8.8" 1920x480 letterbox LCD HSD088IPW1 with Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 1920x480 LCD

The HSD088IPW1 with Wisecoco HDMI driver board from Aliexpress.com work seemlessly with a PC but refused to play nicely with my Raspberry Pi until making these changes, tested with Raspbian (March2021) on a Pi Zero W.

These lines modified in /boot/config.txt file

# These lines for 1920x480 display
max_framebuffer_height=1920
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_timings=480 1 48 32 80 1920 0 3 10 56 0 0 0 60 0 75840000 3
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_force_mode=1
hdmi_drive=1
config_hdmi_boost=4

The default orientation is portrait. To rotate the display, include the line

lcd_rotate=1

Hello.

Raspberry PI3 model B with that display worked with:

max_framebuffer_height=1920
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_timings=480 1 48 32 80 1920 0 3 10 56 0 0 0 60 0 75840000 3
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_force_mode=1
hdmi_drive=1
config_hdmi_boost=4
display_hdmi_rotate=1

Any ideas to rotate de touch screen?

@ludufre Do you try my method?

append fbcon=rotate:3 (or 1) to /boot/cmdline.txt in order to rotate the screen in console mode, and then use xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate left (or right) to rotate in your desktop environment.

It is working on a piZero 2 which is almost the same as a pi3.

Hi @qtaped with the code I posted I have screen rotated even in console mode.
To rotate the touch screen orientation I solved with: https://gist.github.com/francip/4183e2a860af34dd4aa0d1c98366f76b?permalink_comment_id=5014209#gistcomment-5014209

@ludufre My bad, I though you were looking to rotate the screen not the touch part (I do not have a touch screen)
