How to use with Raspbian/Ubuntu Mate/Win10 IoT Core System

Step 1, Install Raspbian official image

1. Download the latest image from the official download.
2. Install the system according to the official tutorial steps.

Step 2, modify the “config.txt”

After the programming of Step1 is completed, open the config.txt file of TF card root directory and
add the following code at the end of the file, save and eject Micro SD Card safely:

max_usb_current=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=1
hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0

Step 3, Drive the 5inch HDMI Display-B with the Raspberry Pi

Insert the TF Card to Raspberry Pi, connect the Raspberry Pi and LCD by HDMI cable; connect USB cable to one of the four USB ports of Raspberry Pi, and connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port of the LCD; then supply power to Raspberry Pi; after that if the display and touch both are OK, it means drive successfully (please use the full 2A for power supply).

How to use as PC monitor

• Connect the computer HDMI output signal to the LCD HDMI interface by using the HDMI cable
• Connect the LCD’s USB Touch interface (Either of the two MicroUSB) to the USB port of the device
• If there are several monitors, please unplug other monitor connectors first, and use LCD as the only monitor for testing.

How to rotate the display direction

This method only applies to the Raspberry Pi series of display screens, other display screens do not apply.

• Method 1，If the driver is not installed, execute the following command (Raspberry Pi needs to connected to the Internet):

sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./XXX-show 90

After execution, the driver will be installed. The system will automatically restart, and the display screen will rotate 90 degrees to display and touch normally.
（ ‘ XXX-show ‘ can be changed to the corresponding driver, and ‘ 90 ‘ can be changed to 0, 90, 180 and 270, respectively representing rotation angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees）

• Method 2，If the driver is already installed, execute the following command:

cd LCD-show/
sudo ./rotate.sh 90

After execution, the system will automatically restart, and the display screen will rotate 90 degrees to display and touch normally.
（ ‘ 90 ‘ can be changed to 0, 90, 180 and 270, respectively representing rotation angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees）
If the rotate.sh prompt cannot be found, use Method 1 to install the latest drivers
