Testing #240
Updated by Hammel over 10 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: "http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=53144":http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=53144 "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.
