I don't know. What does this return:
--- Code: ---cat /opt/.filetool.lst
--- End code ---
MrPorcine:
Sorry, the forum refuses to accept the contents of .filetool.lst. It first trips up on etc dot group. But I have not modified the file - it is the default from the piCore13 image.
More strangeness since the last post. After backing out the two font folders from .filetool.lst, I added the same two font folders to Xorg-fonts.tcz. This tcz is added as a dependency of Xorg.tcz. After reboot, the system exhibited the same behavior as described in my previous post. Xorg hung because it couldn't find the turbo driver. I then restored the original Xorg-fonts.tcz and now Xorg would start OK once again.
I modified the Xorg-fonts.tcz file on a RPi4 running Rasbian as the on piCore the squashfs utility is missing some of its dependencies. Squashfs-tools is in the repository. I found and added lzo and liblz4, also in the repository and needed but not brought in automatically. There is at least one more library needed (libzstd) that is not in the repository.
Next I copied the two font folders to /opt, modified bootsync.sh to create simlinks from the Xorg fonts folder to the two folders now in opt and once again did a filetool.sh -b. Now on reboot Xorg starts and finds the fonts that I added. So I have a work-around to the two standard methods that did not work.
MrPorcine:
I wanted to rule out hardware issues, so I ran f3write and f3read on on the SD card that has piCore on it - no problems found. I also slipped in a Rasbian SD card on the RPi3b and ran memtester overnight. Also no problems found.
MrPorcine:
At this point the whole system is working OK, except that the touchscreen is inop. A USB mouse works fine. We are using a RPi 3B+. Actually I find piCore pretty amazing. The SDcard image is only about 500MB. It uses about 100MB of the 1GB RAM. It boots to our splash screen in about 9 seconds and the final app appears in about 18 seconds. You can turn off the system any time without worrying about file system corruption.
We do need the touchscreen to work. If we can help with the touchscreen interface in 13.0.3 let us know. If someone could post the .config used to compile the RPi 3B+ kernel we could just compile it with the modules that we need. If I remember correctly, there is a script that separates the modules that are include in the kernel image from the ones that are in the module image. Or maybe it's more complicated than that. Anyway, any help is welcome.

I just checked, bmarkus fixed that. Everything is now 5.10.16.

Fetch the kernel modules package:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/ARM/releases/RPi/src/kernel/
Replace the word ARM with the results of the getBuild command.
Unpack it using the tar xf FileName.tar.xz command.
Then see if edt-ft5x06.ko works for you:
