This is rather curious. I guess we have to figure out what is different about your setup. Are you using an SD image that we provide? Have you modified it in any way?

RE: Freeze on shutdown. - hardy - 03-02-2018

I've got a same problem. Just wrote the image to SD card and didn't modify anything.

Sorry for my bad english.

Are you guys using Freeplay Zero or Freeplay CM3?

RE: Freeze on shutdown. - hardy - 03-02-2018

I'm using Freeplay CM3.

RE: Freeze on shutdown. - Flavor - 03-03-2018

hardy, could you try this?

Pop the SD out, and pop it into your computer.  It should show up as a drive called 'boot'.

Download this file https://github.com/TheFlav/Freeplay-Support/raw/master/waveshare32b-fp.dtbo and place it in the boot drive under the /overlays/ directory.  There should already be a file there called
waveshare32b.dtbo

so after the download, you should have both of these
waveshare32b.dtbo
waveshare32b-fp.dtbo

Then, in the root of that boot drive, double-click on the config.txt file to edit it.  Change this line
dtoverlay=waveshare32b,speed=80000000,fps=60,rotate=270
to be
dtoverlay=waveshare32b-fp,speed=80000000,fps=60,rotate=270

Please let me know if that helps at all.

Many thanks for the prompt reply. I have done all the thing you ask, but it didn't work. My screen's still freeze on shutdown while power led's turned off. I have to turn off the power switch to shutdown the screen. Is it normal ?

Just like Mavinson said, it happen every 2-3 shutdowns.

I think it's not normal, but what do you mean by "have to turn off the power switch?"

Does your power switch spring back like a Nintendo DS or does it go on/off like a GBA?  It should be like a DS.
