Enabling LCD in Redboot on mx257

[sletter]

I am missing something in the early initialization that is needed to get the LCD display working in the boot loader.  I used the BSP version of Linux as a guide,  I am not quite sure what it is I am missing.  Some settings here may be particular to our touchscreen.

That was the problem.  Shutting it down, configuring, and turning it back on (was doing that) was the answer.  Thanks!

It is our own board, the backlight is fine.   I am not using the graphics and it is usually not configured but I included them for completeness.  I'll give this a look and see if it helps (LCD_En)

Hello,

If the board is a Freescale PDK, the backlight is controlled by the MC34704. By default, REG1 is off, and it has to be turned on with an I2C command.

LCD_En signal has to be controller too.

Basically, I/Os, clocks, and LCDC have to be configured properly.

The clock configuration seems correct, though LCDC_EN in CCM_CGCR1 should be enabled before accessing the LCDC registers. It allows the programming of the registers.

Unless it is needed, I won't enable the graphic window capability at this stage. If enabled but not used, it generates unnecessary memory traffic.
