trying to get ili9340 to work on orangepi pc2 on bionic 4.14.91 ... there's a fb_ili9340 module in the staging directory, modprobe passes and the only thing in dmesg is warning it's staging nothing else but when I check /dev/fb* there's only /dev/fb0 (the original hdmi output on my monitor), there's no /dev/fb1

 

anyone can land a hand? give a hint?

 

tried xenial, not working same behavior ..

on rpi using stretch and  4.14.79 same module works there's new /dev/fb1 created etc etc... touch screen also working..

now trying to build armbian with stretch instead bionic/xenial to try it out, maybe I get lucky

 

same issue with stretch

 

now on rpi I had to edit config.txt to add

 

dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2c1=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=pitft28-resistive:rotate=90,speed=32000000,fps=20
start_x=0

 

not sure how to do same thing for armbian?
