Screen TFT 3.5" GPIO

Postby ilverz » Sat Nov 21, 2015 2:14 pm

Hi guys,
I have installed ArchLinux arm on my raspberry and I want to connect to him a TFT screen using the GPIO...
This one:

But I can't make it work! First of all i can't understand if the screen is recognised from Arch or not..
What could i do?

The usual way to find out if a piece of hardware is recognized is to either run dmesg right after you plug it in, or to check your logs if you have installed the logging package. I believe that is syslog-ng, then you could run "tail -f /var/log/everything.log", starting it before you plug the device in, and see what the Pi says.
