E14 - BeagleBone Black 2.2" SPI Lcd interfacing fbtft

22 Feb 2015

Hi Guys ,

First of all Thanks a ton Element14 for sending one of the BeagleBone Black to test I recently have interfaced a 2.2" SPI LCD 240x320 To the Element14 Beagle Bone Black. Below is a Working demonstration of the Display in action

I also made a breakout board for the above featuring

1. Easy Plug and play capability (Modular design)

2. Easy UART Access using a Standard arduino mini FTDI module

Quick Observations,

1. The board is officially BeagleBone Black compliant !! Still No BeagleBone Black Logo is present on board ??

2. This board uses the Latest AM3358 Chip instead of AM3359 one on previous versions.

3. It is an Exact replica of the original BeagleBone Black, and works PREFECTLY.

4. Finally, By default the E14 BBB comes with Debian pre-installed, my old BBB 2G version came with Armstrong installed

Thanks again to Element 14 for sending me a BeagleBone Black.

and please comment below if you want to know more.

Have you put together some sort of outline to follow to get this display to work? The video is missing some details and is very difficult to follow.

@Clem Martins Thanks, , Yes there's an SD card module, that does not share the same spi bus, I haven't interfaced that as for that have to write another application, preferably attach the SD to another spi bus on the BBB. For the 2.2" Example the DTO has definitions for the LCD SPI as well as a resistive touch screen (Although i don't have any touch panel connected)

Great review! You turned the lcd over twice. Was that a SD card slot behind the lcd? Does it work with your current wiring? Is there an aproximate cost?
Cheers,
Clem
