Testing #240

Updated by Hammel about 11 years ago

The texy display has arrived.    He had forgotten to send it originally and, to make up for it, decided to send me a mounting case for free.    I've mounted an RPi in the case with the display (see photo) but my initial boot doesn't seem to see the device.    I only have fb0, which is the HDMI monitor. 

 The discussion on using the display can be found here:

 "fbtft_device":https://github.com/notro/fbtft kernel drivers instructions.    This appears to be built on the kernel source from which "PiBox pulls":git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git 
 * "https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/Build-kernel-and-fbtft-drivers":https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/Build-kernel-and-fbtft-drivers 
 * "fbtft_device driver info":https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/fbtft_device 


 The driver appears to support this device (whish is a hy28a).    So all that's needed, initially, is to get the driver into the kernel build. 

 "Building outside the kernel":https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt is available from kernel.org.
