Q: | Q: Why OLED is not display? | ||
</div> | </div> | ||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | ||
A: | A: Please follow the steps below to check | ||
</ | |||
</ | 1. Please confirm that the OS is correct according to your Raspberry Pi version: | ||
Due to downloading the wrong firmware, the OLED cannot be displayed. We ALSO made such mistakes during testing | |||
*For Raspberry Pi 4 : https://pikvm.org/download/ | |||
[[File:Pi4-V3-HAT.png|800px]] | |||
*For Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W : https://docs.pikvm.org/flashing_os/ | |||
[[File:PiKVM V2 Platform.png|800px]] | |||
2. Please check if the order of OLED screen pins is correct, please email to support@geekworm.com if it's a wrong pin order; | |||
[[File:OLED-IMG-4373-1.jpg|800px]] | |||
The run the following command to check the I2C address | |||
sudo i2cdetect -y 1 | |||
<pre> | |||
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f | |||
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3c -- -- -- | |||
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | |||
</pre> | |||
3c is a hexadecimal number, it is the I2C address of OLED, if you can’t find this value, please shut down and reconnect shield and OLED, then run this command again, If you still can't find the OLED's I2C address, the OLED screen may be damaged. | |||
'''PS''': Since the i2cdetect tool is not installed by default in pikvm os, you need to install it first. You can install it through the following command | |||
<pre> | |||
pikvm-update | |||
rw | |||
pacman -S i2c-tools -y | |||
</pre> | |||
4. Then run the following command to enable OLED display: | |||
rw | |||
systemctl enable --now kvmd-oled | |||
ro | |||
'''5.''' Please refer to https://geekworm.com/community/forum/topic/200314/kvm-a3-096-oled-display-is-dead if you can't solve the question. | |||

Q. Does [[KVM-A8]] support passive heatsink such as (P165-A or P165-B etc) instead of fan? | Q: How to do if [[KVM-A8]] hangs up or reboot or has to be started manually? | ||
</div> | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
A. The [[KVM-A8]] hardware itself does not cause the system to reboot, and [[KVM-A8 shield is controled by raspberry pi 4; | |||
'''Please ensure these keys:''' | |||
1. The [https://pikvm.org/download/ PiKVM OS version] is correct; | |||
2. Check & use a high-quality power supply; | |||
3. Whether the raspberry pi 4 temperature is too high; | |||
4. Contact us via email to support@geekworm.com | |||
