Linux Quick Start Guide for Roseapple Pi Board based on Actions Semi S500 Processor

Roseapple Pi is a development board powered by Actions Semi S500 processor with 2GB RAM, a USB 3.0 port and more, that is based on Actions Semi Bubblegum-S500 reference design also used by Lemon Pi board. The team behind the project sent me an early sample to try it out. I’ll take some pictures, before explaining how to install and setup Debian 8.1, and how to build and run your own minimal image from source. These instructions should also work for Lemon Pi and LeMaker Guitar boards.

I received the board in a bubble envelope with a thank you letter, and the board itself in an anti-static bag. No other accessories were provided.

Ports, connectors, and headers from top left counter-clockwise: 4-pin UART console, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port, 10/100 Ethernet, a 40-pin Raspberry Pi comptabile header, a MIPI DSI connected, a micro USB port for power, HDMI output, AV output, and a MIPI CSI connector for camera. The board is called Actions_S500_v1.1, and a small heatsink is glued on the processor. They’ve used two Samsung SDRAM chips to get 2GB RAM. There’s a marking close to the HDMI connected reading SINACT, a PCB manufacturer – but possibly not designer -, whose name can also be found on  Lemon Pi and Bubblegum-96 boards.

There’s much less to see on the back of the board with the micro SD slot, and an unpopulated eMMC flash.

Installing and Setting Up Debian 8.1 on Roseapple Pi

You’ll find both Debian 8.1 and Android 5.1.1 in the download page which can be downloaded from either Google Drive or Baidu. This is not quite ideal, as I had troubles to complete the downloads with either, and I eventually managed to get both Debian and Android after over 10 attempts. I also subscribe to the forums, and contrary to people experience with Orange Pi forums, it was straightforward at registration only require email activation, and no manual action.

The procedure to flash the image is pretty standard, and after downloading and extracting the firmware, you can dump the image to a 8GB or greater SD card – class 10 recommend – with dd in Linux, or Win32DiskImager in Windows. This is what I did after the download in a computer running Ubuntu 14.04:


Where X is the device of your micro SD card which you can check with lsblk:


For example on my system, sda (465.8GB) is my hard drive, sdb (29.9GB) the micro USB card I plan to use with the board, and sdc (58.6GB) a USB flash drive, so I selected /dev/sdb. Make sure you select the correct letter or you may wipe out your drive.

The micro SD card used is 32GB, while the SD card image is only 7.4GB, so we’ll need to resize the rootfs to make use of all the space in the card. Remove the card from your computer, and re-insert. I’m using gparted to do the job but other tools are also available:


The program will pop-up windows twice asking to fix or ignore issues, I selected “Fix”, or the resizing won’t work.

roseapple_pi-resize_rootfsNow select /dev/sdb3, click on the resize icon, and increase the partition size to the maximum. Then click the green tick to complete the operation

We can now take out the micro SD card from the computer and insert it into the board.

Running Debian 8 on Roseapple Pi

I’ve connected the serial console, a USB keyboard and mouse, Ethernet, and a USB 3.0 flash drive. The last three are quite tight however, as you can see from the picture below, so if you have a larger USB thumb drive you you may have to use a USB hub.

Roseapple_Pi_USB_3.0_Drive

The board did not boot the very first time, and I’ve not quite sure why, as after several adjustment of the micro USB cable and removing some USB devices, I could eventually boot, and re-connected the peripherals without issues. You may want to press the power switch for 2 or 3 seconds to make sure the board starts booting.

Boot time to the login screen takes less than 30 seconds. The username and password are both linaro.

Iceweasel web browser, LibreOffice and Gnome player are installed, and the performance feels on par with other quad core ARM platform I’ve tried in Linux. My TV reports the video output is set to 1080p60, but actual framebuffer resolution is lower as 1280×800 as you can see from the screenshot above. I have not evaluated video playback or web browser performance, as I plan to write a separate post to about this.

Overall the instructions worked fine and I had no difficulties in setting up the system. I’ve also typed a few commands to find out more about the system:


Linux version is 3.10.37, the CPU is clocked at 1.1 GHz (not at 1.3GHz as advertised in some places), the system has indeed 2GB RAM, and 3.6GB is used out of my 30GB rootfs. I could only see 3 GPIOs, so I asked more details in the forums, but I have yet to receive an answer. [Update: these are actually GPIO controllers, and you need to export GPIOs as needed].

There aren’t any marking for the UART header on the board, but a post of the forums explains how to connect the wires. Here’s the full boot log for reference:

I’ve also run Linpack to provide a quick benchmark. I’ll run more benchmarks later on.


So for Linpack double precision (DP), Roseapply Pi delivers around 173.8 MFlops, which we can compare against Orange Pi 2 mini (182 to 188 MFlops) and Raspberry Pi 2 (154 Mflops with GCC 4.8).

More Linux based benchmarks results for Actions Semi S500 platform (LeMaker Guitar) can be found on armbian.com including with sysbench cpu and 7-zip tests, and results compared to Raspberry Pi 2, ODROID-C1+, Banana Pi and  Wandboard Quad.

Building a minimal Linux Image for Actions Semi S500 Development Boards

Roseapple Pi website is still work in progress, but they do have instructions to build your own mini SDK, which I tried, and again it all built perfectly from the get go.

I had to install some dependencies in my Ubuntu computer, and setup a working directory:


Then I made sure I had the latest version of the repo tool…


… before checking out the code…


… and starting the build for Bubblegum board:


You’ll notice LeMaker Guitar and Bubblegum are both in the list, as well as some GB5 board. The build completed within a few minutes, and the out directory contains the binary images to copy to the micro SD card.


The instructions on Roseapple Pi website stopped there, but further steps to prepare the SD card can be found on XApple Wiki.

First, create a GPT SD card with one FAT32 partition as follows (replace /dev/sdX by your actual SD card device):


Now go into the images directory, to copy the bootloader, device tree file, and the boot partition with the kernel and initramfs


You could now insert the micro SD card into the board to boot with the initramfs, and type shell when asked to enter the shell.


But you may want to add an extra EXT-4 partition in order to install a rootfs:


Then copy the rootfs you’d like to use such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux ARM… to the new EXT-4 partition, and modify uenv.txt in the FAT32 partition of the micro SD card with something like:


That’s it, you’ve just built and created your own distribution for Roseapple Pi.

Any confirmation on the price of the board?

those 3 are not gpios, they are gpio controllers.
you have to use the “export” sysfs node to actually enable a gpio pin.

Interesting to hear that their Linux image also suffers from the same HDMI problem (the LCD resolution defined in the .dts/.dtb is the master resolution and dictates the one of the slave device: HDMI). And funny that they’re not able to resolve that since that means that at least two companies playing with Actions Semi’s SDK have no clue regarding this (the other company being LeMaker with their Guitar) Would be interesting which SoC/PMU temperatures you get when running benchmarks (kernel with 1.3 GHz enabled sent via eMail). When I did a review of LeMaker’s Guitar I managed to trigger… Read more »

Unless the board’s manufacturer doesn’t provide a PIN mapping (which of the SoC’s and PMU’s GPIO pins are mapped to which physical pin headers on the board?) you can’t do that much using sysfs

One sidenote and a small question: Since Actions Semi’s SDK and build system uses GPT a partition resize within a running Linux system has to happen using parted. There’s a description:http://wiki.lemaker.org/LeMaker_Guitar:How_to_resize_system_partition And it would be really interesting how these values look on Roseapple Pi regarding voltage/current available: cat /sys/devices/b0170000.i2c/i2c-0/0-0065/atc2603c-hwmon.0/wall_current cat /sys/devices/b0170000.i2c/i2c-0/0-0065/atc2603c-hwmon.0/wall_voltage (I would assume they use the Micro-USB connector as ‘wall’ power input, if not vbus_* might be interesting instead. I noticed so many times undervoltage situations with Micro-USB cables/connectors that I’m really suspicious when a board that’s able to reach 8W under full load is using this as power… Read more »

But will last longer with a heatsink + cooling fan?
I have a pcDuino3 Nano at home, but didn’t dare to use it since it lacks heatsink.
How can i get power to a fan as well?

cnxsoft :
@tkaiser
I just used Gparted in my computer, and it worked too.
You’d probably need a small fan (even at 1.1 GHz?) if you are going to run it as a server or others with sustained loads.
I’ve heard one of the Linaro guys (via a Charbax video) saying most low cost boards don’t last long under load.

Fossxplorer : I have a pcDuino3 Nano at home, but didn’t dare to use it since it lacks heatsink. How can i get power to a fan as well? The pcDuino3 Nano features an A20 SoC which doesn’t get that hot (even under full load the temperatures are 10°C below S500’s idle temp). I made extensive testings with A20 boards and there you only have to care about the PMU’s temp since it can shut down immediately when overheating: http://www.lemaker.org/thread-8137-3-1.html If you really care use a heatsink, ensure airflow around SoC and PMU and use monitoring eg. RPi-Monitor (and google… Read more »

According to Olimex Allwinner announced a pin compatible A20 successor. Threrefore forget about USB3 and more ports. We can just hope that the current A20’s SATA write limitation is not caused by some piece of driver code but by a (then fixed) bug in silicone. But I wouldn’t expect even that.

Hi all, This article explained well how to create a new distribution for Roseapple Pi. However, there is one issue, whenever I start my newly created Lubuntu, ramdisk first says cannot find block device on root and cannot mount my rootfs unless I press “q” to quit. Then it goes well to my rootfs. Do you guys have any clue why the ramdisk tries to load my rootfs to “newroot” folder and it cannot changeroot to my real rootfs? Is there any fix for that or just guide me why ramdisk cannot mount my rootfs at first place? I had… Read more »

@Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft) Regarding “Usually faster than RPi 2 and ODROID-C1” I have to disagree. Compared to the ODROID C1 only Bill’s sysbench run showed an advantage for the Guitar. And when I did my S500 review sysbench times were identical compared with the ODROID C1+ (138 vs. 134 seconds). But the most important drawback of the S500 are the thermal issues when running under fuil load.
