Hi, I have the appropriate FPC cable and have connected the Radxa 5inch LCD to my Rock 5b. I enable the overlay and reboot. An image appears, but it stops and repeats. After 10 seconds or so, the display turns off completely and it will not show again until I reboot.
I’m running the latest official Debian Bullseye build 39.
It is unclear if you can log in to the desktop and do something within 10 seconds.
if not, 7inch and 5 inch have different timings , this can be the problem.
if you can, try (in Xfce):
menu Aplications/Settings/Power manager and disable everything on Display
and try in Desktop command line:
sudo xset dpms 0 0 0
sudo xset s off
sudo xset -dpms
sudo xset s off
sudo xset s noblank
BTW, how did you attach the rock 5b to the 5 inch display? Can you show the picture?
Thank you. I have applied the power settings, but the display continues to turn off. I think perhaps it is turning off because of the incorrect timings.
Hi Micheal,
have you found a solution to your problem.
I am trying to get a 4,3" Waveshare MIPI DSI display work on a Rock 5B with the same issue. I have chosen the raspberry 5" display. The Rock boots into the logon screen, touch is working to. But after 10 seconds the display turns black.
We are developing a device based on a rock 5B and were in need of a small display. Today we made a hugh step to use a SPI display with touch. The MIPI DSI display was just a fallback idea, if the 3,5 won’t work.
