1) Download and install the tool software (if already installed, this step can be ignored)

SD card formatting software SDFormatter download link:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

Image burning software Win32DiskImager download link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

2) Format the SD card

Insert the SD card into the card reader -> plug the card reader into the computer -> open the SDFormatter software -> select the SD card -> select Quick format
(Generally choose quick format, other options can be chosen according to your own needs) -> click the Format button -> select "Yes" -> click OK after formatting is complete.

3) Burn the image

Open the Win32DiskImager software -> select the image file (xxx.img) that needs to be burned -> select the SD card -> click the "write" button ->select "Yes" -> wait for the burning to complete (the whole process lasts about 10 minutes)

Step 3, Modify the "config.txt" configuration file

Modification method
Open the config.txt file in the root directory of the Micro SD card and add the following code at the end of the file, save and safely eject the Micro SD card:

max_usb_current=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=1
hdmi_cvt 480 480 60 6 0 0 0

Insert the Micro SD card into the Raspberry Pi, connect the HDMI cable to the Raspberry Pi and the LCD, connect the USB cable to any of the4 USB ports of the Raspberry Pi, and connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port of the LCD, then power on the Raspberry Pi, if display is normal, the driver is successful (please use a sufficient 2A power supply)

Step 4, insert the SD card

After completing the above steps, eject the SD card from the computer and then insert it into the SD card slot on the back of the Raspberry Pi.

Step 5, run the system

How to Install Drivers

Method 1: Online Installation

This guide applies to all Raspberry Pi LCD models. The Raspberry Pi board must be connected to the internet during installation.

Step 1: Install the Official Raspbian Image

1) Download the latest Raspbian image from the official website: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

2) Format the Micro SD card using SDFormatter.

3) Use Win32DiskImager to burn the official image onto the Micro SD card.

Step 2: Obtain the LCD Driver

Log in to the Raspberry Pi system via the user command line (initial username: pi, password: raspberry)

Obtain the latest driver from GitHub (Raspberry Pi must be connected to the internet)

sudo rm -rf LCD-show

git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git

chmod -R 755 LCD-show

cd LCD-show/

Step 3: Install LCD Driver

# For the 2.4-inch Raspberry Pi LCD (MPI2401), execute:

sudo ./LCD24-show

# For the 2.8-inch Raspberry Pi LCD (MPI2801), execute:

sudo ./LCD28-show

#For a 3.2-inch Raspberry Pi LCD (MPI3201), run:

sudo ./LCD32-show

#For a 3.5-inch Raspberry Pi LCD (MPI3501), run:

sudo ./LCD35-show

# If using a 4.0-inch Raspberry Pi LCD (MPI4008), run:

sudo ./MPI4008-show

# If using a 5-inch Raspberry Pi resistive touchscreen (MPI5008), run:

sudo ./LCD5-show

# If using a 5-inch Raspberry Pi capacitive touchscreen (MPI5001), execute:

sudo ./MPI5001-show

# If using a 7-inch HDMI Display-B-800X480 (MPI7001), execute:

sudo ./LCD7B-show

# If using a 7-inch HDMI Display-C-1024X600 (MPI7002), execute:

sudo ./LCD7C-show

# To switch back to a traditional HDMI monitor, execute:

sudo ./LCD-hdmi

After executing the above command, wait a moment before using the corresponding Raspberry Pi LCD.

Method 2: Offline Installation
