s-petersen Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have one of these working with the box, it gives A way to input and output from the box to control things. GPIO, and 12c connections, very inexpensive, and works like a Raspberry Pi https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-libraries-on-any-computer-with-mcp2221/pinout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarok4 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I have exactly the same device and I'm having trouble setting the resolution. The default is 1920x1080. I would like less because I have a preview via VNC on the tablet and the screen is too big and after a few hours of displaying the device freezes. Ram memory 41% temperature 40-50C, because I installed cooling for it. After typing 'xrandr' it responds " failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1920x1080, current 1920x1080, maximum 1920x1080 default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mmx0mm 1920x1080 0.00* " 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-petersen Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) As far as I could see, there was no way to change the resolution, both Android and Armbian were stuck at the same 1920x1080 resolution. I changed font size to get it where i could work with it. Edited December 5, 2022 by s-petersen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarok4 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Thank you very much for your answer. I also enlarged the font. I just don't know why it freezes completely or restarts xserver. It works for several hours or stops after a few minutes. It works all the time when I'm not using the app. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-petersen Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've read the processor may be overheating because the heatsink is not designed for the workload the chip is doing under Armbian, perhaps that is the reason mine failed. It may help to increase the size of the heatsink, maybe try it with the cover off for a test? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarok4 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I installed a large fan and the temperature is now max 55C 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-petersen Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Let me know if this solves the issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarok4 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) I already wrote. The temperature is normal but the problem remains. I had a copy of an almost clean system and ran it all night yesterday. The system did not hang but vnc stopped working after 6 hours. Interestingly, the session is active, the log says nothing about errors and you can't connect. Restarting systemctl tightvncserver also doesn't help, is it a port sharing problem? P.S. Before installing the fan, the temperature was up to 72C! Edited December 7, 2022 by Amarok4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-petersen Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Is there a different program you can try? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarok4 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) you mean vnc? Edited December 7, 2022 by Amarok4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s-petersen Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 yes, there may be a different program that behaves differently, I've never used vnc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
