Customizing the example for your specific LCD
To set the LCD parameters from a specific LCD data sheet:
In the patch, look at the definition of MY-LCD in drivers/video/fbdev/mxc/mxc_lcdif.c - and change its parameters.
Its type is the following struct (defined in include/linux/fb.h):
struct fb_videomode {
const char *name; /* optional */
u32 refresh; /* optional */
u32 xres;
u32 yres;
u32 pixclock;
u32 left_margin;
u32 right_margin;
u32 upper_margin;
u32 lower_margin;
u32 hsync_len;
u32 vsync_len;
u32 sync;
u32 vmode;
u32 flag;
};
Note that pixclock's units are picoseconds and not MHz.
vmode accepts bitwise or combinations of FB_VMODE_* definitions
sync accepts bitwise or combinations of FB_SYNC_* definitions.
FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED - Non interlaced video
FB_SYNC_CLK_LAT_FALL - Negative polarity of pixel clock
FB_SYNC_OE_LOW_ACT - Invert polarity of data enable
FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT - Invert polarity of HSYNCH
FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT - Invert polarity of VSYNCH
U-Boot environment changes
To use this sample LCD configuration, a change is needed also in the videoargs variable in the U-Boot environment:
Change the current definition of video=mxcfb0 to video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,MY-LCD,if=RGB24.
