fulvous Posted November 9, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted November 25, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
