Success with Adafruit PiTFT 2.2 hat

Postby awx » Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:56 am

Thanks to some help from WarheadsSE on irc, my pi2 is showing the console on a Adafruit PiTFT 2.2 hat.

The steps needed for the console were:
  • Download the customized OS image for this display from Adafruit. 2015-02-16-raspbian-pitft22_150312.zip
  • burn that image to some sdcard and copy the /boot/overlays/pitft22-overlay.dtb into the /boot/overlays/ folder of the arch linux sdcard.
  • Edit /boot/config.txt to include:$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'device_tree_param=i2c_arm=on
    device_tree_param=i2c_vc=on
    device_tree_param=spi=on
    dtoverlay=pitft22,rotate=270,speed=32000000,fps=20')
  • Edit /boot/cmdline.txt and insert this code after "rootwait"$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:VGA8x8')
  • reboot
