iMX6 Linux BSP support for System-80 LCDs

[erezsteinberg]

Dear experts--

I need to connect an LCD with a System-80 (Aka. Intel-80) to an iMX6 Solo (8-bit Async Parallel i/f)

According to the Reference Manual, the IPUv3 DI has support for this interface, but I read an old thread that the Linux BSP drivers do not include support.

Has this support be added in more recent releases?

Has anyone successfully connected a System-80 LCD to an IMX6?

Sincerely,

Erez

Attached is the system 80 LCD patch for iMX51 3DS board, maybe you can reference to it.

The panel is GPM722A0, the controller chip is ILI9320.

Any estimate how complicated it is to create such a driver for iMX6 ?

[qiang_li-mpu_se]

I think it is not an easy task, too less people knows the IPU ADC well.

Another choise, maybe you can use GPIO to simulate the system-80 signal, it will be more easy.

I don't know of anyone here that has done that, but Qiang Li is right, there is no driver available, you would need to develop it.

Best regards,
Sergio

There is no such driver on iMX6.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you know, which LCD interfaces have drivers in the iMX6 Linux BSP?
