Pi 4 7inch Touch Screen

Post by cobash »

Hello!

I have a 7 inch touch screen that connects to the "display" port on the pi4. When I turn on the pi the screen goes white and slowly fades black. I tried the screen on a pi3 and it works fine. I tried it on the pi 4 the the stock pi os and it also works. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it? Here is a link to the screen I am using. I am also using the latest version of wtware.

Thanks!

I was able to figure it out.
There are 2 pieces that need done to get it working.

1. Need to add an overlay that I was able to pull from the base raspberry pi os.
/overlays/vc4-kms-dsi-7inch.dtbo

I added the file on the server so when I write a new SD card it is automatically copied every time.

2. config.txt -
[pi4]
Changed dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d to dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch

I am not sure if this is the "correct" way to do it. but it seems to be working.
