  2. Clone the waveshare device tree overlay git repository

  3. Copy waveshare-dtoverlays/waveshare35a-overlay.dtb from the repositroy to /boot/overlays/waveshare35a.dtbo

  4. Add dtoverlay=waveshare35a to /boot/config.txt

  5. Ensure SPI is enabled in /boot/config.txt

     dtparam=spi=on

  6. Reboot and use /dev/fb1 as the device for graphical output

     console=ttyAMA0,115200 fbcon=map:10 fbcon=font:ProFont6x11 consoleblank=0
