fulvous Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Hi guys, I know cubieboard A10 is already out of support, nevertheless I was able to make the right image work for it with a cubiescreen. Armbian gave me a way to make my own image without so much problems. The only issue I am having right now is that my touchscreen stops working after a while with errors like this: msg ft5x_i2c_rxdata i2c read error: -121 ***CTP***ft5x_read_data:893 read_data i2c_rxdata failed: -121 bus is busy, status = f9 Retrying transmission 2 I asume that my kernel patch for this touchscreen is not longer working. I have found that some guys manage to make it work under kernel version 3.4.79. So I tried to change the kernel version in the userpatches/lib.config file as follows: BOOTBRANCH="branch:v2015.10" <--- to make the image bootable KERNELBRACH="branch:linux-3.4.79" <--- to patch the kernel with the ft5x_tstouchscreen driver. Unfortunately using that kernel version during the compile process gives me: can't read Makefile: No such file or directory Just after the patching process. Is there a way to make it work? if not, would you recommend any other way to make the touchscreen stable? I am attaching the patch I use. Thank you in advance! cubiescreen.patch
Igor Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 We have kernel 3.4.113 and for that one you need to adjust patch - place it to userpatches/kernel/sun4i-default and you will need to get used to with build tools - how to read debug output, etc. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Leave everything else as is. Then it might work.
