Hello,

Any news on the matter? Can I help with the bug fix?

@gdragotto, I haven't got back on this one. Open-source contributions are always welcome.
Meanwhile, you can check if adding display_hdmi_rotate=1 (see this documentation for reference) will work. Don't forget to reboot your Raspberry Pi after modifying /boot/firmware/config.txt (for Bookworm) or /boot/config.txt (for Bullseye and older).

Hi @nicomiguelino, thanks. It does not work unfortunately. I also played a bit with Anthias config, but still no luck from my side.

@gdragotto, I'll check what I can do. The C++ code probably needs tweaking. It might take a while, but I'll keep you posted on this one.

@gdragotto, this comment from #1537 might help. You can also check if the following line is commented out:

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

Pi 3B, Raspberry pi OS lite, latest Athias as of today

Commented out:
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
added:
display_hdmi_rotate=1

Result:

• Display is rotated
• Anthias falls back to logo after initial white screen instead of displaying assets.
• After about 5 min it actually starts displaying.

Weird behaviour, but at least its working finally

@qbicdesign,

• Did you reboot your device after modifying the config file?
• Can you provide some logs during the time when Anthias falls back to the standby screen (the logo)?

1. yes
2. please be more specific about which logs would likely be of interest
