After a lot of testing and diagnostics, the conclusion is that the Radxa board is dead. It’s impossible to find a replacement, and a new board and possibly the screen are too expensive. I’m moving towards reusing it with Zynthian using a Raspberry Pi and the existing components. It’s already interesting to use it as a controller in MPC Beats. I soldered a USB connector, and it’s recognized by my PC and powered with 19V. I have a grounding or mapping issue with the rotary buttons, but otherwise, I can assign almost all the buttons as a MIDI controller. I would like to know if the MPC is MIDI 1.0 or 2.0, because the LEDs don’t work, and my PC sees it as an MPC One MIDI 1.0 device, so there’s no MIDI output for the LEDs. If anyone can shed some light thank you for your advice and suggestions, unfortunately it wasn’t enough.
