MIDAS DISPLAYS MDT0520COH-HDMI TFT-LCD, 5.2 ", 480 x 128 Pixel

I don’t know how to setup this Display .
I can only see a part on the right display side .
Does anyone know what to do ?
Thank’s

Please post a picture of the display showing the issue.

Also please post the output of

cat /boot/config.txt

and

cat /boot/userconfig.txt


If I add “dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=480 128 60 3 0 0 0” ,
I get a corrupt Display with small stripes .
I’ve also tested r-audio1 and the Display looks like the 2.picture
without adding anything to the config.txt .
If I add the lines it also shows only small stripes.

Please post the output of

cat /boot/config.txt

and

cat /boot/userconfig.txt

config.txt :

initramfs volumio.initrd
gpu_mem=32
max_usb_current=1
dtparam=audio=on
audio_pwm_mode=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
disable_splash=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
force_eeprom_read=0

include userconfig.txt

#### Volumio i2s setting below: do not alter ####
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi-pro

userconfig.txt : # Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates

So userconfig.txt is empty

Please post a picture of the display with these settings.

Do you use the TFP401 decoder with the display?


After installing the touch-display plugin it looks like this .
The display has a native HDMI-Input , so I don’t use an additioal decoder.

Try adding the following lines to “/boot/userconfig.txt”:

hdmi_cvt=480 128 60
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
max_framebuffer_width=480
max_framebuffer_height=128
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=128


Thank’s , but it did not work .

Please head over to the Touch Display plugin configuration page and try a scale factor of e.g. 50.

No Chance , I’ll give it up for today .

Please post the results of

tvservice -m DMT

tvservice -m CEA

and

tvservice -s

Group DMT has 1 modes:
(prefer) mode 4: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive

Group CEA has 2 modes:
mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
tvservice -s
state 0xa [HDMI DMT (4) RGB full 4:3], 640x480 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

Please check if adding

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

in front of “hdmi_cvt” has an effect.

I’ve got some working settings now . Still need to play with “Overscan-Settings”
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=640 0 30 10 30 480 0 10 3 10 0 0 0 60 0 25000000 6
overscan_left=0
overscan_right=155
overscan_top=0
overscan_bottom=32
framebuffer_width=640
framebuffer_height=480
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Great!
