Great!

 

I went back and through tke Ozzmaker scripts again and all is working ...

I probably worried about things that were not problems

 

But did learn a little more about the latest Raspbian etc

 

Thanks very much to Mark for helping me.

Further update - on reading about how dtoverlays work

i did sudo vcdbg log msg

which showed it found the piscreen2 and loaded it.  (I also put dtdebug and boor again - which made this output very verbose

I also looked in the /boot/overlays directory and piscreen2r is there

I ran lsmod

which showed that fbtft was there but not piscreen2r (not sure it it shows overlays?)

I boot the PI in console mode and nothing comes up

what does happen is I get /dev/fb1  with an LS that I did not before

crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Nov 10 13:18 /dev/fb0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 1 Nov 10 13:18 /dev/fb1

I will go backand look at the piscreen doc to see if there is anything else to try

further research ...

 

This is in the log …..

 

Do we use the fbtft module ?

Also

=====

 

 

I’m not sure if this - https://github.com/notro/fbtft/blob/master/fbtft_device.c

 

Is where Raspbian get the driver support – but it has piscreen but not piscreen2

 

I’m going to try regressing my version of Raspbian

 

But I already know that my Pi 3 wont work son some older versions of Raspbian – it just hangs during the boot on the rainbow screen

I have attached the dmseg output on d3.txt

in the config.txt I also enablea the i2c and set the overclock - need that for other part of my project

but there was no reference to any of these or the dtoverlay  in the log, it looks the boot is exiting or ignoring some of the config.txt before it is finshed ?

what could make that happen ?
