So, I have finally got back into it and here’s the findings:
I can’t get a stable version of buster running on the pi zero 2. Maybe it just won’t or(more likely) I’m just bad. Won’t even post on the power LED no matter what version of buster I got my hands on.
Note: I have been doing all of this over ssh as I do not have a micro hdmi adapter
The good news:
The link that ahnlak posted above was a treasure trove of help. One user on that forum in particular, Gadgetoid. This golden child is currently writing a driver to get things working correctly for the hyperpixel on bullseye, sans a bunch of tweaking.
His quick fix just to get rolling:
Commenting out “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” in config.txt will get the hyperpixel 4 square to work on bullseye with some loss of functionality. I encourage anyone with this same or similar issue to follow the link ahnlak posted. I will be popping in often to see what he comes up with.
Again thank you guys very very much for your help!
