Raspbian, SPI-TFT-Display: How to disable fbtft at runtime and restore/reenable /dev/spidev0.0

Asked 2019-Nov-13 at 10:33

I would like to have fbtft showing boot splash screen at startup and then, when the boot is finished, start a program which directly talks to the display via /dev/spidev0.0

When I enable fbtft (modprobe fbtft_device and modprobe flexfb), the device /dev/spidev0.0 disappears, so the user program cannot talk to the display. How can I disable fbtft and reenable spidev at runtime? I tried

According to the developer of fbtft, the module fbtft_device does not restore the spidev device when unloaded. In order to restore it at runtime, one could create a Device Tree overlay that adds a spidev device and load it using the dtoverlay command.

As I have no experience in device tree, I followed an other idea of the fbftft developer (thanks for the hint): I made a initramfs with my own splashscreen program (using spidev), avoiding fbtft altogether.
