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. | ||

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. | ||

72 | (iii) Internal Kernel Implementation | 72 | (iii) Kernel Interface |
73 | 73 | ||
74 | Each inotify instance is associated with an inotify_device structure. | 74 | Inotify's kernel API consists a set of functions for managing watches and an |
75 | event callback. | ||
76 | |||
77 | To use the kernel API, you must first initialize an inotify instance with a set | ||
78 | of inotify_operations. You are given an opaque inotify_handle, which you use | ||
79 | for any further calls to inotify. | ||
80 | |||
81 | struct inotify_handle *ih = inotify_init(my_event_handler); | ||
82 | |||
83 | You must provide a function for processing events and a function for destroying | ||
84 | the inotify watch. | ||
85 | |||
86 | void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask, | ||
87 | u32 cookie, const char *name, struct inode *inode) | ||
88 | |||
89 | watch - the pointer to the inotify_watch that triggered this call | ||
90 | wd - the watch descriptor | ||
91 | mask - describes the event that occurred | ||
92 | cookie - an identifier for synchronizing events | ||
93 | name - the dentry name for affected files in a directory-based event | ||
94 | inode - the affected inode in a directory-based event | ||
95 | |||
96 | void destroy_watch(struct inotify_watch *watch) | ||
97 | |||
98 | You may add watches by providing a pre-allocated and initialized inotify_watch | ||
99 | structure and specifying the inode to watch along with an inotify event mask. | ||
100 | You must pin the inode during the call. You will likely wish to embed the | ||
101 | inotify_watch structure in a structure of your own which contains other | ||
102 | information about the watch. Once you add an inotify watch, it is immediately | ||
103 | subject to removal depending on filesystem events. You must grab a reference if | ||
104 | you depend on the watch hanging around after the call. | ||
105 | |||
106 | inotify_init_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); | ||
107 | inotify_get_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional | ||
108 | s32 wd = inotify_add_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch, inode, mask); | ||
109 | inotify_put_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional | ||
110 | |||
111 | You may use the watch descriptor (wd) or the address of the inotify_watch for | ||
112 | other inotify operations. You must not directly read or manipulate data in the | ||
113 | inotify_watch. Additionally, you must not call inotify_add_watch() more than | ||
114 | once for a given inotify_watch structure, unless you have first called either | ||
115 | inotify_rm_watch() or inotify_rm_wd(). | ||
116 | |||
117 | To determine if you have already registered a watch for a given inode, you may | ||
118 | call inotify_find_watch(), which gives you both the wd and the watch pointer for | ||
119 | the inotify_watch, or an error if the watch does not exist. | ||
120 | |||
121 | wd = inotify_find_watch(ih, inode, &watchp); | ||
122 | |||
123 | You may use container_of() on the watch pointer to access your own data | ||
124 | associated with a given watch. When an existing watch is found, | ||
125 | inotify_find_watch() bumps the refcount before releasing its locks. You must | ||
126 | put that reference with: | ||
127 | |||
128 | put_inotify_watch(watchp); | ||
129 | |||
130 | Call inotify_find_update_watch() to update the event mask for an existing watch. | ||
131 | inotify_find_update_watch() returns the wd of the updated watch, or an error if | ||
132 | the watch does not exist. | ||
133 | |||
134 | wd = inotify_find_update_watch(ih, inode, mask); | ||
135 | |||
136 | An existing watch may be removed by calling either inotify_rm_watch() or | ||
137 | inotify_rm_wd(). | ||
138 | |||
139 | int ret = inotify_rm_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch); | ||
140 | int ret = inotify_rm_wd(ih, wd); | ||
141 | |||
142 | A watch may be removed while executing your event handler with the following: | ||
143 | |||
144 | inotify_remove_watch_locked(ih, iwatch); | ||
145 | |||
146 | Call inotify_destroy() to remove all watches from your inotify instance and | ||
147 | release it. If there are no outstanding references, inotify_destroy() will call | ||
148 | your destroy_watch op for each watch. | ||
149 | |||
150 | inotify_destroy(ih); | ||
151 | |||
152 | When inotify removes a watch, it sends an IN_IGNORED event to your callback. | ||
153 | You may use this event as an indication to free the watch memory. Note that | ||
154 | inotify may remove a watch due to filesystem events, as well as by your request. | ||
155 | If you use IN_ONESHOT, inotify will remove the watch after the first event, at | ||
156 | which point you may call the final inotify_put_watch. | ||
