Hi loboris first of all very thanks for your great work with OrangePi. I would know if is possible add drivers for KeDei 3.5 inch 480x320 TFT lcd. I find online the drivers and patch to apply but I've some errors infact in arch missing bcm2709.c and missing the folder fbdev in video drivers with Kconfig and other files. Can you help to understand how to add these drivers in your kernel? I attach patch file and driver files This is a topic related to lcd https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=124961&p=840855 and this is a post on a blog http://heikki.virekunnas.fi/2015/raspberry-pi-tft/

I think that is not possible. KeDei has a 4 different version of this LCD. This source files is for a raspberry pi board (the bcm2709 is the rapsberry pi specific chip). Unfortunately the manufacturer doesn't provide a driver as a separate source files. I've also tried to run this LCD version 4 on rasberry pi with my custom kernel, but without success. Maybe the LCD is good, but support from the manufacturer is a crap.. They provid a drivers only as compiled kernels...
