Results of attempting to use Tontec 2.8 screen with Raspberry Pi
Raw
gistfile1.txt
If tontec plugged in on boot, immediately gives 'sh: can't access tty: job control turned off' and a "/ #" prompt.
If tontec plugged not plugged in, boot gets to "Initializing TFT Screen" and seems to hang there. Can ssh into the RP at this point.
Plugging tontec in at this point does not produce an image on the tontec. However, Button 4 on the tontec *does* reboot the RP.
Plugging the tontec in after we get to the bootloader but before actual boot screen produces the same effect.
For what it's worth, plugging the tontec in backwards (not that there's any indication of which way to plug it in) - i.e. with the pins in the wrong direction, seems to cut the power to the RP.
