Yeap it’s a good idea. I’ll have to find out from @goenjoy if the touchscreen will work properly on Ubuntu.
At the same time, how do you plan on using Ubuntu on such a tiny screen? Plug keyboard and mouse into the USB?
Are there Linux distros optimised for touchscreens?
Regarding some kind of LCD mount for VIM3, I’m wondering if a simpler approach would be more effective…something like using the same FR4 board to mount the screen.
I was going through some video of Raspberian with Higher resolution as per the screen size. Atleast it was able to make use of the touch screen as cursor input and dot basic stuff.
But If we can do something of around 7 -10 Inch screen it would make a perfect Tab with Full Size Linux. That was the whole point I started Tinkering with SBC.
Also I was thinking of Android with full Gamepad software support. As I couldnt find anything like that which can support Games like Pubg with a gamepad. I Saw a video of Nindendo Switch Android hack and the price of Old Switch increased. So I see there is a need for Android device with Gamepad(Joypad) integrated.
Demonstration steps
1,Edge-V Edge_Pie_V190816.7z firmware supports Dual screen abnormal display(hdmi + mipi or dp + mipi).
2,Download and Installation DualVideoScreen.apk
3,Copy an MP4 video to / sdcard / directory, named 123. mp4
4,Open the DualVideoScreen application and display the video on the secondary screen. The main screen can operate other applications normally
5,Click on DualVideoScreen again to turn off the dual-screen display
Would you be interested in making a Case which can Fit in the screen, a battery and Vim with heatsink atleast? To turn it into a portable Device? Maybe 7 or 10 inch screen in future designs?
