Use this 2.2" Color TFT LCD Display to add a vibrant color display to your Raspberry Pi projects. Just wire up your display and use the SPI protocol to communicate with your TFT. This is more advanced than our Raspberry Pi LCD shields since you have to wire using a breadboard and use the fbtft Raspberry Pi Library when configuring so we recommend it for intermediate users.

For Arduino users, this display is also Arduino compatible however we recommend our 11 Pin 2.2" TFT LCD Display which can be plugged directly into an Arduino UNO or Mega so you don"t have to use a breadboard.

I already new of framebuffers, and then read chapter "TFT 2.4" 320x240 – TJCTM24024-SPI" of Kolban"s book. That provided all information needed. It turned out that all is available in Raspbian already and just needs to be turned on.

Next steps will be to get console displayed on 320x240 TFT, the trigger for me in trying to get TFT running with Pi Zero was this cool youtube video I found yesterday -- I have never seen a X session on a 320x240 display, wow!

pi@raspberrypi01:~ $ time ( for((i=0; i<20; ++i)); do tail --bytes 153600 giraffe.565 > /dev/fb1; sleep 0.07; yes | head --bytes 153600 > /dev/fb1; sleep 0.07; done )

Next I needed to trick security in order to start eg. "xeyes", as always this can be done with (dangerous!) "sudo xhost +". Then not only xeyes could be started, but I was able to use "xdotool" to move the mouse around!

Compilation of "fbcp" worked as described, and after starting as background process "fbcp" did continuously copy complete 1440x900 framebuffer 0 (X Session) to 320x240 framebuffer 1 (ILI9341) with resizing. I used tool "fbgrab" to take "framebuffer screenshots", by default screenshot from /dev/fb0 is done:

i finally got it working on Rpi model B with the smaller header i had to play with it a bit using the combination of 2 tutorials to get it working but i cannot get the zero working.

Before booting 1st time I did "touch /media/boot_/ssh" to allow for remote ssh access, then I unmounted the SD card and booted the Pi Zero. After some time I did "nmap -sn 192.168.178.1/24" to scan my home router and found Pi Zero using 192.168.178.173. After logging in I first changed the "pi" user password, ran "sudo raspi-config" and enabled camera and SPI interfaces. Leaving raspi-config I rebooted the Pi Zero.

On new ssh login I did "raspistill -t 0" first to verify camera is working (only for the initial logins and tests I connect HDMI monitor). Then, as stated in this thread, I did

Instread of pipeing "raspivid" output into gstreamer fdsrc, I chose v4l2 driver this time without using raspivid. After reboot and ssh into Raspberry Pi Zero (over USB2ethernet as here, or over USB OTG), this command loads the v4l2 module:

The ILI9341 LED pin is permanently soldered to ILI9341 VCC pin making the cable counts match. Placing reset from GPIO23 to GPIO25, GND from pin 09 to pin 20, and connecting MISO although it is not used (yet), allowed the compact 4x2 connector on Pi Zero pins 17-24.

Streaming Raspberry camera video was easy, but I was not able to make fpsdisplaysink work with /dev/fb1. I remembered to use "fakesink" for fps determination, and faced the problem to have two streams now, one for ILI9341 display, and the other for fakesink. Surprisingly the standard Unix command "tee" is abailable as gstreamer plugin as well ! This command streams Raspberry camera video to ILI9341 display, and displays average framerate (51fps !!) on ssh session:

It is a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all, it is use FPC cable connect with Raspberry Pi.

I just finished two solid days of work trying to get an HDMI LCD panel working with one of the inexpensive older model TFT LCD displays in a "Dual mode" configuration. There was a tremendous amount of help from this post, which got me most of the way there, but the infamous "last mile" still took me a while. I"m leaving some breadcrumbs here, as well as asking the group if anyone knows of a better way.

I am working on a device that uses a Raspberry Pi 4 as an embedded controller. For output, I need an 2K DSI LCD w/ its own HDMI adapter (Sharp LS055R1SX04, about $65 USD), as well as an inexpensive TFT LCD used for a basic touch user interface. The TFT LCD, which uses an ILI9341 LCD controller and an ads7846 touchscreen controller, can be had for about $10 USD. The Pi was flashed with the latest Raspberry Pi OS 32 bit then updated, so everything is current as of this writing (March 2021).

Initial configuration of the display worked with little issue. The HDMI adapter for the Sharp LCD works at 50 Hz only, so it requires custom timings. The TFT LCD uses the same controller chips as the original 3.5" Raspberry Pi LCD, so I was able to activate it with the rpi-display dtoverlay.

Booting with the above correctly revealed two framebuffer devices listed with ls -l /dev/fb*. The display initially showed as all white, then went all black, indicating correct initialization. However, when starting the desktop GUI, only the Sharp LCD showed any contents, and only it was listed as a device by xrandr.

The relevant X11 configuration files are located in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. The reference forum post mentioned replacing the contents of the file 99-fbturbo.conf. My first problem that took way to long to discover: 99-fbturbo.conf gets automatically deleted if the vc4-fkms-v3d overlay is activated (which is the default for a RasPi4). So, the configuration would work fine, but would suddenly stop working if the Pi is rebooted!

The above configuration seems to work well. Both displays showed data. VNC showed a single combined desktop. Moving a window from left to right moved to the appropriate display as expected by the Option "Xinerama" "true" option of the server layout.

Based on claims of the above not being "ideal", I experimented with various settings. If the above file is deleted entirely, xrandr reports the Sharp LCD as the sole display. If you put the above file in place, and remove all references to the Sharp LCD (including the Device, Monitor, Screen, and ServerLayouts), xrandr correctly reports the TFT LCD, but not the Sharp LCD. I left JUST the Device sections in, but xrandr failed to correctly report one of the other.

No matter what combinations I tried, I was unable to get xrandr to list both the HDMI display and the SPI display at the same time. If all parts above ARE explicitly listed in the configuration, running xrandr reports an error that the RandR extension is not loaded. Thus I was unable to use the more advanced built in layout management of X11 using the RandR extension.

Simply using raspi-config"s System Options to boot to the Desktop works as expected, as my X11 configuration changed the last option in the "ServerFlags" section to:

Since xrandr was INOP in this configuration, I could not use xinput --map-to-output to limit touchscreen coordinates to the TFT LCD. Instead, I settled on using a combination of touch screen rotation, and input coordinate translation:

Note that the TransformationMatrix is very specific to a 1440x2560 in portrait mode with 320x240 in landscape mode to the right of the Sharp LCD. The numbers are basically:

You may be tempted to try to hack a dtoverlay that uses the ads7846 driver and specifies the x-min, x-max, etc. parameters. Don"t. I wasted a huge amount of time on this. While you can specify min/max, they apparently do NOT affect the output of that driver. The raw numbers are still reported when watching X11 input events via sudo DISPLAY=:0.0 evtest /dev/input/event0 no matter what the min/max parameters to that driver are.

The reference post noted that you can"t change the background color or image of the small display with this configuration. While that is true using the GUI, those configuration options are stored in the following files:

My question to the group, if anyone knows, is simple: is it possible to configure a Pi4 so an SPI connected LCD can co-exist without disabling the RandR extension in X11?

Xserver wants to talk to either DRM/KMS for all rendering, or goes to /dev/fbX nodes if there is no DRM/KMS available (and then Xinerama is required to support multiple displays).

With DRM/KMS X will render one "super desktop" covering all displays in their correct positions, and then tell each DRM/KMS device to display the correct bit of it. That"s how it works with dual HDMI on Pi4.

Now these SPI displays used to be driven by a driver that only exposed them as /dev/fbX nodes. They now appear to be under the tinydrm driver, so I would have expected them to show up as DRM/KMS devices. The output from modetest would be interesting to see (X can not be running when you run modetest). "xrandr --verbose" may tell you if you have vc4-(f)kms-v3d enabled. (Sorry, I don"t have one of these displays to test with)

If it is a DRM device, then I would expect X to be able to render to that as an alternate output device, providing it supports a suitable pixel format.

That is how I believe things work if you were to drop 2 different graphics cards into an x86 PC - one does all the rendering through OpenGL, and then they each get told which bits of the resultant image to display.

So, "TinyDRM" is new to me. Of all the extensive google searches I did, I never came across this. Adding "tinydrm" to my previous searches has revealed a lot of new information to explore. So far, this is what I have uncovered:

As I mentioned in my initial post, what "works" for me is the "rpi-display" overlay. If I execute fdtdump /boot/overlays/rpi-display.dtbo on my current configuration, I see this fragement:

I"m not real familiar with this stuff (I stumbled across it while I was stuck in the mud), but I assume by these results that there are two different drivers possible: fb_ili9341 which is the framebuffer version, and ili9341 which I assume is the DRM version. If I understand how this all fits together, it appears that when I select the "rpi-display" overlay, its picking the framebuffer version due to the last line in modules.alias?

Adding "tinydrm" to my google searches revealed this Github issue: https://github.com/notro/tinydrm/issues/14, and it mentions in passing "here is an example overlay source file", pointing to the rpi-display overlay. However, when I look at the referenced source, https://github.com/notro/tinydrm/blob/m ... verlay.dts, it contains this:

which is of course a different driver. I already had a customized overlay source, so I changed it to use the mentioned "mi0283qt" driver. It did not work (my screen remains blank white). I also tried the straight ili9341 driver (with no "fb_" prefix). Both showed results from modetest, but the screen remained white.

I suspect that perhaps my pins may not be set up correctly for those drivers? The overlay sources seemed to indicate they were the same, but I don"t know if that is true.

I"m not sure if I uncovered an inconsistency in what is supposed to be in the distribution, or if in order to get this to work, I need to download and compile the drivers? I"ll keep experimenting, but I wanted to report what I found thus far.

I do note that the mi0283qt driver also appears to be a 320x240 ILI934 based panel from looking at the source. That"s also the compatible ("multi-inno,mi0283qt") referenced by notro in https://github.com/notro/tinydrm/issues/14 (different vendor prefix though). It"d be nice to know the differences.

Is it fair to say that there is more to a board than just saying it"s controlled by a an ILS9341? That seems to be the case with these multiple initialization sequences. I believe my board to be one from HiLetgo. Is it possible to create a DRM driver that functions EXACTLY like the fb_ili9341? Another possibility: for $10 USD, I could just get another board. That certainly might be easier. I"d just like to know the best way to match a board to a driver. The "brand name" ADAfruit board is $27 - almost 3 x the cost of the Hiletgo. Not super significant for a one-off, but a significant increase in unit cost.

Switching to the "multi-inno,mi0283qt" compatible and I get nothing. Reading the DT bindings, the backlight has been moved from being a GPIO property of the display to being a link to the backlight device driver, so it"s understandable that the backlight stays off.

Hmm, my x86 system (Ubuntu 20.10 with 5.8 kernel) seems quite happy to share the desktop between two graphics cards (one Radeon 6450 (XFX 6450 HD-645-ZQ 1GB), and one Nvidia Geforce GT710).

On my CM4 xrandr didn"t even list the extra SPI display, whereas on x86 it is listing all the connected and disconnected displays (7 of them total!). On both systems they show up under /sys/class/drm, so it may be the way that X enumerates the displays.

So, I tried the dtoverlay you posted, and sure enough - I was also able to get a test pattern using modetest! So, that explains part 1 - the pinout is different on some of these displays.

Next, I removed my previous 99-multihead-conf file from my "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/" and restarted the desktop manager. I opened a terminal window, entered "xrandr", and both displays listed! I thought it was solved, but at that point, my poor little Pi completely locked up. I had this same problem in the past when I was trying the various DRM driver overlays. The desktop just became very unstable.

At this point, I"m going to just fall back to the configuration I posted at the beginning of this first thread. It seems to work fine. And while it may in theory not be ideal, it works for my purposes (I"m creating a very basic touch UI on the touchscreen. I"m not trying to stream video to it or anything crazy).

Strange that the SPI display showed up for you but not me, even if it did then crash. I"ve tried an upgrade of my RaspiOS 32bit install (although with latest kernel) and it still doesn"t want to acknowledge the SPI display through xrandr. Could you post the output from xrandr when it sees both displays?

is needed for xrandr to see the display (listed as Unknown19-1 for me, presumably as X hasn"t been built with any knowledge of DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_SPI being 19. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest ... ode.h#L390

However it is as I suspected - we have no mouse pointer on the TFT screen, presumably as X can"t cope with one display having a cursor plane and the other not. I don"t know the best way to overcome that.

*edit*: Minor correction there. If the two displays overlap, then the mouse cursor disappears on the SPI screen. If you set them to be independent (eg "xrandr --output Unknown19-1 --right-of HDMI-1"), then X switches mode and renders the mouse cursor.

Which sounds like yours (i.e the "Unknown19-1). I got the "lock up" again, but it turns out that lock-up was actually VNC (I"ve been using that to develop, as the text on a Sharp LCD is VERY tiny to look at in desktop mode). My console was still alive, so I hooked up an actual keyboard and mouse to the Pi, and the desktop on my Sharp LCD came alive. With the above two commands you"ve discovered, I now have two desktops. Sort of...

It appears as if the upper left hand corner of my Sharp LCD desktop is mirrored on the small LCD. It"s not two independent desktops. Instead, it"s the same desktop duplicated. I suspect that is probably more X configuration than driver stuff, however.

Today we are going to learn how to interface LCD TFT display using SPI interface with Raspberry Pi and also how to change the orientation of the screen. The SPI display comes in different sizes and speeds. Here is the list of all different type of RPi display with SPI interface from waveshare.

As I am using the 3.2-inch display without high-speed SPI and with Rasbian OS I am using this comment to install the driversudo ./LCD32-show.below is a table of different installation comments for different LCDs and OS.

It is a 2.8" display with 320x240 16-bit color pixels and a resistive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi and can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all, it is use FPC cable connect with Raspberry Pi.

so I googled and found everybody is using the ILI19341 de facto standard. That means all ILI19341 are more or less the same and can be used with any such driver. I searched AliExpress and found the following typical goody.

Now I am testing Back Lit. I found that my guess was wrong. The pin BL is not LED anode, but Low level on. I used a multimeter to check that the current from BL pin to ground is 2.5mA. So I now guess BL is not a signal pin but a pull down LED power pin, sinking 2.5 mA to switch on Back Lit LED. Anyway, I am glad that now I have a huge size 2.8" white LED! :)

Now I have loaded the kernel module fbtft_device name = ici9341. I can also listed the module. But I found that I made another wrong guess - four SPI signal wires are not enough, I also need 3 more GPIO wires RST, DC (select Data or Command mode), and BL (back lit), ... :(

My ICI9341 SPI cable V2.0 does not work, because the signals Touch LCD RST and RS (Register Select) or DC (Data Command Mode Select) are missing. So I have assembled V3.0.

I just found that my Rpi3B+ with Raspbian 2019Apr version already has a fbtft kernel driver which sadly is not the ici I ma using. So I need to build a driver myself. I found the following driver tutorial but found it very tedious. Trying it this Sunday afternoon might corrupt my Rpi OS. So I decided to stall this part of project for a couple of days, to allow me to go through slowly the tutorial.
