Great, thanks Ralphy. Looking forward to trying this out, and the
earlier default skin tool. I'll also see if I can figure out how to do
a pull request for the skin, once I've satisfied myself that the
screensaver graphics work properly. This evening's tasks.
In the meantime I've been through the process of installing everything
that's needed to get the display and buttons working on a fresh pCP6-b7
install, so that you pCP folks can see if there's anything else that can
be streamlined. Obviously some of it is already out of date, thanks to
your updates!
Here goes:
1) JIVELITE SETUP
Install Jivelite from Tweaks
Add these commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh
Code:
--------------------
modprobe flexfb setaddrwin=0 width=240 height=240
init=-1,0x11,-2,120,-1,0x36,0x00,-1,0x3A,0x05,-1,0xB2,0x0C,0x0C,0x00,0x33,0x33,-1,0xB7,0x35,-1,0xBB,0x1A,-1,0xC0,0x2C,-1,0xC2,0x01,-1,0xC3,0x0B,-1,0xC4,0x20,-1,0xC6,0x0F,-1,0xD0,0xA4,0xA1,-1,0x21,-1,0xE0,0x00,0x19,0x1E,0x0A,0x09,0x15,0x3D,0x44,0x51,0x12,0x03,0x00,0x3F,0x3F,-1,0xE1,0x00,0x18,0x1E,0x0A,0x09,0x25,0x3F,0x43,0x52,0x33,0x03,0x00,0x3F,0x3F,-1,0x29,-3
modprobe fbtft_device name=flexfb speed=32000000 cs=1 gpios=dc:9
--------------------
Set framebuffer size in config.txt
Code:
--------------------
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size
minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
framebuffer_width=240
framebuffer_height=240
--------------------
Add the following text to the end of cmdline.txt
Code:
--------------------
fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:PEARL8x8
--------------------
Backup and reboot. pCP should reboot with boot messages on the screen
copy /opt/jivelite/bin/jivelite.sh to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/jivelite.sh
Edit /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/jivelite.sh to include:
Code:
--------------------
export SDL_FBDEV=/dev/fb1
--------------------
Change permissions to /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath
Code:
--------------------
cd ~/.jivelite
chmod -R 777 ./userpath
--------------------
Copy QVGA240squareSkin folder to /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets/
copy /opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/DesktopJive folder to
/home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets/
then modify line 110 of
/home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets/DesktopJiveMeta.lua from
Code:
--------------------
jiveMain:setDefaultSkin("JogglerSkin")
--------------------
to
Code:
--------------------
jiveMain:setDefaultSkin("QVGA240squareSkin")
--------------------
Install pcp-jivelite_qvgaskins.tcz extension
copy resized splash.png (240 pixels wide - height not important) to
/home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/jive
Backup and reboot - pCP should reboot with boot messages to screen,
followed by the piCorePlayer splash screen and then Jivelite
2) BUTTONS
Install pcp-sbpd.tcz extension
Install pigpio.tcz extension
Define some button commands in /home/tc/sbpd_commands.cfg
Code:
--------------------
MIX+=["mixer","volume","+5"]
MIX-=["mixer","volume","-5"]
VMAX=["mixer","volume","100"]
VMIN=["mixer","volume","0"]
--------------------
Make a script file to start sbpd, e.g. /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
# start pigpiod deamon
pigpiod -t 0
sleep 1
# load uinput module - required to be able to send keystrokes
# then set the permission to group writable, so you don't need to run sbpd
with root permissions
sudo modprobe uinput
sudo chmod g+w /dev/uinput
# button A
SW1=5 # GPIO pin
number
SH1=MIX+ # command for SHORT
press
LO1=VMAX # command for LONG press
LMS1=250 # milliseconds for long
press
# button B
SW2=6
SH2=MIX-
LO2=VMIN
LMS2=250
# button X
SW3=16
SH3=KEY:KEY_UP
LO3=KEY:KEY_RIGHT
LMS3=250
# button Y
SW4=20
SH4=KEY:KEY_DOWN
LO4=KEY:KEY_LEFT
LMS4=250
CMD="sbpd -v -f /home/tc/sbpd_commands.cfg \
b,$SW1,$SH1,2,0,$LO1,$LMS1 \
b,$SW2,$SH2,2,0,$LO2,$LMS2 \
b,$SW3,$SH3,2,0,$LO3,$LMS3 \
b,$SW4,$SH4,2,0,$LO4,$LMS4"
echo $CMD
$CMD
--------------------
Add Execute permission to /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh
Code:
--------------------
cd
chmod +x ./sbpd-script.sh
--------------------
Add /home/tc/sbpd-script.sh as a User Command under Tweaks. Backup and
reboot.
The X and Y buttons should now allow navigation in Jivelite. A short
click (<250ms, quarter of a second) will move up and down in a menu, and
anything longer than that will make X and Y do RIGHT and LEFT
respectively.
