Batocera 5.25 / Tinkeboard / Kintaro Case

Sdc77

Hi everyone. I just swapped out my rpi3b with Recalb... to a more powerful Asus Tinkerboard and Batocera 5.25 in a Kintaro Super Ursus case (Snes Pal). I tried to install the Kintaro script https://github.com/MichaelKirsch/Kintaro-Recalbox without, succes, I got on puTTY the following error message : "spidev or gpio not installed".
By the way I changed the lne 7 in the kintaro.py file "import RPi.GPIO" to "import ASUS.GPIO", but no success.
It seens that GPIOs are off on Batocera/Tinkerboard ?
Any help here please ?

@Sdc77 This needs to be included then.
Afaik it is not included to BATOCERA build. @nadenislamarre Can we cross-compile and add the binaries into a Kintora package for Tinkerboards?

Edit:
Hold on.... there are some precompiled one available von ASUS.
Please check out this zip package

Thanks, unfortunately, I don't have knownelge to do this. I will wait for update.
I've noticed (unfortunately) that Batocera is not yet fully optimized for Tinker board :

N64 has alot of slow-down (my previous system : rpi3b (not plus) with extreme overclock runs better with an old RBox 4.xx
Dreamcast is unplayable on every game I have. (was playable on a few games with rpi3b)
Naomi/Atomiswave have alot of slow-down
PCFX - Saturn are unplaybale. Its seems like I try to run them on a Pi, instead of this powerful SBC
I'm a little bit desapointed of this combo (Batocera/Tinker board) and will back to Rpi3b for the moment as it runs better on N64 and Dreamcast, and it works with the Kintaro case (switches all runs) :(

Finaly got all above mentionned emulator fixed on 1 afternoon. Instead of "auto" in emulator, I've selected Flycast for atomisewave/Naomi/Dreamcast, some games are more than playable, Yabasanshiro for Saturn and don't remember which one for N64, but no more "auto" for sure.

Now I really hope GPIO binaries will be added to net Batocera update for the Tinkerboard, and maybe also the Kintaro script ? Or at least a line to activate in the botocera.conf to make it run ? Can be adde to rpi3 as well.
And fixing non working internal bluetooth.
Cheers

Hey guys, any hope to see GPIO active on next 5.26 update on Tinkerboard ? With integrated Retroflag + Kintaro cases ?

Sdc77 Active GPIO and safe shutdown with Tinkerboard and Retroflag cases would be awesome :)

Agreed !!!

Any word on this? Or how to make the safe shutdown script work at all? (Tinkerboard/ retroflag)
