The link RNC provided was device tree source files for 3 different LCD's, not kernal builds. I am very confused by "dtbo should be included with the kernal" because I thought the whole point of using device trees was to avoid having to recompile the kernal... In /lib/firmware you are correct,

The dtbo file should be included in the kernel. The commit RCN linked to was from two days ago. ...so, your issue has been fixed, but you need to update to a kernel that includes the fix (ie: less than two days old). On 4/30/2017 9:20 PM, David Faulkner wrote: That link is for different

That link is for different dts files which I have seen before. So if I took one of them and compiled it to a dtbo file which is the correct way to enable it? I have seen it done 2 ways: 1) Through the uEvt.txt file 2) Using the echo command to write to the slots file Both were done with

So, I'd have to say there is no good advice on how to proceed in this situation. Simply because it's not just hardware that needs to change. The software, from the first stage boot loader all the way into the Linux kernel and rootfs may have to be modified. Not to mention that it would be hard
