How to use with Raspbian/Ubuntu Mate/ Kali/ Retropie System

Method 1: quick install (raspberry pi needs Internet connection)

• 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: insert the SD card into the raspberry pie and connect the hardware as shown in the picture:

• Step 3,Install LCD driver

1) log in the raspberry pie system with Putty connection to the user command line (initial username: PI password :raspberry) 2) execute the following command (Mouse Right-click can paste the code in Putty):

sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./MPI3508-show

• After executing the above command, the system will restart automatically, and display and touch will be OK.

Method 2: offline installation

• Step 1: install the official image of Raspbian/Ubuntu                                                                      

1)Download the latest Raspbian or Ubuntu image from the official website https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

2)Format the TF card with SDFormatter,

3)Use Win32DiskImager to burn the official image to the TF card.

• Step 2, modify the “config.txt”                                                                               

After the step 1 completion of burning in the CD Driver in the folder “show-LCD.tar.gz” copy to TF-card root directory,

Open the config.txt file in TF-card root directory and add the following code to the end of the file. Save and colse TF card:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 480 320 60 6 0 0 0

• Step 3: insert the SD card into the raspberry pie and connect the hardware

• Step 4: power the raspberry, connect the mouse keyboard, and open the terminal terminal terminal on the raspberry pie: 

• Step 5. Enter the following instructions in the terminal terminal:

cd /boot
cp LCD-show.tar.gz ~
cd ~
sudo tar zxvf LCD-show.tar.gz 
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./MPI3508-show

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 Power interface 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.

Note: touch function can only be used for raspberry pi.

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
