Hi All,

I have a blank display using the  Beaglebone A5  with an LCD7 Cape and TI_Android_ICS_4_0_3_DevKit_3_0_1.

The display works with Angstrom image 04-22-12, and the Android installation works with VNC.

Does anybody know why this might be?   Am I missing something about the setup?

Thanks,

Ed Schoeder

    Hello,

    I have the same problem, using a BeagleBone (Rev. A5), a LCD7 Cape (Rev. A1) and TI_Android_ICS_4_0_3_DevKit_3_0_1

    I think the problem is the detection of the LCD7 Cape:

    [ 1.181945] omap_i2c omap_i2c.3: bus 3 rev2.4.0 at 100 kHz
    [ 1.188476] at24 3-0054: 32768 byte 24c256 EEPROM, writable, 64 bytes/write

    I have found this article:

    Thanks,

    Trunes

    Thank you very much!

    The LCD is now working, but the touchscreen is inverted (left = right, right = left) and the buttons don't work (home, return etc.).

    Only the button to shut down is working...

    The touchscreen is now working:

    i changed following in the ti_tscadc.c file:

    old:

    if (cur_diff_x < prev_diff_x) {

      prev_diff_x = cur_diff_x;

    }

    new:

    if (cur_diff_x < prev_diff_x) {
      prev_diff_x = cur_diff_x;
      val_x = AM335X_TS_XMAX - readx1; 
    }

    Now im looking to get the buttons to work...

    BR, Trunes

    Hello Georgi!

    Yes, the buttons are working now :)

    I changed the GPIO-Pin numbers in the "board-am335evm.c" to following numbers:

    /* Configure GPIOs for Volume Keys */
    static struct gpio_keys_button lcd_cape_gpio_buttons[] = {
     {
     .code = KEY_MENU,
     .gpio = GPIO_TO_PIN(1, 17),
     .active_low = true,
     .desc = "menu",
     .type = EV_KEY,
     .wakeup = 1,
     },
     {
     .code = KEY_POWER,
     .gpio = GPIO_TO_PIN(1, 19),
     .active_low = true,
     .desc = "power",
     .type = EV_KEY,
     .wakeup = 1,
     },
     {
     .code = KEY_BACK,
     .gpio = GPIO_TO_PIN(1, 16),
     .active_low = true,
     .desc = "back",
     .type = EV_KEY,
     .wakeup = 1,
     },
    };


    Now the LCD 7 Cape works perfect with Android 4.0.3 ;-)
