Orange Pi Zero 3 ili9486 TFT LCD

[Orima]

@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.

Yes, that is the correct sequence of actions:

1. Build armbian minimal with panel-mipi-dbi kernel module

2. Use DTS so that the kernel links the GPIO, SPI to the panel-mipi-dbi kernel module

3. Use the bin file (originally provided by Kungfu pancake) <-mandatory, not optional

4. If you see console text successfully in the LCD during boot, you have successfully installed your LCD

5. Tell us here, for the next step in GUI installation

 

The "greeter" is the graphical login screen. Labwc is the wayland-based compositor and window manager (I think).
