An LCD with Rev 2.1 firmware does not require any drivers, that is, touch function works properly without installing any software. So we did not provide any drivers and images for Rev 2.1 LCDs. The following drivers are only available for the LCD with Rev 1.1 firmware. But if you install the driver to the Rev 2.1 one, it will lead touch function not to work.

−
=== Rev2.1 New Features ===
+
If this LCD module is used for display only, you can program the latest Angstrom image file to the board directly without any change. The BeagleBone will read the display parameters of the 7 inch HDMI displayer and set the resolution to 1024*600 automatically.
−
* Upgrade to IPS screen, wider viewing angle, more clear displaying.
+
When using this LCD module as a touch screen, you should program the image file '''[https://pan.baidu.com/share/init?surl=dF8Oivn 7inch HDMI LCD (H) Angstrom Image]'''. The password is '''re3y'''. Please follow the steps below to program the image file.

* Standard HID protocol, easy to be integrated into your system.

# Download the zip file to your PC, unzip it and get an .img file.

* For the Raspberry Pi, supports Raspbian, Ubuntu Mate, single touch, and driver free.

# Connect a TF card to your PC, and format your TF card with the SDFormatter.exe
−
* When work as a computer monitor, supports Windows 10/8.1/8/7, five-points touch, and driver free.

=== Rev1.1 and before ===
+
# Start the Win32DiskImager.exe, and select the system image file copied into your PC, then, click the button Write to program the system image file.
−
* For the Raspberry Pi, comes with Raspbian driver (works with your Raspbian directly), and Ubuntu image.
+
# After programming the image file, please insert the TF card to your board, press the key uBOOT and hold it till power up. Then, you will enter the system located at the TF card. Wait a moment and you will enter the graphical desktop directly.
−
* When work as a computer monitor, touch function is unavailable.
 
−
=== How to distinguish ===
 
−
* See the backside of your LCD. The Revision number "Rev2.1" printed means that the LCD firmware is Rev 2.1.
 
−
* However, "Rev1.1" printed on the backside doesn't mean that the LCD firmware must be Rev 1.1. Generally speaking, a LCD shipped after January 1, 2016 may be a Rev 2.1 one, although it was printed "Rev1.1".

'''Note:'''
+
===Hardware connection===
−
The only difference between Rev 1.1 and Rev 2.1 is the firmware, but hardware solutions, placement and routing are all the same. (PCB printings might be different due to different production batches.)
+
# Connect the LCD to the HDMI on the BeagleBone board with a HDMI to micro HDMI cable (sold separately);
−
 
+
# Connect the USB Touch interface on the LCD to the USB interface on the BeagleBone board with a type-A-to-micro USB cable. (BeagleBone has two USB interfaces, one for host and the other for client. In here, you should connect the LCD module to the USB host interface).
−
You can verify the firmware by these steps:
 
−
 
 
−
1. Using Raspberry Pi: Connect the LCD to your Pi (HDMI Port of LCD -> HDMI Port of Pi; USB Port of LCD -> USB Port of Pi; 5V~2A power supply). Download the image, e.g. Raspbian, from [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ Raspberry Pi web site]. Write the image to a TF card and add the following code to the end of /boot/config.txt:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
max_usb_current=1
 
−
hdmi_group=2
 
−
hdmi_mode=87
 
−
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
 
−
hdmi_drive=1
 
−
</pre>
 
−
You must make sure that there are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.
 
−
 
 
−
Save and connect the TF card to your Pi then power up. If touch works, that means the firmware revision is Rev 2.1.
 
−
 
 
−
2. Without Raspberry Pi: A PC (Windows 10/8.1/8/7) is required which cannot connect with other display device. Connect the LCD to your PC (USB Port of LCD -> USB Port of PC; HDMI Port of LCD -> HDMI Port of PC. Please first connect the USB Ports then connect the HDMI Port). If a new touch drive is recognized by Windows, that means the firmware revision is Rev 2.1. In this case, after the driver successfully installed, you can use the LCD as a human interface device.
 
−
 
 
−
* If the touch function doesn't work properly after these steps, the firmware revision is often Rev 1.1, which can also work by other methods, see [[7inch HDMI LCD (B) (Firmware Rev 1.1) User Manual|Rev 1.1 Manual]].

Working with Raspberry Pi

Supports Raspbian/Ubuntu mate/Windows 10 iot Core

When working with Raspberry Pi, you should set the resolution of the LCD by yourself, or else the LCD screen will not work. For more detail information, please read the following section.

Download the Raspbian image from Raspberry Pi web site. Write the image to a TF card and append the following lines to the config.txt file which is located in the root of your TF card: 

max_usb_current=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1 
config_hdmi_boost=10
hdmi_group=2 
hdmi_mode=87 
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0

You must make sure that there are no spaces on either side of the equal sign.

Connect the Touch interface of LCD to USB port of Raspberry Pi

Connect HDMI interface of LCD to HDMI port of Raspberry Pi

Save and connect the TF card to your Pi then power up.


Note:

  • Resolution of Ubuntu Mate OS or Windows 10 IoT Core OS can also be set properly by editing config.txt.
  • For Pi Zero / Zero W: if you've used an SD card on a Pi 3 and then attached the card to the Pi Zero, the touch screen often doesn't work. In such cases, you have to write a fresh system image to the SD card. The first boot up must be done on the Pi Zero but not Pi 3, due to initialization for a corresponding device.

Working with BeagleBone

How to program Angstrom image file

If this LCD module is used for display only, you can program the latest Angstrom image file to the board directly without any change. The BeagleBone will read the display parameters of the 7 inch HDMI displayer and set the resolution to 1024*600 automatically. When using this LCD module as a touch screen, you should program the image file 7inch HDMI LCD (H) Angstrom Image. The password is re3y. Please follow the steps below to program the image file.

  1. Download the zip file to your PC, unzip it and get an .img file.
  2. Connect a TF card to your PC, and format your TF card with the SDFormatter.exe
    Notices: The capability of TF card in used here should be more than 4GB. In this operation, a TF card reader is also required, which has to be purchased separately.
  3. Start the Win32DiskImager.exe, and select the system image file copied into your PC, then, click the button Write to program the system image file.
  4. After programming the image file, please insert the TF card to your board, press the key uBOOT and hold it till power up. Then, you will enter the system located at the TF card. Wait a moment and you will enter the graphical desktop directly.

Hardware connection

  1. Connect the LCD to the HDMI on the BeagleBone board with a HDMI to micro HDMI cable (sold separately);
  2. Connect the USB Touch interface on the LCD to the USB interface on the BeagleBone board with a type-A-to-micro USB cable. (BeagleBone has two USB interfaces, one for host and the other for client. In here, you should connect the LCD module to the USB host interface).

Anti-Piracy

Since the first-generation Raspberry Pi released, Waveshare has been working on designing, developing, and producing various fantastic touch LCDs for the Pi. Unfortunately, there are quite a few pirated/knock-off products in the market. They're usually some poor copies of our early hardware revisions, and comes with none support service.

To avoid becoming a victim of pirated products, please pay attention to the following features when purchasing:
