Partial refresh error! about gratis HOT 10 OPEN

It looks like you are using an older version of Python currently the code runs on 2.7.11.
If you can please update ad you should be ok, if you cannot update and need to continue with older Python version then you will need to change one line in the demo/EPD.py file

Modify line 194 which reads: f.write(image.tobytes()) to be: f.write(image.tostring())

from gratis.

Thanks,
I did modify as u suggested. No changes on display. :( But the code isn't throwing any errors.

I am having problems with BBB, I updated and it no longer boots, I will recover an older image and try that

from gratis.

I put the old image at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByAJ8vCbYBDgTTNLcUVjZVlJcnc/view?usp=sharing

dowload and name it as bbb-1.44.img.xz then extract to an SD card:

$ xz -d < bbb-1.44.img.xz | dd bs=64M of=/dev/sdX

replace /dev/sdX with the right drive to access the USB card writer (be careful!)

The image is 2GB so the card need to be at least this size.

Note: SHA256 of image and its compressed version:

fae9e587a9b51092d05613479aab7a5337b5ab097975851c0f5b13151336362d  bbb-1.44.img

There are just root/root and repaper/repaper accounts in the image. repaper will run a tmux session.

I have a problem on first start, the epd-fuse fails when counter demo is started but restarting it once seems to be enough, maybe I have it starting too ealy in the boot sequence.

$ python2 CounterDemo.py 1234
# failure here
$ sudo systemctl restart epd-fuse
$ python2 CounterDemo.py 1234

Please try if possible it will determine if your hardware is working.

I have tried to update this image, but the latest kernel hangs, even though I removed the device tree file before updating.

from gratis.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I shall try these things and post the update asap. And also in the near future, i would like to port it to kernel 4.1.13 as my target hardware runs this version. Any suggestions on workarounds to port?

from gratis.

Maybe will need to update the device tree file for newer kernel, I used cape universal in this old image and the file is: /lib/firmware/cape-universal-00A0.dtbo

from gratis.

Thanks,
Am taking care of the device tree stuffs. Anything else in specific to look into?

The only thing seems to be that epd-fuse is crashing on first use, not sure why possible systemd service starts it at the wrong time (too early?). Also need to set the service file to restart it on failure. I am using Arch so not sure if this applies to your system (perhaps you use sysvinit or upstart)
