Cubieboard A10 Cubiescreen support legacy

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!
