cheers Chris!

I'd spent the past couple of weeks figuring this out myself. (albeit for the Angstrom distribution).  You beat me to posting it online though  :-D

as to your last point, if you boot into LXDE, press Alt+F2 and run xinput_calibrator (if you've already done a sudo apt-get install of that in Alt+F1) and then when you calibrate the touchscreen the inversion is gone and everything works as it should.

I'm very happy now, I have a BeagleBone with ubuntu 12.04, Chipsee 7" LCD and touchscreen all working together.

I do note that you are just re-using the Chipsee board-am335xevm.c file, I was previously trying to use the new version of this and 'graft' the changes in so it'll be more inline with all the new changes (as I also have other non-Chipsee LCD screen that the new .c file caters for).  I could get it to make the LCD work, but couldn't get the touchscren to work (maybe I need to re-visit this).

anyway, I'll see how far I progress, but thanks again for posting these steps, I'm sure it'll be of great value to a lot of people.

thanks

tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks very much for the xinput_calibrator info. I don't use X myself but I'm sure this will help others.   

I do note that you are just re-using the Chipsee board-am335xevm.c file, I was previously trying to use the new version of this and 'graft' the changes in so it'll be more inline with all the new changes (as I also have other non-Chipsee LCD screen that the new .c file caters for).  I could get it to make the LCD work, but couldn't get the touchscren to work (maybe I need to re-visit this).

 I agree. Not the best solution but at least it gets people going. I'd be keen to get hold of your board file if you plan to finish that! :) 

Also the frame buffer driver was critical,  da8xx-fb.c to detect the panel correctly, etc. 

As for the touchscreen, did you mod board-am335xevm.c to disable the capacitive and enable the resistive "driver" as per the README in the Ezsdk?

I'm also really excited to have Ubuntu running! Life is so easy now with apt-get and such that just works!

Any idea how I can get this LCD to run in 32-bit color mode (ARGB)? fbset registers the change of the color depth but it doesn't really do anything apart from clear the frame buffer and leave it in 16-bit color mode. I've been tinkering in the board-am335xevm.c and da8xx-fb.c files but I am slightly out of my depth!

Beagleboard xm expansion lcd touchscreen


I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Beagle-Board -xM I'm using the Beagleboard Expansion LCD V3 as a monitor, but the screen doesn’t fit and I'm not able to access to the menu. I've already change the resolution in uEnv.txt file. Like this:

defaultdisplay= lcd
dvimode=800x600MR-16@60

But I still have the problem that I can't see the whole window of Ubuntu with the menu and the options on the LCD screen and I can't use a less resolution because it is not supported ¿How should I configure the LCD screen?.

Actually I can see the GUI of Ubuntu but the resolution is wrong.

Hi Stefan,

Any chance those files are ready yet? Recently bought a Chipsee 7" capacitive expansion but was very disapointed to see it does not work yet except with Android.

Best regards

Thanx Chirs,

I have now worked on this, i.e. porting into newest kernel and I finally made some success... :) I will post code etc asap I am satisfied with it...not done yet.

I have only worked with the LCD so far. The touch is still to come...

Anyhow, this is what I have running:

HW: Beaglebone A6 + Chipsee LCD 7" (AT070TN92 panel). Found the datasheet here: http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=AT070TN92.pdf

Image: ubuntu-12.10-r3-minimal-armhf-2013-01-12.tar.xz

Kernel: 3.2.33-psp26.1 (compiled using the link you provided)

The framebuffer driver (da8xx-fb.c) and the board file (board-am335xevm.c) are manually updated/pathched with Chipsee panel settings so that it works nicely...except that it flickers a bit. Will dig more into timings...and touch!

So...I just wanted to update you and thank you on this. Sorry for not posting files yet...will do that when they are ready.

Stefan

[brand...@gmail.com]

In the same boat.  Per the chipsee website it works only with Android and Windows Embedded.  Does this same process work with the capacitive touchscreen?

[victorl...@gmail.com]

Hi Folks,

That resistive/capacitive question is a matter of a one line modification.

FYI:

Into the CD-ROM which comes with the Chipsee expansion, there is an "Ezsdk" folder (/Software/Ezsdk-xxxx) which is a Linux sdk (with source files and pre-built image)  from Texas Instruments.

Inside this Ezsdk folder, you should see a README file (/Software/Ezsdk-0722/README_0722.txt) which contains information about kernel modifications and compilation (including those mentioned above by Chris).

That Ezsdk is a good start point to work with kernel development for hardware with AM335X SoCs.

Cheers!

Im sorry but not on mine disk. I have the following folder structure: Software -> For BeagleBone Black -> Linux-EZSDK and yes there are some kernel sources in a file called linux-3.2.0-bbb-exp.tar.gz but there is no readme which describes the changes. Perhaps you might want to put this stuff somewhere i can take a look into?

Thanks

[victorleite]

sure..

Hello, very interesting information, I try make this but my problem is I not found install_image.sh script, in tools directory only have  

install_kernel.sh but this make a  error mkimage: Write error on /home/user/beaglebone/linux-dev/deploy/disk/uImage: Success

Yup,

Finally got it working today after a few days of hair pulling. It's a tiny bit of work but nothing requiring guru skills.

First, I downloaded ubuntu-12.04-r9-minimal-armhf-2012-11-29.tar.xz and installed it on the SD card. That works fine except obviously no LCD/touchscreen.

I'm going to assume you do everything in your home folder. Also I've left out all the sudo's so apply where necessary.

Next, You have to build your own kernel. This was a piece of cake thanks to the Chalkboard Electronics website.

Go to: http://www.chalk-elec.com/?p=1605  

Follow the instructions there and you will end up with a ~/linux-dev/ and ~/linux-stable/ folder. 

In ~/linux-dev/ edit system.sh and run build_kernel.sh as per instructions. 

You'll end up with a 3.2.33-psp26.1 kernel without the support for the Chipsee kit. That's fine.

Next, assuming you got the expansion kit from TIGAL so you got the software DVD as well, extract the kernel source tarball Ezsdk-0722/kernel-chipsee-05.04.01.00-captouch.tar.gz from that DVD to somewhere convenient (let's say ~/chipsee_kernel/).

Now edit ~/chipsee_kernel/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-am335xevm.c. The touchscreen is resistive so we have to do this:

[Kernel modify guide]:

* Switch to resistive touch by edit board file "arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-am335xevm.c" :

  - Comment line 1525-1528:

  

  1525: //{

  1526: // I2C_BOARD_INFO("ft5x06_ts", 0x38),

  1527: // .irq = OMAP_GPIO_IRQ(CAP_TSC_INT),

  1528: //},

  - Change line 1925-1927 like this:

  1925: //{dvi_init, DEV_ON_BASEBOARD, PROFILE_NONE},

  1926: {tsc_init, DEV_ON_BASEBOARD, PROFILE_NONE},

  1927: //{cap_tsc_init, DEV_ON_BASEBOARD, PROFILE_NONE},

Now do this:

cp ~/chipsee_kernel/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-am335xevm.c to ~/linux-dev/KERNEL/arch/arm/mach-omap2/

cp ~/chipsee_kernel/drivers/video/da8xx-fb.c to ~/linux-dev/KERNEL/drivers/video/

cd ~/linux-dev 

./tools/rebuild.sh.

Insert your SD card with Ubuntu 12.04 on it, and then do:

./tools/install_image.sh

You're done! You should have a working Ubuntu with LCD+Touchscreen!

The frame buffer is 16-bit color depth by default. It can be set to 32-bit colour easily with fbset or a u-boot option should suffice.

The touchscreen device will come up as /dev/input/event0.

You can test it works with:

cat /dev/input/event0 | hexdump

You will see a hex dump of the input events when you touch the screen if all is well.

I have been battling to get tslib's ts_calibrate to use /dev/input/event0. It seems to ignore the environment vars and always wants to open /dev/touchscreen/ucb1x00. I gave up after a few minutes. My project uses the input API directly anyway.

I installed a "minimal" X desktop to test by running the preinstalled /boot/uboot/tools/ubuntu/minimal_lxde_desktop.sh script. After a reboot, up came the desktop but I notice that the mouse cursor coordinates are inverted.  Shouldn't be hard to fix I imagine.

Hope this helps,

Chris.

[robertc...@googlemail.com]

I have just had this issue. The boot partition on the images I used from this site is not big enough to install a kernel. I have to extend the boot partition (which was tricky for me, not so good with linux structures). Once I had got it bigger the install_image.sh worked.

[ami...@gmail.com]

I Stefan my question is what load your image in sd?? whit xz comand??? and i need install ubuntu before??

[sol...@gmail.com]

Dear all,

I am new to this forum. My friend helped me to buy the Chipsee touch LCD from China but it comes without a DVD/CD! Is there any link that I can download it as Chipsee people are not very helpful at all in my case!

Thanks very much!

Kind regards,

I passed with same experience trying to run ubuntu with the capacitive and the black beaglebone. I can confirm steps above are very useful. But you will have two problems when it come to BBB:
- That old version of kernel will hang on Beaglebone Black.
- Capacitive touch will not work.

I started with 3.2.42-psp27 and then spent like 2 days merging changes Chipsee made to have things working on BBB. Can summarize changes to:
- Copied the /arch/arm folder from Chipsee kernel. That helped the kernel to operate on BBB.
- Copy the capacitive touch driver from under /drivers/input/touchscreen/ (ft5x0x_ts.c/h and eeti_ts.c). Please copy the folder in full as it also has the Kbuild, and Makefile changes. And while mearging I note all changes in the folder where made to support the touch.
- During rebuild, and under the config tool; enable the touch driver under device drivers/input/touchscreen.
- Install lxde gnu (apt-get install lxde). Without a gnu the screen will stay black. It could have a prompt somewhere outside the screen boundries you can test if you have a keyboard.. but none of my keyboards or mice worked with that kernel. I am investigating this now. I could had messed up something while merging.

No changes to uEnv.txt It finally worked with touch.

This is not the best solution anyway.. but just to move forward. My next milestone is to have it working with kernel 3.8.13.. anyone succeeded extracting the device tree partially or in full?

[Christian Ruocco]

Hey guys,

I got Ubuntu 12.04 running with the BBB and touchscreen working (Chipsee 1024x600 7”) months ago, simply by using the Chipsee kernel with the ubuntu rootfs and rebuilding other goodies against the Chipsee kernel source (like the SGX OPEN GL ES 2.0 drivers).

Currently I need to boot off the SD card though, but adding the MMC support to the chip see kernel doesn’t seem like a biggie.

Does that help anybody? Or am I missing something? Obviously trying to apt-get kernel related packages will break it but most stuff works.

l8r,

Xris.

Hi Christian Ruocco 

Could you please send me a link to download the prebuilt image of the ubuntu that you mention? So i can test it.

I'll appreciate that. Sorry about my english.

I would like to see that image as well.

Did you happen to get around to this?

[robinvans...@trekwerk.com]

I have a Chipsee screen with the original DVD, but the Linux image which is on the DVD is corrupt. I am also looking for a working pre-built image (or a kernel package) for either Debian or Ubuntu.

Hi Luke... if you are still looking for the DVD.. I think one post here has a link to download the linux branch from the DVD. If you are looking for the full dvd it is about 4GB compressed. Let me know if you still need it so I can upload it for you. And please make sure it is not copyrighted.

Hey guys,

As promised. Ubuntu 12.04 BBB image for the Chipsee 7” 1024x600 LCD touchscreen.

Grab it here:

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/sdFGPZoIw6/

You should find yourself downloading bbb-ubuntu-12.04-for-community.xz

Just extract and write that to your SD card (4gb expected) with something like:

cat bbb-ubuntu-12.04-for-community.xz | xz -d > /dev/sdX

Note it’s a raw sector dump NOT a tarball, so extract straight to your SD card device. (eg.  /dev/sdx, NOT /dev/sdx1) 

Also note this image doesn’t install or boot from MMC so make sure you’ve got the SD card selected on the boot switch thing.

Once the extract is complete, simply slap it into the BBB and boot.  It should come up with the Chipsee splash screen but then

boot into Ubuntu 12.04 after a while. 

Hope this helps.

l8r,

Xris.

[xris....@googlemail.com]

Sorry I didn't mention concerning my Ubuntu img for Chipsee 7" on BBB. The login/pwd is root:root. The touchscreen and OpenGL ES are working. One of the OpenGL demos is in the root home folder.

Hey,

thank you very much for this, display and touch works excellent!

Can you help me with serial ports? I cant get RS232 ports on Chipsee to work. Maybe need some more configuration...

-Jukka

[crystal....@gmail.com]

I get the splash screen, but that is all.  Any ideas?

[xris....@googlemail.com]

Concerning the serial ports, from my ever notes:

# UART0 is up already and available on the debug header.

# UART1 is already setup correctly but here it is anyway:

echo 20 > /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/uart1_rxd   # (P9 26 UART1_RXD)

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/uart1_txd    # (P9 24 UART1Â_TXD)

# UART2 needs this or it won’t work. Makes sense.

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/spi0_d0      # (P9 22 UART2_RXD)

echo 21 > /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/spi0_sclk   # (P9 21 UART2_TXD)

It seems the hardware on my Chipsee 7” LCD/Touchscreen for the BBB is broken. I tested the serial using a loop-back wire on the P9 header on the BBB (pins 26,24 for UART1 and pins 22, 21 for UART2) and it works perfectly. Plug the cape in and do the same thing on the green header with the PC level RS232 and it doesn’t.  So it must be the cape. :(

UPDATE:

The DB9 connector works perfectly for UART1 but the green connector doesn’t.

The green connector works perfectly for UART2 (provided you’ve muxed the pins like above)

NOTE: Getting UART2 working remuxes some pins from the SPI to the UART.  I checked that this doesn’t effect the MMC or the touchscreen. It doesn’t. All good. Couldn’t check if the eMMC is affected since this EZSDK kernel i’m using doesn’t

Is this for the cap touch screen or the resistive screen?

No you have to install your own. If you are looking for a desktop environment you have to install that yourself as well. I tried LXDE and everything worked, including the touch input.

Hey,

I have been testing this and otherwise it works well, but BBB is rebooting approx. once a day. There is some discussion threads that says it could be power related problem and some say Ångstrom Linux works better. What do you think? Have you experienced any sudden reboots? Would it be possible for you to create an Ångstrom image with Chipsee support?

Hey there,

I actually did notice some rebooting issues but it seems to have stopped. I have a theory it’s related to networking. When I don’t have the ethernet port plugged in. It’s just a crazy theory. Haven’t taken the time to prove this. But it is definitely staying up ATM.

Yes, I could probably get Angstrom working. Not sure when I’ll have the time but I’ll try.

Maybe one of you guys can try it for me in the meantime. If you’ve got my image, simply wipe out the rootfs (mkfs.ext?) and copy the Anstrom one over and see if it boots. Oh, and don’t forget to copy the /lib/modules/3.x.x modules & such over as well.

Also does anyone know if Robert Nelsons BBB ubuntu 12.04 or later which doesn’t support the LCD is causing the same rebooting issue?

Chipsee sent me a link a few days ago.  They apparently have an Angstrom image that works.

I had to register there for a free cloud account and transfer that file to my new account and download it from there... I did this with a little help of Google Translate :)

[nguye...@gmail.com]

Also just a note, the Angstrom image is a 3.8.13 kernel so it uses a device tree instead of board files. You can convert the .dtb file in the boot folder back to a .dts file so you can edit it if you want to make changes.

First go to the /boot folder after you extract the .rar

//Make a backup copy of original

cp am335x-bbb-exp.dtb am335x-bbb-exp.dtb.original

//Make the .dts from the .dtb

dtc -I dtb -O dts -o am335x-bbb-exp.dts /boot/am335x-bbb-exp.dtb

//Then make whatever changes you want to the .dts and compile back to .dtb

dtc -I dts -O dtb -o am335x-bbb-exp.dtb am335x-boneblack.dts

Hey!

There is a very stable Ubuntu 13.04(?) from Robert Nelson available but it doesn’t have the Chipsee LCD and touchscreen code, and I haven’t got that working because it requires writing or obtaining a DTBO or doing some rather hair raising mods to the kernel directly.  One of the guys on this thread mentioned Angstrom now has the DTBO for the 3.8 kernel they’re using. I plan to take the latest stable Ubuntu from Robert Nelson, whack in the DTBO and get that up and running. That’s the best solution as well, not a hack like my previous solution on 12.04. Also, it’ll then be installable onto the eMMC and we can do away with booting of SD card.

Will let you guys know when it’s done.

l8r,x

Hi,

My image is configured to give the ethernet device the static IP address 192.168.0.21 and default gateway 192.168.0.1.  If those settings aren’t compatible with your network setup, change them in the /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt file.  I had to hard-code them because I wasn’t getting any joy setting up eth0 from ubuntu. I’m still not sure why. So I chose to use uboot to help out.

l8r,

Xris.

[Nicholas Sparks]

Nothing to add to this conversation, but for the latest builds from Chipsee, the link I was given from them was this...

http://www.chipsee.com/upload/BBB/ 

[Nicholas Sparks]

Do you have this available for download? I was checking your other posts, but I don't see anything. A Google search pointed me to a 12.04 upload you did a 1.5 months ago.

What are you looking for? A Ubuntu 13.10 image with Chipsee support?

This works wonderfully! Thanks. Do you, or anyone else, have tips on getting wifi going with this image?

Not that I know of. 

But it should be fairly straight forward to do what I’ve done.  Create a Wheezy image and then copy the uboot folder contents from mine over yours and the lib/modules of course and it should hopefully boot without issues or very little modification. I see Wheezy uses a 3.2 kernel so this should work quite nicely.

Hope that helps,

This isn't the "right" way to do it but it will work.

1. Download the Debian Wheezy 7.2 img from and install it on an SD Card using the instructions on the site.

http://www.armhf.com/index.php/boards/beaglebone-black/

2. Download the pre-built Angstrom image from Chipsee

http://www.4shared.com/rar/8lKQ5nSBba/prebuilt-angstrom-bbb-exp-2014.html

3. Extract the pre-built Angstrom image somewhere.

4. Copy the 'boot' folder from the Angstrom image to the SD Card and replace any duplicate files.

5. Plug in the SD Card and boot up.

Note: I haven't verified but if you follow these instructions I don't think you can flash to the eMMC unless you edit the uEnv.txt

Hi all

I have a BBB board and a BBB Expansion and I want to build Linux for it. Not prebuild image. Can you show me kernel Linux and tutorial for this?

[Jaymes Berkly]

This works well, though it doesn't seem to work for the ubuntu image. Working on seeing if booting from eMMC is possible. The eMMC is disabled in the am335x-bbb-exp.dts. After adding the following code below to enable the eMMC worked but the LCD stopped working too.

 

bone_capemgr {

compatible = "ti,bone-capemgr";

status = "okay";

eeprom = <0xc>;

baseboardmaps {

board@0 {

board-name = "A335BONE";

compatible-name = "ti,beaglebone";

linux,phandle = <0x4b>;

phandle = <0x4b>;

};

board@1 {

board-name = "A335BNLT";

compatible-name = "ti,beaglebone-black";

linux,phandle = <0x4c>;

phandle = <0x4c>;

};

};

slots {

slot@100 {

ti,cape-override;

priority = <0x1>;

compatible = "ti,beaglebone-black";

board-name = "Bone-LT-eMMC-2G";

version = "00A0";

manufacturer = "Texas Instruments";

part-number = "BB-BONE-EMMC-2G";

};

};

capemaps {

cape@1 {

part-number = "BB-BONE-EMMC-2G";

version@00A0 {

version = "00A0";

dtbo = "cape-bone-2g-emmc1.dtbo";

};

};

};

};

These should be of help elinux and eewiki

[Jaymes Berkly]

Forgot this one too wiki.ti

[Kevin Nguyen]

I have the ubuntu image working, I'm just running it off of the SD card though. I haven't had time to work on moving it to the eMMC.

Did you followed the same procedure given above for the black to run the expansion v3 on beagle board xm. I am trying to run ubuntu on beagle board xm and interface with the chipsee (expansion board)

I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Beagle-Board -xM I'm using the Beagleboard Expansion LCD V3 as a monitor, but the screen doesn’t fit and I'm not able to access to the menu. I've already change the resolution in uEnv.txt file. Like this:

defaultdisplay= lcd
dvimode=800x600MR-16@60

But I still have the problem that I can't see the whole window of Ubuntu with the menu and the options on the LCD screen and I can't use a less resolution because it is not supported ¿How should I configure the LCD screen?.

Actually I can see the GUI of Ubuntu but the resolution is wrong.

Hello, I'm working with the 12.04 image, dmesg doesn't recognize speakers or headphones, Can anyone help??? Thanks in advance.

[frs...@yahoo.com]

Two questions:

1. how do I stop the image from looking for internet? I just want it to run on its own and boot up quickly. I don't want to connect to the internet.

2. I think chipsee finally has a debian image. Does anyone have a copy? 

 

[giorg...@gmail.com]

I'm also interested in debian image

giorg...@gmail.com

[Mahammad Mostafa]

Hi.. for the debian image.. I think it is already available under recent Chipsee 2014 DVD.. image file name is: BBB_Exp_Debian20140522.img.xz

Please check Chipsee customer support for it, they are very friendly.

Hi there I installed the image that came with the dvd, it works, but I cannot access the GPIO with node, with octalbonescript this is the error CapeMgr not found: undefined 

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/octalbonescript/index.js:155

    var n = pin.gpio;

               ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'gpio' of undefined

with bonescript:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bonescript/index.js:161

    if(typeof resp.err != 'undefined') {

                  ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'err' of undefined

Anyone have a solution?

[drb...@yahoo.com]

Hello all,

I am new to Beaglebone Black (making the jump from the arduino/chipkit world) and am having some difficulty with this Chipsee 7" capacitive cape.  I feel I am banging my head against the wall over something simple, but could some one provide a walk through for just getting started with the display.  I have the BBB working to an external display via HDMI, but am not able to get the lcd to work unless I use an existing .img.  I am trying to use one of Chipsee's provided prebuilt images, but am having trouble.

Chipsee's directions state to use:
sudo su ./mksdcard.sh /dev/sdX   (X in this instance is a after checking with fdisk -l)

But I keep getting either no passwd for ./mksdcard.sh.  If I drop the sudo su I get permission denied.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

[William Pretty Security]

Hi;

 

If I understand you correctly, you need to use either “su” or “sudo” but not both.

 

If you enter: 

sudo . /mksdcard.sh /dev/sdX

 

It will prompt you for a password.

Just use the password that you used to login.

 

Bill

Hi Fernando.. the issues looks like typical nodejs modules installations issues.

Did you install nodejs yourself or it came on the image?

There are a few but major changes regarding how to access the gpios between the kernel 3.2 and 3.8.. so I recommend you make sure you have the right nodejs version installed. And also reinstall all the modules by the package manager.

[martin elton]

Bill,
I tried your advice and the .sh file doesn't fun.  I am using Debian and the cpu monitor usage runs at 100% when I do this.  But it fails to write anything to the sd card.  After some back and forth with chipsee customer support, I received a message to update a line from
--device) shift; device=$1; shift; ;;
 to
--device) shift; device=$1p; shift; ;;

I am not that familiar with linux as one can tell, but it seems the change just "appends" a p to what ever I type for the device.  I can upload a copy of the zip to dropbox or something if anyone wants to look at it.

[Fernando Derkoski]

Hi there Mahammad, 

First thank you for your response, so the nodejs came with the image, I can try updating and post here my findings.

I also tried octalbonescript and the author said that the library don't support capes, I don't know if it is the case with bonescript as well,

but I will try update the nodejs.

Thanks.

[pmh...@gmail.com]

Martin, 

Did you get it working? I am interested in loading debian on it just as you.  I am new to the linux community and have benging my head against the wall for over a week with this.  I partitioned a blank sd card to an acceptable beaglebone format, otherwise the sd is automatically labled /dev/mmcblkXXX  When I attempt to run the mksdcard.sh and reference the appropriately partitioned SD card, the mksdcard script runs, (displays warning box) but fails immediately.  If you can assist in any way or send a link to your dropbox that would be greatly appreciated!

-Patrick

[Mahammad Mostafa]

Hi Martin, I had it working more than a year ago with the LCD and touch drivers I extracted from the 2013 DVD.  I cocked a customized image because there was no debian at that time. I did not check the latest DVD but I know it got debian and several other flavors. If your DVD dose not have it then I think chipsee customers support should be able to share it with you I think. They are very friendly.

Regarding the mkcard scripts.. I doubt the partition is auto mounted. And device writing apps cant go with mounted partitions.

Hi Luke... if you are still looking for the DVD.. I think one post here has a link to download the linux branch from the DVD. If you are looking for the full dvd it is about 4GB compressed. Let me know if you still need it so I can upload it for you. And please make sure it is not copyrighted.

Dear all,

I am new to this forum. My friend helped me to buy the Chipsee touch LCD from China but it comes without a DVD/CD! Is there any link that I can download it as Chipsee people are not very helpful at all in my case!

Thanks very much!

Kind regards,

Luke

I have the chipsee 7" capacitive lcd v2 with speaker,  and I'm trying to work with debian image from chipsee, apart from some issues I have found in the distro, I would like to know how I can change the switches behaviour for volume up/down and brightness up/down.

Searching about it, I have found that switches or buttons are set at device tree, dtb file. As it is posted above, I can convert to dts the dtb file, modify it, and reconvert to dtb.

So:

- Does anybody know how to change button's behavior for volume or brightness actions? 

- Is enough with change the original dtb file for the new one to make the changes work?

[laura...@gmail.com]

Hey Chris,

is there any chance you have still got this image and could upload it? Youre Links expired. Im doing my head in trying to get the Chipsee Display working.

I have done everything you explained earlier: Putting Ubuntu 12.04 r9 minimal on the sd card. Using linux-stable-3.2- & linux-dev-3.2-repository, building the kernel, copying the boardfile and fb driver off Chipsees CD into the sources. Well.. I just couldnt rebuild the kernel. My guess is the kernel versions dont match. I am pretty sure Chipsee is using a 3.8.13 kernel while the other Sources are based on a 3.2. kernel.

I also tried all the prebuilt images. LCD and Touch work but I can access the board via serial.. And I am no fan of prebuilt images since you dont really know how they configured it.

Sooo, do you mind uploading youre source?

Help much appreciated.
Laura

Hi guys,

Had a few people now ask me for the image I uploaded years ago, ie. bbb-ubuntu-12.04-for-community.xz

This gets Ubuntu 12.04 on your BBB with Chipsee LCD and touchscreen working, (and SGX i think)

Check my original email for instructions.

Anyway here's the file:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/b46bzs2ke2jz00m/bbb-ubuntu-12.04-for-community.xz?dl=0

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Warmest Regards,

Christian

I just got back around to the beaglebone black.  I have ubuntu 12.04 working with desktop and touch.  Just have to get the Chipsee 7" lcd's speaker working.

[meavsc...@gmail.com]

Reviving an old beast, is it possible to get this uploaded again? I have a project in mind.

Thanks!

[meavsc...@gmail.com]

Anyone still got a copy of this floating around? I have a project in mind for a BBB I had laying around.

Thanks!

[say...@gmail.com]

Let me know too. The latest image AM3358 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB eMMC IoT Flasher doesn't work.

I've set dtb=am335x-boneblack-bbb-exp-c.dtb on the /boot/uEnv.txt and it still doesn't work.

Am i missing something here?
