(Haiworld) LCD TFT Rpi3 drivers for kali?

Hi, i have just bought from haiworld store on amazon a '3,5 touchscreen

type: TFT
Interface: SPI

on the back of the lcd there is nothing write except :

3,5inch RPi Display
480x320 Pixel
xpt2046 Touch Controller

The link from the seller offered a raspian driver version only, but i need kali for my university project

I read a lot of thread about ppl asking for drivers, tried some guide, downloaded 2 differents customized distro including tft lcd drivers, but seems nothing is working, white screen, can anyone help me please?

Some answers would help me too

1- Should i search drivers for tft type ?

2-Should i find something related with haiwolrd seller or any ftf driver should work?

3-What is the correct procedure? (maybe is just my fault)


I have to complete my project in 2 weeks so would help a fix for my problem, i can send the lcd back but i will lose a lot of time :(

Thx for the answers!


Edit: any advice about a non expensive 3,5inch lcd 100% working with kali linux is apreciated

Hi Hexe,

Did they provide you with a link to their drivers? I wouldn't mind having a look at them.

Many thanks

I think is just a rasbian img with drivers included

^^ Did you already try re4son's Sticky Fingers?

https://whitedome.com.au/re4son/kali-pi/

yes actually i m using it (I apreciate his wole work!), with ssh in remote it s working but the screen is still white

But i will try another Sticky Fingers installation asap today, following step by step to be sure is not my fault
(but what of the re4son's screen list should i pick to set up the lcd? adafruit waveshare etc etc)

Ok the solution was easy, my lcd is a waveshare 3.5 clone so the setup worked with the 'wave35c' (./re4son-pi-tft-setup -t wave35c -d /home/pi )

Thx both of you! (Great job re4son!)
