| 1 | SH7760/SH7763 integrated LCDC Framebuffer driver | ||
| 2 | ================================================ | ||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | 0. Overwiew | ||
| 5 | ----------- | ||
| 6 | The SH7760/SH7763 have an integrated LCD Display controller (LCDC) which | ||
| 7 | supports (in theory) resolutions ranging from 1x1 to 1024x1024, | ||
| 8 | with color depths ranging from 1 to 16 bits, on STN, DSTN and TFT Panels. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | Caveats: | ||
| 11 | * Framebuffer memory must be a large chunk allocated at the top | ||
| 12 | of Area3 (HW requirement). Because of this requirement you should NOT | ||
| 13 | make the driver a module since at runtime it may become impossible to | ||
| 14 | get a large enough contiguous chunk of memory. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | * The driver does not support changing resolution while loaded | ||
| 17 | (displays aren't hotpluggable anyway) | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | * Heavy flickering may be observed | ||
| 20 | a) if you're using 15/16bit color modes at >= 640x480 px resolutions, | ||
| 21 | b) during PCMCIA (or any other slow bus) activity. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | * Rotation works only 90degress clockwise, and only if horizontal | ||
| 24 | resolution is <= 320 pixels. | ||

| 30 | 1. Platform setup | ||
| 31 | ----------------- | ||
| 32 | SH7760: | ||
| 33 | Video data is fetched via the DMABRG DMA engine, so you have to | ||
| 34 | configure the SH DMAC for DMABRG mode (write 0x94808080 to the | ||
| 35 | DMARSRA register somewhere at boot). | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | PFC registers PCCR and PCDR must be set to peripheral mode. | ||
| 38 | (write zeros to both). | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | The driver does NOT do the above for you since board setup is, well, job | ||
| 41 | of the board setup code. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 2. Panel definitions | ||
| 44 | -------------------- | ||
| 45 | The LCDC must explicitly be told about the type of LCD panel | ||
| 46 | attached. Data must be wrapped in a "struct sh7760fb_platdata" and | ||
| 47 | passed to the driver as platform_data. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | Suggest you take a closer look at the SH7760 Manual, Section 30. | ||
| 50 | (http://documentation.renesas.com/eng/products/mpumcu/e602291_sh7760.pdf) | ||
| 51 | |||

| 53 | get the framebuffer working on a 640x480 TFT: | ||
