Asus Tinker Board

@Snille Have you find tvservice equivalent? I cannot find how to turn on/off display programmatically on TB.
Will tvservice building work?

could use a hand as there doesn’t seem to be much support in the community which is odd!

Got one today, loaded a fresh sd card with a fresh install of their newest os and i can’t get it to boot! It swirls around and around for a while loading different things but eventually just crashing:/ Anyone else have this issue? Power supply?

@ranger33 maybe. Over 2.5A is recommended.

@Sean Oh, I missed your comment. I have not clue. :) Have not yet tested the turn off stuff. :)

@Snille I currently use xset. it works well.

Sean, how do you use xset for turning the display on and off? I have set up my tinker board and all works great but the display. I tried to set up a crontab scheduled job with python script but I cannot get it to work. I have a script with “xset dpms force off” in it and it works through cmd window, but I cannot get it to work on a schedule.

@jasondreher
Well, I didn’t try like that, but I think it is related to your python script. How about using shell script for xset dpms force off?

have you guys also experienced problems with OpenGL? I used the standard MagicMirror install script and did not compile it from scratch:

everything works just fine, but ht pm2_error.log shows this and I assume performance could be increased by solving that

libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
libGL error: unable to load driver: rockchip_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: rockchip
