I have a 2.4" TFT LCD display that also has a SPI-based SD card reader on it.  I'd like to interface it to my BeagleBone Black.  I see there's a Pocket Beagle device tree[1] for a SPI-based micro sd on a click board.  

Could this project be as easy as editing this dt to change it to the BBB's SPI bus?  What am I missing?

Hi Mark,

What model of TFT screen is this? Specifically what chip is used for the LCD driver?

Have you got the screen up and running? 

If so, what driver/library did you use?

It's running a pygame-based weather app right now.  Details:  https://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_12a_2.4_TFT_LCD_display_via_SPI
