Zynthian Kit v1: Display not working with last Gorgona Edge SD image

Doing an update via ssh - for whatever reason - didn´t work yet. I´ll give it a new try tomorrow and let you know about my results :wink: Thanks for all of your help!

So I tried updating, but it wouldn´t change anything ´til now. Also read through some other threads.
When getting the log appears an endless loop telling me “Unable to open I2C device: no such file or directory” :thinking:

Hi have you execute the update procedure…

Login by ssh
cd /zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts
./update_zynthian.sh
./update_zynthian_data.sh
reboot

Yes, done this several times…still the “error” :frowning_face:

Strange …i suggest to check the MDAsum of the image (ae8228c7561e7fd2241911a3302f4d1f)
and use Win32DiskImager to write the image on sd
If your hardware is

Display: PiTFT 2.8’ Resistive
Wiring Layout: PROTOTYPE-4
Style -> Font Size: 10

is the same i have…maybe some also hardare problem…

or the wiring itself

Hi @Broiler!

Please, send the output of this command:

cat /etc/modules

Thanks!

doing that says:

stmpe-ts

Hi @Broiler!

If you are using the last Gorgona Edge version,

Updated Gorgona SD image for the new Kits v2

the problem should be solved by updating the software. Please, update the software from the CLI:

/zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/update_zynthian.sh

and send back the output. Also check the content of /etc/modules again:

cat /etc/modules

Thanks

Hey guys, I finally (!!!) found the mistake I was doing. I installed the image right and also used the right commands for updates etc., I just didn´t know that it makes any difference if you connect the network cable to the computer or directly to the router - thaught about it already two days ago, but it seemed to me that the zynthian is right connected through my PC :roll_eyes:
I´m sorry for that, but the whole SSH and how to use it right is completely new for me - so thanks again for helping everybody out who´s not yet so familiar with it!

for @jofemodo still the outputs (when zynthian connected to router :wink: from update:

OK! Yes … perhaps it’s not clearly explained, but for updating you need to connect your Zynthian Box to Internet. The easiest way is connecting it to your local network using the ethernet connector. Your router is an Internet Gateaway :wink:
If you connect your Zynthian Box directly to your PC, a local link is created and you can communicate with the Zynthian Box from the computer, but you wont get an Internet connection. To do so you would need to configure your PC as a gateaway. This is out of the scope of this Forum, but if somebody want to write a little tutorial about how to do it …

Hi @martindunne!

This topic is related to v2 kits and you have a v1 kit. I moved your reply to this topic that is about v1 kits :wink:

Regards!

Yeah, and I thaught the whole time that my zynthian would use the internet connection of my PC when connected - nearly despaired because it didn´t wanted to update

and what if i have same issue of non working touch (PiTFT 2.8) with gorgona next V1 kit?.. with Edge it worked perfect…

Have you tried to re-configure the display from webconf tool? Just click “Save” from display config tab.

Regards

Hi, actually i changed display type, saved, rebooted and recalled mine…, but nothing changed…but …i have a doubt: mine is kit v1 :roll_eyes: ? Is the one with 4 separate boards for each encoder…

All the kits shipped before October 2017 are v1 :wink:

Ok , then it’s v1 for sure… But the strange thing is Edge was made for v2 as you said, and my touch worked again after some calibration issues before It.

Ok, my touch issues are solved, apologies… was a hardware fault by my touch panel flat cable… :roll_eyes:
