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 for the Rev 2.1 one, it will lead touch function not to work.
Raspbian Image (supports Rev 2.1 LCD)
- Raspbian boot up image (No difference from the official image except for config.txt)
