Official 7" Pi Touchscreen doesnt work

Recommended Posts

Hi,

The Raspbian official 7" touchscreen doesnt work on the 2S like it did on the TinkerBoard and S

/sys/class/backlight is empty
/sys/devices/platform/ff150000.i2c/i2c-3/3-0045/tinker_mcu_bl doesnt exist like it did on TinkerBoard

I connected RPi 7" display to Tinkerboard 2 through Waveshare cm-dsi adapter referenced above.  For both Android 10 and Android 11, I get the Tinkerboard splash screen on the Rpi display but do not get the Android splash screen.  Is there a configuration file I need to update?

Got it working with Android 11 by adding following line to /dtoverlay/config.txt:

overlay=DP_VOPB

Hi,

I tried a dsi cable 15 to 22 pins but display remain blank.

Is there a way to switch CSI to DSI and connect the panel there? In case, will hdmi still be usable?

In config.txt Is mentioned thep anel-asus-DSI1-overlay file but It doesn't exist in userdata.

Many thanks

Hi @tooz
Thank you for repliyng.
I'm using official 2.1.6 Debian 10 image.
It came out that it was a cable issue, with a physical (15 to 22 pins) ,adapter the screen now works and I'm able to use rpi 7'' display.
By the way, the panel-asus-DSI1-overlay is not present in overlay folder. I still would like to use the CSI connector without the adapter. Would it be possible to attach rpi screen to the 15 pins CSI connector? What changes do I need to do in dts?
Many thanks.

the dsi and csi interfaces are different and cannot be configured as such
