Edge2 with TS050 touchscreen

Oh okay yeah I can definitely say it’s more than 12 watts maybe 20-24 about I had battery pack that was 12 watts and the device would run but crashed often so now I use a 30 watt AC adapter

Interesting. I have a portable travel display from Asus which I think they’ve since discontinued (MB168B), and it reportedly only draws 7w. I was thinking of pairing it with my edge2 pro; I’ve monitored my usage and mine idles at around 2.7-3w, and ramps to ~10w under load.

I’ve gotten my travel display to work on a Linux desktop, but it doesn’t want to work on my edge2. Typical, but I mostly use the edge2 headless anyway when I’m at home. So I ask because I’m more interested for a low power on-the-go display solution.

Thanks for your observations!

@numbqq I just connected my TS050 to my just-received Edge 2 Pro Maker. I had edited /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-khadas-edge2.dtb.overlay.env to include fdt_overlays=mipi-panel, sync’ed and rebooted. The Edge 2 powers up but there is no display on the LCD panel. I’ve completely powered off and powered back on, with no change. I can feel the top of the display getting warm. Is there any further debugging I can do?

A coupe of other details - I can see that the backlight on the LCD panel comes on, and if I connect an HDMI monitor, it shows the desktop (Ubuntu, second display, i.e. no taskbar). I’ve tried two separate FPCs to connect them.

Hello @Andrew_Ernest

Which image you used?

Please double check your hardware connection is correct.

@numbqq I am using the latest ubuntu image from OOWOW. I’m pretty sure I’m got the connections correct - please see image attached

It seems that the MIPI LCD is not enabled.

Please provide more information to us.

Hello @Andrew_Ernest

Do you use the Desktop image or Server image?

Can you try to remove the MIPI Screen and provide the information to us?

$ sudo -i
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/summary 


Please pardon the screenshot. With the LCD disconnected, for some reason the Wifi would not connect for me to ssh into.

@Andrew_Ernest are you using server image ? Do you have any issue with ts050 connected with desktop os ?

I am using the desktop OS

@Andrew_Ernest I will share a new firmware for you to test by next week, we can check then.

Regards.

@Andrew_Ernest can you try this firmware ?

please share all the details like earlier, for debugging.
regards.
