I'm in Elec & Comm Engg. doing my final year project.
Using an intel Sa1110 based board with IT8180 as frame buffer driver.
The board uses linux kernel 2.4.5. StrongARM has built in controller supports all kinds of
displays. Has built in linux driver for 320 x 240 Active TFT color LCD.
We are though procuring Mono STN 320 x 240 display. Need to either
1. develop a driver for the display so that printf() etc functions drive the display
or
2. drive the display pixels directly one by one by writing to the frame buffer.
No idea about frame buffer or anything coz i'm essentially involved in electronics only and
this is the final module in the project.
Current status :
1. Cannot address the LCD related registers in SA1110 because don't know which device to
open into a descriptor to modify.
2. Don't know what to do about the frame buffer and how exactly this is handled.
3. Can find it8180.o module in the installation on the board. Don't know what exactly this
does.
Please help out. Have only 6 days to go to complete project. All other parts of project are
done.
If anybody has worked with similar platforms please help out.
