I have the following display "High PPI 2.2 inch TFT Display shield for Raspberry pi 2B/B+ With 6 Keyboards and Remote IR" (built in in case):
Some pictures and instructions can be found here.
So once connected it just white and not shows anything. I tried to follow these instructions/steps:
Download the official firmware, then upgrade to the latest kernel
sudo rpi-update
Installation gpio libraries and drivers:
sudo apt-get install gcc python-pygame python-dev
sudo wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/R/RPi.GPIO/RPi.GPIO-0.5.11.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf RPi.GPIO-0.5.11.tar.gz
cd RPi.GPIO-0.5.11
sudo python setup.py install
- Config file to enable I2C and SPI Interface sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the following line: dtparam=i2c_arm=on, spi=on
- Config modules to startup screen.
sudo nano /etc/modules
Add the following line: fbtft_device name=pitft rotate=270 speed=48000000 fps=30
- Config cmdline file to display the console;
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Add the following line before “rootwait”
fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:VGA8x8
- Save then restart;
But it still does not work. Any advice what I'm missing? Easiest way to make it work?
