Thanks Paul - all working now. And the skin extension is working
perfectly, thanks Ralphy.
I made a fresh install and ran through it from the top - it's really
easy now. Here's what I did:
Fresh Install of pCP6-B7
Resize partition to 500mb
Add these variables to /usr/local/etc/pcp/pcp.cfg
Code:
--------------------
JL_FRAME_BUFFER="/dev/fb1"
JL_FRAME_RATE=""
JL_FRAME_DEPTH=""
--------------------
Load the pcp-jivelite_default-qvga240squareskin.tcz extension
Install Jivelite
Add these commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh to set up the framebuffer
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
--------------------
Add these parameters to the end of cmdline.txt
Code:
--------------------
fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:VGA8x16
--------------------
Backup and reboot.
That's all that's necessary to get the display working and to get
Jivelite launching with the appropriate skin. Marvellous.
One minor comment - I'm not convinced by the resized splash screen. I'm
guessing it's been made by stretching an original image that was suited
to a portrait screen before resizing to 240x240, with the result that
the characters in the piCorePlayer logo look a little stretched in the
vertical direction. The version that I'd made earlier ended up as
240x144, but the splash screen code centres this vertically on a black
background to it fills the display nicely. If you need a version that
is actually 240x240 (to play safe) then can I suggest resizing the image
canvas to make it square without stretching the image? I'm happy to do
this if you like.
