I’m trying to get a Waveshare 2-inch LCD display (ST7789, SPI, 240x320) working on a Raspberry Pi 5, but I haven’t been able to get any output.
My goal is to use the display to show basic system information like CPU temperature and usage.
So far I’ve:
Installed a fresh version of Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm, 64-bit)
Enabled SPI through raspi-config
Wired the display according to Waveshare’s documentation
Installed and attempted to run the drivers from Waveshare
Issue:
The display remains [insert exact behavior here: blank / white screen / flickering / partial image] and does not show any usable output.

Setup:
Raspberry Pi 5
Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm, 64-bit)
Waveshare 2” LCD (ST7789, SPI)
I’m not sure if this display is fully compatible with the Pi 5 or if the existing Waveshare drivers are outdated with the newer kernel.
If anyone has this display working on a Raspberry Pi 5, I’d really appreciate any guidance on what drivers or setup method you used.
I can provide wiring photos or logs if needed.

If anyone can help, I’d greatly appreciate it. I’ve tried using ChatGPT to help and it hasn’t helped and I’ve been trying to do this for three days straight now with no luck

Thank you my fellow pi’s
