Here is a quick guide to let you install the screen on your current system
Needed files :
Modules : http://aliappz8.free.fr/tmp/modules3.10 ... ite.tar.gz
You can download other modules (kernel) versions from download page : http://www.hwlevel.com/hwlevel/Downloads/downloads.html
Kernels 3.10.32 : http://aliappz8.free.fr/tmp/kernel_lcd-pi.rar
Info :
Tested on Weezy and Kali Linux
Guide :
1. From your current Pi system run the following command as root (this will extract the archive to your system) :
- Code: Select all
wget http://aliappz8.free.fr/tmp/modules3.10.32_lcd-pi.lite.tar.gz
tar -zxvf modules3.10.32_lcd-pi.lite.tar.gz -C /
2. Edit the file /etc/modules (if you don't have it create one)
and add this line to it, use the line that belong to your screen model, this step does not seem to be absolutely necessary
- Code: Select all
#uncomment for LCD-PI32
ssd1289
- Code: Select all
#uncomment for LCD-PI43 or LCD-PI50
ssd1963
- Code: Select all
#uncomment for LCD-PI33
d51
3. Extract kernel_lcd-pi.rar to your main SD (the one accessible from MS Windows) ... if you don't have enough space copy only the kernel image that belong to your screen version
4. Edit the file cmdline.txt present on your SD and put on it that line
- Code: Select all
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait fbcon=map:10
4.2 "fbcon=map:10" is to use your LCD-PI as default screen
5. Edit the file config.txt present on your SD and and this 2 lines at the bottom of the file (choose the code that belong to your screen model)
- Code: Select all
# uncomment to use kernel with LCD-PI43/LCD-PI50 driver compiled into kernel and SPI compression enabled
kernel=kernel_lcd-pi4+c.img
- Code: Select all
# uncomment to use kernel with LCD-PI43/LCD-PI50 driver compiled into kernel and SPI compression disabled
kernel=kernel_lcd-pi4+.img
- Code: Select all
# uncomment to use kernel with LCD-PI33 driver compiled into kernel and SPI compression enabled
kernel=kernel_lcd-pi33c.img
- Code: Select all
# uncomment to use kernel with LCD-PI33 driver compiled into kernel and SPI compression disabled
kernel=kernel_lcd-pi33.img
- Code: Select all
# uncomment to use kernel with LCD-PI32 driver compiled into kernel
kernel=kernel_lcd-pi32.img
6. Boot your Pi
7. To start the Gui as usual use "startx", it will use your current config not the LCD-PI
8. To start the Gui to your LCD-PI Screen use the following command (use the one that belong to your screen version) :
- Code: Select all
startx -- -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf_LCD-PI33
- Code: Select all
startx -- -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf_LCD-PI35
- Code: Select all
startx -- -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf_LCD-PI43
- Code: Select all
startx -- -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf_LCD-PI50
Enjoy
