ICN6211, more working!
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
we took october off from working on this project, but we're back baby! a PR was submitted to allow DTO-level configuration of display timings , rather than having a specialized driver for each display config (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/5640) which, if merged in by the raspi folks, will mean we don't need to do specialized kernel compilation or module work. at the same time im working on setting up the onboard attiny chip which will be used to configure the ICN6211 over I2C, the TFT over SPI, and manage the backlight. in order to make it possible to 'hot swap' displays without bustin' out a UPDI adapter, we'll store the configuration code in an EEPROM that is exposed over the Pi's DSI I2C port. or at least, that's the idea! we'll see if it works soon :) Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
