waveshare 3.5 touchscreen how to get working in picore

[madmax6]

jgrulich can you help me; i have installed cmake and rpi-vci but i don't know how to install raspi2fb and get the screen to show jivelite...

[jgrulich]

The build and setup is the same as for Rasbian, but don't take care, find attached the ready made tcz.
There are both, fbtft and raspi2fb included the necessary libs. You don't need to install rpi-vc.

Hi jgrulich
Sorry, you are not allowed to post extensions on the forum so I removed it.

[madmax6]

snatched tcz before it was removed,installed it but do i have to point dev1. cannot see jivelite

[jgrulich]

No, only run

Code: (bash) [Select]

sudo fbtft
or

Code: (bash) [Select]

sudo raspi2fb

as a first line of the bootlocal.sh, or if used the TFT setup there, place the "pause 1" and than the copy command.

yes thnx jgrulich ive magnaged the screen to work!
tce-load -i hdmitotft.tcz
sudo fbtft doesn't work
sudo  raspi2fb and the screen works! only touchscreen doesn't work and image is very small (i think it has to do with rendering from 1920 to 480)
is there a way to change the screen size?
and how do i startup all this automaticly?
do we need to write a simple startup script?

[madmax6]

jgrulich thanks very much for your help, i've got it all to work.
just had to add raspi2fb to bootlocal.sh and everything works on startup!

just one last question, the raspi2fb forces hdmi screen to 320x480 but the image is to small. when i change it skinmenu from 1980 x 1080 it doesn't matter it stays small, any tips how to increase the screen image?

[madmax6]

found the problem when raspi2fb starts:
raspi2fb[964]:info:copying from 1920x1080 to 320x480

but the screen is 480 X 320, any way to change this?

[jgrulich]

It resizes it automatically. You don't need to do anything.
If you like to have different resolution for the HDMI, than change it in the config.txt.
The resolution for Jivelite is set in the Jivelite setup - screen setup.

[madmax6]

i know it adjust automatticly but the screensize is too small.
when selecting skin 640 or 1024 or 1920 it stays small n=(not fill thescreen)
i think hight en width are switched

[madmax6]

is there a way to adjust hdmitotft to 480 x320?

[jgrulich]

Set the HDMI resolution in the config.txt. Look wiki how to do so.
