Description

The texy display has arrived. He had forgotten to send it originally and, to make up for it, decided to send me a mounting case for free. I've mounted an RPi in the case with the display (see photo) but my initial boot doesn't seem to see the device. I only have fb0, which is the HDMI monitor.

The discussion on using the display can be found here:

fbtft_device kernel drivers instructions. This appears to be built on the kernel source from which PiBox pulls

The driver appears to support this device (whish is a hy28a). So all that's needed, initially, is to get the driver into the kernel build.

Building outside the kernel is available from kernel.org.
