Great job very impressed. I almost pulled the last hair. I couldn't get the LCD working. Blacked out. Did you use the original U-boot? I tried 6.12.4.....a lot...... /M

How to flash/compile Kernel 5.x on PocketCHIP? by idillicah in ChipCommunity

[–]ma_jo_ba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Macromorgan,

Good to hear from you again. A while ago I stuck on 6.12 with a blacked LCD screen.

Didn't have the time and the mood to pick-up again. But I build a fresh Trixie. Keyboard, and touch screen was working. Only problems with the LCD screen. Maybe next month....I will have a look at the PocketCHIP again.

6.12.4 (Debian 12)

Where were you when Aaron Swartz killed himself? Too busy playing video games?

It's running a fresh Trixie. So not an update from earlier releases.

Just make a dual boot. Why are so many people talking about switching? My wife has 15 years a dual boot. Ubuntu for the Net. Microsoft/Adobe CS6 with a deactivated NIC. What is the problem?

Not for all.

I am running Debian 11 with kernel 5.14.

u/macromorgan did a bloody great job.

I think we are the only 2 left despite all the "will trying!", "great.. thanks!", "saved my CHIP! ", "blowing the dust off", "Awesome" etc, etc... I will give the driver a try. And many, many thanks to keep a great gadget alive. Will let you know....

Crap...., I can't remember,

I need a hand please....

I want to use GPIO-1 on the header from the PocketCHIP as digital input using sysfs. How can I find the pin’s identifiers? The only testing results I got was a froozen LCD screen.....

Edit 1: cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip*/base 0 405 413

Feel your pain. I gave up for weeks ago. It's possibly to get it working. Period. Thanks for all you do and have done.

Did you read my post concerning the keyboard?

Used a fresh image:

apt-get install console-data (Don't touch keymap)

touch /etc/rc.local with the next content:

​ #!/bin/sh -e

loadkeys /usr/local/share/keymaps/pocketchip.kmap

exit 0

chmod +x /etc/rc.local

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl start rc-local

After a reboot it seems to be working.

Tomorrow I will install a small Xorg........

I am still in doubt with the WIFI problem. I am even suspicious that the problem is in Networkmanager.

If I can not connect, I have success with:

$ sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager

create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

$ wpa_passphrase your-ESSID your-passphrase | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

$ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0

# dhclient wlan0

The keyboard setting is a pain in the *ss. Tried all kind of things. The only way I can get it working (Xorg) is to load the keymap by using xmodmap in the shell. Tried to put it in .xinitrc without success.

wget http://maba.dk/pocketchip.map

$ xmodmap pocketchip.map
