Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite on a Pirate Audio 240x240 screen

2021-07-20 Thread freakk


No worries, I got it working with the drivers from waveshare and some
help from this thread for setting up jivelite.
I still need to optimise the size of the skin, as the qvga square is
smaller than the display, despite being 240x240, same as the display.

Great, thanks for the feed back.

Ok, understood. I am a beta tester. :D 

The scripts are great. It worked like a charm.

But the README.md could be improved because at some points I was unsure
what to do:

in Step 2:
instead of

Code:

pcp_prepare_kernel_src -k  -s 


add the missing parameter value:

Code:

pcp_prepare_kernel_src -k   -s 


Additionally, you could add a hint where to save the kernel source. On
my RPi 3B+, the / partition has a size of 876 MB but the script failed
to uncompress the kernel sources. Therefore I created a subfolder below
/mnt/mmcblk0p2 and changed its ownership to tc:staff. Afterwards the
script run through with the new target folder.

in Step 3:
I was unsure where to download the driver source. Should it be a
subfolder of the kernel sources? Or on the contrary, it must not be in
the directory of the kernel sources? I used a parallel folder below
/mnt/mmcblk0p2 which was obviously a good idea because the build of the
driver was done succesfully. Hence, you might want to add a hint in Step
3 where to download the driver source.

Nevertheless, many thanks for providing such an easy way to create this
Realtek driver.

Thought so.  32 bit running great.  I suspect that I may find some
advantage to rescanning LMS in 64 bit, otherwise I cant think of
any other advantages for me as I only use pCP for LMS.
Is there an other advantage to 64 Bit on a RP3B?

2021-07-20 Thread paul-


Some of the overlays have overrides, which means you can move the
function to a different pin.   But obviously re-routing the electrical
connection is a bit harder.  Take a look at the README in the overlay
folder as to what the specific overrides are for each.

That's why the DSI screen connector for the RPI 7" display is so nice,
it doesn't conflict with other Hats.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0

2021-07-20 Thread Tony T

Insitu_update From 7.01 to 8.0 went well.
Been doing the Insitu_update since 6.0
I’m on a RP3B.  Did the Insitu_update do a 32 bit install?  And if so,
is the only way to get to a 64bit with a full install?

Thanks for the great work.

So I would need to reroute, painful as these are soldered blocks, and
recompile the code since it appears these are hardcoded values.
I could live without the backlight control but if I comment that out I'm
guessing each time a song stops it would flicker oddly.

Seems like I should just have a dedicated pi for controlling the others

Thanks btw.. this was exactly the info I was looking for!

copy2fs is not of much use.

It was initially added as an answer to the "supposedly" corrupt SD cards
problem. But that problem didn't really occur on piCore, so it hasn't
been implemented.

You could completely run pCP in RAM, unmount /dev/mmcblk0p1 and do full
backups of the unmounted partitions.

It might sound better. :D

Hi was wondering what the advantages of using the copy2fs option in
PCP8.0 are?

Have done a number of insitu upgrades and a couple of installations from
scratch all went perfectly thankyou very much.
