Hi there, I have a little problem with my i2c-screen on the Helios4. It was setup according to the Kobol-Wiki and was working right from the start. However after running for some time (in this example it took around 6 hours) the screen is black and empty. Once I SSH back into the helios and restart the systemd sys-oled.service, it works again for some time... "journalctl -u sys-oled.service" gives the following: Sep 13 10:18:38 helios4 systemd[1]: Started System Starting on OLED Display.

Hello Folks, good day. I have a project where I need to use a OrangePi 4B and couple of hardware pieces connected to it. I'm having trouble putting together a Linux image where I have, at least the minimum functions required for the project working. I need an image where these items below are enable/working: - SPI - I2C - GPIO - PWM - 10.1 MIPI DSI LCD + TOUCH (available here) - MIPI CSI Webcam (OV13850) - 3D Acceleration (WebGL / OpenGl) using the Mali t860 - Bluetooth - Wifi Ideally, I would like to use the most recent Focal mainline kernel, but a legacy image will also be fine. I've been spending a lot of time building and testing many different images, I tested all available on the OrangePi website and the ones pre built on the Armbian too. Some peripheral works on some images, some others not, etc. I also built several images myself but, up to the moment I was not able to make a single one with all the features above working. I'm looking for help from the experts here on suggestions/guidance on how to accomplish the task of having a single, (preferably updated) linux image working on this project. Appreciate the help. Thank you.
