Greg, I am not entirely sure why you are including a machine configuration include file into your conf/local.conf file. However, the "include" directive is optional include and hence if the file is no

I apologize if I missed any communication on this mailing list but what are the plans for a presence of YP at ELC NA in August in San Diego this year? Unfortunately, I missed the deadline for submitti

Hi Andrea, I was intending to bring the whole gokart. It's more fun to see the speedometer go up when you push down on the pedal and the regen to kick in when letting go etc. Everybody has seen hundre

Hi Andrea, Great. I can bring some wooden blocks to prop up the rear-end. People could sit in it and spin the wheels. :rjs

Thank you, Andrei. Much appreciated. https://pastebin.com/bHUHaRkL It's the config.txt that is packaged with the image. :rjs

Thank you, Paul. I did read Andrei's excellent documentation and enabled I2C and SPI etc. :rjs

No, unfortunately not. HDMI works just fine but no video on the touch display.

Thanks, Khem. 64 bit, raspberrypi3-64 machine with vc4graphics.

I tried to build for 32 bit with: Build Configuration: BB_VERSION = "1.43.0" BUILD_SYS = "x86_64-linux" NATIVELSBSTRING = "universal" TARGET_SYS = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi" MACHINE = "raspberrypi3" DIS

Khem, Yes, the 32-bit image (raspberrypi3 machine) works. :rjs
