Update Driver

1. 
   
2. sudo REPO_URI=https://github.com/notro/rpi-firmware rpi-update
   
3. sudo shutdown -r now
   

Copy the Code

add in /etc/modules (end of file)

1. 
   
2. spi-sun7i
   
3. fbtft dma=0
   
4. fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9341 gpios=reset:25,dc:24,led:18 speed=16000000 rotate=90 bgr=1
   

Copy the Code

remove spi blacklist  in /etc/modeprobe.d  (2 file ? bpi-blacklist.conf and raspi-blacklist.conf)

reboot

test with fbtest

1. 
   
2. apt-get install libnetpbm10-dev
   
3. git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/fbtest.git
   
4. cd fbtest
   
5. # fb.c - remove #include <asm/page.h>
   
6. make
   
7. ./fbtest --fbdev /dev/fb2
   

Copy the Code

launch

1. con2fbmap 1 2

Copy the Code

and you can show console

for use this screen at boot edit /boot/uEnv.txt and add before rootwait

1. 
   
2. fbcon=map:2
   

Copy the Code

or for startX
Create a config file with following contents in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbdev.conf:

1. 
   
2. Section "Device"  
   
3.   Identifier "myfb"
   
4.   Driver "fbdev"
   
5.   Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb2"
   
6. EndSection
   

Copy the Code

Launch :

1. FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb2 startx

Copy the Code

Enjoy !!

Thank you for that great tutorial. I got my TFT (exactly the one from the wiring scheme) going on arduino, but not on the bananapi. I made the updates/upgrades, the changes in etc and downlaoded the fbtest. But there was no "#include <asm/page.h>". I run make, but with "./fbtest --fbdev /dev/fb2" I get the answer "open /dev/fb2: No such file or directory". In /dev I have only fb0 and fb1.
Without options I get: "root@lemaker:/home/bananapi/fbtest# ./fbtest --fbdev /dev/fb1

With options fb0 or fb1 I get in the end:"... test012: PASSED
ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
Caught signal 11. Exiting
Speicherzugriffsfehler" (=memory access error)
The screen is black all the time and as I said, the screen is working on arduino.
Than this:
"root@lemaker:/home/bananapi/fbtest# con2fbmap 1 2
ioctl FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP: Invalid argument"
root@lemaker:/home/bananapi/fbtest#  con2fbmap 1
console 1 is mapped to framebuffer 0
Where is the mistake?
Thank you, Deutz

I used Raspbian and it worked !!!Thank you c_lacata
