images - they available only as torrent files. You can install the Debian to the NAND or the eMMC of your board (if it comes with one). Information on booting Debian from the NAND might be found in these wiki articles: [[how to install Debian to NAND]]; [[how to install Debian to eMMC]].

----<br />
<br />
Note: the A20-LIME2-DEBIAN-SD card which we have in our web store contains the image suitable for board with no flash or board with NAND memory on a 8GB Class10 fast microSD card. The A20-LIME2-eMMC-DEBIAN-SD contains the image suitable for boards with extra eMMC memory. If you want to use our images, please, use card with speed Class10 or higher. Else the Linux performance would be very slow.<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />

<br />
===Power supply and consumption===<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 requires 5V regulated power supply external source. regulated means that the power supply adapter should provide exactly 5V no matter loaded or unloaded (some cheap wallwart adapters are not regulated and under no load their power supply may be higher than 5V although marked as 5V power supply, please measure with voltmeter if your power supply provide 5V as if you connect more than 5V to LIME it will be damaged!!!)<br />
<br />
The power jack is standard [https://www.olimex.com/wiki/PWRJACK OLIMEX power jack]. <br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME can be powered from three sources:<br />
*+5VDC voltage applied PWR jack <br />
*+3.7V from LiPo re-chargable battery connected to LiPo board connector<br />
*+5V applied to USB-OTG connector<br />
<br />
<br />
Power consumption is as follows:<br />
*LiPo 3.7V power battery: 1.2W<br />
*+5VDC input power: 1.3W<br />
<br />
<br />
Comparison table of power consumption might be found at the following [https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/_resources/OLinuXino-Consumption.pdf link].<br />
<br />
LiPo battery allow backup power supply when main power is interrupted. A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 has power managment IC which charge the battery when main power is present, when power is interrupted the LiPo battery automatically provide backup power supply. Step-up converter prvide 5V for the USB peripherials too. For LiPo batteries we recommend these: <br />

<br />
===GPIO under Linux===<br />
<br />
GPIOs are located in /sys/class/gpio directory. Note that first you have to export GPIOs. For example:<br />
<br />
add gpioPH2<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 20 > /sys/class/gpio/export<br />
<br />
make PH2 output<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo out > //sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/direction<br />
<br />
turn on onboard LED(connected to PH2)<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/value<br />
<br />
turn off onboard LED(connected to PH2)<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/value<br />

== How To? ==<br />
===How to generate boot-able SD-card Debian Linux image for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2? ===<br />
<br />
Build instructions and required files for the latest Debian images: [https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A20 instructions and files at the GitHub page]<br />
<br />
Note that Linux-Sunxi Kernel is a work-in-progress, this means you can try the current stage/sunxi-x.x branch but if something is broken and doesn't work just revert to the git tags we give in the blog and they would work for sure.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/wiki Sunxi u-boot loader] The linux-sunxi git page contains a lot of sources for all Olimex Allwinner boards.<br />
<br />
===How to connect a display and adjust the video output resolution?===<br />
There is a separate article on the subject: [[how to connect display to a Lime board]]<br />
<br><br />
<br />
=== Is it possible to boot Debian from NAND? Do you provide such image?===<br />
<br />
Yes, it is possible. Use the latest Debian Jessie image and write "nandinstall". More information can be found in this wiki article: [[How_to_install_Debian_to_NAND| installing Debian Jessie to the 4GB NAND memory]]<br />
<br />
There are other people who are also successful in booting Debian from the NAND. Make sure to check on the forum. Make sure to check the number of very good and optimized A20-OLinuXino Debian images by Igor Pečovnik. There are also his instructions for NAND installation of Debian: [http://www.armbian.com/download/ link to his web-site]<br />
<br />
===How to detect and enable the Ethernet controller (if it is disabled by default)? ===<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />
<br />
===How to download new Android image to the NAND memory of my A20 board?===<br />
<br />
<br />
Follow these steps to download the image to the NAND memory:<br />
<br />
*1. Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive]).<br />
<br />
*2. Go to firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (the latest official one may also be downloaded above).<br />
<br />
*3. Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board.<br />
<br />
*4. Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply 5V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
*5. Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
*6. You will be asked for drivers for the bootloader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
*7. PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
*8. Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
===How to generate Arch Linux image?===<br />
<br />
Recent forum post by user progmetalbg here: [https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=4261.0| at Olimex forums]<br />
<br />
[http://alarma20.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/howto-build-arch-linux-arm-for-a20-olinuxino-micro/ Older step by step instructions on how to build Arch Linux image for another A20 board]<br />
<br />
===How do I write the official Android image to a micro SD card for my A20 board?===<br />
A: First download one of the official Android images, which might be found in the Android section above.<br />
<br />
Make sure that the download link you visit clearly indicates that the image is suitable for the microSD card since there are images suitable for NAND memory also. The images suitable for the microSD memory and those suitable for NAND card are different. However, the upload method is almost identical – using PhoenixSuit.<br />
<br />
There are two types of Android images for microSD card that we usually provide and each of them has to be downloaded to a microSD card using a different method. The image provided for microSD card is either the native Android image that can be downloaded to the card via a software tool like PhoenixSuit (through the board) or an image taken from an already prepared microSD card that requires to simply write the image (through a microSD card reader). <br />
<br />
'''It is more likely that you have an Android image that requires a simple copy to a card. If that is the case you can follow the exact steps as for Linux (e.g. using "Win32 Disk Imager" or "dd" command).'''<br />
<br />
In order to prepare a microSD card with a native Android you will need a software tool called PhoenixSuit and then:<br />
<br />
• Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive])<br />
<br />
• Go to the firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (note that the <br />
images on Gdrive are compressed and you have to extract them to .img files to be able write <br />
them with PhoenixSuit)<br />
<br />
• Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board. Put an SD card in micro SD <br />
holder. We recommend either a 4GB or a 8GB class 10 card.<br />
<br />
• Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply 5V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
• Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
• You will be asked for drivers for the boot-loader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
• PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose <br />
method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
• Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This <br />
might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
Important: When Android runs for very first time it takes several minutes to initialize all files and buffers please do not cut the power supply during this process! Also when fresh image is installed fast boot may be disabled, which means that when you apply power supply after few seconds Android will go in sleep mode and you have to press POWER button to start it, you can change to fast boot when you power off there is dialog box asking you if you want next boot to be fast boot, you have to check this box before you power off. Also note that you must do touch screen calibration when you run Android for very first time which might require a mouse.<br />
<br />
===I don't have neither serial cable, nor HDMI monitor. I also can't access the local Ethernet network. Can I somehow access the board anyway?===<br />
<br />
The latest official Debian Linux image allows the use the USB_OTG connector for SSH connection without the need of a LAN cable or a serial cable. You can use a mini USB cable connected between your host PC and the on-board mini USB connector. For connection convenience there is a DHCP server running specifically for USB0 interface. The DHCP server should give IP address to the new USB0 interface of your host PC so you can make SSH connection from your PC to the default board IP address of the USB0 interface – 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
You can connect to the board using a mini USB cable and an SSH client (if you use Windows you might use "puTTY", for example) at address 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
For Windows operating system - upon connection, the board should show up in "Windows Device Manager" as "RNDIS Ethernet Gadget". You might be asked to install a driver. The drivers can be found online as "RNDIS driver" (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification). The drivers are provided by Microsoft and they should be available for every Windows distribution - refer to the respective files and articles provided by Microsoft on how to install the required drivers.<br />
<br />
===How to edit board configurations and definitions in the official Debian Linux? ===<br />
<br />
Do you want a custom video resolution output? Do you need a different port definition? Do you need to change the hardware defitions of the board?<br />
<br />
You would need to edit the board's script.bin/script.fex file. How to do it is described in another separate article: [[how to edit board configurations and definitions in the official Debian Linux]].<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:A20-OLinuXino-LIME2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 looks similar to both [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME]] and [[A10-OLinuXino-LIME]]. The major differences between A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 and A20-OLinuXino-LIME are:<br />
<br />
*LIME2 has gigabit Ethernet (GbE), compared to the standard 100Mb Ethernet of the LIME<br />
*LIME2 design provides double the RAM memory, compared to the LIME design (1024 vs 512)<br />
*Much better routing of DDR3 memory. <br />
*Increased the number of layers from 6 in LIME to 8 in LIME2<br />
*Corrected pinout of the LCD and GPIO connectors (shields designed for the LIME layout are not compatible with the LIME2 layout)<br />
<br />
<br />
The A10 and the A20 processors are pin-to-pin compatible. Because of the processor, software-wise the board is closer to [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME]] than to the [[A10-OLinuXino-LIME]]. This resemblance to other designs definitely might speed the development on the board - a lot of software written for A20-OLinuXino-LIME might work out-of-the-box with A20-OLinuXino-LIME2. Additionally, pinout tables, GPIO maps, etc released for A20-OLinuXino-LIME would apply to A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 <b>(except for the 0.05" step connectors - LCD display and all the GPIOs connectors, which have a different layout compared to both A20-OLinuXino-LIME and A10-OLinuXino-LIME)</b>.<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 features:<br />
*A20 Cortex-A7 dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU and dual-core Mali 400 GPU<br />
*'''1GB DDR3 RAM memory'''<br />
*'''1 gigabit native Ethernet'''<br />
*optional 4GB NAND FLASH memory<br />
*SATA connector with 5V SATA power jack<br />
*HDMI FullHD 1080p<br />
*2x USB Low-Full-High-Speed hosts with power control and current limiter<br />
*USB-OTG with power control and current limiter<br />
*LiPo Battery connector with battery-charging capabilities<br />
*LCD connector compatible with with 4.3", 7.0", 10.1" LCD modules from Olimex<br />
*160 GPIOs on three GPIO connectors<br />
*MicroSD card connector<br />
*DEBUG-UART connector for console debug with USB-SERIAL-CABLE-F<br />
*status LED<br />
*Battery charge status LED<br />

== Official Images from OLIMEX ==<br />
<br />
In this chapter you would find links to torrents with the official Debian and Android images. The images in this chapter were compiled by Olimex. They are recommended for beginners and first time users since they include full hardware support. If you are experienced Linux professional you might find useful our build instructions also published here.<br />
<br />
The downloaded file xxxx.7z is an archive of xxx.img file. In order to write the image on SD card you have to extract the xxx.7z file. <br />
<br />
*For Windows: use 7zip and then use Win32DiskImager.exe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) to write the image<br />
<br />
*For Linux: use p7zip package. If you don't have 7zip installed first install it <br><br><br />
<br />
#apt-get install p7zip<br />
Copy a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z file in your directory and unzip the archive with <br />
#7za e a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z<br />
where a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z<br />
The output should be a new 4GB file with extension img<br />
Put 4GB SD card in your card reader and type<br />
# ls /dev/sd<br />
Then press two times <TAB> you will see a list of your sd devices like sda sdb sdc note that some of these devices may be your hard disk so make sure you know which one is your sd card before you proceed as you can damage your HDD if you choose the wrong sd-device. You can do this by unplugging your sd card reader and identify which "sd" devices remove from the list.<br />
Once you know which device is your sdcard like sda use this text instead of the sdX name in the references below:<br />
#dd if=a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.img of=/dev/sdX<br />
<br />
The Debian Linux image is 4GB and the file system can be extended to suit a bigger card. Use the following three commands to execute a script that would use all the free space of your card:<br />
<br />
sudo su<br />
./resize_sd.sh /dev/mmcblk0 2<br />
reboot<br />
<br />
=== Linux images ===<br />
<br />
These official Debian images should be downloaded to a microSD card. You need a properly set torrent client to download the official images - they available only as torrent files. You can install the Debian to the NAND or the eMMC of your board (if it comes with one). Information on booting Debian from the NAND might be found in these wiki articles: [[how to install Debian to NAND]]; [[how to install Debian to eMMC]]. Download locations for the official images might be found below:<br />
<br />

<br />
You can find some older releases and older build instructions (older image revisions might be used as a reference, for testing purposes, or if you own old hardware revision of the board) at the following article: [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-older-releases|older releases and older build instructions]]<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Note: the A20-LIME2-DEBIAN-SD card which we have in our web store contains the image suitable for board with no flash or board with NAND memory on a 8GB Class10 fast microSD card. The A20-LIME2-eMMC-DEBIAN-SD contains the image suitable for boards with extra eMMC memory. If you want to use our images, please, use card with speed Class10 or higher. Else the Linux performance would be very slow.<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />

<br />
===Power supply and consumption===<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 requires 5V regulated power supply external source. regulated means that the power supply adapter should provide exactly 5V no matter loaded or unloaded (some cheap wallwart adapters are not regulated and under no load their power supply may be higher than 5V although marked as 5V power supply, please measure with voltmeter if your power supply provide 5V as if you connect more than 5V to LIME it will be damaged!!!)<br />
<br />
The power jack is standard [https://www.olimex.com/wiki/PWRJACK OLIMEX power jack]. <br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME can be powered from three sources:<br />
*+5VDC voltage applied PWR jack <br />
*+3.7V from LiPo re-chargable battery connected to LiPo board connector<br />
*+5V applied to USB-OTG connector<br />
<br />
<br />
Power consumption is as follows:<br />
*LiPo 3.7V power battery: 1.2W<br />
*+5VDC input power: 1.3W<br />
<br />
<br />
Comparison table of power consumption might be found at the following [https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/_resources/OLinuXino-Consumption.pdf link].<br />
<br />
LiPo battery allow backup power supply when main power is interrupted. A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 has power managment IC which charge the battery when main power is present, when power is interrupted the LiPo battery automatically provide backup power supply. Step-up converter prvide 5V for the USB peripherials too. For LiPo batteries we recommend these: <br />

<br />
===GPIO under Linux===<br />
<br />
GPIOs are located in /sys/class/gpio directory. Note that first you have to export GPIOs. For example:<br />
<br />
add gpioPH2<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 20 > /sys/class/gpio/export<br />
<br />
make PH2 output<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo out > //sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/direction<br />
<br />
turn on onboard LED(connected to PH2)<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/value<br />
<br />
turn off onboard LED(connected to PH2)<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/value<br />

== How To? ==<br />
===How to generate boot-able SD-card Debian Linux image for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2? ===<br />
<br />
Build instructions and required files for the latest Debian images: [https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A20 instructions and files at the GitHub page]<br />
<br />
Note that Linux-Sunxi Kernel is a work-in-progress, this means you can try the current stage/sunxi-x.x branch but if something is broken and doesn't work just revert to the git tags we give in the blog and they would work for sure.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/wiki Sunxi u-boot loader] The linux-sunxi git page contains a lot of sources for all Olimex Allwinner boards.<br />
<br />
===How to connect a display and adjust the video output resolution?===<br />
There is a separate article on the subject: [[how to connect display to a Lime board]]<br />
<br><br />
<br />
=== Is it possible to boot Debian from NAND? Do you provide such image?===<br />
<br />
Yes, it is possible. Use the latest Debian Jessie image and write "nandinstall". More information can be found in this wiki article: [[How_to_install_Debian_to_NAND| installing Debian Jessie to the 4GB NAND memory]]<br />
<br />
There are other people who are also successful in booting Debian from the NAND. Make sure to check on the forum. Make sure to check the number of very good and optimized A20-OLinuXino Debian images by Igor Pečovnik. There are also his instructions for NAND installation of Debian: [http://www.armbian.com/download/ link to his web-site]<br />
<br />
===How to detect and enable the Ethernet controller (if it is disabled by default)? ===<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />
<br />
===How to download new Android image to the NAND memory of my A20 board?===<br />
<br />
<br />
Follow these steps to download the image to the NAND memory:<br />
<br />
*1. Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive]).<br />
<br />
*2. Go to firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (the latest official one may also be downloaded above).<br />
<br />
*3. Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board.<br />
<br />
*4. Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply 5V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
*5. Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
*6. You will be asked for drivers for the bootloader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
*7. PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
*8. Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
===How to generate Arch Linux image?===<br />
<br />
Recent forum post by user progmetalbg here: [https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=4261.0| at Olimex forums]<br />
<br />
[http://alarma20.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/howto-build-arch-linux-arm-for-a20-olinuxino-micro/ Older step by step instructions on how to build Arch Linux image for another A20 board]<br />
<br />
===How do I write the official Android image to a micro SD card for my A20 board?===<br />
A: First download one of the official Android images, which might be found in the Android section above.<br />
<br />
Make sure that the download link you visit clearly indicates that the image is suitable for the microSD card since there are images suitable for NAND memory also. The images suitable for the microSD memory and those suitable for NAND card are different. However, the upload method is almost identical – using PhoenixSuit.<br />
<br />
There are two types of Android images for microSD card that we usually provide and each of them has to be downloaded to a microSD card using a different method. The image provided for microSD card is either the native Android image that can be downloaded to the card via a software tool like PhoenixSuit (through the board) or an image taken from an already prepared microSD card that requires to simply write the image (through a microSD card reader). <br />
<br />
'''It is more likely that you have an Android image that requires a simple copy to a card. If that is the case you can follow the exact steps as for Linux (e.g. using "Win32 Disk Imager" or "dd" command).'''<br />
<br />
In order to prepare a microSD card with a native Android you will need a software tool called PhoenixSuit and then:<br />
<br />
• Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive])<br />
<br />
• Go to the firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (note that the <br />
images on Gdrive are compressed and you have to extract them to .img files to be able write <br />
them with PhoenixSuit)<br />
<br />
• Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board. Put an SD card in micro SD <br />
holder. We recommend either a 4GB or a 8GB class 10 card.<br />
<br />
• Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply 5V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
• Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
• You will be asked for drivers for the boot-loader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
• PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose <br />
method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
• Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This <br />
might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
Important: When Android runs for very first time it takes several minutes to initialize all files and buffers please do not cut the power supply during this process! Also when fresh image is installed fast boot may be disabled, which means that when you apply power supply after few seconds Android will go in sleep mode and you have to press POWER button to start it, you can change to fast boot when you power off there is dialog box asking you if you want next boot to be fast boot, you have to check this box before you power off. Also note that you must do touch screen calibration when you run Android for very first time which might require a mouse.<br />
<br />
===I don't have neither serial cable, nor HDMI monitor. I also can't access the local Ethernet network. Can I somehow access the board anyway?===<br />
<br />
The latest official Debian Linux image allows the use the USB_OTG connector for SSH connection without the need of a LAN cable or a serial cable. You can use a mini USB cable connected between your host PC and the on-board mini USB connector. For connection convenience there is a DHCP server running specifically for USB0 interface. The DHCP server should give IP address to the new USB0 interface of your host PC so you can make SSH connection from your PC to the default board IP address of the USB0 interface – 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
You can connect to the board using a mini USB cable and an SSH client (if you use Windows you might use "puTTY", for example) at address 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
For Windows operating system - upon connection, the board should show up in "Windows Device Manager" as "RNDIS Ethernet Gadget". You might be asked to install a driver. The drivers can be found online as "RNDIS driver" (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification). The drivers are provided by Microsoft and they should be available for every Windows distribution - refer to the respective files and articles provided by Microsoft on how to install the required drivers.<br />
<br />
===How to edit board configurations and definitions in the official Debian Linux? ===<br />
<br />
Do you want a custom video resolution output? Do you need a different port definition? Do you need to change the hardware defitions of the board?<br />
<br />
You would need to edit the board's script.bin/script.fex file. How to do it is described in another separate article: [[how to edit board configurations and definitions in the official Debian Linux]].<br />

<br />
== Orders ==<br />
<br />
All orders must be placed through our website https://www.olimex.com <br />
<br />
Please note: OLIMEX Ltd does not consider the receipt of a Purchase Order document as valid submission of an order if this order is not placed through our web site this order do not exist for us. You can't place an order with us through faxes, emails, phone calls, so please don't do this.<br />
<br />
There are no minimum orders.<br />
<br />
Please Note: It may not be possible to cancel your order once it has been placed. To avoid any trouble, please make sure you want everything in your cart before clicking 'Submit Order'.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Prices ==<br />
<br />
All prices on our web are in EURO currency. For customers from Bulgaria (when select Bulgaria as country in CHECKOUT page), prices are shown in Bulgarian Leva and payment is effected in BGN.<br />
<br />
All price discounts are generated automatically at the time when you enter your order depend on the quantity you enter, we do not offer any other discounts than these on our web.<br />
<br />
== European VAT Registration and Exemption ==<br />
<br />
If you're a Non-Bulgarian VAT registered business based within the EU economic area you can avoid paying VAT on your purchase with us by taking the following steps:<br />
<br />
1. Enter your VALID VAT-ID when you place your order (the VAT-ID field will appear only when you select country within EU economic area). <br />
<br />
2. DO NOT place your order until you see the VAT at checkout go to zero.<br />
<br />
Requests to refund VAT on purchases made where there is a valid VAT number, but where the VAT-ID was not entered at the time of the purchase and the order is paid and shipped with invoice including VAT, will incur a EUR 30 admin fee to action the refund.<br />
<br />
Please be very careful when you enter your VAT-ID, we recommend you to check if it is valid VAT-ID first at [http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do?selectedLanguage=EN VIAS WEB site] as when you enter your order we do not do real time check due to the permanent problems with VIES servers they quite often timeout or are down. We check these VAT-IDs before shipping though, so entering incorrect VAT-ID will lead to significant delay in your order processing and it may be hold for several days untill we collect the not paid VAT 20%, so our advice is to enter only VAT-IDs which first you check on above web site and it confirms them. Some countries like Spain and Italy have "internal" VAT-IDs which are not updated to VIES VAT-ID server, if you have such VAT-ID please do not enter it as it is not valid VAT-ID for EU VAT free purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Payments ==<br />
<br />
All orders with us have to be pre-paid. We do not offer any other terms.<br />
<br />
''CREDIT CARD'': We accept Visa, Mastercard, Visa electron and Maestro cards. Please contact us in case you want to pay with a JCB card. Some card operators like the Italian CARTASI do not allow payments to Bulgaria. The card payments are processed online by United Bulgarian Bank card processing. Restrictions for this payment option for some countries exist, if when you select your country this payment option is not listed this means your country is excluded for security reasons. For the same reason the payments by cards are limited up to EUR 2000. <br />
<br />
To protect you from fraud payments with your Visa or MasterCard, we use the best practices recommended by international card organizations:<br />
*SSL protocol is used to encrypt the connection between our server and the servicing bank and your card info is transmitted secure.<br />
*The authenticity of your card is verified by introducing security code (CVV2)<br />
*In addition, to identify you as the cardholder, the payment server of our servicing bank supports the authentication schemes of international card organizations - Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode, in case you have registered to use them.<br />
<br />
<br />
''PAYPAL'': PayPal is fast, easy and efficient and allows people who have PayPal accounts to transfer money easily to us. Opening a new account is free. You can pay with your card via paypal also. There is limit of EUR 2000 for payment by PayPal. If your payment is less EUR 100 there is PayPal service charge of 5% which will be add to your order value. Note that your payment should be sent in EURO currency, payments sent in other currency than EURO will be refunded back and the order canceled.<br />
Also please note that the address you fill in your order and the paypal address should match. If paypal and order addresses do not match your order will be put on hold and not processed.<br />
<br />
''BULGARIAN BANK TRANSFER'' : available only for orders from Bulgaria, the transfer should be made in Bulgarian Leva, your order BGN equivalent will be written in the confirmation document you receive for your order. Please use your order number as a reference for your payment, or we may not be able to identify your funds and process your order.<br />
<br />
''FOREIGN BANK TRANSFER'' : You may transfer payment from your bank outside of the Bulgaria to our bank. All charges, made by your bank and middle banks must be paid by you. Please chose the 'Bank T/T' option at checkout, and you will be sent an e-mail with IBAN and SWIFT account details. Please use your order number as a reference for your payment, or we may not be able to identify your funds and process your order. Orders where payment has not been received 15 working days after the order was placed will be cancelled. Please note that bank transfers usually take few business days to move the money from one account to other. We will not ship your order until your payment is verified by our bank. A record of the transaction from your bank is not sufficient to release an order. Due to the high cost of accepting bank trasnfers all orders paid by bank transfer are subject to bank handling fee if your order is below EUR 1000.00; The bank handling fee is EUR 30 if the payment is sent form country outside Europe Union. Please note that all bank transfer fees should be covered by the sender (Detail of charges: OUR). If the payments are sent with option SHA we will not receive the order amount and will not be able to process your order. Payments from European Union countries which use SEPA transfers are not subject to bank handling fees.<br />
<br />
''UPT'' : this is service is for sending cash and available for our Turkish customers who do not have paypal option. Contact us for more information.<br />
<br />
''CASH ON DELIVERY'': This option is available for orders from Bulgaria only. It can be used from individuals. Companies must use different payment method.<br />
<br />
<br />
''REFUNDS'': We will issue refunds via store credit, credit card or PayPal. In case we need to return you money for paid to us with a card contracted or delivered / performed goods or services, we will refund you by a credit transaction on the card used for the original purchase.<br />
<br />
== Shipping ==<br />
<br />
We will ship your order in 3 working days after the payment receipt. All orders are shipped on first come first serve basis. For us all orders are equal urgent and we do not prioritize one order for behalf of others.<br />
<br />
Usually 90% of the orders which are paid before 10.00 AM Bulgarian local time are shipped the same day and these with payment received after 10.00 AM are shipped the day after we receive the payment, but we say we ship in 3 working days as sometimes there are many orders to process and this require additional time, so please always consider that your order will be shipped in 3 working days, if we ship faster we are sure you will not complain :)<br />
<br />
==Broken Items during shipment==<br />
<br />
Note: claims for broken items can be made only if your shipment was insured. <br />
When you have shipment with insurance, please always check the shipment content in the presence of the courier when receive it.<br />
If there are broken items make official claim. If you do not make claim and you find items broken later when the courier is not present the courier company may decide that you broke the item after the delivery and not accept the claim.<br />
We will need this claim reference to deal with insurer.<br />
<br />
== Incorrect addresses ==<br />
<br />
Orders which have incorrectly filled addresses usually got non delivered and return back to us. In case of post shipments there are no additional fees for the returns, when parcel returns we just refund the cost of the boards without the shipping charge.<br />
<br />
The courier companies are more flexible but if for some reason the customer didn't provide correct phone or address and is unreacahble there are two options - the parcel to be destroyed or to be returned back. Note that shipping back charges are ALWAYS several times higher than the special shipping charge we have from the couriers and it may be up to 5 times more expensive.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Shipping options ==<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: Olimex cannot be held responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen packages for non insured parcels.'''<br />
<br />
If you want to add insurance please check the insurance checkbox on the checkout page.<br />
<br />
Note that all times quoted below are for WORKING days and exclude weekend days, also if your country is outside EU there may be additional delays caused by import export procedures and customs clearances.<br />
<br />
''AIRMAIL'': This is not-insured, non-trackable POST service. We allow only orders under EUR 100 to be shipped with this service. Delivery to Europe usually takes 1-2 weeks, outside Europe 2-5 weeks. Once we ship by POST there is no way to track or trace where is your shipment or if it stolen, missing etc. Be careful and use this shipping option on your own risk. If you choose this shipping option, we can't do anything to help you with your parcel once we ship. Orders sent by post will not have a proof of postage.<br />
Why I do not have cheap AIRMAIL shipping for my country? Airmail is available for every country, but it's slow service and some people do not want to wait, but just dispute their payments after 1-2 weeks from the shipping, then they receive their parcel for free and forget that they disputed the payment, when the number of such people from given country rises too much, we just disable this shipping option for this country.<br />
<br />
''DPD CLASSIC'': This is Road service very suitable for shipments with higher weight, usually arrives in any European destination for 1 week. All parcels shipped by DPD have automatic Limited insurance for up to 520 EUR per parcel, with online tracking at www.speedy.bg DPD do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''DHL'': This is probably the best option to use as DHL accept parcels up to 17.00 oclock, this means that if you are from EU and place your order even hour before we close there is pretty good chance your parcel to be on your desktop next day in the morning. Good price and very fast service. Our own monitoring show that all parcels we ship with DHL usually are delivered in average 1.5 days worldwide (do not include customs delays), this means large portion of the shipments are delivered next day. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.dhl.com. DHL do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''TNT EXPRESS'': This is good price and fast service but TNT accepts parcels until 15.00 o'clock so if your order arrives later the shipment will be next day. For most of the Europe destinations and parcels arrive next day or in 2-3 days, but not as fast as DHL for other parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.tnt.com. TNT do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''FEDEX INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY'': This is expensive service but preferred in some parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.fedex.com. The parcel usually needs 2-4 days to arrive to you. FedEx do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY'': This is for shipments only inside Bulgaria, they are express for next day delivery and economy for two days delivery. Note that some remote destinations may take three or more days, reffer to Speedy transit time calculator for this.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR GREECE'': This is extremly fast service if you live in the bigger cities like Thesaloniki or Athens etc, Speedy usually deliver the parcel to Thessaloniki next day we ship then it's distributed by local Greece courier or post for the remote destinations and islands. There is phone numbers in Greece 0030 2321098003, 2321035735 which you can call and ask info about your parcel as the Speedy tracking works just to Thessaloniki depot :).<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR ROMANIA'': This is extremly fast service if you live in Bucuresti they usually deliver next day we ship, from Bucuresti the parcels are distributed from local courier so in 1 to 3 days the parcel will reach any Romanian destination.<br />
<br />
''UPS EXPRESS SAVER'': Decent service but take parcels only by 12.00 this means that all orders received after 10.00 with UPS shipment will just stay in UPS office until next day, this is why UPS EXPRESS SAVER shipments may arrive next day or max in 2-3 days in Europe and few days more for Rest of the World.<br />
By default this service is not insured, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. UPS do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''UPS STANDARD'': This is road service like DPD but is with better price for small packages 1-3 KG for some destinations. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. The parcel usually needs 1 week to arrive to you.<br />
<br />
''PLEASE NOTE'': all transit times above are just based on past experience the courier companies from time to time may deliver for more than the quoted above time. We will not refund your shipping charges if any of the above transport companies fail to meet above quoted delivery times.<br />
<br />
== Imports and duties ==<br />
<br />
Any duties and taxes for international shipments are the responsibility of the customer. <br />
<br />
Olimex Ltd is not responsible for any extra charges once the original package has been shipped. <br />
<br />
If the customer refuses to pay these extra import charges, the return shipping and any additional fees will be taken out of the cost of the order, with any remaining funds being refunded to the customer. <br />
<br />
Please consult with your local import customs authorities about the import duties and taxes you have to pay before ordering.<br />
<br />
Note that as written above the courier shipment returns may be several times higher than the special price we have for shipment from Bulgaria, so in some cases the shipping back charge may be higher than the order content in such situation if the customer refuse to accept the parcel and pay the import duties the parcel we will order the courier to distroy the shipment at destination and not deliver back and no refund will be made to the customer.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Warranty ==<br />
<br />
All goods we sell are new, factory fresh and tested before enter our stock. Only very rarely does an item not function at first use. If this happens, we will do our very best to replace it as long as the below conditions for return are met. <br><br />
Please check your order as soon as you receive it. Any goods to be replaced must be returned within 7 days.<br />
<br />
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and faulty components, please note that warranty do not cover problems due to improper use, over voltage abuse, ESD shock, improper handling etc.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
<br />
All goods are checked before they are sent out. In the unlikely event that goods are faulty, they must be returned, to OLIMEX at the address listed on your order invoice.<br />
<br />
OLIMEX will not accept goods that have clearly been used more than the amount needed to evaluate their functionality. <br />
<br />
If the goods are found to be in working condition, and the lack of functionality is a result of lack of knowledge on the customers part, no refund will be made, but the goods will be returned to the user at their expense.<br />
<br />
All returns must be authorized by an RMA Number. Email support@olimex.com for authorization number before shipping back any merchandise. Please include your name, phone number and order number in your email request.<br />
<br />
Returns for any unaffected development board, programmer, tools, and cables permitted within 7 days from the date of receipt of merchandise. After such time, all sales are considered final. <br />
<br />
Returns of incorrect ordered items are allowed subject to a 10% restocking fee. What is unaffected? If you hooked it to power, you affected it. To be clear, this includes items that have been soldered to, or have had their firmware changed. Because of the nature of the products we deal with (prototyping electronic tools) we cannot allow returns of items that have been programmed, powered up, or otherwise changed post shipment from our warehouse.<br />
<br />
All returned merchandise must be in its original mint and clean condition. Returns on damaged, scratched, programmed, burnt, or otherwise 'played with' merchandise will not be accepted.<br />
<br />
All returns must include all the factory accessories which come with the item. This includes any In-Circuit-Serial-Programming cables, anti-static packing, boxes, etc. <br />
<br />
With your return, enclose your PO#. Also include a brief letter of explanation of why the merchandise is being returned and state your request for either a refund or an exchange. Include the authorization number on this letter, and on the outside of the shipping box.<br />
<br />
Please note : It is your responsiblity to ensure that returned goods reach us. Please use a reliable form of shipping. If we do not receive your package we will not be held liable.<br />
<br />
Shipping and handling charges are not refundable. We are not responsible for any shipping charges of merchandise being returned to us or returning working items to you.<br />
<br />
Boards which are originally shipped by us in ESD antistatic packing, returned back to us '''not inside ESD protective antistatic packing''' will be considered with void warranty. We will not repair nor replace such boards.<br />
<br />
== Long Term Availability ==<br />
<br />
We produce all our boards as long as there is certain demand for them and we can source the major components.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the number of sold boards per year go below reasonable manufacturing levels, in this case we mark this board as obsolete once it goes out of stock and we have no stock of blank PCBs for it.<br />
<br />
Note that obsolete boards could be ordered, in such case contact us and ask for quotation, we will respond with the minimum order quantity to manufacture this board. It usually is about 100 pcs for most of boards.<br />
<br />
== Sponsorship ==<br />
<br />
OLIMEX tries to support and encourage open source movement and projects, the implementation of these goals though is not easy. <br />
<br />
We ran "Free boards for open source initiative" back in 2011 and for nine months we gave away more than 30 different boards and programmers to people who submitted projects to us, promising that they will complete this or that open source project, needless to say 19 months later none of them is complete, the reasons - no time to complete this yet ;)<br />
<br />
So obviously give me free board I promise will do this or that do not attract serious people but these who just want to grab free stuff.<br />
<br />
Later on we decided to do something else - developers who buy our boards and then do open source project with them to receive discount for their next purchase, this kinda working better than the first initiative, but is so long in time that many developers forget to ask for their discount.<br />
<br />
So what we decided to do from now on is to send some of our newly developed boards to people who we see to be active [https://www.olimex.com/forum/ on our forum] , to contribute and help others there when they have questions, also the active developers around OLinuXino project always can count on us to receive free boards of all new OLinuXino boards we make. These are people who help with the Linux Kernel, drivers, Linux distributions etc.<br />
<br />
Hacker-labs, Hacker-spaces, communities which teach childerns on volunteering basis in Bulgaria and all around the world will always get discount, just contact us and send us your web site and the projects you have been completed and working on, before you make your order so we will assign you special login username and password for ordering with discount.<br />
<br />

<br />
All prices on our web are in EURO currency. For customers from Bulgaria (when select Bulgaria as country in CHECKOUT page), prices are shown in Bulgarian Leva and payment is effected in BGN.<br />
<br />
All price discounts are generated automatically at the time when you enter your order depend on the quantity you enter, we do not offer any other discounts than these on our web.<br />
<br />
== European VAT Registration and Exemption ==<br />
<br />
If you're a Non-Bulgarian VAT registered business based within the EU economic area you can avoid paying VAT on your purchase with us by taking the following steps:<br />
<br />
1. Enter your VALID VAT-ID when you place your order (the VAT-ID field will appear only when you select country within EU economic area). <br />
<br />
2. DO NOT place your order until you see the VAT at checkout go to zero.<br />
<br />
Requests to refund VAT on purchases made where there is a valid VAT number, but where the VAT-ID was not entered at the time of the purchase and the order is paid and shipped with invoice including VAT, will incur a EUR 30 admin fee to action the refund.<br />
<br />
Please be very careful when you enter your VAT-ID, we recommend you to check if it is valid VAT-ID first at [http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do?selectedLanguage=EN VIAS WEB site] as when you enter your order we do not do real time check due to the permanent problems with VIES servers they quite often timeout or are down. We check these VAT-IDs before shipping though, so entering incorrect VAT-ID will lead to significant delay in your order processing and it may be hold for several days untill we collect the not paid VAT 20%, so our advice is to enter only VAT-IDs which first you check on above web site and it confirms them. Some countries like Spain and Italy have "internal" VAT-IDs which are not updated to VIES VAT-ID server, if you have such VAT-ID please do not enter it as it is not valid VAT-ID for EU VAT free purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Payments ==<br />
<br />
All orders with us have to be pre-paid. We do not offer any other terms.<br />
<br />
''CREDIT CARD'': We accept Visa, Mastercard, Visa electron and Maestro cards. Please contact us in case you want to pay with a JCB card. Some card operators like the Italian CARTASI do not allow payments to Bulgaria. The card payments are processed online by United Bulgarian Bank card processing. Restrictions for this payment option for some countries exist, if when you select your country this payment option is not listed this means your country is excluded for security reasons. For the same reason the payments by cards are limited up to EUR 2000. <br />
<br />
To protect you from fraud payments with your Visa or MasterCard, we use the best practices recommended by international card organizations:<br />
*SSL protocol is used to encrypt the connection between our server and the servicing bank and your card info is transmitted secure.<br />
*The authenticity of your card is verified by introducing security code (CVV2)<br />
*In addition, to identify you as the cardholder, the payment server of our servicing bank supports the authentication schemes of international card organizations - Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode, in case you have registered to use them.<br />
<br />
<br />

Due to the high cost of accepting bank trasnfers all orders paid by bank transfer are subject to bank handling fee if your order is below EUR 1000.00; The bank handling fee is EUR 30 if the payment is sent form country outside Europe Union. Please note that all bank transfer fees should be covered by the sender (Detail of charges: OUR). If the payments are sent with option SHA we will not receive the order amount and will not be able to process your order. Payments from European Union countries which use SEPA transfers are not subject to bank handling fees.<br />
<br />

<br />
''CASH ON DELIVERY'': This option is available for orders from Bulgaria only. It can be used from individuals. Companies must use different payment method.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== Shipping ==<br />
<br />
We will ship your order in 3 working days after the payment receipt. All orders are shipped on first come first serve basis. For us all orders are equal urgent and we do not prioritize one order for behalf of others.<br />
<br />
Usually 90% of the orders which are paid before 10.00 AM Bulgarian local time are shipped the same day and these with payment received after 10.00 AM are shipped the day after we receive the payment, but we say we ship in 3 working days as sometimes there are many orders to process and this require additional time, so please always consider that your order will be shipped in 3 working days, if we ship faster we are sure you will not complain :)<br />
<br />
==Broken Items during shipment==<br />
<br />
Note: claims for broken items can be made only if your shipment was insured. <br />
When you have shipment with insurance, please always check the shipment content in the presence of the courier when receive it.<br />
If there are broken items make official claim. If you do not make claim and you find items broken later when the courier is not present the courier company may decide that you broke the item after the delivery and not accept the claim.<br />
We will need this claim reference to deal with insurer.<br />
<br />
== Incorrect addresses ==<br />
<br />
Orders which have incorrectly filled addresses usually got non delivered and return back to us. In case of post shipments there are no additional fees for the returns, when parcel returns we just refund the cost of the boards without the shipping charge.<br />
<br />
The courier companies are more flexible but if for some reason the customer didn't provide correct phone or address and is unreacahble there are two options - the parcel to be destroyed or to be returned back. Note that shipping back charges are ALWAYS several times higher than the special shipping charge we have from the couriers and it may be up to 5 times more expensive.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Shipping options ==<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: Olimex cannot be held responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen packages for non insured parcels.'''<br />
<br />
If you want to add insurance please check the insurance checkbox on the checkout page.<br />
<br />
Note that all times quoted below are for WORKING days and exclude weekend days, also if your country is outside EU there may be additional delays caused by import export procedures and customs clearances.<br />
<br />
''AIRMAIL'': This is not-insured, non-trackable POST service. We allow only orders under EUR 100 to be shipped with this service. Delivery to Europe usually takes 1-2 weeks, outside Europe 2-5 weeks. Once we ship by POST there is no way to track or trace where is your shipment or if it stolen, missing etc. Be careful and use this shipping option on your own risk. If you choose this shipping option, we can't do anything to help you with your parcel once we ship. Orders sent by post will not have a proof of postage.<br />
Why I do not have cheap AIRMAIL shipping for my country? Airmail is available for every country, but it's slow service and some people do not want to wait, but just dispute their payments after 1-2 weeks from the shipping, then they receive their parcel for free and forget that they disputed the payment, when the number of such people from given country rises too much, we just disable this shipping option for this country.<br />
<br />
''DPD CLASSIC'': This is Road service very suitable for shipments with higher weight, usually arrives in any European destination for 1 week. All parcels shipped by DPD have automatic Limited insurance for up to 520 EUR per parcel, with online tracking at www.speedy.bg DPD do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''DHL'': This is probably the best option to use as DHL accept parcels up to 17.00 oclock, this means that if you are from EU and place your order even hour before we close there is pretty good chance your parcel to be on your desktop next day in the morning. Good price and very fast service. Our own monitoring show that all parcels we ship with DHL usually are delivered in average 1.5 days worldwide (do not include customs delays), this means large portion of the shipments are delivered next day. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.dhl.com. DHL do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''TNT EXPRESS'': This is good price and fast service but TNT accepts parcels until 15.00 o'clock so if your order arrives later the shipment will be next day. For most of the Europe destinations and parcels arrive next day or in 2-3 days, but not as fast as DHL for other parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.tnt.com. TNT do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''FEDEX INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY'': This is expensive service but preferred in some parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.fedex.com. The parcel usually needs 2-4 days to arrive to you. FedEx do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY'': This is for shipments only inside Bulgaria, they are express for next day delivery and economy for two days delivery. Note that some remote destinations may take three or more days, reffer to Speedy transit time calculator for this.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR GREECE'': This is extremly fast service if you live in the bigger cities like Thesaloniki or Athens etc, Speedy usually deliver the parcel to Thessaloniki next day we ship then it's distributed by local Greece courier or post for the remote destinations and islands. There is phone numbers in Greece 0030 2321098003, 2321035735 which you can call and ask info about your parcel as the Speedy tracking works just to Thessaloniki depot :).<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR ROMANIA'': This is extremly fast service if you live in Bucuresti they usually deliver next day we ship, from Bucuresti the parcels are distributed from local courier so in 1 to 3 days the parcel will reach any Romanian destination.<br />
<br />
''UPS EXPRESS SAVER'': Decent service but take parcels only by 12.00 this means that all orders received after 10.00 with UPS shipment will just stay in UPS office until next day, this is why UPS EXPRESS SAVER shipments may arrive next day or max in 2-3 days in Europe and few days more for Rest of the World.<br />
By default this service is not insured, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. UPS do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''UPS STANDARD'': This is road service like DPD but is with better price for small packages 1-3 KG for some destinations. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. The parcel usually needs 1 week to arrive to you.<br />
<br />
''PLEASE NOTE'': all transit times above are just based on past experience the courier companies from time to time may deliver for more than the quoted above time. We will not refund your shipping charges if any of the above transport companies fail to meet above quoted delivery times.<br />
<br />
== Imports and duties ==<br />
<br />
Any duties and taxes for international shipments are the responsibility of the customer. <br />
<br />
Olimex Ltd is not responsible for any extra charges once the original package has been shipped. <br />
<br />
If the customer refuses to pay these extra import charges, the return shipping and any additional fees will be taken out of the cost of the order, with any remaining funds being refunded to the customer. <br />
<br />
Please consult with your local import customs authorities about the import duties and taxes you have to pay before ordering.<br />
<br />
Note that as written above the courier shipment returns may be several times higher than the special price we have for shipment from Bulgaria, so in some cases the shipping back charge may be higher than the order content in such situation if the customer refuse to accept the parcel and pay the import duties the parcel we will order the courier to distroy the shipment at destination and not deliver back and no refund will be made to the customer.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Warranty ==<br />
<br />
All goods we sell are new, factory fresh and tested before enter our stock. Only very rarely does an item not function at first use. If this happens, we will do our very best to replace it as long as the below conditions for return are met. <br><br />
Please check your order as soon as you receive it. Any goods to be replaced must be returned within 7 days.<br />

<br />
== Returns ==<br />
<br />
All goods are checked before they are sent out. In the unlikely event that goods are faulty, they must be returned, to OLIMEX at the address listed on your order invoice.<br />
<br />
OLIMEX will not accept goods that have clearly been used more than the amount needed to evaluate their functionality. <br />
<br />
If the goods are found to be in working condition, and the lack of functionality is a result of lack of knowledge on the customers part, no refund will be made, but the goods will be returned to the user at their expense.<br />
<br />
All returns must be authorized by an RMA Number. Email support@olimex.com for authorization number before shipping back any merchandise. Please include your name, phone number and order number in your email request.<br />
<br />
Returns for any unaffected development board, programmer, tools, and cables permitted within 7 days from the date of receipt of merchandise. After such time, all sales are considered final. <br />
<br />
Returns of incorrect ordered items are allowed subject to a 10% restocking fee. What is unaffected? If you hooked it to power, you affected it. To be clear, this includes items that have been soldered to, or have had their firmware changed. Because of the nature of the products we deal with (prototyping electronic tools) we cannot allow returns of items that have been programmed, powered up, or otherwise changed post shipment from our warehouse.<br />
<br />
All returned merchandise must be in its original mint and clean condition. Returns on damaged, scratched, programmed, burnt, or otherwise 'played with' merchandise will not be accepted.<br />
<br />
All returns must include all the factory accessories which come with the item. This includes any In-Circuit-Serial-Programming cables, anti-static packing, boxes, etc. <br />
<br />
With your return, enclose your PO#. Also include a brief letter of explanation of why the merchandise is being returned and state your request for either a refund or an exchange. Include the authorization number on this letter, and on the outside of the shipping box.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Boards which are originally shipped by us in ESD antistatic packing, returned back to us '''not inside ESD protective antistatic packing''' will be considered with void warranty. We will not repair nor replace such boards.<br />
<br />
== Long Term Availability ==<br />
<br />
We produce all our boards as long as there is certain demand for them and we can source the major components.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the number of sold boards per year go below reasonable manufacturing levels, in this case we mark this board as obsolete once it goes out of stock and we have no stock of blank PCBs for it.<br />
<br />
Note that obsolete boards could be ordered, in such case contact us and ask for quotation, we will respond with the minimum order quantity to manufacture this board. It usually is about 100 pcs for most of boards.<br />
<br />
== Sponsorship ==<br />
<br />
OLIMEX tries to support and encourage open source movement and projects, the implementation of these goals though is not easy. <br />
<br />
We ran "Free boards for open source initiative" back in 2011 and for nine months we gave away more than 30 different boards and programmers to people who submitted projects to us, promising that they will complete this or that open source project, needless to say 19 months later none of them is complete, the reasons - no time to complete this yet ;)<br />
<br />
So obviously give me free board I promise will do this or that do not attract serious people but these who just want to grab free stuff.<br />
<br />
Later on we decided to do something else - developers who buy our boards and then do open source project with them to receive discount for their next purchase, this kinda working better than the first initiative, but is so long in time that many developers forget to ask for their discount.<br />
<br />
So what we decided to do from now on is to send some of our newly developed boards to people who we see to be active [https://www.olimex.com/forum/ on our forum] , to contribute and help others there when they have questions, also the active developers around OLinuXino project always can count on us to receive free boards of all new OLinuXino boards we make. These are people who help with the Linux Kernel, drivers, Linux distributions etc.<br />
<br />
Hacker-labs, Hacker-spaces, communities which teach childerns on volunteering basis in Bulgaria and all around the world will always get discount, just contact us and send us your web site and the projects you have been completed and working on, before you make your order so we will assign you special login username and password for ordering with discount.<br />
<br />

== Orders ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
All orders must be placed through our website https://www.olimex.com <br />
<br />
Please note: OLIMEX Ltd does not consider the receipt of a Purchase Order document as valid submission of an order if this order is not placed through our web site this order do not exist for us. You can't place an order with us through faxes, emails, phone calls, so please don't do this.<br />
<br />
There are no minimum orders.<br />
<br />
Please Note: It may not be possible to cancel your order once it has been placed. To avoid any trouble, please make sure you want everything in your cart before clicking 'Submit Order'.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Prices ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
All prices on our web are in EURO currency. For customers from Bulgaria (when select Bulgaria as country in CHECKOUT page), prices are shown in Bulgarian Leva and payment is effected in BGN.<br />
<br />
All price discounts are generated automatically at the time when you enter your order depend on the quantity you enter, we do not offer any other discounts than these on our web.<br />
<br />
== European VAT Registration and Exemption ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
If you're a Non-Bulgarian VAT registered business based within the EU economic area you can avoid paying VAT on your purchase with us by taking the following steps:<br />
<br />
1. Enter your VALID VAT-ID when you place your order (the VAT-ID field will appear only when you select country within EU economic area). <br />
<br />
2. DO NOT place your order until you see the VAT at checkout go to zero.<br />
<br />
Requests to refund VAT on purchases made where there is a valid VAT number, but where the VAT-ID was not entered at the time of the purchase and the order is paid and shipped with invoice including VAT, will incur a EUR 30 admin fee to action the refund.<br />
<br />
Please be very careful when you enter your VAT-ID, we recommend you to check if it is valid VAT-ID first at [http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do?selectedLanguage=EN VIAS WEB site] as when you enter your order we do not do real time check due to the permanent problems with VIES servers they quite often timeout or are down. We check these VAT-IDs before shipping though, so entering incorrect VAT-ID will lead to significant delay in your order processing and it may be hold for several days untill we collect the not paid VAT 20%, so our advice is to enter only VAT-IDs which first you check on above web site and it confirms them. Some countries like Spain and Italy have "internal" VAT-IDs which are not updated to VIES VAT-ID server, if you have such VAT-ID please do not enter it as it is not valid VAT-ID for EU VAT free purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Payments ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
All orders with us have to be pre-paid. We do not offer any other terms.<br />
<br />
''CREDIT CARD'': We accept Visa, Mastercard, Visa electron and Maestro cards. Please contact us in case you want to pay with a JCB card. Some card operators like the Italian CARTASI do not allow payments to Bulgaria. The card payments are processed online by United Bulgarian Bank card processing. Restrictions for this payment option for some countries exist, if when you select your country this payment option is not listed this means your country is excluded for security reasons. For the same reason the payments by cards are limited up to EUR 2000. <br />
<br />
To protect you from fraud payments with your Visa or MasterCard, we use the best practices recommended by international card organizations:<br />
*SSL protocol is used to encrypt the connection between our server and the servicing bank and your card info is transmitted secure.<br />
*The authenticity of your card is verified by introducing security code (CVV2)<br />
*In addition, to identify you as the cardholder, the payment server of our servicing bank supports the authentication schemes of international card organizations - Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode, in case you have registered to use them.<br />
<br />
<br />
''PAYPAL'': PayPal is fast, easy and efficient and allows people who have PayPal accounts to transfer money easily to us. Opening a new account is free. You can pay with your card via paypal also. There is limit of EUR 2000 for payment by PayPal. If your payment is less EUR 100 there is PayPal service charge of 5% which will be add to your order value.

Please use your order number as a reference for your payment, or we may not be able to identify your funds and process your order. Orders where payment has not been received 15 working days after the order was placed will be cancelled. Please note that bank transfers usually take few business days to move the money from one account to other. We will not ship your order until your payment is verified by our bank. A record of the transaction from your bank is not sufficient to release an order. Due to the high cost of accepting bank trasnfers all orders paid by bank transfer are subject to bank handling fee if your order is below EUR 1000.00; The bank handling fee is EUR 30 if the payment is sent form country outside Europe Union. Please note that all bank transfer fees should be covered by the sender (Detail of charges: OUR). If the payments are sent with option SHA we will not receive the order amount and will not be able to process your order. Payments from European Union countries which use SEPA transfers are not subject to bank handling fees.<br />
<br />

<br />
''CASH ON DELIVERY'': This option is available for orders from Bulgaria only. It can be used from individuals. Companies must use different payment method.<br />
<br />
<br />
''REFUNDS'': We will issue refunds via store credit, credit card or PayPal. In case we need to return you money for paid to us with a card contracted or delivered / performed goods or services, we will refund you by a credit transaction on the card used for the original purchase.<br />
<br />
== Shipping ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
We will ship your order in 3 working days after the payment receipt. All orders are shipped on first come first serve basis. For us all orders are equal urgent and we do not prioritize one order for behalf of others.<br />
<br />
Usually 90% of the orders which are paid before 10.00 AM Bulgarian local time are shipped the same day and these with payment received after 10.00 AM are shipped the day after we receive the payment, but we say we ship in 3 working days as sometimes there are many orders to process and this require additional time, so please always consider that your order will be shipped in 3 working days, if we ship faster we are sure you will not complain :)<br />
<br />
==Broken Items during shipment==<br />
<br />
Note: claims for broken items can be made only if your shipment was insured. <br />
When you have shipment with insurance, please always check the shipment content in the presence of the courier when receive it.<br />
If there are broken items make official claim. If you do not make claim and you find items broken later when the courier is not present the courier company may decide that you broke the item after the delivery and not accept the claim.<br />
We will need this claim reference to deal with insurer.<br />
<br />
== Incorrect addresses ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
Orders which have incorrectly filled addresses usually got non delivered and return back to us. In case of post shipments there are no additional fees for the returns, when parcel returns we just refund the cost of the boards without the shipping charge.<br />
<br />
The courier companies are more flexible but if for some reason the customer didn't provide correct phone or address and is unreacahble there are two options - the parcel to be destroyed or to be returned back. Note that shipping back charges are ALWAYS several times higher than the special shipping charge we have from the couriers and it may be up to 5 times more expensive.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Shipping options ==<br />
---- <br />
<br />
'''NOTE: Olimex cannot be held responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen packages for non insured parcels.'''<br />
<br />
If you want to add insurance please check the insurance checkbox on the checkout page.<br />
<br />
Note that all times quoted below are for WORKING days and exclude weekend days, also if your country is outside EU there may be additional delays caused by import export procedures and customs clearances.<br />
<br />
''AIRMAIL'': This is not-insured, non-trackable POST service. We allow only orders under EUR 100 to be shipped with this service. Delivery to Europe usually takes 1-2 weeks, outside Europe 2-5 weeks. Once we ship by POST there is no way to track or trace where is your shipment or if it stolen, missing etc. Be careful and use this shipping option on your own risk. If you choose this shipping option, we can't do anything to help you with your parcel once we ship. Orders sent by post will not have a proof of postage.<br />
Why I do not have cheap AIRMAIL shipping for my country? Airmail is available for every country, but it's slow service and some people do not want to wait, but just dispute their payments after 1-2 weeks from the shipping, then they receive their parcel for free and forget that they disputed the payment, when the number of such people from given country rises too much, we just disable this shipping option for this country.<br />
<br />
''DPD CLASSIC'': This is Road service very suitable for shipments with higher weight, usually arrives in any European destination for 1 week. All parcels shipped by DPD have automatic Limited insurance for up to 520 EUR per parcel, with online tracking at www.speedy.bg DPD do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''DHL'': This is probably the best option to use as DHL accept parcels up to 17.00 oclock, this means that if you are from EU and place your order even hour before we close there is pretty good chance your parcel to be on your desktop next day in the morning. Good price and very fast service. Our own monitoring show that all parcels we ship with DHL usually are delivered in average 1.5 days worldwide (do not include customs delays), this means large portion of the shipments are delivered next day. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.dhl.com. DHL do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''TNT EXPRESS'': This is good price and fast service but TNT accepts parcels until 15.00 o'clock so if your order arrives later the shipment will be next day. For most of the Europe destinations and parcels arrive next day or in 2-3 days, but not as fast as DHL for other parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.tnt.com. TNT do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''FEDEX INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY'': This is expensive service but preferred in some parts of the world. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.fedex.com. The parcel usually needs 2-4 days to arrive to you. FedEx do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY'': This is for shipments only inside Bulgaria, they are express for next day delivery and economy for two days delivery. Note that some remote destinations may take three or more days, reffer to Speedy transit time calculator for this.<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR GREECE'': This is extremly fast service if you live in the bigger cities like Thesaloniki or Athens etc, Speedy usually deliver the parcel to Thessaloniki next day we ship then it's distributed by local Greece courier or post for the remote destinations and islands. There is phone numbers in Greece 0030 2321098003, 2321035735 which you can call and ask info about your parcel as the Speedy tracking works just to Thessaloniki depot :).<br />
<br />
''SPEEDY FOR ROMANIA'': This is extremly fast service if you live in Bucuresti they usually deliver next day we ship, from Bucuresti the parcels are distributed from local courier so in 1 to 3 days the parcel will reach any Romanian destination.<br />
<br />
''UPS EXPRESS SAVER'': Decent service but take parcels only by 12.00 this means that all orders received after 10.00 with UPS shipment will just stay in UPS office until next day, this is why UPS EXPRESS SAVER shipments may arrive next day or max in 2-3 days in Europe and few days more for Rest of the World.<br />
By default this service is not insured, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. UPS do not deliver to post boxes.<br />
<br />
''UPS STANDARD'': This is road service like DPD but is with better price for small packages 1-3 KG for some destinations. By default this is not insured service, online tracking is available at www.ups.com. The parcel usually needs 1 week to arrive to you.<br />
<br />
''PLEASE NOTE'': all transit times above are just based on past experience the courier companies from time to time may deliver for more than the quoted above time. We will not refund your shipping charges if any of the above transport companies fail to meet above quoted delivery times.<br />
<br />
== Imports and duties ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
Any duties and taxes for international shipments are the responsibility of the customer. <br />
<br />
Olimex Ltd is not responsible for any extra charges once the original package has been shipped. <br />
<br />
If the customer refuses to pay these extra import charges, the return shipping and any additional fees will be taken out of the cost of the order, with any remaining funds being refunded to the customer. <br />
<br />
Please consult with your local import customs authorities about the import duties and taxes you have to pay before ordering.<br />
<br />
Note that as written above the courier shipment returns may be several times higher than the special price we have for shipment from Bulgaria, so in some cases the shipping back charge may be higher than the order content in such situation if the customer refuse to accept the parcel and pay the import duties the parcel we will order the courier to distroy the shipment at destination and not deliver back and no refund will be made to the customer.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Warranty ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
All goods we sell are new, factory fresh and tested before enter our stock. Only very rarely does an item not function at first use. If this happens, we will do our very best to replace it as long as the below conditions for return are met. <br><br />
Please check your order as soon as you receive it. Any goods to be replaced must be returned within 7 days.<br />
<br />
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and faulty components, please note that warranty do not cover problems due to improper use, over voltage abuse, ESD shock, improper handling etc.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
All goods are checked before they are sent out. In the unlikely event that goods are faulty, they must be returned, to OLIMEX at the address listed on your order invoice.<br />
<br />
OLIMEX will not accept goods that have clearly been used more than the amount needed to evaluate their functionality. <br />
<br />
If the goods are found to be in working condition, and the lack of functionality is a result of lack of knowledge on the customers part, no refund will be made, but the goods will be returned to the user at their expense.<br />
<br />
All returns must be authorized by an RMA Number. Email support@olimex.com for authorization number before shipping back any merchandise. Please include your name, phone number and order number in your email request.<br />
<br />
Returns for any unaffected development board, programmer, tools, and cables permitted within 7 days from the date of receipt of merchandise. After such time, all sales are considered final. <br />
<br />
Returns of incorrect ordered items are allowed subject to a 10% restocking fee. What is unaffected? If you hooked it to power, you affected it. To be clear, this includes items that have been soldered to, or have had their firmware changed. Because of the nature of the products we deal with (prototyping electronic tools) we cannot allow returns of items that have been programmed, powered up, or otherwise changed post shipment from our warehouse.<br />
<br />
All returned merchandise must be in its original mint and clean condition. Returns on damaged, scratched, programmed, burnt, or otherwise 'played with' merchandise will not be accepted.<br />
<br />
All returns must include all the factory accessories which come with the item. This includes any In-Circuit-Serial-Programming cables, anti-static packing, boxes, etc. <br />
<br />
With your return, enclose your PO#. Also include a brief letter of explanation of why the merchandise is being returned and state your request for either a refund or an exchange. Include the authorization number on this letter, and on the outside of the shipping box.<br />
<br />
Please note : It is your responsiblity to ensure that returned goods reach us. Please use a reliable form of shipping. If we do not receive your package we will not be held liable.<br />
<br />
Shipping and handling charges are not refundable. We are not responsible for any shipping charges of merchandise being returned to us or returning working items to you.<br />
<br />
Boards which are originally shipped by us in ESD antistatic packing, returned back to us '''not inside ESD protective antistatic packing''' will be considered with void warranty. We will not repair nor replace such boards.<br />
<br />
== Long Term Availability ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
We produce all our boards as long as there is certain demand for them and we can source the major components.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the number of sold boards per year go below reasonable manufacturing levels, in this case we mark this board as obsolete once it goes out of stock and we have no stock of blank PCBs for it.<br />
<br />
Note that obsolete boards could be ordered, in such case contact us and ask for quotation, we will respond with the minimum order quantity to manufacture this board. It usually is about 100 pcs for most of boards.<br />
<br />
== Sponsorship ==<br />
----<br />
<br />
OLIMEX tries to support and encourage open source movement and projects, the implementation of these goals though is not easy. <br />
<br />
We ran "Free boards for open source initiative" back in 2011 and for nine months we gave away more than 30 different boards and programmers to people who submitted projects to us, promising that they will complete this or that open source project, needless to say 19 months later none of them is complete, the reasons - no time to complete this yet ;)<br />
<br />
So obviously give me free board I promise will do this or that do not attract serious people but these who just want to grab free stuff.<br />
<br />
Later on we decided to do something else - developers who buy our boards and then do open source project with them to receive discount for their next purchase, this kinda working better than the first initiative, but is so long in time that many developers forget to ask for their discount.<br />
<br />
So what we decided to do from now on is to send some of our newly developed boards to people who we see to be active [https://www.olimex.com/forum/ on our forum] , to contribute and help others there when they have questions, also the active developers around OLinuXino project always can count on us to receive free boards of all new OLinuXino boards we make. These are people who help with the Linux Kernel, drivers, Linux distributions etc.<br />
<br />
Hacker-labs, Hacker-spaces, communities which teach childerns on volunteering basis in Bulgaria and all around the world will always get discount, just contact us and send us your web site and the projects you have been completed and working on, before you make your order so we will assign you special login username and password for ordering with discount.<br />
<br />
== Holidays ==<br />

<br />
Olimex will be closed the following days in 2017. No orders will ship these days, but you can still place an order through the website as usual.<br />

<div>[[File:A20-OLinuXino-LIME2.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 looks similar to both [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME]] and [[A10-OLinuXino-LIME]]. The major differences between A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 and A20-OLinuXino-LIME are:<br />
<br />
*LIME2 has gigabit Ethernet (GbE), compared to the standard 100Mb Ethernet of the LIME<br />
*LIME2 design provides double the RAM memory, compared to the LIME design (1024 vs 512)<br />
*Much better routing of DDR3 memory. <br />
*Increased the number of layers from 6 in LIME to 8 in LIME2<br />
*Corrected pinout of the LCD and GPIO connectors (shields designed for the LIME layout are not compatible with the LIME2 layout)<br />
<br />
<br />
The A10 and the A20 processors are pin-to-pin compatible. Because of the processor, software-wise the board is closer to [[A20-OLinuXino-LIME]] than to the [[A10-OLinuXino-LIME]]. This resemblance to other designs definitely might speed the development on the board - a lot of software written for A20-OLinuXino-LIME might work out-of-the-box with A20-OLinuXino-LIME2. Additionally, pinout tables, GPIO maps, etc released for A20-OLinuXino-LIME would apply to A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 <b>(except for the 0.05" step connectors - LCD display and all the GPIOs connectors, which have a different layout compared to both A20-OLinuXino-LIME and A10-OLinuXino-LIME)</b>.<br />

== Official Images from OLIMEX ==<br />
<br />
In this chapter you would find links to torrents with the official Debian and Android images. The images in this chapter were compiled by Olimex. They are recommended for beginners and first time users since they include full hardware support. If you are experienced Linux professional you might find useful our build instructions also published here.<br />
<br />
The downloaded file xxxx.7z is an archive of xxx.img file. In order to write the image on SD card you have to extract the xxx.7z file. <br />
<br />
*For Windows: use 7zip and then use Win32DiskImager.exe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) to write the image<br />
<br />
*For Linux: use p7zip package. If you don't have 7zip installed first install it <br><br><br />
<br />
#apt-get install p7zip<br />
Copy a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z file in your directory and unzip the archive with <br />
#7za e a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z<br />
where a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.7z<br />
The output should be a new 4GB file with extension img<br />
Put 4GB SD card in your card reader and type<br />
# ls /dev/sd<br />
Then press two times <TAB> you will see a list of your sd devices like sda sdb sdc note that some of these devices may be your hard disk so make sure you know which one is your sd card before you proceed as you can damage your HDD if you choose the wrong sd-device. You can do this by unplugging your sd card reader and identify which "sd" devices remove from the list.<br />
Once you know which device is your sdcard like sda use this text instead of the sdX name in the references below:<br />
#dd if=a20_Lime2_debian_second_release.img of=/dev/sdX<br />
<br />
The Debian Linux image is 4GB and the file system can be extended to suit a bigger card. Use the following three commands to execute a script that would use all the free space of your card:<br />
<br />
sudo su<br />
./resize_sd.sh /dev/mmcblk0 2<br />
reboot<br />
<br />
=== Linux images ===<br />
<br />
These official Debian images should be downloaded to a microSD card. You need a properly set torrent client to download the official images - they available only as torrent files. You can install the Debian to the NAND or the eMMC of your board (if it comes with one). Information on booting Debian from the NAND might be found in these wiki articles: [[how to install Debian to NAND]]; [[how to install Debian to eMMC]]. Download locations for the official images might be found below:<br />

----<br />
<br />
Note: the A20-LIME2-DEBIAN-SD card which we have in our web store contains the image suitable for board with no flash or board with NAND memory on a 8GB Class10 fast microSD card. The A20-LIME2-eMMC-DEBIAN-SD contains the image suitable for boards with extra eMMC memory. If you want to use our images, please, use card with speed Class10 or higher. Else the Linux performance would be very slow.<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />

<br />
===Power supply and consumption===<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 requires 5V regulated power supply external source. regulated means that the power supply adapter should provide exactly 5V no matter loaded or unloaded (some cheap wallwart adapters are not regulated and under no load their power supply may be higher than 5V although marked as 5V power supply, please measure with voltmeter if your power supply provide 5V as if you connect more than 5V to LIME it will be damaged!!!)<br />
<br />
The power jack is standard [https://www.olimex.com/wiki/PWRJACK OLIMEX power jack]. <br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino-LIME can be powered from three sources:<br />
*+5VDC voltage applied PWR jack <br />
*+3.7V from LiPo re-chargable battery connected to LiPo board connector<br />
*+5V applied to USB-OTG connector<br />
<br />
<br />
Power consumption is as follows:<br />
*LiPo 3.7V power battery: 1.2W<br />
*+5VDC input power: 1.3W<br />
<br />
<br />
Comparison table of power consumption might be found at the following [https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/_resources/OLinuXino-Consumption.pdf link].<br />
<br />
LiPo battery allow backup power supply when main power is interrupted. A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 has power managment IC which charge the battery when main power is present, when power is interrupted the LiPo battery automatically provide backup power supply. Step-up converter prvide 5V for the USB peripherials too. For LiPo batteries we recommend these: <br />

===Python library for GPIO, I2C and SPI control===<br />
<br />
The Debian Linux Python package for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 is called pyA20Lime2. It makes the access to GPIO, I2C and SPI considerably easier. It is installed in the default Debian image. More information and examples on how it can be used might be found here:<br />
<br />
[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyA20Lime2 Link to pyA20Lime2 package at python.org]<br />
<br />
===GPIO under Linux===<br />
<br />
GPIOs are located in /sys/class/gpio directory. Note that first you have to export GPIOs. For example:<br />
<br />
add gpioPH2<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 20 > /sys/class/gpio/export<br />
<br />
make PH2 output<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo out > //sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/direction<br />
<br />
turn on onboard LED(connected to PH2)<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/value<br />
<br />
turn off onboard LED(connected to PH2)<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio20_ph2/value<br />

== How To? ==<br />
===How to generate boot-able SD-card Debian Linux image for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2? ===<br />
<br />
Build instructions and required files for the latest Debian images: [https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A20 instructions and files at the GitHub page]<br />
<br />
Note that Linux-Sunxi Kernel is a work-in-progress, this means you can try the current stage/sunxi-x.x branch but if something is broken and doesn't work just revert to the git tags we give in the blog and they would work for sure.<br />
<br />
[https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/wiki Sunxi u-boot loader] The linux-sunxi git page contains a lot of sources for all Olimex Allwinner boards.<br />
<br />
===How to connect a display and adjust the video output resolution?===<br />
There is a separate article on the subject: [[how to connect display to a Lime board]]<br />
<br><br />
<br />
=== Is it possible to boot Debian from NAND? Do you provide such image?===<br />
<br />
Yes, it is possible. Use the latest Debian Jessie image and write "nandinstall". More information can be found in this wiki article: [[How_to_install_Debian_to_NAND| installing Debian Jessie to the 4GB NAND memory]]<br />
<br />
There are other people who are also successful in booting Debian from the NAND. Make sure to check on the forum. Make sure to check the number of very good and optimized A20-OLinuXino Debian images by Igor Pečovnik. There are also his instructions for NAND installation of Debian: [http://www.armbian.com/download/ link to his web-site]<br />
<br />
===How to detect and enable the Ethernet controller (if it is disabled by default)? ===<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />
<br />
===How to download new Android image to the NAND memory of my A20 board?===<br />
<br />
<br />
Follow these steps to download the image to the NAND memory:<br />
<br />
*1. Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive]).<br />
<br />
*2. Go to firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (the latest official one may also be downloaded above).<br />
<br />
*3. Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board.<br />
<br />
*4. Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply 5V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
*5. Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
*6. You will be asked for drivers for the bootloader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
*7. PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
*8. Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
===How to generate Arch Linux image?===<br />
<br />
Recent forum post by user progmetalbg here: [https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=4261.0| at Olimex forums]<br />
<br />
[http://alarma20.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/howto-build-arch-linux-arm-for-a20-olinuxino-micro/ Older step by step instructions on how to build Arch Linux image for another A20 board]<br />
<br />
===How do I write the official Android image to a micro SD card for my A20 board?===<br />
A: First download one of the official Android images, which might be found in the Android section above.<br />
<br />
Make sure that the download link you visit clearly indicates that the image is suitable for the microSD card since there are images suitable for NAND memory also. The images suitable for the microSD memory and those suitable for NAND card are different. However, the upload method is almost identical – using PhoenixSuit.<br />
<br />
There are two types of Android images for microSD card that we usually provide and each of them has to be downloaded to a microSD card using a different method. The image provided for microSD card is either the native Android image that can be downloaded to the card via a software tool like PhoenixSuit (through the board) or an image taken from an already prepared microSD card that requires to simply write the image (through a microSD card reader). <br />
<br />
'''It is more likely that you have an Android image that requires a simple copy to a card. If that is the case you can follow the exact steps as for Linux (e.g. using "Win32 Disk Imager" or "dd" command).'''<br />
<br />
In order to prepare a microSD card with a native Android you will need a software tool called PhoenixSuit and then:<br />
<br />
• Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive])<br />
<br />
• Go to the firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (note that the <br />
images on Gdrive are compressed and you have to extract them to .img files to be able write <br />
them with PhoenixSuit)<br />
<br />
• Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board. Put an SD card in micro SD <br />
holder. We recommend either a 4GB or a 8GB class 10 card.<br />
<br />
• Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply 5V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
• Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
• You will be asked for drivers for the boot-loader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
• PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose <br />
method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
• Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This <br />
might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
Important: When Android runs for very first time it takes several minutes to initialize all files and buffers please do not cut the power supply during this process! Also when fresh image is installed fast boot may be disabled, which means that when you apply power supply after few seconds Android will go in sleep mode and you have to press POWER button to start it, you can change to fast boot when you power off there is dialog box asking you if you want next boot to be fast boot, you have to check this box before you power off. Also note that you must do touch screen calibration when you run Android for very first time which might require a mouse.<br />
<br />
===I don't have neither serial cable, nor HDMI monitor. I also can't access the local Ethernet network. Can I somehow access the board anyway?===<br />
<br />
The latest official Debian Linux image allows the use the USB_OTG connector for SSH connection without the need of a LAN cable or a serial cable. You can use a mini USB cable connected between your host PC and the on-board mini USB connector. For connection convenience there is a DHCP server running specifically for USB0 interface. The DHCP server should give IP address to the new USB0 interface of your host PC so you can make SSH connection from your PC to the default board IP address of the USB0 interface – 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
You can connect to the board using a mini USB cable and an SSH client (if you use Windows you might use "puTTY", for example) at address 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
For Windows operating system - upon connection, the board should show up in "Windows Device Manager" as "RNDIS Ethernet Gadget". You might be asked to install a driver. The drivers can be found online as "RNDIS driver" (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification).

== Official Images Recommended by Olimex ==<br />
<br />
Below you would find links to the official Debian and Android images. The images in this chapter were compiled by Olimex. They are recommended for beginners and first time users since they include full hardware support. If you are experienced Linux professional you might find bare-bone images and much more in the next chapter "Notable unofficial images".<br />
<br />
Note that only the microSD connector is suitable for booting the desired operating system, the SD-MMC connector is not suitable for booting since it is not a part of the boot sequence (refer to A20 datasheet).<br />
<br />
The downloaded file xxxx.7z is an archive of xxx.img file. In order to write the image on SD card you have to unzip the xxx.7z file. <br />
<br />
*For Windows: use 7zip and then use Win32DiskImager.exe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) to write the image<br />
<br />
*For Linux: use p7zip package. If you don't have 7zip installed first install it <br><br><br />
<br />
#apt-get install p7zip<br />
Copy a20_debian_second_release.7z file in your directory and unzip the archive with <br />
#7za e a20_debian_second_release.7z<br />
where a20_debian_second_release.7z<br />
The output should be a new 4GB file with extension img<br />
Put 4GB SD card in your card reader and type<br />
# ls /dev/sd<br />
Then press two times <TAB> you will see a list of your sd devices like sda sdb sdc note that some of these devices may be your hard disk so make sure you know which one is your sd card before you proceed as you can damage your HDD if you choose the wrong sd-device. You can do this by unplugging your sd card reader and identify which "sd" devices remove from the list.<br />
Once you know which device is your sdcard like sda use this text instead of the sdX name in the references below:<br />
#dd if=a20_debian_second_release.img of=/dev/sdX<br />
<br />
The Debian image is 4GB and the file system can be extended to suit a bigger card. Use the following three commands to execute a script that would use all the space of your card:<br />
<br />
sudo su<br />
resize_sd.sh /dev/mmcblk0 2<br />
reboot<br />
<br />
=== Linux images ===<br />
<br />
These official Debian images should be downloaded to a microSD card. You need a properly set torrent client to download the official images - they are available only as torrents. You can install the Debian to the NAND or the eMMC of your board (if it comes with one). Information on booting Debian from the NAND or eMMC might be found in these wiki article: [[how to install Debian to NAND]]; [[how to install Debian to eMMC]]. Download locations for the official images might be found below:<br />
<br />
'''ALWAYS FIRST TEST WITH LATEST OFFICIAL IMAGE, NEWER HARDWARE REVISIONS OF THE BOARD MIGHT NOT WORK WITH OLDER IMAGES!!!'''<br />

<br />
Note that we upgraded the flash memory of A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB from NAND to eMMC in hardware revision J. If your A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB board is hardware revision J or newer it would have eMMC instead of NAND.<br />
<br />

Image build instructions and required files for latest Debian Jessie release might be found here: [https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/blob/master/SOFTWARE/A20/A20-build-3.4.103-release-5/BUILD_DESCRIPTION_A20_Olimex_kernel_3.4.103%2B_Jessie_rel_5.txt build instructions and required files at the GitHub page]<br />
<br />
You can find some older releases and older build instructions (older image revisions might be used as a reference, for testing purposes, or if you own old hardware revision of the board) at the following article: [[A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-older-releases|older releases and older build instructions]]<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this caused big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />

===Power supply and consumption===<br />
<br />
<br />
A20-OLinuXino can be powered from three sources:<br />
*+6-16VDC voltage applied PWR jack <br />
*+3.7V from LiPo re-chargable battery connected to LiPo board connector<br />
*+5V applied to USB-OTG connector<br />
<br />
<br />
Power consumption is as follows:<br />
*LiPo 3.7V power battery: 0.17-0.25A depend on processor load<br />
*+6VDC input power: 0.18-0.33A depend on processor load<br />
*+16VDC input power: 0.11-0.17A depend on processor load <br />
<br />
<br />
Comparison table of power consumption might be found at the following [https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/_resources/OLinuXino-Consumption.pdf link].<br />
<br />
LiPo battery allow backup power supply when main power is interrupted. A20-OLinuXino have power managment IC which charge the battery when main power is present, when power is interrupted the LiPo battery automatically provide backup power supply. Step-up converter prvide 5V for the USB peripherials too. For LiPo batteries we recommend these: <br />

===GPIO under Linux===<br />
<br />
A very good GPIO guide by Dr. Guido Pelz might be found here: [https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/raw/master/HARDWARE/A20-PDFs/A20-GPIO.pdf https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/raw/master/HARDWARE/A20-PDFs/A20-GPIO.pdf]<br />
<br />
You can read data from a given GPIO port. The logical ranges are usually as follows: 0V-1V for LOW (or 0) and 2.4V-3.3V for HIGH (or 1). All voltages are measured against ground (GND).<br />
<br />
If the input signal is to high, you will at least destroy the port!<br />
<br />
In order to use A20 GPIO's first you have to export them. You can export a single GPIO:<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo gpioXX > /sys/class/gpio/export<br />
<br />
To export a range of GPIOs (from 1-230 in the example below) use:<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# for i in `seq 1 1 230`; do echo $i > /sys/class/gpio/export; done<br />
<br />
list of all available GPIO<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# ls /sys/class/gpio/<br />
export gpio21_pc3/ gpio33_pb8/ gpio45_ph27/ gpio57_ph17/ gpio69_pg5/<br />

<br />
Example on how to write to a GPIO. For instance - toggle onboard LED. The LED is connected to PH2.<br />
<br />
1. Export gpio47_ph2<br />
<br />
root@A20:~# echo gpio47 > /sys/class/gpio/export<br />
<br />
2. Set PH2 as output<br />
<br />
root@A20:/sys/class/gpio/gpio47_ph2# echo out > direction<br />
<br />
3. Set high position (1) of PH2 - LED is ON<br />
<br />
root@A20:/sys/class/gpio/gpio47_ph2# echo 1 > value<br />
<br />
4. Set low position (0) of PH2 - LED is OFF<br />
<br />
root@A20:/sys/class/gpio/gpio47_ph2# echo 0 > value<br />
<br />
Example on how to read GPIO (with GPIO #49):<br />
<br />
1. Export GPIO 49<br />
<br />
echo 49 > /sys/class/gpio/export<br />
<br />
2. Set input<br />
<br />
echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio49_ph9/direction<br />
<br />
3. Read value GPIO 49<br />
<br />
cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio49_ph9/value <br />
<br />
4. Unexport GPIO 49 when finished<br />
<br />
echo 49 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport<br />

===How to correctly power off OLinuXino running from NAND Flash===<br />
[http://olimex.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/how-to-correctly-power-off-olinuxino-running-android/ In this Blog post] we explain what are the problems. This is common problem for all computers running OS. [http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_ubifs_mlc Here] you can read more about MLC NAND Flash and Linux file system.<br />
<br />
=== Is it possible to boot Debian from NAND? Do you provide such image?===<br />
Yes, it is possible. Use the latest Debian Jessie image and write "nandinstall". More information can be found in this wiki article: [[How_to_install_Debian_to_NAND| installing Debian Jessie to the 4GB NAND memory]]<br />
<br />
There are other people who are also successful in booting Debian from the NAND. Make sure to check on the forum. Make sure to check the number of very good and optimized A20-OLinuXino Debian images by Igor Pečovnik. There are also his instructions for NAND installation of Debian: [http://www.armbian.com/download/ link to his web-site]<br />

===How to download new Android image to the NAND memory of my A20 board?===<br />
<br />
<br />
To repair the image on the NAND re-upload it following these steps:<br />
<br />
*1. Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive]).<br />
<br />
*2. Go to firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (the latest official one may also be downloaded above).<br />
<br />
*3. Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board.<br />
<br />
*4. Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply (6-16)V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
*5. Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
*6. You will be asked for drivers for the bootloader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
*7. PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
*8. Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />

===How do I write the official Android image to a micro SD card for my A20 board?===<br />
A: First download one of the official Android images, which might be found in the Android section above.<br />
<br />
Make sure that the download link you visit clearly indicates that the image is suitable for the microSD card since there are images suitable for NAND memory also. The images suitable for the microSD memory and those suitable for NAND card are different. However, the upload method is almost identical – using PhoenixSuit.<br />
<br />
There are two types of Android images for microSD card that we usually provide and each of them has to be downloaded to a microSD card using a different method. The image provided for microSD card is either the native Android image that can be downloaded to the card via a software tool like PhoenixSuit (through the board) or an image taken from an already prepared microSD card that requires to simply write the image (through a microSD card reader). <br />
<br />
'''It is more likely that you have an Android image that requires a simple copy to a card. If that is the case you can follow the exact steps as for Linux (e.g. using "Win32 Disk Imager" or "dd" command).'''<br />
<br />
In order to prepare a microSD card with a native Android you will need a software tool called PhoenixSuit and then:<br />
<br />
• Install and run PhoenixSuit (can be found here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgaTFTZnVST05ONzA/view?usp=sharing download from google drive])<br />
<br />
• Go to the firmware tab of the program and point to a valid Android image (note that the <br />
images on Gdrive are compressed and you have to extract them to .img files to be able write <br />
them with PhoenixSuit)<br />
<br />
• Disconnect the power supply and USB cable from the A20 board. Put an SD card in micro SD <br />
holder. We recommend 4GB class 10 card.<br />
<br />
• Press and hold RECOVERY button, apply power supply (6-16)V, release RECOVERY button.<br />
<br />
• Connect USB cable to the mini USB connector.<br />
<br />
• You will be asked for drivers for the boot-loader. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PhoenixSuit and install the drivers from the respective executables (or manually point the installer to the drivers folder in the PhoenixSuit installation path).<br />
<br />
• PhoenixSuit will detect the board and would ask for the method of writing the image. Choose <br />
method of writing the image and confirm your wish to write the image.<br />
<br />
• Wait till upgrade succeeds<br />
<br />
Note that it is not recommended to have your mini USB connected to an external USB hub. This <br />
might cause delays and might distort the signal levels. Always test with the USB connected straight to the USB ports of your computer.<br />
<br />
Important: When Android runs for very first time it takes several minutes to initialize all files and buffers please do not cut the power supply during this process! Also when fresh image is installed fast boot may be disabled, which means that when you apply power supply after few seconds Android will go in sleep mode and you have to press POWER button to start it, you can change to fast boot when you power off there is dialog box asking you if you want next boot to be fast boot, you have to check this box before you power off. Also note that you must do touch screen calibration when you run Android for very first time which might require a mouse.<br />
<br />
===How do I write the Linux image to a micro SD card to use with my A20 board?===<br />
<br />
<br />
To write a Linux image to an SD card under Windows we use Win32 Disk Imager):<br />
<br />
*Download Win32 Disk Imager [http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ Win32 Disk Imager]<br />
*Insert card<br />
*Start program<br />
*Select file<br />
*Click "write"<br />
<br />
<br />
To write a Linux image to an SD card under Linux:<br />
<br />
For instance you have an image with the file name of "debian_2g.img". It would be downloaded to the SD card connected to a Linux machine using one of the following commands:<br />
<br />
* # dd bs=4M oflag=sync if=debian_2g.img of=/dev/sdX<br />
or<br />
* # cp debian_2g.img /dev/sdX<br />
<br />
<br />
where X is the uSD card.<br />
<br />
===How to change HDMI, VGA and LCD resolutions in the official Debian image?===<br />
<br />
The default SD card setup is made with settings for HDMI 720p/60Hz. If you want to change to some other LCD, VGA or HDMI resolution then you have to start change_display.sh script file in /root directory. When you are logged as super user in the board type:<br />
<br />
For Debian Wheezy releases: ./change_display* (* = press 'tab')<br />
For Debian Jessie releases: change_display* (* = press 'tab')<br />
<br />
and press "Enter".<br />
<br />
'''Note that the script should be executed as super user. Under the command line interface you are automatically logged as super user (user "root", password "olimex"). However, under the graphical environment you are not auto-logged as super user and you must type "sudo" before the command (in the GUI the super-user is "olimex" and the password is "olimex")'''<br />
<br />
Then choose the resolution and the interface(LCD, HDMI or VGA). Note that the selection of a specific resolution is done by navigating with the arrow keys and pressing "space" button. Make sure the asterisk marks your selection properly. <br />
<br />
The supported resolutions are:<br />
<br />
'''For LCD:'''<br />
<br />
*1. 4.3" (480x272)<br />
*2. 7" (800x480)<br />
*3. 10" (1024x600)<br />
*4. 15.6" (1366x768)<br />
<br />
Important: initially the boards are calibrated for a specific display. If you re-write the image (no matter whether the SD card or the NAND memory) you would need to use a mouse to calibrate the display initially. It might be impossible to calibrate it via touching the display.<br />
<br />
'''For HDMI:'''<br />
<br />
*0. 480i<br />
*1. 576i<br />
*2. 480p<br />
*3. 576p<br />
*4. 720p50<br />
*5. 720p60<br />
*6. 1080i50<br />
*7. 1080i60<br />
*8. 1080p24<br />
*9. 1080p50<br />
*10. 1080p60<br />
<br><br />
'''For VGA:''' (note that the VGA signals are routed to custom 6 pin connector and you need from adapter to standard VGA connector)<br />
<br />
*0. 1680x1050<br />
*1. 1440x900<br />
*2. 1360x768<br />
*3. 1280x1024<br />
*4. 1024x768<br />
*5. 800x600<br />
*6. 640x480<br />
*7. 1920x1080<br />
*8. 1280x720<br />

===How to detect and enable the Ethernet controller (if it is disabled by default)? ===<br />
<br />
Note: in the previous Debian releases the Ethernet was auto-detected and initialized during boot BUT this was causing big delays in the start-up of the board if you didn't want to use Ethernet or if there wasn't Ethernet cable connected.<br />
<br />
You can enable it by following these two steps:<br />
<br />
1. To check under what name the LAN is associated write "ifconfig –a"<br />
<br />
2. If, for example, it is under eth0 name, then write: "dhclient eth0"<br />
<br />
This should enable the Ethernet and then SSH would also be available.<br />

<br />
===I don't have neither serial cable, nor HDMI monitor. I also can't access the local Ethernet network. Can I somehow access the board anyway?===<br />
<br />
The latest official Debian Linux image allows the use the USB_OTG connector for SSH connection without the need of a LAN cable or a serial cable. You can use a mini USB cable connected between your host PC and the on-board mini USB connector. For connection convenience there is a DHCP server running specifically for USB0 interface. The DHCP server should give IP address to the new USB0 interface of your host PC so you can make SSH connection from your PC to the default board IP address of the USB0 interface – 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
You can connect to the board using a mini USB cable and an SSH client (if you use Windows you might use "puTTY", for example) at address 192.168.2.1.<br />
<br />
For Windows operating system - upon connection, the board should show up in "Windows Device Manager" as "RNDIS Ethernet Gadget". You might be asked to install a driver. The drivers can be found online as "RNDIS driver" (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification). The drivers are provided by Microsoft and they should be available for every Windows distribution - refer to the respective files and articles provided by Microsoft on how to install the required drivers.<br />
<br />
===How to edit board configurations and definitions in the official Debian Linux? ===<br />
<br />
Do you want a custom video resolution output? Do you need a different port definition? Do you need to change the hardware defitions of the board?<br />
<br />
You would need to edit the board's script.bin/script.fex file. How to do it is described in another separate article: [[How_to_edit_board_configurations_and_definitions_in_the_official_Debian_Linux]].<br />
<br />
===How to properly calibrate a display under Debian===<br />
<br />
If the problem is under Debian Linux make sure you are properly logged in the LXDE visual interface! Else applying calibration would not happen for the current user - if you are calibrating from the X graphical interface make sure that you are logged as user “olimex” (if calibrating without the X, the user is “root”).<br />
<br />
#su olimex<br />
enter the olimex password:olimex<br />
<br />
#sudo ts_calibrate<br />
calibrate the touch screen and reboot the board<br />
<br />
#sudo reboot<br />
<br />
It would be a good idea to test with Android or another Debian image also, it has a built-in calibration application by default.<br />
