Touchscreen activation on i.MX53 QSB

[Xavier]

Hi,

I am porting a 7" LCD on i.MX53 QSB with capacitive touchscreen. I am under ANDROID. The touchscreen has an USB interface and is recognized during kernel boot :

input: eGalax Inc. USB TouchController as /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.1/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/input/input0
generic-usb 0003:0EEF:7304.0001: input: USB HID v2.10 Pointer [eGalax Inc. USB TouchController] on usb-fsl-ehci.1-1/input0

When i press on the touchscreen there are no movements.

With getevent, all interrupts are detetected :

# getevent
could not get driver version for /dev/input/mice, Not a typewriter
add device 1: /dev/input/event0
  name:     "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
could not get driver version for /dev/input/mouse0, Not a typewriter
/dev/input/event0: 0003 0002 00000616
/dev/input/event0: 0003 0003 00000492
/dev/input/event0: 0000 0000 00000000
/dev/input/event0: 0004 0004 00090001
/dev/input/event0: 0001 0110 00000001

...

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Xavier

Add a new VENDOR ID and DEVICE ID in the "hid-ids" and a new entry in the "hid-core" (drivers/hid).

Be sure that the egalax module is checked in your kernel config.

HI,

 getevent doesn't publish all the event message sequence for every touch. It is getting publish sporadically. I am using eGalax USB TouchController. Is there any configuration required for the events to get publish consistently? Please help.

 Logs are as below:

$ getevent -p

add device 2: /dev/input/event2
  name:     "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
  events:
    SYN (0000): 0000  0001  0003
    KEY (0001): 014a*

                0001  value 633, min 0, max 2047, fuzz 0 flat 0

$ getevent /dev/input/event2

0001 014a 00000000

Hi Xavier,

I am also facing the same problem in Android on IMX53 ARDboard with Egalax touch screen. Could you please share what is the settings you were able to do with touchscreen ID and the driver usbtouchscreen.

Regards,

Swamy

I have solved the problem.

It was a problem of identification between the touchscreen ID and the driver usbtouchscreen.

Thanks.

[daiane_angolini]

Can you, please, share some patch or some command line (some specific information)? I´m sure you can help someone else. I saw a lot of buzz around eGalaxy touchscreen.. Thanks in advance

I have never worked with this touchscreen, so I´m don´t know.

But it looks like you will need to initialize your touchscreen if you want it running.

I even know if you can include this initialization on idc file.

[Xavier]

Hi Daiane,

I have tried it. Now, if I put the idc file, I havn't the error, but it doesn't change anything.

Just a precision, the touchscreen is powered by the imx53 card (not by the USB). So if I plug on the touchscreen (D- and D+) on a computer, it is worked (the power is always maintained by imx53_qsb). So if I plug off from the computer, and I plug on the touchscreen on the imx53_qsb, it is detected and all is ok. I can navigate under android screens.

Is there an init sequence that have to be sent to the touchscreen driver ?

[daiane_angolini]

It looks like android is missing a configuration file.

I/InputManager-Callbacks( 2061): No input device calibration properties found for device eGalax Inc. USB TouchController.

Please, take a look on <my_android>/frameworks/base/libs/ui/EventHub.cpp to see how your source code looks for that file.

I attached a sample touchscreen configuration file. You can give it a try. After that, you can configure your touch the way you want.

You should place your configuration file here:

/system/user/idc/

Please, change file name using your vendor ID, your product ID and so on. You can find the info on your logcat:

I/EventHub( 2061): New device: path=/dev/input/event1 name=eGalax Inc. USB TouchController id=0x10001 (of 0x2) index=2 fd=106 classes=0x4

I/InputReader( 2061): Device added: id=0x10001, name=eGalax Inc. USB TouchController, sources=00001002

Give it a try and let me know the results.

Hi Daiane,

It's right, I can see all events with "getevent". The kernel supports and detects my touchscreen, but in Android, it doesn't work.

It is a capacitive touchscreen, so I don't think it is necessary to calibrate it.

I have joined the log of the kernel and the logcat.

[daiane_angolini]

Sorry I did not understand.

1 - you can see all "touches" using getenv

2- touchscreen does not work on Android like on home screen or any application

Is that rigtht?

1 - If you can see events from getenv, your kernel supports your touchscreen, right?

2 - Does your touchscreen need to be calibrated?

Can you share the logcat? Android can recognize your touchscreen?
