Installation

If you just plug in the DPI Kippah, it won't work on a fresh installation of Raspbian! You must set up the special

device tree overlay configuration!

However, its not too bad, check it out below!

Connect Display

The DPI Kippah has a 40-pin TFT connector. This is a semi-standard connector. A majority of 3.5", 4.3", 5.0" and 7.0"

dot-clock DPI displays have this 'standard 40-pin' connector.

Check the Downloads page for an example datasheet so you can check if your display is compatible. All Adafruit 40-

pin TFT TTL displays work, we do not guarantee any other displays work.

In fact, if you connect a display that does not match the right pinout, you could easily fry the display if the 20V

backlight pin ends up connected to a logic pin!

To connect, gently pull on the two black 'ears' on the FPC connector, and plug in the display so the gold/silver metalic

pins are facing 'up' away from the PCB.

We've only tested this device tree overlay/firmware with Raspbian. Since its a bit of a hack, it doesn't work

with the native pre-boot 'NooBS' screen. However, it does come up immediately with Raspbian (e.g. you get

to see the rainbow square screen)

Note these instructions are tested to work with Raspbian Jessie and Wheezy as of 2016/04/11
