CANBUS
CANBUS Introduction
A controller area network (CAN bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other. It is a message-based protocol, designed originally for multiplex electrical wiring within automobiles to save on copper, but it can also be used in many other contexts. For each device, the data in a frame is transmitted serially but in such a way that if more than one device transmits at the same time, the highest priority device can continue while the others back off. Frames are received by all devices, including by the transmitting device.
Preparation
- two Radxa development boards with CANBUS
- two CANBUS modules

GPIO
GPIO Introduction
General Purpose Inputs/Outputs (GPIOs) are non-dedicated digital signal pins on the circuit board of an integrated circuit or electronic circuit (e.g., MCU/MPU) that can be used as inputs or outputs, or both, and can be controlled by software.
Preparations
- One Radxa ROCK 3B
- One LED
Connection
Connecting PIN_3 of Radxa ROCK 3B as shown
Test
Input Tests
Ground 3 or connect to 3.3V,
radxa@rock-3b:~$ gpioget gpiochip1 0
This command outputs 0 if ground is connected and 1 if 3.3V is connected.
Output Test
radxa@rock-3b:~$ sudo gpioset -m signal $(sudo gpiofind PIN_3)=0 # Output low, Led off radxa@rock-3b:~$ sudo gpioset -m signal $(sudo gpiofind PIN_3)=1 # Output high, Led on
The same GPIO cannot be used by two processes at the same time, otherwise it will indicate resource usage. Therefore, you need to wait for the first command to finish executing before you can execute the second command.
I2C
I2C 简介
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit; pronounced "eye-squared-see" or "eye-two-see"), also known as I2C or IIC, is a synchronous, multi-controller/multi-destination (historically known as master/slave), single-ended, serial communications bus invented by Philips Semiconductors in 1982.
Preparations

Enable Overlay
Please refer to Device Tree Configuration to enable I2C Related Overlay, eg: "Enable I2C1".
Connection
Connect Radxa ROCK 3B and OLED as follows
| Radxa ROCK 3B | <--> | OLED |

PWM
PWM Introduction
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a modulation technique that produces variable width pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog input signal. For high amplitude signals, the output switching transistor is on more of the time, while for low amplitude signals, the output switching transistor is off more of the time.
Preparations
- One Radxa ROCK 3B
- One LED
Enable Overlay
Please refer to DeviceTree configuration to enable PWM-related Overlay.
eg: "Enable PWM1-M0.
Connection
As shown in the picture，connect Radxa ROCK 3B's 15
Test
- Open a terminal and install the Python library for python3-periphery by typing the following command in the terminal
sudo apt-get install python3-periphery
- Create a new Python file called Pwm_led_test.py and paste the following code into the file:
Pwm_led_test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -- encoding: utf-8 --
from periphery import PWM
import time
step = 0.05
Range = int(1/0.05)
pwmchip = int(input("pwmchip:"))
channel = int(input("channel:"))
pwm = PWM(pwmchip, channel)
try:
pwm.frequency = 1e3
pwm.duty_cycle = 0.00
pwm.enable()
while True:
for i in range(0,Range):
time.sleep(step)
pwm.duty_cycle = round(pwm.duty_cycle+step,2)
if pwm.duty_cycle == 1.5:
time.sleep(1.5)
for i in range(0,Range):
time.sleep(step)
pwm.duty_cycle = round(pwm.duty_cycle-step,2)
except:
print("Error !\n")
finally:
pwm.duty_cycle = 1.0
pwm.close()
- In a terminal, execute the following command to test
radxa@rock-3b:~$ sudo python3 Pwm_led_test.py pwmchip:1 channel:0
After executing the above commands, Led will have a gradient effect (dark to light, light to dark).

For example, if the actual spidev is /dev/spidev1.0, then static const char *device = ‘/dev/spidev1.0’;
- In a terminal, compile by typing the following command
