Armbian Bionic #14

Closed pmar146 closed 3 years ago

pmar146 commented 4 years ago

Hi Mr Likeablob, Can you tell me where you got your copy of Armbian Bionic? I can only find the minimal version of it and am having trouble with the WiringOP-Zero. I eventually got the H3 board instead and everything installs OK and runs properly through the HDMI, but I can’t get the GPIO pins to operate properly.

I think it is to do with the WiringOP-Zero install not working properly on my Pi.

Cheers Pmar146

Hi @pmar146 san, How have you been?

My copy of Armbian Bionic came from the official site. Let me share the details.

$ uname -a
Linux opiz2b 4.19.57-sunxi #5.90 SMP Fri Jul 5 17:58:43 CEST 2019 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux  

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release:    18.04
Codename:   bionic

Could you share what you got during WiringOP-Zero installation? https://github.com/xpertsavenue/WiringOP-Zero

pmar146 commented 4 years ago

Hi Likeablob, I have been well and hope you are too. A lot of the delays in my project have been to shipping delays during Covid, but we are getting there. So I got the Armbian Bionic from the official site too, but they only seem to offer a minimal version at the armbian site. Hence VI text editor isn't installed natively and even "Make" has to be installed natively. I notice there are a lot of dependancies missing to do the xpertsavenue/WiringOP-Zero. I added some, but am not sure if I am missing more.

Here are my details of the armbian install minimac@orangepizeroplus2-h3:~$ uname -a Linux orangepizeroplus2-h3 5.4.45-sunxi #20.05.3 SMP Wed Jun 10 12:09:20 CEST 2020 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux minimac@orangepizeroplus2-h3:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

pmar146 commented 4 years ago

The Pi starts and loads MiniVMac through the HDMI cable perfectly albeit without sound, but I just have to find a way to send it all through the GPIO pins.

This is an awesome project though. I have learnt so much by doing it.

Thank you for all your help.

pmar146 commented 4 years ago

I should mention, That I now have the lcd lighting up when I turn on the pi, but still nothing is outputted to the screen,

I feel that the outputs are just not turned on to the gpio pins. Although, we are outputting volts to turn on the screen.

Hi @pmar146 Yeah, the minimal version is fine, I guess. (Oh, nice, I just noticed they have released Armbian Forcal.)

./build: 4: ./build: [[: not found

Hmm, that's weird. But at least the output related to GPIO Utility (gpio command) looks fine. Internally, this project uses that command just for reading the GPIO state of the push switch at PA06. In other words, LCD and Audio outputs does not depend on WiringPi-Zero.

Hi Likeablob, I see there is a problem with the WiringPI and also the command for the kernel modules came up with noting on my pi. I reckon that this should be the problem? What do you think?

Hi @pmar146

gpio: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so: file too short

For this, what will you get from the following?

$ ls -hl  /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so*

# Or you may want to reinstall WiringPi with bash
$ sudo apt install bash
$ sudo bash ./build

(BTW, you can create a code block by surrounding your texts with ```

minimac@orangepizeroplus2-h3:~$ lsmod | grep fb

Hmm, can you try loading the module manually?

$ sudo modprobe fbtft
$ dmesg | tail -n 20 
# What kind of output do you get?

# Is your minimac configured to load the module automatically?
$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/fbtft.conf 
# If not,
$ echo fbtft_device | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/fbtft.conf
$ sudo reboot now
pmar146 commented 4 years ago

Hi Likeablob For $ ls -hl /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so*

I get: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 24 16:41 /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so -> libwiringPi.so.2.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 24 16:41 /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so.2.0"

and I can load the module manually it would seem

I am still getting a blank screen. Maybe it is a dud screen.

Do you think the minimal install would work on Armbian Focal? Maybe a more complete OS would be the solution here.

Cheers PMAR146

pmar146 commented 4 years ago

Amazingly:


1```
now works,
but if I hold the switch in, it still reads 1. Maybe I have a dud switch. What sort of switch do you have?
The Gpios must be doing something as I have volts coming out of them. 

What are your thoughts?
pmar146 commented 4 years ago

I have been looking at this a lot. I have checked all my wiring with a resistance meter and that all seems to test out. I think I don’t have all the required kernels.

‘ lsmod | grep fb‘ Returns nothing. I just get a command prompt.

I hope that comes through nicely. I still haven't mastered the code block yet.

Hi Likeablob, I have checked all my wiring and downgraded the kernel to the same one as you. Amazingly I am finally getting some results from the commands above which are similar to yours. The push switch works. The LCD lights up, but nothing appears on it.

These are the answers to the checks you requested in a previous post.

Hi Likeablob, I have checked all my wiring and downgraded the kernel to the same one as you. Amazingly I am finally getting some results from the commands above which are similar to yours. The push switch works. The LCD lights up, but nothing appears on it.

These are the answers to the checks you requested in a previous post.

Hi @pmar146, Sorry for the late reply...

I have checked all my wiring and downgraded the kernel to the same one as you. Amazingly I am finally getting some results from the commands above which are similar to yours. The push switch works. The LCD lights up, but nothing appears on it.

Nice to hear that. Could you post some photos of the wiring and soldering around the LCD? I guess we're using the same (or similar) LCD module but I'm not quite sure.

pmar146 commented 3 years ago

IMG_6544 Not a problem. I suspect there could be wiring issue maybe. I couldn't solder the fpc ribbon like you did, so I got a connector and soldered it to a board and took jumpers from it (see attached). I have tested all the connections from this with the DMM. Am I correct that pin 1 from the lcd is not being used?

The only other thing I notice is that the last number on this command on my machine is a 1 and yours is a 2. lsmod | grep fb fb_ili9340 16384 1

Having looked all over this, I am beginning to think this might be a connection issue. I have to see if I can find it. It might be that I need to order some more bits to make it work.

The screen I am using is exactly the same as yours. I ordered it from the link you provided and the one that showed up looks exactly the same.

likeablob commented 3 years ago

Hi @pmar146 , Could I get a larger image of that connector module?

If you have a cheap Arduino-compatible board such as WeMos D1 mini (esp8266) or MH-ET LIVE (esp32), you can drive the LCD easily via SPI to distinguish whether the root cause is wiring or not.

Am I correct that pin 1 from the lcd is not being used?

Yes, you're. Both pin8 and pin1 are for GND. But if this problem is caused by voltage drops, it may be worth to try the following;

lsmod | grep fb fb_ili9340 16384 1

Hmm that's a bit weird. Basically that number indicates the number of referencing modules. Have you seen fbtft_device module in the output?

$ lsmod | grep fb
fb_ili9340             16384  2
fbtft_device           40960  0
fbtft                  28672  2 fbtft_device,fb_ili9340

SUCCESS!! I now have the working screen. In the end there was something not right in the FPC connecter itself. I could chase the inputs all the way to the back of the connector, but not inside it. This is where the fault was. Removing the connector and soldering the screen directly to the breakout board which I will cut down has solved the issue.

Thank you for all the help. You have been very patient and I do appreciate it.

So to sum up where I went wrong. I used a late model armbian bionic minimal install. This required a lot of fiddling as there are kernel components missing. Downgrading the Kernel meant that all your commands now produce the appropriate responses and installs as you described in the code section. Using an FPC connector created a problem as there must have been a loose connection in the connector. Soldering the screen directly to a breakout board fixed this problem.
