You can find this display for purchase here. It is the equivalent of the Adafruit device.
You can make it work on Recalbox by configuring the file recalbox-user-config.txt
Remember that TFP401 driver has no video scaler! If you don't feed it exactly 800×480 pixels, the image won't stretch and will shrink to fit! So we need to configure the resolution in the recalbox-user-config.txt
file.
recalbox-user-config.txt
file with nano or vim and add this:# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (here we are forcing 800x480!)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0
max_usb_current=1
The line max_usb_current=1
increases the maximum USB output current of the Pi. This way, your Pi will provide enough power to your display. Make sure that the main power supply is powerful enough for all your devices.
If the image does not have the correct resolution when emulated, you will need to modify the recalbox.conf
file and change the global.videomode
variable:
global.videomode=default
To use the default configuration of the config.txt
file.
See this message to see this in pictures.
You can find one for a decent price here or there.

max_usb_current=1

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
The max_usb_current=1
line increases the Pi's maximum USB output current if your display is USB powered. Use hdmi_max_current=1
if the display is powered by HDMI. This way, your Pi will provide enough power to your display. Make sure the main power supply is powerful enough for all your devices (5V-3A). For a larger screen (10" and more), make sure you use an external power supply.
If the image does not have the correct resolution when emulated, you will need to modify the recalbox.conf
file and change the global.videomode
variable:
global.videomode=default
You can set the custom mode through this page.
