How to activate the 3.2inch LCD shield with your ODROID-XU4

You need a HDMI connection or a Serial console connection to follow below instruction.

To use the SPI, you first need to update the kernel version to “3.10.83” or higher.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

“ads7846” module driver must be in the output of “lsmod” command.

How to enable driver (Only Ubuntu 16.04 or higher is required)

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-odroid.conf to comment out following three ines.

blacklist spidev
blacklist spi_s3c64xx
blacklist ads7846

Reboot.

reboot

Check your SPI node.

ls /dev/spidev*

Configuring framebuffer

0. Update your Kernel

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

1. Insert modules

sudo modprobe fbtft_device name=odroid32 rotate=90 busnum=1 gpios=reset:21,dc:22 speed=32000000 cs=0

You will have a new frame buffer /dev/fbX.

Find a ili9340 framebuffer node

ls /dev/fb*
/dev/fb0
cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/name
fb_ili9340

Run Xwindow

0. Insert modules

sudo modprobe fbtft_device name=odroid32 rotate=90 busnum=1 gpios=reset:21,dc:22 speed=32000000 cs=0

1. Create a new config file

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old

Add following lines in “/etc/X11/xorg.conf” file.

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "XU4 fbdev"
    Driver        "fbdev"
    Option        "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection

2. Run

/etc/init.d/lightdm start

Run Console

0. Insert modules

sudo modprobe fbtft_device name=odroid32 rotate=90 busnum=1 gpios=reset:21,dc:22 speed=32000000 cs=0

1. Run con2fbmap

con2fbmap <console> <framebuffer>

sudo apt-get install fbset
sudo con2fbmap 2 0

Press Keyboard Ctrl + Alt + F2 to change the console screen of FB1
There will be a login screen on the LCD screen.

Touch Calibration

To use the Touch Calibration, you first need to update the kernel version to “3.10.96-86” or higher.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

0. The xinput-calibrator pakage download

sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator

1. Remove old calibration data.

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

2. Login

You need a login to get DISPLAY.
If you want auto login.
Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file to enable auto-login: (password: odroid)

odroid@odroid:~$ sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[sudo] password for odroid: 
odroid@odroid:~$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=odroid
autologin-user-timeout=0
odroid@odroid:~$ 

3. Check your DISPLAY

odroid@odroid:~$ w                                                              
09:13:31 up 35 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.12                  
USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT             
odroid   ttySAC2                   08:42    2.00s  0.75s  0.02s w               
odroid   :0       :0               05:39   ?xdm?   1:15   0.63s mate-session    
odroid@odroid:~$

4. Run calibrator

sudo DISPLAY=:0 xinput_calibrator

Follow the directions on your screen.
then, you will get something like


Copy to “/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf”

sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

5. Reboot

sudo reboot
