Waveshare 5" DSI - Touch does not work - - ECELO - 05-20-2024

With the MoOde 8.3.9 version, the Waveshare DS1 5" screen works normally, while with the new version of MoOde 9, the screen activates, but without the Touch functionality. Everything else seems to work well apart from some difficulties in setting the WIFI network if set in STATIC. In DHCP mode, the connection occurs quite quickly. However, I will check the parameters of my internet network as it could depend on my configuration and not on the new MoOde 9 even if everything worked without problems with the previous version. Furthermore, the backlight is very dim compared to the previous build.

I'll answer myself, I found the solution for the non-recognition of the touchscreen.

In /boot/firmware/config.txt you need to add the following line dtoverlay=rpi-ft5406 after dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d. The touch screen returns to working normally.

Nice find. What link had that info?

Hi Tim, I provided all the information possible to ChatGPT and among the various options it also provided the solution. I don't always trust his answers, but in this case I have to say that he was completely right! In my FB group which deals with RPI DAC and almost exclusively promotes your wonderful software, I have already provided the solution, but it would be appropriate to include it in a future update.

lol, are you sure ChatGPT is a man?

The challenge with these displays is they all have different settings. If a table could be created listing the manufacturer, model and the settings required I might be able to turn it into a feature :-)

basically all compatible touch displays for raspberry use the FT5406 controller which must necessarily be enabled to load the kernel driver

I can add that as an option. Added to the TODO list.

Great thanks! I'm currently helping my users who find themselves stuck for this very reason and with different screens, I see that it works regularly. So the controller is probably always the same, except perhaps for a few rare exceptions. Now another small problem arises, it is not possible to configure a wifi connection in STATIC mode, but only in DHCP. Do you by any chance have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Huh? Static mode works for me.  Just tried it again on a fresh 9.0 install to be sure.

Are you sure you entered the correct information needed----static address, network mask, gaterway address, at least a primary DNS address if not both primary and secondary?

Yes, I entered all the correct parameters, the same ones I used without problems with version 8.3.9. The connection is visible with a network scanner, but it is impossible to access the web server even via an SSH connection. It's not just me who has this problem, but also some users in my FB group who have reported the exact same bug.   The only way to access via wifi is to put the connection in DHCP
