Hi Geert,
thanks for your help.
For now the LCD is mapped on the parallel port PP0/PP16.
Yes, everytime i draw from userspace using "write" on /dev/fb i correctly see
the image.
Same if i "echo somegarbage > /dev/fb" i can see some pixel drawn correctly.
The three functions in fb_opts are there, mapped and implemented.
Still, nothing on the lcd on boot.
If i "echo something > /dev/console" i see part of the first line of pixels
cleared.
This is my boot line
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_STRING="root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=romfs init=/bin/init
video=amcorefb console=tty0"
