GusAntoniassi Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Greetings all. I've bought an Orange Pi PC recently, along with this screen, and I wanted to make the touch screen work on it. I have tried following this tutorial and this one, but so far I was only able to get the screen working. Currently installed image is: Armbian_5.35_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113. When I run `evtest` the only devices detected are `vmouse`, `sunxi-gpiokey` and `sunxi-ths`. I tried installing a GUI with xorg, lightdm and xfce. To show the GUI on the display I am using the following command: FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb8 startx But touch still isn't working. This is the output of armbianmonitor -u: http://ix.io/18t5 This is my armbianEnv.txt: Spoiler verbosity=1 console=both overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3 rootdev=UUID=4e480977-eceb-4d3c-a360-936d4336ded5

Isn't legacy Armbian_5.38_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop ? That's what I got from the download page. In the box where the display came in there is a label that says "Driver: ILI9486", but from what I've seen this is a waveshare 3.5" display clone, and apparently it works with ADS7846 touch screen driver. The display itself worked with no problems by just configuring fbtft.

Images based on mainline kernel is for example the right on the downloapage (Debian server – mainline kernel) or the ones under the 'other download options and archive' section called next or dev (whereas the nightly images are mostly untested and therefore only recommended for testing and not production use-cases). You might change the topic name as long as you use a legacy image. from the tutorials you linked to: Quote Legacy Kernel [You can only EITHER use touch or LCD due to issues with spi chip select] I don't know if this statement is still correct or if there's a workaround for it but can this be an issue? The second tutorial you linked is about a HDMI display and from what I saw, yours is a SPI one so this tutorial might be not that useful for you. From what I saw you need to proper defined CS pins (one for the touchscreen one for the display). Are you sure that those pins are properly defined? It's more a generic answer since I haven't this display to test it. Maybe @yam1 a bit more precise can help you, since he did a lot of display stuff : 1
GusAntoniassi Posted April 24, 2018 Author Posted April 24, 2018 Hey chwe, thanks for the replies! I will give Debian_stretch_next a try then when I have a little spare time. Just so I can understand, both Debian_stretch_next and Debian_stretch_next_desktop are mainline, the only difference being the GUI? I was under the impression that GUI images were legacy and CLI images were mainline. I'll post the results as soon as I have something!
chwe Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 22 minutes ago, GusAntoniassi said: I was under the impression that GUI images were legacy and CLI images were mainline. okay, I try to explain the situation a little bit.. Armbian has 3 different kernels for most SBCs we provide images. Legacy (which is for the H3 board the 3.4.113 BSP kernel), next (kernel from kernel.org currently pinned to 4.14.y) and dev (kernel from kernel.org currently pinned to 4.16.y). On the normal downloadpage the maintainers provide images which are suggested for a different use-case. One of the main reasons why we suggest the legacy kernel for desktop usage is that it has hardware acceleration (e.g. when you use the MPV player, videodecoding happens on the VPU not CPU). In case you only use CLI and no desktop, video acceleration is mostly of minor interest therefore a more recent kernel might be more important than hardware acceleration therefore we often suggest to use the mainline kernel. For example the 3.4 kernel is to old to build debian stretch images, but with the mainline kernel stretch images are possible (and you get the newer packages of some libraries provided by debian stretch). 3.4 Kernel is EOL since a while and doesn't get updates anymore whereas 4.14 should get update at least until 2020. As soon as hardware acceleration is possible with the mainline kernel (see Bootlin mainlining the VPU), legacy images based on Allwinners BSP kernel might get dropped and Armbian will only provide images based on mainline. The reason why there are also legacy CLI images available is due to hardware which do not work at the moment (e.g. the camera interface is not supported by mainline yet). You can also use mainline images with a desktop but you won't have any hardware accelerated videodecoding capabilities and therefore playing videos will be painful, and might only work on low resolution if at all. If you download a mainline image you get this warnig: Cause we can't test everything for all the boards and every use-case armbian users think about, there might be bugs which we didn't found or which are not solved yet. The BSP kernel is better known and therefore devs know most of it's limitations. For mainline, we rely mostly on upstream plus a 'few' (for Sunxi boards this means ~100 ) patches to fix things which aren't mainlined (yet). With every kernelupdate those patches can break things or can get obsolete cause they're no longer needed, you can imaging that this can't be tested for every board and every use case (e.g only for H3, we provide stable images for 15 different boards). Depending on what you want to do on your display, you might not need hardware acceleration that much and mainline is fine for you. Test it and find out if it works well for you. 1
GusAntoniassi Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 Hey @chwe, thanks for the detailed answer! I was having a hard time trying to understand the difference between mainlike and kernel, with their desktop / cli versions, but you explained it very clearly. I managed to get the display working after a while. I've detailed my steps in this thread. Thanks a lot for your help and attention!
