update: I’ve seen there’s a specific overlay for the 4.3 inch waveshare display
Thanks @le51… sorry for my computer ignorance… so all I have to do is insert this string into WebConf?
dtoverlay-vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,dsi0
This way I tell the Raspberry to use the DSI0 port, right?
The string is made for the 4.3 display, even if it talks about 7inch.
I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the original 200mm flat cable.
Hello @Lanfranco.
Yes, you can do that from webconf.
- choose MIPI DSI 800x480
- add “dtoverlay-vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,dsi0” or “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-800x480,dsi0” in Config form area
- save and restart
If troubles, from webconf, you can restart the UI in debug mode and send the output here.
Many many thanks…
I think I returned a flat cable to Amazon that probably worked… I hadn’t set these things up because without any settings on the Raspberry P4 the display worked on startup showing the terminal… while with the P5 it wouldn’t turn on.
Connecting the display with the flat cable the raspberry does not start … it is powered (led on) but does not start … The cable is connected correctly … Has anyone had this problem? Thanks
That statement makes me very suspicious that it will turn out to be related to the cable - have you tried both connectors on the RPi5?
Thanks @tunagenes… it would be the second cable not working… I attach a photo of the connected cable… Isn’t the other port for the camera?
I think either connector can be used for a camera or display. But Zynthian may require the use of CAM/DISP 0, the other one in the pic due to a bug.
have you seen this?
I confirm! I unsoldered the 4 capacitors and now the Raspberry boots and the display works… I just have to rotate the image…
Unfortunately selecting INVERTED on WebConf, it rotates the touch but not the image… do I have to use “rotate”?
I need help from you experts… I don’t want to have to reinstall everything again… Here they explain how to set the rotation, but I don’t want to do any damage…
I did it myself!!! Great satisfaction!
I created the file and now the display is in the right position…
