Have a orange pi pc plus with 3.5inch RPi LCD (A)

I install bionic 5.3.9 and try to set up screen via this guide, but got this (dmesg |grep fbtft):

[    5.594066] fbtft: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

On one of some previous build screen works after assigment as main screen. Now - I down't know what to do next

I swap screens from my RPI fligtfeeder - screen works fine

HDMI to external monitor works fine

Any ideas?

Its stupid, but I saw on commit history, and think that fbtft not support on github

 

But.... https://github.com/notro/fbtft/issues/543

Hmm, I don't know how their support is organised and if it exists at all. But usually author driver/maintainer/their GitHub is IMO the best source. 

So I remove fbtft_device. But not underdsand how enable DT support for fbtft

 

i add dtoverlay=waveshare35a to nano /boot/armbianEnv.txt

and copied waveshare35a.dtbo to /boot/dtb

and nothing changes

armbianEnv.txt

 

Waveshare corporation does not support Armbian and vice versa. DT support for those display does not exists. Somebody has to make overlays. Then it becomes simple.

So for now no solution for 5.3 kernel and waweshare? Only roll to previous kernel?

3rd party hardware was never supported because this is simply not possible to provide. It's your problem.
