Hi, I am using this development board https://www.variscite.com/products/evaluation-kits/dart-6ul-kits/ And https://github.com/balena-os/balena-variscite v2.29.2+rev4 Is there any balena App example that use the LCD in this Dart 6UL imx6 board? Any help is appreciated it.

Hi @rlev , are you building your image yourself? As in production the latest version for the Dart 6UL board is 2.13.6+rev2, if I’m not mistaken. Currently 2.29.2+rev3 is in testing, but not yet released.

Yes I am building my own DEVELOPMENT images for dart-6ul imx6 based on the balena variscite repo from github. Also I am using openbalena as a backend.

Okay, thanks @rlev ! Just asking as that version is not yet released in production, you can see the latest version (and download it, including dev versions) from https://www.balena.io/os/#download As per @floion ’s question, how did you deploy the project, have you made any modifications yourself?

Sure thing, @rlev , keep us posted! In the meantime, it sounds like that a closely similar version as yours was working for us, so the issue might be on the application side indeed. How did you deploy the project, have you made any modifications yourself?

I have a backend instance of openbalena which I used to deploy non-gui applications and works well.

@rlev sorry, that we weren’t clear enough. We meant the example application. As @floion mentioned above that he tested with this project and seems to work: https://github.com/balena-io/resin-electronjs did you have a chance to try to deploy that, and see if it worked for you like it did for us, or r…

Using balena variscite v2.29.2 rev4 works. [20190307_220241_HDR] I will use this app as a template. @imrehg and @floion Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

I forgot to ask one question : Is the touchscreen support included in the XServer installed?
