Software
The screen works with the latest Raspbian, Ubuntu or OSMC system. However, in order for the screen to display the image correctly you need to change the resolution in the configuration file. To do this, open the config.txt file with a command:
-
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
and then add the following instructions at the end:
-
dtoverlay=dpi24
-
enable_dpi_lcd=1
-
display_default_lcd=1
-
dpi_group=2
-
dpi_mode=87
-
dpi_output_format=0x6f005
-
