It looks like some bits currently aren't going to work on Pi3. I'm playing with the VGA666 overlay as it is there already, known to work on Pi2, and there's an open issue complaining about it not working either (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/559). Lessons learnt there should apply ...

PS Nice displays :D Thanks! Update done. https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/extra/dt-blob.dts now has pins_3b1 and pins_3b2 sections for the Pi3. Please note that you will have to use "sudo rpi-update" to get the latest firmware as well to match this blob. Old firmware with a compi...

Will have a look at the overlays and dig my way through ... Would prefer to find a simpler solution compared to what I'm doing right now. Suitable setups... well ... I have some of them :shock: The latest one was sucseccfully fired up today. O.K. it will need some touchup work to have all it's featu...

Hi 6by9, well ... sorry to say but I'm not a Linux geek nor did I ever bang my head around overlays so I have no idea of what your doing atm :oops: . But looking at your overlay leads me to some questions: 1.) Which DPI mode do you want to use?Since you only initialize 0 to 21 I assume your going fo...

The OS is able to display 480x272 pixels correctly; tested this with Ortustech COM43H4M09XLC. Attached you will find my documentation, the related config.txt file and a compiled device tree blob which initializes the GPIO to 24-bit colour (mode7). The blob is compiled for RPi 2 V1.1 on Jessie. EDIT:...

Thanks for the info! I'm using the GPIO as 24-bit DPI interface for driving TFT modules ans need to make the required changes to the source and compile a new blob for RPi3 and the latest Raspbian kernel. I only have one RPi2 left and don't want to by new ones when I can have WiFi for free on RPi3. J...

Hi,

I want to compile a custom device tree blob for the RPi 3 but can't locate the related configs in the dt-blob.dts found here https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... t-blob.dts

Where to find the updated source file?

Hi, your TFT is a tx26d01vm1caa from KOE (Hitachi); find the data sheet here https://www.koe-europe.com/doc/tx26d01vm1caa.pdf This is a parallel RGB interface which you CAN for sure use with the RPi. You need to make sure that you a) have a suitable BL-driver (inverter) on hands b) know how to confi...

Can I use VGA adapter that uses all GPIO pins for 24bit colour (VGA888) with current firmware? Hi, don't know. Just wanted to let you know that I've compiled a device tree for 24bit colour. In principle it is working, but there is a issue when displaying Gradient Pictures (revealing a Problem with ...

Anyone know did the 4.1 kernel in Jessie break or change anything in regards to using a DPI display? I'm having a lot of trouble using a modified dt-blob.bin with a DPI display on Jessie unfortunately. Same display and setup works perfectly with the 3.18 kernel in Wheezy, so it's not the hardware s...

Here's a config.txt for a Sharp 8.4in VGA panel - LQ084V1DG43 # For more options and information see # http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md # Some settings may impact device functionality.

Hello, What chip should I use to convert DPI to HDMI? I'd like to have two HDMI outputs. Using DPI will disable the HDMI --> no way to have dual HDMI this way, sorry. By the way, here are two of my results: 7in with 800x480 pixels WP_20150630_16_02_13_small.jpg second one is a Sharp LQ060B3DW01 wit...

Dear sirs, I'm new to this Forum! I've just configured my Pi B+ to use the DPI with a 7in module. Looking good for the first try. Currently 6-bit colours only but will test for full 24-bit next. I want to know if the DPI overlay will also work when using KODI (openelec). Has anybody tested so far? I...
