Raspberry Pi 3 with Official 7" LCD Display using Version 0.5.3

ChrisSparks

I have tried to install this version as well and it was not successful. I am going to try and buy a brand new SDCARD.

IKS

I'm sorry to hear that. I'll create a full image for Win32DiskImager next week and let you try it. But I can't imagine the cause to be our installer. We need to get the logs to know more. If you can't send us a video, you can try uploading it to a some streaming service and posting a link here.

IKS

You don't need anything except a screen to boot the system. I'd suggest you disconnect all external devices (USB, Ethernet, whatever) and boot it just with HDMI monitor connected.

ChrisSparks

A full image sounds great. I'll try the HDMI.

ChrisSparks

I had another SDCARD and I did use the HDMI cable to my PC monitor. Still badness. One thing I noticed in the output is that there was a reference to bcm2836_arm_irqchip_handle_irq (because it was throwing exceptions on all cores). And the Hardware name was BCM2835. So my question is do I have a compatible RPi3? I'll try and get snap shots of the screens on here later. I have to run to hospital.

Can you make a close-up picture of your raspberry board?

Well, your board should be fine. Its the same revision I have. But kernel panic won't be fixed by using a full image. We need to find out why it is crashing. It looks like there is a race condition in the kernel, which isn't happening on our devices. Any chance you can post an intermediate screenshot with kernel output before 2.08? There might be the crash reason.

i'll try make a video

This is the best I could do. I don't see any info before 2.08.

same here, after the kernel, it's just restarting itself, i'll make a video when i come home

ChrisSparks

Thanks Ivan. I thought I was the only one!

try different switching adapters with 5.1v / 2.5a maybe the volts can't reach the power going to the screen after starting the kernel. make sure that the connecting pins are correct and not loose.

i used the official rpi3 switching adapters and works fine now after i flash the latest version of Emteria. the one that i used before is below 5.1v maybe this is cause of the problem, you should give it a shot and let me know.

ChrisSparks

My double USB adapter says 5.2V at 3.1A. One is for the LCD and one is for the Pi. I don't have any issues using Raspbian.

IvanNuestro

please use switching adapter of rpi 3, rpi3 should give 5v power to screen. i only have 1 adapter plug on the socket. what is the specific model of you official raspberry screen?

ChrisSparks

I don't know what this switching adapter is but I am pretty sure I am using what came with my RPi3

ChrisSparks

Been away for a few days because I got a virus on my PC and it forced me to rebuild it from the ground up (software).

@ChrisSparks, I've sent you a private message with some clarifying questions.
