Notes and version constraints
- With the Bullseye branch of Raspberry Pi OS, the KMS driver must be replaced by FKMS (dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d); for CSI cameras, the Raspicam library must additionally be installed.
- With multiple displays, touch defaults to the main screen; assigning it to a secondary screen requires manual configuration.
- Some PCs do not support HDMI hot-plug; restarting the PC may resolve the issue.
- Display flickering can be caused by insufficient USB power supply; connect an external power supply (5 V/2 A) to the DC port if needed.
- The mini-HDMI-to-VGA cable must be purchased separately when using VGA signals.
- PWM control of the backlight requires soldering a pad and removing a resistor; the exact implementation depends on the hardware revision and should be verified beforehand.
- Exact mounting hole specifications for the enclosure are not provided in the source; this information must be confirmed by the manufacturer.
