Rebooted successfully at this stage on 2nd sd card.
3. Download configuration file for the board:doneCode: Select all
wget https://github.com/fenlogic/vga666/blob/master/setup/dt-blob-dpi.bin sudo mv dt-blob-dpi.bin /boot/dt-blob.bin
4. Add settings for the board to /boot/config.txtand add the following linesCode: Select all
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
This will enable the board and make it the default displayCode: Select all
enable_dpi_lcd=1 display_default_lcd=1
done
5. It is necessary to blacklist spi and i2c, otherwise the vga666 will not function correctly.and add these linesCode: Select all
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/vga666-blacklist.conf
doneCode: Select all
blacklist spi-bcm2708 blacklist i2c-bcm2708
6 Now reboot; if everything is ok then it should come up with VGA resolution (640x480)
blank screen except for "no pc input"
7 Now adjust the resolution for your monitor (see http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... fig-txt.md)
For the vga board use 'dpi_' instead of 'hdmi_'
For example, adding these lines to /boot/config.txtWould be the equivalent of hdmi_group 2 (DMT), mode 35 (1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz)Code: Select all
dpi_group=2 dpi_mode=35
And it works nicely with my old Acer AL1711 monitor
can't access these.
