Failed starting software [solved]

Keeze101 · August 18, 2016, 7:54pm

Just finished my Zynthian build:

The LCD is a Waveshare3.2. I added the proper overlay and changed the right line in the config.txt file.

When I start the Pi I get an error, which has something to do with the GPIO…

SSH to the pi and stopped zynthian.

When I run the zyncodertest I get

pi@zynthian ~ $ sudo zynthian/zyncoder/build/zyncoder_test
INITIALIZING ZYNCODER LIBRARY!
Zynswitches poll thread created successfully
SETTING UP ZYNSWITCHES!
gpio: Unable to open GPIO direction interface for pin 27: No such file or directory
wiringPiISR: unable to open /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value: No such file or directory

Any clue?

Cheers,
Kees

Ok, because I use a different lcd screen (waveshare 3.2"), the wiring is also different. I had to rewire pins 2, 3 and 4 of controller 2 to another location. I used 18, 22 and 28 of the PI and created my own HW-version
All seems to work now! Time for some sleep and see if I can get some sound tomorrow!

Cheers,
Kees

This starting to become a monologue, but my zynthian works! Sound and vision and I love it!
Great thanks to the developers. The code is great to understand and can be easily altered.

The only problem I have is that when there is an update of the software, al my settings are reset. Perhaps a good plan to make some configurationfile? Where you can put the pin-layout, used DAC and LCD-screen?

Again, kuddos to the developers!
Cheers,
Kees

Hi Kees!
Congratulations for your success in building a Zynthian! Please, send your pin-layout and i will add it to the list as “PROTOTYPE-KEES” By now is the better solution. I will improve the configuration file in next revisions …

Keeze101 · August 19, 2016, 6:56pm

That would be great!~
Pinmapping:

elif hw_version=="PROTOTYPE-KEES":
        zyncoder_pin_a=[27,21,4,5]
        zyncoder_pin_b=[25,26,31,7]
        zynswitch_pin=[23,107,6,106]
        select_ctrl=3

Hi Kees! Your pin-layout is in the repository, available for everybody. Enjoy!

Hi Kees,

I have a similar lcd, but slightly different. How did you manage to get it working? It must be something with different wiring. How did you do it?

Regards, Pim.

Keeze101 · January 22, 2017, 12:48pm

Hi Pim,

Which screen do you use?

The procedure I used was:
First get the screen to work (insert the right overlay in the /boot/config.txt file)
If this works, create your own pinmap.
Then create your own hw-section in zynthian/zynthian-ui/zynthian_gui.py and
declare that hw-version in zynthian/zynthian_ui/zynthian_gui_config.py

–edit–
Looking at your other topic, I think it can be done. Rewire everything that has something to do with the screen itself. Make a pinmap as I sayd here.

Hope this helps…

Cheers,
Kees

Hi Kees,

I use a Banggood 3,5 inch LCD.
How do i get in the hdmi mode again, because my hdmi screen is all black?

Reg. Pim.

Keeze101 · January 22, 2017, 12:55pm

I don’t use HDMI mode, but connect the zynthian to my network and SSH into it, much more easy.

synthy · January 22, 2017, 12:57pm

I am new in Raspberry Pi so this is abacadabra for me. How do i ssh into it?

Keeze101 · January 22, 2017, 1:00pm

Can you connect the PI to a network? If so, check: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/windows.md

synthy · January 22, 2017, 1:04pm

Thanks, Kees. I will try it. Hope i’ll get it working.

synthy · January 22, 2017, 9:22pm

I have managed to get the ssh connection started. I am not able to change the config.txt file. Nano doesn’t work and i don’t know commands to edit a file.

Keeze101 · January 22, 2017, 11:01pm

Hmm, is nano installed?

Are you logged in as root? Then no need to use sudo.

Type

apt-get update
apt-get install nano

should do the trick.
If not logged in as root, add sudo before the commands.

synthy · February 4, 2017, 5:25pm

Hi Kees,

I have got it all working with the waveshare files for waveshare tft 3.2. Did you plug it in the raspberry or did you change the pinout? what changes did you make, so i can try that.

Regards, Pim.

Keeze101 · February 4, 2017, 9:37pm

I changed the pinout according to the sheet I posted somewhere here above…

Ok, because I use a different lcd screen (waveshare 3.2"), the wiring is also different. I had to rewire pins 2, 3 and 4 of controller 2 to another location. I used 18, 22 and 28 of the PI and created my own HW-version

synthy · February 5, 2017, 11:30am

Thanks for your quick response. I have not connected any controller. Just an LCD at the RPi. So it should give some pictures, but it stays all white. What did you change in the config.txt?

You already in via SSH. What does dmesg says?

root@zynthian:~# dmesg | grep fb

should give something like

Hi Kees,

The dmesg gave:
