Hi Peter,

Maybe try the following additions at the config.txt file (on the boot/vfat partition of the SD card):

# for adafruit 2.8 tft                                                        
dtparam=spi=on                                                                
dtparam=i2c1=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=pitft28-capacitive.dtbo


Enable the following at the buildroot .config file:

BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS=y

And copy images/rpi-firmware/overlays/pitft28-capacitive.dtbo to overlays/pitft28-capacitive.dtbo
on the boot/vfat partition of the SD card...

Regards,
Peter
