1 | README on the ADC/Touchscreen Controller | ||
2 | ======================================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | The LH79524 and LH7A404 include a built-in Analog to Digital | ||
5 | controller (ADC) that is used to process input from a touchscreen. | ||
6 | The driver only implements a four-wire touch panel protocol. | ||
7 | |||
8 | The touchscreen driver is maintenance free except for the pen-down or | ||
9 | touch threshold. Some resistive displays and board combinations may | ||
10 | require tuning of this threshold. The driver exposes some of it's | ||
11 | internal state in the sys filesystem. If the kernel is configured | ||
12 | with it, CONFIG_SYSFS, and sysfs is mounted at /sys, there will be a | ||
13 | directory | ||
14 | |||
15 | /sys/devices/platform/adc-lh7.0 | ||
16 | |||
17 | containing these files. | ||
18 | |||
19 | -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 samples | ||
20 | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold | ||
21 | -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold_range | ||
22 | |||
23 | The threshold is the current touch threshold. It defaults to 750 on | ||
24 | most targets. | ||
25 | |||
26 | # cat threshold | ||
27 | 750 | ||
28 | |||
29 | The threshold_range contains the range of valid values for the | ||
30 | threshold. Values outside of this range will be silently ignored. | ||
31 | |||
32 | # cat threshold_range | ||
33 | 0 1023 | ||
34 | |||
35 | To change the threshold, write a value to the threshold file. | ||
36 | |||
37 | # echo 500 > threshold | ||
38 | # cat threshold | ||
39 | 500 | ||
40 | |||
41 | The samples file contains the most recently sampled values from the | ||
42 | ADC. There are 12. Below are typical of the last sampled values when | ||
43 | the pen has been released. The first two and last two samples are for | ||
44 | detecting whether or not the pen is down. The third through sixth are | ||
45 | X coordinate samples. The seventh through tenth are Y coordinate | ||
46 | samples. | ||
47 | |||
48 | # cat samples | ||
49 | 1023 1023 0 0 0 0 530 529 530 529 1023 1023 | ||
50 | |||
51 | To determine a reasonable threshold, press on the touch panel with an | ||
52 | appropriate stylus and read the values from samples. | ||
53 | |||
54 | # cat samples | ||
55 | 1023 676 92 103 101 102 855 919 922 922 1023 679 | ||
56 | |||
57 | The first and eleventh samples are discarded. Thus, the important | ||
58 | values are the second and twelfth which are used to determine if the | ||
59 | pen is down. When both are below the threshold, the driver registers | ||
60 | that the pen is down. When either is above the threshold, it | ||
61 | registers then pen is up. | ||

1 | README on the LCD Panels | ||
2 | ======================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Configuration options for several LCD panels, available from Logic PD, | ||
5 | are included in the kernel source. This README will help you | ||
6 | understand the configuration data and give you some guidance for | ||
7 | adding support for other panels if you wish. | ||
8 | |||
9 | |||
10 | lcd-panels.h | ||
11 | ------------ | ||
12 | |||
13 | There is no way, at present, to detect which panel is attached to the | ||
14 | system at runtime. Thus the kernel configuration is static. The file | ||
15 | arch/arm/mach-ld7a40x/lcd-panels.h (or similar) defines all of the | ||
16 | panel specific parameters. | ||
17 | |||
18 | It should be possible for this data to be shared among several device | ||
19 | families. The current layout may be insufficiently general, but it is | ||
20 | amenable to improvement. | ||
21 | |||
22 | |||
23 | PIXEL_CLOCK | ||
24 | ----------- | ||
25 | |||
26 | The panel data sheets will give a range of acceptable pixel clocks. | ||
27 | The fundamental LCDCLK input frequency is divided down by a PCD | ||
28 | constant in field '.tim2'. It may happen that it is impossible to set | ||
29 | the pixel clock within this range. A clock which is too slow will | ||
30 | tend to flicker. For the highest quality image, set the clock as high | ||
31 | as possible. | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | MARGINS | ||
35 | ------- | ||
36 | |||
37 | These values may be difficult to glean from the panel data sheet. In | ||
38 | the case of the Sharp panels, the upper margin is explicitly called | ||
39 | out as a specific number of lines from the top of the frame. The | ||
40 | other values may not matter as much as the panels tend to | ||
41 | automatically center the image. | ||
42 | |||
43 | |||
44 | Sync Sense | ||
45 | ---------- | ||
46 | |||
47 | The sense of the hsync and vsync pulses may be called out in the data | ||
48 | sheet. On one panel, the sense of these pulses determine the height | ||
49 | of the visible region on the panel. Most of the Sharp panels use | ||
50 | negative sense sync pulses set by the TIM2_IHS and TIM2_IVS bits in | ||
51 | '.tim2'. | ||
52 | |||
53 | |||
54 | Pel Layout | ||
55 | ---------- | ||
56 | |||
57 | The Sharp color TFT panels are all configured for 16 bit direct color | ||
58 | modes. The amba-lcd driver sets the pel mode to 565 for 5 bits of | ||
59 | each red and blue and 6 bits of green. | ||
