Vim4 and ts1050 lcd?

[Erica]

I am wondering if the ts1050 or some other embedded screen is working with the vim4 at this time?  

 

 

[Gunjan Gupta]

I don't have the screen. So I can't say if its working or not. If you have it, please try and let us know if you are facing any issues.

Ok, i do have one, but not a vim4. 

 

I have a vim 3. 

But armbian doesnt install on a vim3 as far as i can tell.  No applicable or verified instructions exist for installing it there. 

 

I would like a working vim board with armbian. So maybe a vim4 is my only choice. 

 

I have not seen the screen work outside of android that came with it. On an edge V or vim 3 with any mainline distro. 

 

But it is expected to work?

 

I will have to buy a vim4 to try.

I am not the maintainer for vim3, but I do see some instructions on the download page - https://www.armbian.com/khadas-vim3/

Ah. Yea those are no longer valid instructions as krescue no longen exists and khadas is against its use even if you can find it. I have it, but the instructions didnt work in June so they are less likely to work now.. 

 

I'm hoping that because vim 4 is in a higher support tier that it will all work. Although I know that linux support for embedded displays is terrible and almost non existant.

@NicoDCould you please guide the user on how to install armbian on vim3

[Erica]

Thank you. It would be good to clarify those instructions.  I read through the thread that I started in june and its not clear to me that a solution was found. 

 

If I get a vim 4 I'll let you know if the screen works. 

We did get the nanopc t4 working with it's screen last year so i know its possible.
