RaspberryPi 4 2GB Post-install in Ubuntu Server armhf+raspi3 in Bionic 18.04.4 (archived)

This test case is to be carried out on a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB.
Follow the installation steps at
IoT installation media

After powering on the machine, look at the power LED

The power LED illuminates and stays illuminated while the kernel continues
to boot.

After logging in, run systemctl status, and look at the
"State:" reported at the top of the output

State should be reported as "running". In particular, it should
not read "degraded".

Run sudo flash-kernel

Exit code is clean (0) and no error messages are reported

Run sudo reboot

System reboots successfully to a login prompt

Run sudo shutdown -h now

System shuts down in a reasonable time (less than a minute)

Check output of free -h

Reported "Mem" under "total" is consistent with a
Raspberry Pi 4 2GB. It should be in the region of 1.6-1.8GB.

Perform a large (300-600MB) file copy to USB storage

• Generate a large (500MB) file: dd if=/dev/urandom of=rubbish
bs=1M count=500
• Insert a USB stick (appropriately sized) into a spare USB port
• Make a mount directory: sudo mkdir /mnt/stick
• Mount the stick: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/stick
  (modify mount-point as necessary; check sudo dmesg
  output if unsure)
• Copy the file: sudo cp rubbish /mnt/stick/
• Unmount the stick: sudo umount /mnt/stick
• Remove the stick from the USB port
• Re-insert the stick into the USB port
• Re-mount the stick: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/stick
  (again, adjust mount-point as necessary)
• Compare the copied file to that on the stick: cmp rubbish
/mnt/stick/rubbish

cmp returns 0 and outputs nothing, indicating the files are
identical

Connect a USB keyboard to one of the USB2 (black) ports

Verify that keys typed on the keyboard appear on the console

Connect a USB keyboard to one of the USB3 (blue) ports

Verify that keys typed on the keyboard appear on the console

With an HDMI monitor that supports audio plugged into
the HDMI0 output, and an available MP3 file:

• Install ffmpeg and amixer with sudo apt install ffmpeg
alsa-utils
• Find the correct card name for the HDMI0 port:
  cat /proc/asound/cards and note the name in [brackets]
  for the HDMI0 port
• Attempt to play your MP3 file with: ffmpeg -i
music.mp3 -f alsa -ar 22050 default:CARD=name
  substituting name for the card name found during the
  previous step, and music.mp3 for your choice of MP3 file,
  e.g. ffmpeg -i "Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds.mp3"
-f alsa -ar 22050 default:CARD=vc4hdmi0
• Use Ctrl+C or q to end playback early, if you
  wish
• If you cannot hear anything, first check that the mixer's volume is
  not set too low; run alsamixer, and adjust the volume
  (J for down, K for up) before exiting
  (Esc) and retrying playback

Audio can be heard through the device

With an HDMI monitor that supports audio plugged into
the HDMI1 output, and an available MP3 file:

• Install ffmpeg and amixer with sudo apt install ffmpeg
alsa-utils
• Find the correct card name for the HDMI1 port:
  cat /proc/asound/cards and note the name in [brackets]
  for the HDMI1 port
• Attempt to play your MP3 file with: ffmpeg -i
music.mp3 -f alsa -ar 22050 default:CARD=name
  substituting name for the card name found during the
  previous step, and music.mp3 for your choice of MP3 file,
  e.g. ffmpeg -i "Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds.mp3"
-f alsa -ar 22050 default:CARD=vc4hdmi0
• Use Ctrl+C or q to end playback early, if you
  wish
• If you cannot hear anything, first check that the mixer's volume is
  not set too low; run alsamixer, and adjust the volume
  (J for down, K for up) before exiting
  (Esc) and retrying playback

Audio can be heard through the device

With a pair of headphones with a 3.5mm jack, and an available MP3 file:

• Install ffmpeg and amixer with sudo apt install ffmpeg
alsa-utils
• Find the correct card name for the headphone jack:
  cat /proc/asound/cards and note the name in [brackets]
  for the headphone jack
• Attempt to play your MP3 file with: ffmpeg -i
music.mp3 -f alsa -ar 22050 default:CARD=name
  substituting name for the card name found during the
  previous step, and music.mp3 for your choice of MP3 file,
  e.g. ffmpeg -i "Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds.mp3"
-f alsa -ar 22050 default:CARD=vc4hdmi0
• Use Ctrl+C or q to end playback early, if you
  wish

  not set too low; run alsamixer, and adjust the volume

Check auto-configuration of ethernet

• Run ip addr
• Check that a valid IP address is recorded on the eth0 interface
• Check ping google.com successfully pings a few times
  (Ctrl+C to cancel)

The "eth0" interface should have a DHCP
assigned IP address and you should be able to ping google.com

Configure wifi via netplan

• Place the following in /etc/netplan/wifi.yaml
  (substituting the SSID and password as necessary):

•       network:
          version: 2
            wifis:
              wlan0:
                dhcp4: true
                access-points:
                  my-ssid-here:
                    password: my-password-here

• Run sudo netplan apply
• Wait a few seconds (to allow DHCP to complete), then run ip
addr
• Check that a valid IP address is recorded on the wlan0 interface
• Check ping google.com successfully pings a few times
  (Ctrl+C to cancel)

The "wlan0" interface should have a DHCP
assigned IP address and you should be able to ping google.com

Configure bluetooth, scan for, and pair, a device

• Install bluez with sudo apt install bluez
• Run sudo bluetoothctl
• Check bluetoothctl prints Agent registered
• Check the MAC address looks "real" (not some obviously blank
  value like AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA)
• Run scan on
• Make some other Bluetooth device visible for pairing (e.g. go into
  Bluetooth settings on your Android phone)
• Verify the other Bluetooth device appears in console output
• Run pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
  where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the other device's MAC address, as it
  appears in scan output
• Verify the passcode on both devices
• Check output includes "Pairing successful"
• Disable scanning with scan off
• Exit tool with quit

The Bluetooth interface should have a valid MAC address (not
AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA), can see and pair with another Bluetooth device.

Check the CPU clock speed using vcgencmd

• Stress the CPU by doing yes > /dev/null &
• Run sudo vcgencmd measure_clock arm after about 5 sec
• Kill the stress process

The output should be around 1.8GHz (obtained from online specs)

Run sudo vcmailbox 0x00010004 8 8 0 0

The output should have the board serial number as the 6th integer.

Test dtmerge

• Copy the live device tree using dtc -I fs -O dtb -o test.dtb /proc/device-tree
• Use dtmerge to overclock the SD card. dtmerge test.dtb merged.dtb - sd_overclock=62
• Check the contents of the new DTB. dtdiff test.dtb merged.dtb
• Delete both test.dtb and merged.dtb

merged.dtb should have brcm,overclock-50 = 0x3e under the SD card device.

Test dtoverlay

• Run sudo dtoverlay pwm
• Run sudo dtoverlay -l

The PWM Overlay should show up as loaded. Remove it by running sudo dtoverlay -r pwm

Test dtparam

• Run sudo dtparam sd_overclock=62
• Run sudo dtparam -l

The sd_overclock parameter should show up as set. Remove it by running sudo dtparam -r 0

Run sudo pinctrl

THe output should have status of the GPIO pins.

Run sudo raspinfo

The output should have an information dump about the Pi.
