1. Description
These patches are used to support MPU 8080 LCD on L3.14.52_1.1.0_GA BSP.
They are based on ELCDIF hardware module, iMX6UL and iMX7D is the reference platform.
2. File List
-- 0001-Add-ST7789S-MPU-LCD-support-for-iMX6UL-board.patch
Patch to support MPU display for iMX6UL, ST7789S 240*320 panel is the example.
-- 0002-Add-ST7735R-MPU-LCD-support-for-iMX7D-board.patch
Patch to support MPU display for iMX7D, ST7735R 128*128 panel is the example.
-- readme.txt
this file, please refer to it before use the patches
3. Requirement
- iMX6UL EVK board or iMX7D SabreSD board.
- L3.14.52_1.1.0_GA kernel.
4. How to use
-- Copy the patch files to kernel folder.
$ cd ~/L3.14.52_GA1.1.0/build-imx7dsabresd-X11/tmp/work/imx7dsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-imx/3.14.52-r0/git
$ git apply ./0001-Add-ST7789S-MPU-LCD-support-for-iMX6UL-board.patch
$ git apply ./0002-Add-ST7735R-MPU-LCD-support-for-iMX7D-board.patch
-- Build the new kernel image:
$ cd ~/L3.14.52_GA1.1.0/build-imx7dsabresd-X11/tmp/work/imx7dsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-imx/3.14.52-r0/git
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=~/L3.14.52_GA1.1.0/build-imx7dsabresd-X11/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-
$ export ARCH=arm
$ make imx_v7_defconfig
$ make zImage
$ make dtbs
5. How to add a new MPU panel
1) in dts file, such as imx6ul-14x14-evk-i80lcd.dts, update the panel name "lcd_panel",
update the PINs in "pinctrl_lcdif_dat" and "pinctrl_lcdif_ctrl" for the new panel,
the reset and rs PINs can be from GPIO pin, lcd_reset_gpio and lcd_rs_gpio.
&lcdif {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_lcdif_dat
&pinctrl_lcdif_ctrl>;
display = <&display0>;
status = "okay";
display0: display {
mpu-mode;
lcd_reset_gpio = <&gpio3 14 0>;
lcd_panel = "ST7789S-QVGA";
};
};
2) Reference to "mxsfb_st7789s_qvga.c", add a new panel driver code.
3) Add the new panel support in Makefile and Kconfig under "drivers/video/mxc/"
4) Add the new panel support in file "mxsfb.c" and "mxsfb.h"
5) Add the new panel support in default kernel config file "imx_v7_defconfig"
Note: mpu_lcd_fb_test.tar.gz is the test application, for 8080 display, it is not sync display, so software need call ioctl to refresh the LCD.
