Hi Igor!

 

I'm running your Image on BananaPi and BananaPro and I want to use the 7" Lemaker LCD...

 

Image-Version: 3.2 Kernel 3.4.108 Wheezy

 

How do I switch the script.bin-file?

 

Do I have to change the symbolic link like:

ln -s /boot/bin/bananapipro.bin /boot/script.bin

In /boot/bin are all script.bin files, but the filesize of the BananaPro BIN-files are identical:

 

50516 bananapi.bin

50580 bananapilcd7.bin

50612 bananapipro.bin

50612 bananapiprolcd7.bin

 

The original BIN-files from Lemaker have a different size too:

 

50972 banana_pi_7lcd.bin

50564 banana_pro_7lcd.bin

 

Did you make any changes in the BIN-files?

 

Can I use the BIN-Files from Lemaker?

 

Thanks.

 

Steffen

Yes, you only need to re-link to proper one. Same size is nothing unusual since the difference is most likely only LCD enable / disable. 1 / 0

 

And yes, you can use the one from Lemaker. I got them there and I don't think I made any modifications.

Hi,

 

I've tryed to get the 7" Lemaker LCD running with your image v3.2 Kernel 3.4.108 (Wheezy).

 

What I did is:

rm -f /boot/script.bin
ln -s /boot/bin/bananapiprolcd7.bin /boot/script.bin

After reboot the LCD-Backlight goes on, but there is no output.

 

I've checked 2 LCDs and 2 BananaPro.

 

It works with Bananian and Raspian. Can you check it?

 

Steffen

I have one 7inch LCD from Lemaker around and the last time it was working. 

 

Have you load the driver - add this to /etc/modules

 

ft5x_ts

 

Can you check it?

 

Yes, I'll and put to faq.

That's the one from me... ;-)

The driver is only for the touch, but I get no output on the screen.

 

Steffen

Oh   Nice to meet you again!

 

I just checked and it's working out of the box. First I used some old 3.4.107 image with link to bananapilcd7.bin since I have normal Banana not PRO ... (try bin from normal Banana. Anyway it should work)

 

Than I made an upgrade to latest 3.4.108 kernel together with u-boot. Reboot. Again, no problem ... boot output is to LCD.

 

With default modules on Wheezy:

hci_uart
gpio_sunxi
rfcomm
hidp
sunxi-ir
bonding
spi_sun7i
8021q
a20_tp

Edit:

Made another test with fresh Ubuntu trusty 3.2 with 3.4.108

cd /boot
ln -sf bin/bananapilcd7.bin script.bin
reboot

working.

Hi Igor,

 

(try bin from normal Banana. Anyway it should work)

 

script.bin for BananaPi (bananapilcd7.bin) works, even with BananaPro,

 

but if I use the BIN-file for BananaPro (bananapiprolcd7.bin) I only get a black LCD with backlight on.

I have tryed the BIN-file from Lemaker. Same problem.

 

Like I said with Bananian or Raspian there is no problem with BananaPro and Lemaker LCD...

Any idea?

 

Now I will try an older version of your image...

 

Thanks.

 

Steffen

Like I said with Bananian or Raspian there is no problem with BananaPro and Lemaker LCD...

Any idea?

 

I guess the script file is bad - I just copy it from lemaker Github - but we nail down another bug  I'll fix this asap.

 

Just get the latest build 3.4.108 ... some 3.4.107 have stability issues.

Okay Igor, thanks a lot. I will wait for your fix.

Until then I need to use Bananian for my BananaPro.
