'Display Debian GUI on 2.8"LCD' does not work on M1, why?

[HermannSW]

Nanopi status LCD program works fine:
http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/Matrix_-_2%278_SPI_Key_TFT#Compile_.26_Run_Test_Program

But 'Display Debian GUI on 2.8"LCD' does not work on my M1:
http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/Matrix_-_2%278_SPI_Key_TFT#Display_Debian_GUI_on_2.8.22LCD

Likely because of the ioctl error logged, what does that mean, or how to prevent?

Code: Select all

Do you need to fix the Permission denied, near the beginning?

Do you need to fix the Permission denied, near the beginning?

I did that in 2nd line, and execution in 3rd line was without permission denied, but did not work (black screen) ...

Hi,
Now just debian system supports the matrix hardware，what system did you use？ You can clone the matrix code on the board，and execute the following commands on the board :
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

Compile and install Matrix:
$cd matrix/demo/nanopi-status
$./build.sh
$./run.sh /dev/fb-st7789s

Boot your ARM board with Debian and and launch the Debian GUI by running the following commands:
$ cd matrix/demo/nanopi-status/
$ ./display-debian.sh /dev/fb-st7789s

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem with the M1. (I verified this with 2 separate boards and displays)
I've tried this with an older debian image and the newest one and I get the same result as you every time.
My display works perfectly fine with the status script but the display-debian script doesn't work at all (very disappointing since this is what I purchased the board for ).

The display lights up white for a second when you start the script and the switches to black and does nothing.
I followed the steps outlined on the wiki page to start the script
$ cd matrix/demo/nanopi-status/
$ ./display-debian.sh /dev/fb-st7789s
