Now i'm wondering if someone has some experience to get this working on the pine64 since I've only got a blank screen without any image via the hdmi. On the Raspberry it was almost like plug-and-play with 'raspbian'.
 
I've got the display powered through the Pi 2 bus, ordered by the gpio layout and the layout on the display.  I do use the Ubuntu mate Image atm.

Is someone able to help me out and is prepared to share knowledge? ^^,

You have to make sure that the HDMI output matches something your display can support, I am not sure if your display's resolution is a supported mode atm... check here https://github.com/longsleep/sunxi-disp-tool#available-hdmi-output-names

Thanks for your respond. But despite of your references the solution did not work for me, as so far. none of the both options won't display more than a black striped noise:

Code:

cat <<EOF| sudo tee -a /boot/uEnv.txt
optargs=disp.screen0_output_mode=480p //or i
EOF

Code:

sunxi-disp-tool switch -mode 0
sunxi-disp-tool switch -mode 2

But the strange thing is that the pi just works straight ahead..

If I take a view to the config, which are available on the rpi2, the /boot/config.txt would give me the opportunity to set some config according to my hdmi output for my display..

Code:

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1 //disabled
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0

resolution 800 x 480,
refresh 60Hz,
aspect ratio 15:9,
no margins,
no interlace,
normal blanking

It doesn't even matter to me if the touch function is working or not.. But only a output to the display is enough
