AZ-Touch Pi0 with Kernel >5.4 #33

Closed ItFinallyWorks closed 3 years ago

ItFinallyWorks commented 4 years ago

Hello, maybe i am making a mistake i don´t get, but i is it possible that the external display from the AZ-Touch Pi0 does not work with the current kernel version?

I tried several times to set the system up acccording to the readme and everything works fine (display has power, weatherdisplay on hdmi works well, variables are set properly....), except it does not show up on the external displayl.

I would be thankful for any hint.

regards Matthias

Hi,

Yes it need a new overlay file because the wiring of the TFT is different to the standard overlay rpi-display.

Make the modification given here : https://github.com/HWHardsoft/AZ-Touch-Pi0-Weather/issues/3

After this, compile with : dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o rpi-display.dtbo rpi-display-overlay.dts

and in final : mv /boot/overlays/rpi-display.dtbo /boot/overlays/rpi-display.dtbo.org cp rpi-display.dtbo /boot/overlays/rpi-display.dtbo

Reboot and all is done.

Ludo.

AZ-Touch users should use @HWHardsoft installation guide: https://github.com/HWHardsoft/AZ-Touch-Pi0-Weather RaspianOS is currently not supported for AT-Touch or WasperPi_TFT. I will update the readme concerning that issue.
