However once that is done, the touch panel works great, I have it running under armbian at the moment.

Help me out here because I'm a bit unsure what you are saying. I'm under the impression that Armbian is headless. How would the touch panel even be relevant in that environment?

Thanks again, cool.

Yep, pine64 7inch LCD.
Thanks. Hopefully it works for others as well.

If you follow the armbian build instructions but clone my repo instead of the official one:
apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/mbergstrand/lib --depth 1
cp lib/compile.sh .
./compile.sh

Select the following:
- Full OS image for writing to SD card
- pine64
- default kernel
- xenial
- Image with desktop environment

_Should_ give you an image with working LCD with touch out of the box.
As of today it's up to date with armbian and longsleeps kernel and I will try and keep it so, but I can't give any guarantees.

Note, I haven't tested this build without the LCD and I haven't tested multi-head with the HDMI at the same time.

When I tried to compile I get errors. I hope you can help me sort it out. Here they are
