Batocera Linux 5.7 not working in Odroid C2

oneal3000

Hi, I am trying to write in a Micro SD the last Batocera version (5.7) in my Odroid C2.

Normally, I use "dd" from linux. The command I used it was:

sudo dd if=output/images/recalbox/recalbox.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=40M; sync

This command is in the wiki https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/wiki/doku.php?id=en:compile_batocera.linux

The problem is that I can't pass splash screen (screen where you can see batocera title). EmulationStation never starts. I didn't have this problem with Batocera 5.6.

Also, I had the same problem with the last beta.

Anybody can helpme please?, anybody can entry in EmulationStation?

Thank you very much.

Hi @nadenislamarre how are you? I hope fine 😉. I wanted to ask you help, @ryguar and me are trying to use Batocera 5.7. Our problem is that EmulationStation never start and we only see splash screen (the screen with batocera title and black background).

We use Odroid C2. I try to used to burn image in micro sd the command:
sudo dd if=path/to/batocera.img of=/dev/sdb bs=40M; sync

I am thinking... Is posible we need a special microsd type? I use a micro sd XC I.

Thank you very much!! 😉

i will retry the c2 image, but i've upgraded and it worked correctly for me.

Hey guys, I'm having the exact same issue ... where can we download 5.6 version for C2? Thanks!

can you install 5.6 and upgrade to 5.7 from the interface ?
it's what i've done to test. it should work and confirm that the .img 5.7 may have an upload error.

Thanks! Installing 5.6 and upgrading to 5.7 worked flawlessly. I'm having high input lag in every emulators using an xbox 360 controller wirelessly. Any suggestions or idea of what the problem could be? Thanks!

I had that same problem too, so i connected the Odroid-C2 with the Internet and tried the Upgrade option from the Interface. It works without any problems.

nadenislamarre

did this lag happend before 5.7 ?
input lag is generally related to the tv post filter. disabling effects on your tv generally solve the problem.

trashdinner

nadenislamarre Putting my tv in Gaming mode reduced the lag (my tv now has only 20ms lag) but it seems like either the emulator or the controller is still producing more lag than it should. I didn't try it on 5.6 since I'm a new user and upgraded to 5.7 straight. Is there any ways to play with a DS4 or DS3 plugged in? I couldn't get them to work and I'd like to see if it fixes the lag. Thanks!!

nadenislamarre

@trashdinner first, check the lag outside the emulator directly at the kernel level :
1) log to the batocera via ssh
2) start evtest, choose your pad
3) press a button, and see how long it takes to appear.

Installing 5.6 and then upgrading to 5.7 worked for me too. When I'd installed 5.7 initially, I did only see the splash screen but not even the version number in the lower left corner. That appeared with 5.6 and stayed on after upgrading to 5.7. Problem now is, that my wired PS3 Dualshock 3 controller is not recognized...

nadenislamarre

ok, since 5.7 and gcc upgrade, it looks like that the uboot blob is not correctly generated.
i've built a 5.8 for the c2 with the uboot generated with a lower gcc version.
it works. i'll release c2 image after more tests, and i'll see how to fix to make it compile out of the box.
thanks again for this report.

Is the 20170629 image the New 5.8 version?

nadenislamarre

yes.
but it's not yet finnished to be uploaded/tested.
but you can test it if you want.

Does anyone have a sollution about the PS3 controller for Odroid C2?

I have 2 PS3 joysticks, but it doesn't work using usb cable or bluetooth adapter...

I'm thinking sell my board, because I bought it thinking this program would run better than in Raspberry, but I can't use my ps3 joysticks unfortunatelly.

nadenislamarre

no. i know that some pads have troubles on the c2.
the error in the kernel looks related to the powerage, but it's quite strnage and not found something about it.
