For some reason, this request has come up a lot lately. we make an 860 board and a video board with an Epson video controller on it.
The 860 does not have video out, but you can certainly attach a video chip to it. We used the Epson SED1386 which is now called the S1D13806. You can find the Linux driver at: http://www.erd.epson.com/vdc/html/contents/S1D13806.htm#drivers Ken -----Original Message----- From: RSR - Dominioni Piero [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 2:40 AM To: Dan Malek Cc: linuxppc-embedded at lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Re: Litle LCD on MBX860 Hi all. I wanted to connect a LCD to a MPC823-based board and to use microwindows too . Dan Malek answered: > You aren't going to connect an LCD to the MBX860 and see anything. > There isn't any LCD controller on the 860. You need an 823 or > some external graphics controller. Correct. But what happens when the externel controller is provided? Is there a LinuxPPC driver for it? Does the LCD device become such as a character device (or something like that) that needs a suitable node in /dev with its own driver to be registered? I tryed to configure Wolfgang's 2.4.4-2001-11-24 kernel for TQM860L and while (obviously) there is no LCD driver for 860, the framebuffer is still there... Does it mean that anyway it is possible to use a LCD with MPC860? Thank you for any answer! Bye Piero ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
