3.2" 3.5" 5.0" 7.0" TFT LCD Kali driver for the Raspberry PI and PI 2 and PI 3

Set up Kali linux on RPi 3 B+

After fork and adjust files we can run two commands:

1. ./RUN_LCD
2. ./RUN_HDMI

And we know everything will be working on RPi 3 B+ and kali-linux-2021.3.

Instructions below are related to the original project.

How to set up LCD 3.5" MPI3508

Used system kali-linux-2021.3-rpi4-nexmon-arm64.img.xz

1. Install kali on sd card using balenaEtcher
2. Create backup of config.txt file sudo cp /boot/config.txt /boot/config.txt.bk
3. Run kali (l: kali, p: kali) and connect with the Internet
4. Clone repo git clone https://github.com/lcdwiki/LCD-show-kali
5. Run command cd LCD-show-kali && sudo ./LCD35-show

• now RPi will reboot and show kernel error

1. Open SD card on the different computer and copy and replace code from config.txt.bk to /boot/config.txt without last section, which should be like this:

... rest of code from config.txt ...

# If you would like to enable USB booting on your Pi, uncomment the following line.
# Boot from microsd card with it, then reboot.
# Don't forget to comment this back out after using, especially if you plan to use
# sdcard with multiple machines!
# NOTE: This ONLY works with the Raspberry Pi 3+
#program_usb_boot_mode=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=spi=on
enable_uart=1
dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=270

7. Update packages apt update

• now rpi should works with TFT LCD 3.5

8. Instalal package for calibration apt-get install xinput-calibrator.
9. Edit file sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf with configuration:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier      "calibration"
    MatchProduct    "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
    Option  "Calibration"   "160 3723 3896 181"
	Option  "SwapAxes"	"1"
	Option	"TransformationMatrix"  "1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 1"
EndSection

10. Reboot system by: reboot command and be happy with your kali linux on LCD.

• To calibrate touch screen run command xinput-calibrator

• If you want back to HDMI connection run script cd LCD-show-kali && sudo ./LCD35-show
