Probably makes sense to move the con2fbmap files down into this subdirectory, rather than adding an extra directory at the top-level? (but it's been a long time since I've messed around with Buildroot, so please accept my apologies if that wouldn't work!)

I put it at the same level as my rebootp package in PINN, keeping it separate from buildroot.

Fair enough, I'll defer this decision to @maxnet / @XECDesign

Not mine to make.
Just dropping by here as normal bystander, as someone mentioned my name :-)
Have not been involved with NOOBS in recent years.

Ditto. I was only mentioning your name because you have more recent buildroot experience than me. Apologies if I gave the wrong impression.

I've not tested this, but if it works I guess it'd be super-useful for Pi400 owners, where the HDMI0 / HDMI1 distinction isn't labelled 🙂 |
It's up to @XECDesign , but it might be worth making that a separate PR? Personally, I always prefer separate PRs for seperate "things". For those of us with rusty PS1 knowledge, could you tell us what the shell prompt looks like before and after this change? 🐚 |
That's where the idea came from. I built and tested it in NOOBS with DSI touchscreen, HDMI0 and HDMI1 connection combinations. It's already in PINN and working nicely. I haven't tested it with my pinn_init script for configuring the pimoroni hyperpixels, but those drivers need looking at anyway.
I thought about that, and I remembered that thought again, just after I'd squashed the commits ;) But hey, I can separate it out again if necessary. Before this change the shell prompt is just a '#' symbol. Nothing else. |

Many thanks! |

This modification allows NOOBS to automatically switch to the correct HDMI port according to which is connected to a monitor.
The precedence is: DSI, HDMI0, HDMI1.
I'm not sure if line recovery/init#42 is absolutely necessary, but I left it in.
(I also included setting PS1 in the root/.profile file, which I think helps anyone who decides to use the shell, but delete if you want)
