For convenience, I have included my `config.txt` and `edid.txt` this repo.

# Using Dasung Paperlike Pro-F and Pro-FT with Raspberry Pi 4

## Raspbian

The monitor works fine without any specific settings on the latest Raspbian.
It is important to use HDMI 1.4 micro-hdmi m -> hdmi f otherwise it will not work.
The only available resolution is 1600*1200.
I've extracted the edid from the Paperlike Pro monitor in case someone needs it.
There is more ghosting compared to normal use on a pc with windows 10.

## Ubuntu

I've extracted the edid from the Paperlike Pro monitor with the help of `get-edid` command.

On Ubuntu Core with installed standard ubuntu desktop I did:

1. Put `edid.dat` in `/boot/firmware/` dir.
2. Edit `/boot/firmware/usercfg.txt` and add `hdmi_edid_file=1` (see example config)

-----

- It is very important to use HDMI 1.4 micro-hdmi m -> hdmi f otherwise the monitor will not work but will show black dots noise.
- The only available resolution is 1600*1200.
