This is the base Nerves System configuration for the [MangoPi MQ Pro](#mangopi).
*The MangoPi MQ Pro works well, but there are active updates upstream and here. Backwards incompatible changes may be out of our control.*

## Using
The most common way of using this Nerves System is create a project with `mix
nerves.new` and add `mangopi_mq_pro` references where needed and in a similar way
to the default systems like `bbb`, etc. Then export `MIX_TARGET=mangopi_mq_pro`.
See the [Getting started
guide](https://hexdocs.pm/nerves/getting-started.html#creating-a-new-nerves-app)
for more information.
If you need custom modifications to this system for your device, clone this
repository and update as described in [Making custom
systems](https://hexdocs.pm/nerves/customizing-systems.html).
## Example use
This example assumes some familiarity with Nerves. To use this system, you'll
need OTP 25. Follow the [Nerves installation
instructions](https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves/blob/main/docs/Installation.md)
for additional system dependencies.
Creating a new hello world application:
```sh
mix nerves.new hello_mango
cd hello_mango
```
Open up your `mix.exs` and add `:mangopi_mq_pro` to the `@all_targets` list at
the top. It's ok to delete targets that you don't plan on using.
Then add the `:nerves_system_mango_mq_pro` dependency to the `deps` function:
```elixir
{:nerves_system_mangopi_mq_pro, "~> 0.1", runtime: false, targets: :mangopi_mq_pro},
```
This will load the latest released version. To use the latest code on the `main`
branch here, add the following line:
```elixir
{:nerves_system_mangopi_mq_pro, runtime: false, targets: :mangopi_mq_pro, nerves: [compile: true], git: "https://github.com/nerves-project/nerves_system_mangopi_mq_pro", branch: "main"}
```
To build and write to a MicroSD card, run:
```sh
export MIX_TARGET=mangopi_mq_pro
mix deps.get
mix firmware
mix burn
```
## Console access
The console is configured to output to the UART on pins 8 and 10 on the 40-pin
GPIO connector. This is just like the Raspberry Pi. A 3.3V FTDI cable is needed
to access the output.
## Networking
The board has two network interfaces, a WiFi module and a virtual Ethernet on
the USB C connector marked "OTG". If virtual Ethernet isn't working for you, try
a different USB cable. You're welcome.
## GPIO
The following table is a mapping between the logical GPIO numbers used in
software (sysfs, Circuits.GPIO), and the pin numbers on the 20x2 Raspberry Pi
header. For example, to control pin 11 you would open a connection to GPIO 117:
```elixir
{:ok, pin} = Circuits.GPIO.open(117, :output)
```
| GPIO | Pin | Pin | GPIO |
| :--: | :-: | :-: | :--: |
| | 1 | 2 | |
| 205 | 3 | 4 | |
| 204 | 5 | 6 | |
| 39 | 7 | 8 | 40 |
| | 9 | 10 | 41 |
| 117 | 11 | 12 | 37 |
| 118 | 13 | 14 | |
| 32 | 15 | 16 | 33 |
| | 17 | 18 | 110 |
| | 19 | 20 | |
| | 21 | 22 | 65 |
| | 23 | 24 | |
| | 25 | 26 | 111 |
| 145 | 27 | 28 | 144 |
| 42 | 29 | 30 | |
| 43 | 31 | 32 | 64 |
| 44 | 33 | 34 | |
| 38 | 35 | 36 | 34 |
| 113 | 37 | 38 | 35 |
| | 39 | 40 | 36 |
