@robertoj Thank you very much for your reply! I sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding. When I mentioned the 16-bit option, I was referring to the selection made when setting up the Armbian image. This option is located in the same menu as the mipi_panel_dbi support option. I mentioned this in my comment because I was a bit confused by the "but the greeter is not" part of your response. I probably just needed to enable the mipi_panel_dbi support parameter and continue building without adding any additional parameters. I use a screen with a red board on the ili9488 driver, the Chinese version for sure. I'd also like to clarify with someone who's already done this, whether I'm following all the steps correctly. If that's possible, please let me know within this forum thread. - I'm building a minimal image. - First, I use the DTS file from the thread you provided as a response. - After I see the image on the screen, if the colors are incorrect, I use the file provided by Pancake. Please forgive me again. In the thread you provided as a solution, I don't understand the sequence of actions and where I should start. Once again, I apologize for my meticulousness.

If that doesn't do it, try the main integration branch which for once combines all branches and for the other is actually meant to be used by megi iirc:https://codeberg.org/megi/linux/commits/branch/orange-pi-6.18

First step is to cleanup and bump the sunxi patchset to 6.18. This is a major blocker. Once that is done. Patches for more recent Allwinner SoCs can be added. I started doing that but it is extremely exhausting. I have no clue how the-going managed to maintain that for that long... must be sort of masochistic or something lol. https://github.com/EvilOlaf/build/tree/sunxi-6.18

Not an Armbian uboot binary. Also we started to drop vendor uboot in favor of mainline.

Still the same
