I was after 7 inches for the project I was doing, and after watching the Raspberry Pi 7 inches worked with Tinker Board I though the price would be great. I want to use Android, but I can't get a touchscreen to work with the current V13.11.0.4 ASUS Android image. I tested asUS Debian build and touchscreen features fine with this. Does anyone know how to turn on the touchscreen on Android build? Cheers Brett Any have luck with this or even know if it is possible? I was banging my head against a brick wall, trying to make it work. (06-26-2017, 03:47 AM)skidder13 posted: --------------------anyone who has any luck with this or even know if it's possible?

The screen worked beautifully for me, EXCEPT touch functionality. I'm trying to build a system for Plex and Wink to control my home.

I just connected the touch wires to GPIO and launched Android. Unable to activate touchscreen. Is thare any procedure for activating GPIO for touch screen? Idem with Android? Sorry if I noobie and thanks for your support in another thread, I was informed that the standard touchscreen using the USB connector work fine. Official RPI 7 7 doesn't use the USB connector, but DSI/GPIO. It seems that Android does not activate or recognize this touchpad driver. One solution would be to convert the official RPI TS connection into USB. I'll investigate if there's a way to interface the SCL/SDA wires from the RPI 7TS to the USB connector. Another option is to get Androiod able to use the DSI or GPIO interface. I have absolutely no knowledge of Android, any help will be appreciated on the RPI forums, I noticed that some experts from Aachen made an Android image capable of running Android with the official RPI touchscreen. I have pretty zero knowledge about Android, but I'm convinced that if it can work fine on RPI it should be the same with TB. Does anyone know how to activate touch functions through the DSI port on Android? Thank you for your support.

Did you know that a standard touchscreen using a USB connector called I would buy a touchscreen display for testing. Or if you don't know, maybe you could link to this other topic since I can't find it. Thank you! Page 2 Brands ASUS Tinker Tip is a phenomenal raspberry pi competitor. Alternatively, the Raspberry Pi, ASUS Tinker Board boasts eMMC compatibility, a thriving community and many different operating system (OS) options. Similarly, the Raspberry Pi benefits from a massive community, phenomenal hardware, and software support, as well as an affordable price. So while each board definitely carries its own set of pros and cons, the two boards are pretty much even. There are many ASUS Tinker Board projects, from a retro game console to a basic Linux PC and even a music server. Learn how to make the ASUS Tinker Board Android desktop for gaming, home theater PC (HTPC) functionality, and more! What is the ASUS Tinker Board? ASUS Tinker Board is a one-board computer (SBC) that comes with RAM, processor, GPU and all baked components. Just add a compatible ASUS Tinker Board and you're ready to go. At its core, the ASUS Tinker Board includes the Rockchip RK3288 Cortex-A17 quad-core system on the chip (SoC), the ARM Mali-T764 GPU with 4K video output, and 2GB of DDR2. There's 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, 40-pin gpIO headline, GPIO, MiPI CSI slot and micro USB power port. The CHOICE in favor of ASUS Tinker Board S adds HDMI-CEC, 16GB of eMMC, low-voltage input detection and automatic audio switching. ASUS Tinker Board Specifications: Rockchip RK3288 Cortex-A17 quad-core SoC ARM Mali-T764 GPU with up to 4K video support 2GB DDR3 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.0 x USB 2.0 Ports 15-0 Contact MIPI CSI Slot 40-Contact GPIO Headline Micro USB Power Port ASUS Tinker Board S (just like ASUS Tinker Board Plus): 16GB eMMC HDMI-CEC Low-voltage detection input plug-in Detection, Audio Automatic Switch How to make ASUS Tinker Board Android PC ASUS Tinker Board Android PC is pretty simple and easy to do. First, you'll need either ASUS Tinker Board or ASUS Tinker Board S. In addition, you'll need a download carrier, either a microSD card or an eMMC module, depending on whether you chose ASUS Tinker Board vs. ASUS Tinker Board S. The ASUS Tinker Board case is optional, but recommended. Aside from the enclosure, download environment, and Tinker board itself, the Android Tinker Board desktop requires compatible micro USB power, Android images, peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, and internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. What you need for ASUS Tinker Board Android PC: ASUS Tinker Board or Tinker Board S ASUS Tinker Board Case Boot Medium (microSD card, eMMC module) Peripheral devices (keyboard, mouse) Compatible Power Source Etcher (or other image montage software) Start by taking the headline to the official ASUS Tinker Board and uploading the image. This is an IMG lightning file, so you first need to unpack the compressed image. Once this is complete, use a program such as Etcher to mount an Android ASUS Tinker Board image on a microSD or eMMC. When the installation process is complete, pop the boot environment and place it in your ASUS Tinker board. Then, power on your device. Practical with Android on ASUS Tinker Board TinkerOS Android is pretty minimal with just a few pre-installed default apps. There is a web browser, calculator, video player, music player, watch and several other apps. That being said, it's quite a stock Android experience. While TinkerOS Android is a tablet or touchscreen optimized version of Android, it looks sharp on a projector, TV or monitor. This is different from the Android TV OS Slash TV build for Tinker Board, which is pre-loaded with tons of apps such as Netflix, Cody, and RetroArch Plus running Android TV for a 10-foot user interface. Navigating TinkerOS Android with a keyboard or mouse works very well. Although there is no Google Play Store or other store such as Aptiode, it's pretty easy to sideload Android apps as well as store apps. For ASUS Tinker Board Android Play Store functionality, the first open settings are the menu's access to unknown apps. Then you have to be ready to install app applications unknown sources. Then run the APKInstaller app, and when asked to share an external reading/record store, select Ok. When asked to allow APKInstaller access to photos, media and files on your device, the hit allow. Now you can choose Intall, Control or Exit. Select Set and go to a folder containing your APK.
