Raspberry Pi HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) for TFT-Displays with DPI (Display Parallel Interface).
Install device tree blob (originally from Robert Ely):
$ sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler
$ wget -N https://raw.github.com/watterott/RPi-DPI-HAT/master/software/dt-blob-dpi.dts
$ sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dt-blob.bin dt-blob-dpi.dts
Open the file /boot/config.txt
and add the following lines at the file end (example):
$ sudo nano /boot/config.txt
# disable SPI and I2C
dtparam=spi=off
dtparam=i2c_arm=off
# enable 800x480 display (TFT050-3, TFT070-4)
enable_dpi_lcd=1
display_default_lcd=1
dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87
dpi_output_format=454661
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0
# 0 degrees - normal
#display_rotate=0
# 90 degrees
#display_rotate=1
# 180 degrees
#display_rotate=2
# 270 degrees
#display_rotate=3
# horizontal flip
#display_rotate=0x10000
# vertical flip
#display_rotate=0x20000
Reboot the system:
$ sudo reboot
If there are problems then check, that you have not bootloader version 1.20150923, which has a bug. Upgrade the system with $ sudo apt-get update
and $ sudo apt-get upgrade
.
