Recalbox 8.0: (ERROR) : [SDL2] Fatal error initializing SDL2
-
@davidb2111 Oh wow, I'll try that!
-
I think it didn't enter recovery, even though I did the power-off-power-on-15-second loop at least 4 times ... can I trigger it manually? Also, it doesn't seem to come back to the network (it's LAN connected, but I can't reach the 'recalbox' host from the network anymore).
The screen shows 'Experimental Pi' twice while booting, then remains black.
I do have a keyboard connected, which I could use to press something to interrupt the failing boot sequence?
Thanks! @davidb2111

Ok, so you have things connected to GPIO. That may be the reason.
Could you connect through ssh and execute:/usr/bin/piboy-tester
David.

@fh1105
And to force boot without detecting case, you may:- set
case=none:1
in/boot/recalbox-boot.conf
- execute
rm -rf /overlay/upper/*
and reboot
- set
-
@fh1105
And finally, I've modified the code that detects the piboy. Could you please test it on your setup ?Simply put piboy-tester in /tmp of your recalbox and run
/tmp/piboy-tester
and give me the output.Thanks

Yes, this is it:
try 0, CRC error try 1, CRC error try 2, CRC error try 3, CRC error try 4, CRC error try 5, CRC error try 6, CRC error try 7, CRC error try 8, CRC error try 9, CRC error piboy not found

I tried this, but still the screen remains black.
- set

Before the modified tester, the output was:
CRC error 198

Hi @fh1105
Great news, that helps me a lot. I will include a fixed piboy-tester that will not wrongly detect a PiBoy when something is connected to GPIO.
At the moment, you can cleanup overlay and set
case=none:1
to disable autodection.
The fix will be included in the next release a few days (weeks)David

Hum, what type of screen do you have ?
Could you please executecat /sys/class/drm/card*/modes
and put result here ? -
@davidb2111 said in Recalbox 8.0: (ERROR) : [SDL2] Fatal error initializing SDL2:
cat /sys/class/drm/card*/modes
It's a HDMI-connected HD screen – normal 'office type'.
cat /sys/class/drm/card*/modes
returns nothing at all.
-
But here's me exploring that directory:
# pwd /sys/class/drm # ls card0 card0-HDMI-A-1 renderD128 version # cd card0-HDMI-A-1 # ls device edid modes status uevent dpms enabled power subsystem # cd modes -bash: cd: modes: Not a directory # ls device edid modes status uevent dpms enabled power subsystem # cat modes # cd .. # ls card0 card0-HDMI-A-1 renderD128 version # cd card0 # ls card0-HDMI-A-1 device subsystem dev power uevent # (modes in card0-HDMI1-A-1 is empty)

By the way: amazing support, @davidb2111! Thank you very much!!

Hi @fh1105
Seems edid does not report modes. Could you force the mode within
/boot/recalbox-user-config.txt
.hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=X
where X should be:
- 16 for 1080p
- 4 for 720p
- 1 for VGA mode (640x480, as a fallback)
Once started, if still no display, try adding this setting:
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
Hope this help.

Also, do you know the resolution of your TV? -
Hello!
Just a brief update, as I solved it by simply removing everything from my GPIO ports, and wiring my arcade buttons to a
Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder
– which then connects to the RPi's USB ports.
All good now! Thank you, and keep it up!
