Add a driver for simple ASCII LCD displays found on the MIPS Boston,
Malta & SEAD3 development boards. The Boston display is an independent
memory mapped device with a simple memory mapped 8 byte register space
containing the 8 ASCII characters to display. The Malta display is
exposed as part of the Malta board registers, and provides 8 registers
each of which corresponds to one of the ASCII characters to display. The
SEAD3 display is slightly more complex, exposing an interface to an
S6A0069 LCD controller via registers provided by the boards CPLD.
However although the displays differ in their register interface, we
require similar functionality on each board so abstracting away the
differences within a single driver allows us to share a significant
amount of code & ensure consistent behaviour.
The driver displays the Linux kernel version as the default message, but
allows the message to be changed via a character device. Messages longer
then the number of characters that the display can show will scroll.
This provides different behaviour to the existing LCD display code for
the MIPS Malta or MIPS SEAD3 platforms in the following ways:
- The default string to display is not "LINUX ON MALTA" or "LINUX ON
SEAD3" but "Linux" followed by the version number of the kernel
(UTS_RELEASE).
- Since that string tends to be significantly longer it scrolls twice
as fast, moving every 500ms rather than every 1s.
- The LCD won't be updated until the driver is probed, so it doesn't
provide the early "LINUX" string.

Say Y here to get to see options for auxiliary display drivers.

This option alone does not add any kernel code.

If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.

|
|
If you have a LCD controlled by one or more KS0108
|
|
controllers, say Y. You will need also another more specific
|
|
driver for your LCD.
|
|
|
|
Depends on Parallel Port support. If you say Y at
|
|
parport, you will be able to compile this as a module (M)
|
|
and built-in as well (Y).
|
|
|
|
To compile this as a module, choose M here:
|
|
the module will be called ks0108.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

---help---
|
|
The address of the parallel port where the LCD is connected.
|
|
|
|
The first standard parallel port address is 0x378.
|
|
The second standard parallel port address is 0x278.
|
|
The third standard parallel port address is 0x3BC.
|
|
|
|
You can specify a different address if you need.
|
|
|
|
If you don't know what I'm talking about, load the parport module,
|
|
and execute "dmesg" or "cat /proc/ioports". You can see there how
|
|
many parallel ports are present and which address each one has.
|
|
|
|
Usually you only need to use 0x378.
|
|
|
|
If you compile this as a module, you can still override this
|
|
using the module parameters.

Amount of time the ks0108 should wait between each control write
|
|
to the parallel port.
|
|
|
|
If your LCD seems to miss random writings, increment this.
|
|
|
|
If you don't know what I'm talking about, ignore it.

If you have a Crystalfontz 128x64 2-color LCD, cfag12864b Series,
|
|
say Y. You also need the ks0108 LCD Controller driver.
|
|
|
|
For help about how to wire your LCD to the parallel port,
|
|
check Documentation/auxdisplay/cfag12864b
|
|
|
|
Depends on the x86 arch and the framebuffer support.
|
|
|
|
The LCD framebuffer driver can be attached to a console.
|
|
It will work fine. However, you can't attach it to the fbdev driver
|
|
of the xorg server.
|
|
|
|
To compile this as a module, choose M here:
|
|
the modules will be called cfag12864b and cfag12864bfb.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

default "20"
|
|
---help---
|
|
Refresh rate of the LCD.
|
|
|
|
As the LCD is not memory mapped, the driver has to make the work by
|
|
software. This means you should be careful setting this value higher.
|
|
If your CPUs are really slow or you feel the system is slowed down,
|
|
decrease the value.
|
|
|
|
Be careful modifying this value to a very high value:
|
|
You can freeze the computer, or the LCD maybe can't draw as fast as you
|
|
are requesting.
|
|
|
|
If you don't know what I'm talking about, ignore it.
|
|
|
|
If you compile this as a module, you can still override this
|
|
value using the module parameters.
