Foibles for installing on the Pi Zero (not Zero 2w)

[dmgursky]

Has anyone successfully gotten picframe installed and running on a Pi Zero?

I can install picframe on a Zero (the major issue is that I needed to install libheif and libopenblas) but (a) it is incredibly slow and (b) I cannot get autologon to work (no issues on my Pi 5 based picframes). What am I missing here?

Hi, I've not managed to get libheif working - if you can convert your images to jpeg on a laptop that would simplify things.

Have you worked your way through other posts on here such as #570

What do you mean by autologon? Are you setting up as per Wolfgang's website?

The issue was not my images(they are all JPEG), but the install failed b/c the two libraries could not be found. David Gursky • Washington, DC [EMail] • [Facebook] • [LinkedIn]
