Raspberry Pi Display Solutions
What Operating Systems are supported to work with 4DPi products?
We only provide 4DPi kernel packages for the official Raspberry Pi OS (previously Raspbian OS). However, it should be possible to build the drivers for your target operating system from the source code provided. Note that it is up to the user to get this to work.
The latest 4DPi source code is available here
How should I choose the 4DPi kernel package I need to use?
Our kernel packages include in their filename the kernel version of the Raspberry Pi OS used to build it. We recommend using the kernel package that matches the same kernel of your target OS version.
I can't find a 4DPi kernel package that matches my OS kernel version. What should I do?
We recommend using a kernel package that matches the same kernel of your target OS version. If this is not available, you can attempt to build the kernel from source.

There is a new release of Raspberry Pi OS. Will there be a new kernel package release for 4DPi products?
We try to keep up with a new kernel package for every Raspberry Pi OS release depending on customer demands. However, with the decline in interested customers and due to some breaking changes introduced since the Bullseye release, we opted to support only up to the most recent Buster OS released with the 4DPi package for kernel 5.10.103.
If you ever need a need a new kernel package, you can attempt to build from source. The latest 4DPi source code is available here
Can I use 4DPi products with other Linux machines that are pin-compatible with Raspberry Pi?
We only provide 4DPi kernel packages for the Raspberry Pi boards. However, it should be possible to edit the source code and build the drivers for your target hardware. Note that it is up to the user to get this to work.

I have some issues with my 4DPi. What could be the cause?
Most 4DPi issues can easily be solved by ensuring that you are using a kernel package that matches or is closest to the Raspberry Pi OS kernel version you have.
Please refer to the filename of the package for the kernel version it is compiled with.
I am using a Raspberry Pi alternative. Will 4DPi displays still work?
4DPi displays are developed specifically for Raspberry Pi. However, the source code for the kernel drivers is provided for anyone who wishes to port it to another single board computer.
