No mouse or keyboard ability #34
Description
- [No] I am running an official build of SHRP, downloaded from https://shrp.team/devices
- [As of Oct.30 source] I am running the latest version of SHRP
- [Various informations from twrp] I have searched for my issue and it does not already exist
Device codename: Allwinner T8
SHRP version: Not sure. Can't get that far. (source from Oct. 30)
**SHRP Official status: ** Unofficial. I compiled from source and built my own device tree
WHAT STEPS WILL REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM?
I built from source with a device tree I made, using the unit's pre-compiled kernel. Admittedly I'm not sure what I'm doing. I've never compiled a recovery before.
The device is a car stereo, generic chinese one-company-makes-a-bunch-and-they-get-rebranded situation. Depending on what specific ROM I go by, by majority, it's called Allwinner T8 "Octopus". The ro.board is sometimes called exdroid, octopus, t8_p2, auto. It's hard to give you anything specific based on build/default.prop because theres so many rebrands of the same device.
Anyways, I have a bootable SHRP image, it comes up to a screen that mentions unmodified system. I have no touch control, which is expected. I was only able to access the OEM recovery one time ever and that didn't even have touch support, but a usb mouse worked. I figured mouse/keyboard support was fairly standard so it didnt even cross my mind when I started figuring out how to compile a device tree and building SHRP myself. I'm freakin pumped that my first successful compile actually boots!? But sad that I can only get as far as that first screen. I'm not looking for touch support. As I mentioned, OEM recovery didn't even have touch-ability, I just want usb mouse/keyoard... Is there something I've missed? Is this an easy fix? Any help would be ultra appreciated. I'd be glad to upload my device tree and/or the compiled recovery image, if it would be helpful. Please let me know. I don't want to make it a public repo because those seem to disappear rather quickly.
Also, as an added bonus, so far I'm entirely unable to get ADB to see the device either in a running state or in recovery. The makers purposely crippled that functionality. The only USB-to-PC connection I've had any success with is Allwinner's version of download mode, which is how I installed my SHRP build. That being said, I unfortunately cannot attach any dmesg or logs.
