shaddow501 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hello All After a lot of hours and sleepless nights I was able to get this 5" LCD to work with the BPI-M64 module. 1. Correct resolution setup + environment. A. In /Boot/armbianEnv.txt set the following: Make sure to enter overlays= spi-add-cs1 spi-spidev (this is for the touch panel to work) B. for 180 rotation: extraargs=fbcon=rotate:2 drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/800x480.bin video=HDMI-A-1:800x480-24@60 No rotation: extraargs= drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/800x480.bin video=HDMI-A-1:800x480-24@60 C. this info came from: https://askubuntu.com/questions/890231/adding-newmode-with-xrandr-800x480-60-00 by the way if you dont want to see the console messages during boot you can add this to the armbianEnv.txt: console=serial D. Save and close. E. Create a directory where the .desktop file will be contained: sudo mkdir -p /etc/xdg/autostart F. Create the .desktop file and make it executable: Let's call this file custom-screen-resolution.desktop: sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/custom-screen-resolution.desktop The content of the file custom-screen-resolution.desktop should look as: [Desktop Entry] Name=Custom Screen Resolution Exec=sh -c 'xrandr --newmode "800x480_60.00" 29.50 800 824 896 992 480 483 493 500 -hsync +vsync; xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 800x480_60.00; xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 800x480_60.00' Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application G. reboot H. After O/S is loaded go to settings => display and you be able to select the 800x480 resolution. 2. With the Touch Panel I lost some hair on my head since there were many issues to overcome. A. I had to solder the LCD TP_IRQ Pin (22) to unused Pin (13) since Pin 22 on the BPI-M64 didnt support GPIO to IRQ... and diving into the sources took a lot of time to figure out why, so the easiest way is to change the Pin. (please have a look at the attached picture. B. Also there were wrong settings in the sun50i-a64-spi-add-cs1.dtbo overly, it seems that CS1 were going to the wrong Pin ( not as the BPI_M64 page shows, it should have been going to Pin 26 - PC2 but in the overlay it did go to Pin 35- PB6) I really dont know why so I had to change the DTS file to: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-a64"; fragment@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { spi0_cs1: spi0_cs1 { pins = "PD0"; function = "gpio_out"; output-high; }; spi1_cs1: spi1_cs1 { pins = "PC2"; function = "gpio_out"; output-high; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target = <&spi0>; __overlay__ { pinctrl-names = "default", "default"; pinctrl-1 = <&spi0_cs1>; cs-gpios = <0>, <&pio 3 0 0>; /* PD0 */ }; }; fragment@2 { target = <&spi1>; __overlay__ { pinctrl-names = "default", "default"; pinctrl-1 = <&spi1_cs1>; cs-gpios = <0>, <&pio 2 2 0>; /* PC2 */ }; }; }; The sun50i-a64-spi-add-cs1.dts & the sun50i-a64-spi-add-cs1.dtbo are also attached. Just replace the sun50i-a64-spi-add-cs1.dtbo located at /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay with file that I have attached here. C. The next settings I have found at post here I just copy and paste so you will have all the info in one page: D) Download ads7846? touch driver (compatible with xpt2046) mkdir ds7846 cd ds7846 wget https://sourceforge.net/p/openipmi/linux-ipmi/ci/master/tree/drivers/input/touchscreen/ads7846.c?format=raw mv ads7846.c?format=raw ads7846.c E) Create a makefile (Take note that it is TABS instead of spaces before the $(MAKE)) nano Makefile Insert the below in without the ----- -------------------------------- obj-m := ads7846.o KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd) all: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules clean: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) clean install: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules_install -------------------------------- F) Exit nano and run the following cd /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.38-sunxi64 make scripts make modules_prepare sudo make sudo make install sudo depmod G) Download and compile and install ads7846_device cd .. git clone https://github.com/notro/fbtft_tools/ cd fbtft_tools/ads7846_device make sudo make install sudo depmod H) Load ads7846 and ads7846_device on boot sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/ads7846.conf ads7846 ads7846_device I) Load ads7846_device options nano /etc/modprobe.d/ads7846_device.conf options ads7846_device model=7846 cs=1 gpio_pendown=234 keep_vref_on=1 swap_xy=0 pressure_max=255 x_plate_ohms=150 x_min=3900 x_max=200 y_min=3900 y_max=200 busnum=1 Note: GPIO_PENDOWN relate to the GPIO of the actual Pin number 13, With my board it is 234, If you are using other module (not BPI_M64) it could be other number, check with your module documents or do "gpio printall" in your board to see the correct Pin number. Since I use the screen in inverted mode those settings fits my needs. if you will use it in normal mode you might have to switch those parameters : swap_xy=0 or 1 x_min=3900 x_max=200 y_min=3900 y_max=200 or x_min=200 x_max=3900y_min=200 y_max=3900 I didnt really need it but you can install sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator for fine tunning. (follow the instructions) I hope that I didnt forget anything. By the way the kernel I use is: 4.19.38-sunxi64 sun50i-a64-spi-add-cs1.dtbo sun50i-a64-spi-add-cs1.dts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
