Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] 2.8" touch display on picore

2022-01-18 Thread ppplin


Hi,


I have an old Raspberry Pi1 with a 2.8" Touchscreen display from
Watterott (*learn.watterott.com/hats/rpi-display/fbtft-install/*). I
followed the instructions from
*docs.picoreplayer.org/projects/add-a-display/* but the display was
still black. 

I made the following adjustments:

config.txt
--
#Custom Configuration Area, for config settings that are not managed by
pCP.
#pCP will retain these settings during insitu-update
#---Begin-Custom-(Do not alter Begin or End Tags)-
dtoverlay=rpi-display,speed=3200,rotate=270
dtparam=spi=on
#---End-Custom

cmdline.txt
---
host=pCPServer2 tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_mask=0xF
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 bcm2708_fb.fbwidth=320 bcm2708_fb.fbheight=240
bcm2708_fb.fbdepth=8 bcm2708_fb.fbswap=1 console=tty1 root=/dev/ram0
rootwait quiet nortc loglevel=3 noembed smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N noswap
consoleblank=0 waitusb=2 fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:ProFont6x11
logo.nologo

That got the display working. I was able to calibrate the display with 
sudo TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb1 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0
/usr/local/bin/ts_calibrate

The adjusted size 320x240 was respected, so I assume that it calibrated
well.

Now we come to the skin. pcp-jivelite_wav35skin ist installed, according
to the screen output the piCorePlayer starts, but because of the smaller
display it respawns several time until it gives up.

How can I create a skin that fits my screen size? Till now I havent
found a way to unpack the tcz files.

Same I plan to do. I've ordered an ELEGOO Display 3.5" Zoll TFT LCD
Touch Screen Monitor 480x320. 
So we can have a look together. 

Another question, is there a big difference between the standard
Hififberry DAC+ and the one for the Raspberry Mini? 

Thanks in advance

There are a couple of Projects in the 'Projects'
(https://docs.picoreplayer.org/projects/) section of the pCP
Documentation that may give you some pointers.

Thanks for the answer. Seems like it's a long way to go to make this
display work at all.

"git" is not included by default in pCP.
You can install it as an extension ... however, that would only get you
to the next problem.

pCP does not include made things that are common on other systems. This
is what makes it small and fast to boot etc.

If you take a look at the script that they want you to run you will see
that it tried to fo many things including using apt-get to install some
X11 things.
This is not going to work on pCP.

So ... what you (or someone) have to do is work through their script by
hand to work out all that it is doing and then do the necessary parts by
hand ...

The best way to approach this (assuming this screen is not already
supported by pCP) is to look at some of the Waveshare threads or the
online pCP documentation to see how to tackle it.

[SlimDevices: Unix] 2.8" touch display on picore

2021-01-28 Thread trondkj


I am trying to install drivers for this display:
https://raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/2.8_inch_Touch_Screen_for_Pi_zero
on picoreplayer 7.0.0, Pi Zero W, but cannot get the *git* command to
run. Is there another way to install the drivers for the display?

I want to build a picore player into an old Tivoli One radio with this
display if possible.
