Some resistive displays and board combinations may +require tuning of this threshold. The driver exposes some of it's +internal state in the sys filesystem. If the kernel is configured +with it, CONFIG_SYSFS, and sysfs is mounted at /sys, there will be a +directory + + /sys/devices/platform/adc-lh7.0 + +containing these files. + + -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 samples + -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold + -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold_range + +The threshold is the current touch threshold.

This README will help you +understand the configuration data and give you some guidance for +adding support for other panels if you wish. + + +lcd-panels.h +------------ + +There is no way, at present, to detect which panel is attached to the +system at runtime. Thus the kernel configuration is static. The file +arch/arm/mach-ld7a40x/lcd-panels.h (or similar) defines all of the +panel specific parameters. + +It should be possible for this data to be shared among several device +families. The current layout may be insufficiently general, but it is +amenable to improvement. + + +PIXEL_CLOCK +----------- + +The panel data sheets will give a range of acceptable pixel clocks. +The fundamental LCDCLK input frequency is divided down by a PCD +constant in field '.tim2'. It may happen that it is impossible to set +the pixel clock within this range. A clock which is too slow will +tend to flicker. For the highest quality image, set the clock as high +as possible. + + +MARGINS +------- + +These values may be difficult to glean from the panel data sheet. In +the case of the Sharp panels, the upper margin is explicitly called +out as a specific number of lines from the top of the frame. The +other values may not matter as much as the panels tend to +automatically center the image. + + +Sync Sense +---------- + +The sense of the hsync and vsync pulses may be called out in the data +sheet. On one panel, the sense of these pulses determine the height +of the visible region on the panel. Most of the Sharp panels use +negative sense sync pulses set by the TIM2_IHS and TIM2_IVS bits in +'.tim2'. + + +Pel Layout +---------- + +The Sharp color TFT panels are all configured for 16 bit direct color +modes. The amba-lcd driver sets the pel mode to 565 for 5 bits of +each red and blue and 6 bits of green. |
