FBTFT drivers for small TFT LCD display support

[amzg]

Hello!! Is Recalbox compatible with FBTFT drivers? They are for use for small TFT display modules (2.8"/3.2"/3.5"/4"/ etc.) through SPI interface . Raspbian is compatible, but recalbox?? Is there any possibility to implement it? More info about FBTFT: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki Tutoirial: http://www.circuitbasics.com/setup-lcd-touchscreen-raspberry-pi/ thanx!!

Hi, no it's not compatible yet. Sadly we have too many things to do, and it's not in our priority list.

Thanks for the reply. It's a pity, but I understand that there are priorities. I hope that in the near future Recalbox will be compatible with FBTFT because it's my favorite distribution and I want to use it on a project to put a Raspberry Pi2 into a classic gameboy :) Thanx!!

@digitalumberjack OK, so now that FBCP support IS in Recalbox V4.1 ... are there any instructions on how to use it?

I have Recalbox installed on a Raspberry Pi B+, and am trying to get it to work with a 2.4" PiTFT. I know I have the PiTFT connected correctly, because it works with another image I have (RetroPie).

I've modified recalbox.conf and set system.fbcp.enabled=1, but Recalbox still only displays via HDMI.

Is there anything else I need to configure?

Thanks in advance.
