PiBox » Iron Man

1. They're relatively expensive (I already have dedicated HDMI monitors)
2. They may require software changes to the UI code to fit on the small space.

For these reason, I'm not targeting a touch screen for the PoC. However, they will be required for the MVP.

Moving target version to MVP and dropping priority for now.

The official display uses an ft5406 driver for the touchscreen, which is supported in the 4.2.y kernel. I'm using 3.14.y for PiBox. So I'll have to try and rev up. I did this once before when trying to bring buildroot up to date and it failed though I don't remember why (see RM #493). So this may take some work.

I may try to backport the driver if I can't get the 4.2.y kernel to work. I'd rather rev up to 4.2.y if it will support the devices I need supported (primarily the wifi dongles).

Note that the touchscreen also only works with A+, B+ and 2B models, though the Model B might work with a workaround. I have 2B models but those require a new toolchain (See RM #460). My test of the Display is using a build for the 2B that I no longer have, so will have to recreate based on RM #460.

Resolved with RM #471.
