help with LCD touch configuration using tslib
#1
Hi,

  I bought a Pine64+ board and screen, with a view to using it as a Squeezebox Touch replacement through a USB dac. The board ticks a lot of the hardware boxes for a Squeezebox Touch, with dedicated ethernet and USB ports/busses.

Armbian runs out of the box and supports the touchscreen - at least with legacy 3.10.104 kernel. With mainline kernel (4.10 at time of writing) touchscreen support is available through the generic "goodix" module, but this requires some extra configuration.  I have not yet evaluated the mainline kernel's readiness to run the system that I have in mind.

Using Armbian legacy  (3.10.104), I have installed the packaged Squeezelite from the Armbian repository and Jivelite compiles and runs without errors using

https://github.com/sindrom91/LuaJIT/tree/ARM64

Athough touch events work perfectly in Xfce, they are "all over the place" in Jivelite, so I'm trying to create a tslib/SDL calibration.


Just now I'm struggling with
"tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen (must support ABS and KEY event types)"

Googling throws up one or two bits of advice, such as:

From http://http://www.cubieforums.com/index....v.html#new:
Quote:Check if input-raw.c has:
    if ((ioctl(ts->fd, EVIOCGBIT(EV_ABS, sizeof(absbit)), absbit)) < 0 ||
       !(absbit[BIT_WORD(ABS_X)] & BIT_MASK(ABS_X)) ||
       !(absbit[BIT_WORD(ABS_Y)] & BIT_MASK(ABS_Y))) {
      /*fprintf(stderr, "tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen (must support ABS_X and ABS_Y events)\n");
      return -1;*/
    }

if not, edit the file and comment the lines."


and 
from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11937...-calibrate:

Quote:Try to add

input_dev = input_allocate_device();
[..]
set_bit(EV_ABS, input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(EV_KEY, input_dev->evbit);
So that the tslib sees the device as supporting both EV_ABS and EV_KEY events (even if it does not actually send both of those).

(I'm assuming this should also be in input-raw.c)

If I look at my own input-raw.c, I see:

Code:
static int check_fd(struct tslib_input *i) {         struct tsdev *ts = i->module.dev;         int version;         long evbit[BITS_TO_LONGS(EV_CNT)];         long absbit[BITS_TO_LONGS(ABS_CNT)];         long keybit[BITS_TO_LONGS(KEY_CNT)];         long synbit[BITS_TO_LONGS(SYN_CNT)];         if (ioctl(ts->fd, EVIOCGVERSION, &version) < 0) {                 fprintf(stderr, "tslib: Selected device is not a Linux input event device\n");                 return -1;         }         /* support version EV_VERSION 0x010000 and 0x010001          * this check causes more troubles than it solves here */         if (version < EV_VERSION)                 fprintf(stderr, "tslib: Warning: Selected device uses a different version of the event protocol than tslib was compiled for\n");         if ( (ioctl(ts->fd, EVIOCGBIT(0, sizeof(evbit)), evbit) < 0) ||                 !(evbit[BIT_WORD(EV_ABS)] & BIT_MASK(EV_ABS)) ||                 !(evbit[BIT_WORD(EV_KEY)] & BIT_MASK(EV_KEY)) ) {                 fprintf(stderr, "tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen (must support ABS and KEY event types)\n");                 return -1;         }         if ((ioctl(ts->fd, EVIOCGBIT(EV_ABS, sizeof(absbit)), absbit)) < 0 ||             !(absbit[BIT_WORD(ABS_X)] & BIT_MASK(ABS_X)) ||             !(absbit[BIT_WORD(ABS_Y)] & BIT_MASK(ABS_Y))) {                 if (!(absbit[BIT_WORD(ABS_MT_POSITION_X)] & BIT_MASK(ABS_MT_POSITION_X)) ||                     !(absbit[BIT_WORD(ABS_MT_POSITION_Y)] & BIT_MASK(ABS_MT_POSITION_Y))) {                         fprintf(stderr, "tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen (must support ABS_X/Y or ABS_MT_POSITION_X/Y events)\n");                         return -1;                 }         }         /* Since some touchscreens (eg. infrared) physically can't measure pressure,          * the input system doesn't report it on those.

and I can't see why the test is failing as

Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting the device calibrated?

I figure that if I (with help) can get this working, it might be an excellent and cheap squeezebox touch alternative.
