mhel Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hi, I finally have time to get back to my little project. I've been trying to get a working display with tinydrm for an ILI9341 base lcd. My setup works on OpenWrt with the older fbtft driver, but now I'd like to go back and try Armbian (current release is Jammy) on it. My first try with devicetree overlay seems functional but not correct. The display just show garbled data (see attached). What could be the problem with it? This is my env. verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both overlay_prefix=sun50i-h5 overlays=usbhost1 usbhost2 spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 rootdev=UUID=e0ed80c4-a252-4d96-ad61-78b7834d6b8d rootfstype=ext4 user_overlays=spilcd usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u and this is my overlay /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10", "allwinner,sun7i-a20", "allwinner,sun8i-h3", "allwinner,sun50i-a64", "allwinner,sun50i-h5"; fragment@0 { target = <&spi0>; __overlay__ { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; display: display@0 { compatible = "adafruit,yx240qv29", "ilitek,ili9341"; reg = <0>; rotation = <270>; reset-gpios = <&pio 0 6 0>; /* GPIOA 6 */ dc-gpios = <&pio 0 3 0>; /* GPIOA 3 */ }; }; }; }; 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhel Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Got it to work 🙂 I'm not exactly sure what fixed it but I'll probably figure it out once it breaks again. this is my new overlay so others may find it useful. /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10", "allwinner,sun7i-a20", "allwinner,sun8i-h3", "allwinner,sun50i-a64", "allwinner,sun50i-h5"; fragmen@0 { target = <&pio>; __overlay__ { display_pins: display_pins { pins = "PA3", "PA6"; function = "gpio_out"; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target = <&spi0>; __overlay__ { /* needed to avoid dtc warning */ #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; display: display@0 { compatible = "adafruit,yx240qv29", "ilitek,ili9341"; reg = <0>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&display_pins>; spi-max-frequency = <16000000>; rotation= <270>; bgr; fps = <10>; buswidth = <8>; height = <240>; width = <320>; reset-gpios = <&pio 0 6 0>; /* GPIOA 6 */ dc-gpios = <&pio 0 3 0>; /* GPIOA 3 */ debug = <3>; }; }; }; __overrides__ { rotation = <&display>, "rotation:0"; fps = <&display>, "fps:0"; debug = <&display>, "debug:0"; }; }; 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamerjack Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Hi Mhel, Thank you for your post is very interesting... But can you add some info for who ha no experience with overlay? I was able to use a spi display with a legacy kernel and now i'm trying to use with a new kernel on orange pi PC2 i suppose that the pins to use are: 19 SPI_MOSI 21 SPI_MISO 23 SPI_CLK 15 LCD_D/C (GPIO A3 ) 7 LCD_RESET (GPIOA6) +3.3 LED_EN Is it correct? I suppose that for edit env i have to do: sudo nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt but what i have to do to add the overlay that you did? p.s. many of the examples that i found are only for H3 your is valid also for H5... do you think is possible to use also with a nanopi neo 3 that has this Soc: RockChip RK3328, Quad-core 64-bit high-performance Cortex A53? i suppose that i have to add the correct prefix to this line: compatible = "allwinner,sun4i-a10", "allwinner,sun7i-a20", "allwinner,sun8i-h3", "allwinner,sun50i-a64", "allwinner,sun50i-h5"; Is it correct?

Fruchtzerg Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Am 7.6.2023 um 21:59 schrieb Lamerjack: overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0 Don't do that it can cause you troubles with your spi, I also just learned that recently from Ryzer in the following post. Then why is your Chip Select (CS) connected to ground? Connect it to the Spi_Cs0 PC3 Pin 24. and then change Fragment@1 in the overlay to following: fragment@1 { target = <&spi0>; __overlay__ { /* needed to avoid dtc warning */ #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; status="okay"; cs-gpios = <&pio 2 3 0>; num-chipselects = <1>; This should work with the OrangePi for the nano pi you need to check and change the pins. For example the spi_cs pin on the neo3 ist the B0 and on the orange pi it is the C3 so for the neo3 the line in the overlay should be: cs-gpios = <&pio 1 0 0>; The Pios for dc and reset need to be changed in a similar way as well since the neo3 doesn't have an A3 pin so maybe take A4 and A6. Maybe also the targeted spi needs to be changed since some boards don't use spi0 on the 40 header pins. Last but not least good luck with your display 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
