### <mark style="color:blue;">2.2 - I/O Definitions</mark>

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Front I/O Definition</mark>

#### <mark style="color:blue;">DC-IN</mark>

Mainboard power is applied to the Factor 101 platform by way of a female barrel jack connector. The system is operational at 19V DC.&#x20;

#### <mark style="color:blue;">USB-C</mark>

A USB 3.0 Type-C port is provided for peripheral usage and as an additional display output option through Display Port over USB-C. Additionally, the port is used for accessing the system via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). See [Force USB Recovery](#id-4.3-force-usb-recovery) for more information on flashing an operating system through the ADB port.&#x20;

#### <mark style="color:blue;">USB 3.0</mark>

4 USB 3.0 Type-A ports are provided for peripheral usage.&#x20;

#### <mark style="color:blue;">LAN 1</mark>

The first LAN port on FR101 supports up to 1Gbps link speeds over standard shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cables. The connector is the industry standard RJ45 connector. The LAN link state is shown by the two LEDs enclosed in the port.&#x20;

#### <mark style="color:blue;">LAN 2</mark>

The second LAN port on FR101 supports up to 10Gbps link speeds over standard shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cables. The connector is the industry standard RJ45 connector. The LAN link state is shown by the two LEDs enclosed in the port. &#x20;

The FR101 uses the Qualcomm QPS615 Ethernet-AVB/TSN bridge IC for high-speed interfacing between the host SoC and ethernet devices on the network. Connection to the host is via 2 lanes of PCIe Gen3.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">HDMI</mark>

Resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz are supported. In case of interoperability issues between certain monitors and the FR101, connect the HDMI to the external display before powering on the system.&#x20;

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Back I/O Definition</mark>

#### <mark style="color:blue;">8 Channel DIO</mark>

<figure><img src="/files/NdyYfsY3bB8jGxci3efi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The definitions of the digital input/output ports are shown below:&#x20;

| Port | Value |
| ---- | ----- |
| DI 1 | 309   |
| DI 2 | 310   |
| DI 3 | 311   |
| DI 4 | 312   |
| DO 1 | 305   |
| DO 2 | 306   |
| DO 3 | 307   |
| DO 4 | 308   |

The digital input/output ports can be controlled through the Linux sysfs filesystem.&#x20;

Example of a digital input port:

```shellscript
echo 309 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio309/direction
cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio309/value
echo 309 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
```

Example of a digital output port:

```shellscript
echo 305 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio35/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio305/value
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio305/value
echo 305 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
```

Digital output port reference schematic (open drain/isolation):

<figure><img src="/files/OYLAko8VzUOCuV1DDHDJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The digital output port can drive relay coils with specifications of 12V/24V/40V, with a current limit of 150mA.

## <mark style="color:blue;">4 - Software & Firmware</mark>

### <mark style="color:blue;">4.1 - Ubuntu 20.04</mark>

The FR101 will arrive imaged with a minimal Ubuntu 20.04 desktop environment. The default user name and password combination is onlogic/onlogic. The default root password is oelinux123, and the user may switch to root mode using `su`.

{% hint style="danger" %}

* `sudo` is not supported
* Do not run `apt upgrade`, as it may break package dependencies.
  {% endhint %}

When booting into the operating system directly from the FR101, ensure that "Ubuntu on Wayland" is selected from the bottom right gear icon at login, shown below:

### <mark style="color:blue;">5.1 - Recommended Hardware Configuration</mark>

<figure><img src="/files/HqhqEmCnraaG52PXjXUE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Android Debug Bridge (ADB)</mark>

Android debug bridge is a command line tool used for accessing the FR101 system over USB-C for moving files, installing packages, or debugging applications. For more information on installation and use, refer to the official [android developer documentation](https://developer.android.com/tools/adb).&#x20;

### <mark style="color:blue;">5.2 - Force USB Recovery</mark>

To reflash the system image, the device must enter Force USB Recovery mode to transfer the system image file from a PC/Laptop. The steps to enter EDL (Emergency Download Mode) mode are as follows:

1. Unplug all wires from the FR101 and unplug the USB cable from the imaging device.
2. Hold down the FN2 button with a paper clip.
3. While holding FN2, plug in power to the FR101. Wait 2-3 seconds then remove the paper clip.
4. Plug the USB-C cable in to the FR101.
5. Plug the USB cable into the imaging system.

{% hint style="success" %}
Check for the QDL port from the Ubuntu or Windows imaging system&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/DoB7oTS1LSGmiYeYnTct" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/eTebdaEbEK3e9Ebei4Hf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### <mark style="color:blue;">5.3 - Flash Operating System</mark>

The FR101 supports flashing the integrated UFS via the USB-C port. To re-flash the operating system, first follow the instructions to put the FR101 into [QDL mode](#id-5.2-force-usb-recovery).&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Back up any important files on the FR101 device before re-flashing.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

From a separate Windows PC or laptop:&#x20;

1. Attach a USB cable to the USB-C port on the FR101. Verify the QDL port is present by opening device manager, and expanding the "Ports" section.&#x20;
2. Download and extract the 20.04\_onlogic folder from the OnLogic file repository.
3. Navigate to 20.04\_onlogic/image/QFIL\_flat/ufs/ and run \_Burn\_image.bat.
4. When prompted, select option "1b".&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/xqjgMZ66Varie4ua3TQX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. Once flashing is complete, the tool will automatically reboot the FR101.

For installing additional packages standard to an Ubuntu desktop experience, proceed with the following:&#x20;

1. Navigate to 20.04\_onlogic/ubuntu/image/
2. On your Windows imaging device, run ubuntu\_preseed.bat

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: This step does not require the device to be in QDL mode.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

3. Allow the script to complete and reboot the system upon success. You will be met with the Ubuntu login screen requiring the same default passwords and display environment selection mentioned in [4.1](#id-4.1-ubuntu-20.04).
