The display can be rotated to the desired position by adding the display_lcd_rotate setting to the config.txt file as below, please see the official documentation at https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html for more details.
 +
 +
 +
No Rotation (Landscape)
 +
display_lcd_rotate=0
 +
 +
Rotate 90 degrees clockwise (Portrait)
 +
display_lcd_rotate=1
 +
 +
Rotate 180 degrees clockwise (Landscape)
 +
display_lcd_rotate=2
 +
 +
Rotate 270 degrees clockwise (Portrait)
 +
display_lcd_rotate=3
 +
 +
 +
To match the rotation of the touchscreen to the rotation of the display you must call the TouchDeviceControl() API function with the TOUCH_CONTROL_SET_ROTATION request and pass the appropriate touch rotation constant in argument1, eg TOUCH_ROTATION_180.
 +
 +
The touch device representing the touchscreen can be found by calling the API function TouchDeviceFindByDescription() with "Raspberry Pi FT5406 Touch Controller" as the value of the description parameter.
 +
 +
The touchscreen rotation values match with the display rotations as follows:
 +
 +
display_lcd_rotate=0 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_0
 +
display_lcd_rotate=1 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_90
 +
display_lcd_rotate=2 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_180
 +
display_lcd_rotate=3 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_270
 +
 +
Note that if you use the alternate lcd_rotate setting instead which uses the inbuilt flip functionality within the LCD then you do not need to set the touchscreen rotation as the LCD/GPU automatically reverse the values reported. The lcd_rotate only allows flipping the screen 180 degrees so only lcd_rotate=0 and lcd_rotate=2 are valid values.

Description

Raspberry Pi FT5406 Touch Driver unit

This is the touchscreen driver for the Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen. While this device uses a FocalTech FT5406 10 point capacitive touchscreen controller it is actually connected to the GPU and not directly accessible to the ARM processor.

In order to make the touchscreen data available the GPU provides a memory based interface that can be read by polling an address returned from a mailbox call.

The Linux driver uses a thread to poll the data approximately 60 times per second so this driver does something similar.

The display can be rotated to the desired position by adding the display_lcd_rotate setting to the config.txt file as below, please see the official documentation at https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html for more details.


No Rotation (Landscape) 

display_lcd_rotate=0

Rotate 90 degrees clockwise (Portrait) 

display_lcd_rotate=1

Rotate 180 degrees clockwise (Landscape) 

display_lcd_rotate=2

Rotate 270 degrees clockwise (Portrait) 

display_lcd_rotate=3


To match the rotation of the touchscreen to the rotation of the display you must call the TouchDeviceControl() API function with the TOUCH_CONTROL_SET_ROTATION request and pass the appropriate touch rotation constant in argument1, eg TOUCH_ROTATION_180.

The touch device representing the touchscreen can be found by calling the API function TouchDeviceFindByDescription() with "Raspberry Pi FT5406 Touch Controller" as the value of the description parameter.

The touchscreen rotation values match with the display rotations as follows: 

display_lcd_rotate=0 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_0
display_lcd_rotate=1 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_90
display_lcd_rotate=2 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_180
display_lcd_rotate=3 equals TOUCH_ROTATION_270

Note that if you use the alternate lcd_rotate setting instead which uses the inbuilt flip functionality within the LCD then you do not need to set the touchscreen rotation as the LCD/GPU automatically reverse the values reported. The lcd_rotate only allows flipping the screen 180 degrees so only lcd_rotate=0 and lcd_rotate=2 are valid values.
