Supported touch displays for Rapsberry

Hello,
I’ve just bought Waveshare DPI display but it requires some proprietary driver only for Raspbian and installed only thru Windows, so I found the hard way not all displays developed for Rpi will work plug&play.

What displays are supported by Balena OS?

I haven’t found info about it in Balena docs.

Btw, I found this archived project what could have been good list of hardware to choose from: GitHub - balena-labs-projects/fbcp: fbcp driver for SPI based displays for Raspberry Pis via fbcp-ili9341

Hi @Bobik,

In the past we were able to take the time to test peripherals with the devices we were supporting, but now that we support over 100, we just aren’t able to keep an updated list, hence that one being archived.

Typically what we recommend is for folks to try a display they’re interested in using, and if it doesn’t work out of the box, submit a PR to the device-type repo (this one for the Raspberry Pi) so that we can get the needed driver added for the next OS release.
