I tried downloading juce source to an odroid-c1 and building the demo. It builds just fine, but when I try to run the resulting binary I get the following error:
ERROR: System doesn't support 32, 24 or 16 bit RGB display
I have done this on other sbc's (fruity pi names). Is this a display controller compatibility? Maybe a compiler option? Or just will not work on this machine?
Mark.
It just dawned on me that the display variable was probably not set up. I will try again this later today.
The DISPLAY is correct. DISPLAY=:0.0.
I setup remote desktop xrdp. Login from windows using rdp and it works. I can run the demo, introjucer, helloworld.
But I cannot get it to display on the console.
Anyone have any idea why?
You need to have at least a 16-bit colour display. xrdp by default sets up an 8-bit palette which is not compatible with JUCE. Try using "ssh -X" instead.
But xrdp works, it is the physical console that does not work. Do I need to change the way the desktop is started to get it configured for morebits of color? I think it just uses startx. (Not sure how this is setup. It was done automatically as part of the distro).
On the pi I needn't to add a parameter to the bootloader to change the colour depth. I think on most embedded systems you need to configure the framebuffer colour depth at boot time.
