Hello everyone,
I bought the LCD-OLinuXino-5CTS and I'm using it on A20-OLinuXino-Micro with the last official Linux image.
I follow the guide to enable LCD screen with the command below

olinuxino monitor set LCD-OLinuXino-5

and now when I turn the board on, I can see the boot screen on the LCD panel but after the boot it becomes blank and nothing is shown.
I have access to SSH terminal and it works correctly so the boot is finished correctly, but I cannot see nothing on LCD.

Could you please help me to understand what's wrong?

Thank you!

This is not how you should set the display. After the board boots and after you login into Linux, run the "olinuxino-display" script and select proper entry then confirm selection and agree to reboot.

Notice that by default A20-OLinuXino-MICRO is setup for resistive touch screen operation. If you wish to have the capacitive touch screen working you need to change a resistor matrix.

For both things refer to "6.4. LCD cable" from the manual:

Thank you very much for your hint! Now it works perfectly.
I was looking the LCD selection guide PDF instead of the guide you linked.

Thanks again for your help!
