Raspberry pi 2 support

[locusf]

Hello,

Does this firmware first of all support:

• PiScreen
• Raspberry pi 2

I could wait if you want to make the support yourself, just refer this issue.

I added and tested piscreen support some time ago: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/blob/master/fbtft_device.c#L679

I just received a Pi 2, and hope to look into it this evening.

waiting for updates notro !
I will receive my Pi2 in something like 15 days, with the hope it will works…

With a fix to the SPI DMA driver, I have FBTFT working on the Pi 2.
Tomorrow I'll change my build scripts to handle this 2 kernel situation (Pi1: kernel.img and Pi2: kernel7.img).

Pi2 support is added in the latest firmware. Please try it.
I have added some text here: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki#install

Thank you!

I still can't make the piscreen work yet, it seems that the device isn't even powering up at all and no devices for the touchscreen can be found.

I suggest you contact ozzmaker about this.
The overlay was testet with a PiScreen I have from one of the first batches.

Yes I got it working, I just needed to add dtoverlay=piscreen to config.txt instead of cmdline.txt. lol
