My first project is to use our Samsung smart screen as a <a href="https://github.com/drummonds/gophoto">photo display</a>.</p> <p>It has taken a little while to work out how to use effectively use gokrazy from WSL and here are some of my notes.</p> <ol> <li>When building the initial image you can use <code>gok -i hello overwrite --full x.img --target_storage_bytes=1258299392</code> to output to a file rather than a device which allows you to export the img from from wsl and burn on Windows. Attaching an sd card to the WSL instance I found tricky.</li> <li>To cross compile and update I used <code>CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=arm64 gok -i hello update</code> for a raspberry pi 3B+.</li> </ol> <h2 id="solved-problems">Solved Problems</h2> <ul> <li>Using Task to store required cross compile flag configuration.</li> <li>Changing DNS server on router to change DNS entries of DHCP names.</li> </ul> <h2 id="current-problems">Current Problems</h2> <h3 id="monitor-fails-after-a-time-on-my-samsung-95q55-screen">Monitor fails after a time on my Samsung 95Q55 screen.</h3> <p>It works after uploading but then goes to a state overnight (power saving ?) which the TV doesn&rsquo;t recognise.</p>
