I would like to report some progress on the weatherdisplay on the Glo HD:

Regarding the problem with textrendering I made the following observations:

• Outputting an empty string like "" worked
• Output of a single charakter like "T" worked
• Output of more than one charakter like "Test" failed
• Output with antialiasing turned off always worked - I can live with that so far

Regarding the pygame.display.set_mode requiring a ctrl-c I found a "hack" on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...o-init-display where a keyboard-interrupt is issued: I implemented this into the script and it works for me.

After adjusting the coordinates of the textfields and the graphics I manage to get the Glo HD to display a weatherforecast when I call the pythonscript from the telent-console.

Aftter that I tried the following:

• Run the script in a loop, refreshing every 5
  minutes for testing purposes. This works for a while but breaks after about half an hour to an hour.
• Experimenting with rtcwake. Interestingly calling

  rtcwake -m mem -s 1800

  works out of the box on the Glo HD. I.e. the device wakes up. I verified this by refreshing the screen and writing some log entries. BUT: I don't manage to get the wifi running again.
• I did not unload the wifi-modules because I get an error-message if I try to "insmod" them after the wake-up (probably missing environment variables?). Since lsmod tells me that they are still loaded I thought it should work without prior unloading. By the way the paths to the wifi-modulse differ on the Glo HD

  	INTERFACE=eth0
  	WIFI_MODULE=dhd
  	WIFI_MODULE_PATH=/drivers/mx6sl-ntx/wifi/dhd.ko
  	PLATFORM=mx6sl-ntx
  	WIFI_MODULE_PATH=/drivers/mx6sl-ntx/wifi/dhd.ko
  	PRODUCT=alyssum

• Using the following code for restarting the wifi

  ifconfig eth0 up 
  sleep 10
  wlarm_le -i eth0 up 
  sleep 5
  wlarm_le -i wl0 up
  sleep 10
  wpa_supplicant -s -i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -C /var/run/wpa_supplicant -B sleep 2 
  udhcpc -S -i eth0 -s /etc/udhcpc.d/default.script -t15 -T10 -A3 -f -q

  after the wakeup I get the following errors

  wakeup from "mem" at Mon Mar  7 19:22:23 2016
  
  wlarm_le: wl driver adapter not found
  wlarm_le: wl driver adapter not found

  ioctl[SIOCGIWMODE]: Invalid argument
  ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument
  udhcpc (v1.22.0.kobo) started

  Sending discover...

Hope the first part might help someone who is alos trying to get the weatherdisplay to run on a Glo HD.

For the second part any help or pointers how I could get this running would be greatly appreciated. The main question for me right now is:

1. How do I get wifi running after suspend

Also interesting, but no priority

1. Why is this keyboard interrupt needed with pygame.display.set_mode ?
2. Why does antialiasing not work?

Thanks in advance and kind regards

It seems to work now. This time I added the insmod and set the environment-Variables I extracte from the rCS-file and added several sleep-statements. If I know for sure what made it work I will report back
