Hi again,
I thought I'd add some hints on applying the
lcdproc-0.5.0_hd44780_ts7200.patch file to lcdproc-0.5.0 and cross
compiling to a ts7260, then notes on use of LCDd.conf.
Download lcdproc-0.5.0.tar.gz via the link on
http://lcdproc.org/download.php3 . Note that the downloaded file is
not actually gzipped, but has a .gz extension.
Download lcdproc-0.5.0_hd44780_ts7200.patch from the files section of
this group.
Unpack the source,
$ tar -xvf lcdproc-0.5.0.tar.gz (yes - no z as it's not gzipped)
move to the lcdproc source directory,
$ cd lcdproc-0.5.0
apply the patch
$ patch -p1 < ../lcdproc-0.5.0_hd44780_ts8200.patch
run configure, as a cross compile, and enable the hd44780 driver (plus
any other drivers you may want), then make it
$ ./configure --enable-drivers=hd44780 --host=arm-linux-gnu
$ make
once done - you'll have to figure out how to install the executables
(using the --prefix directive on configure) as our installation
methods are all different.
Next, for LCDd to run, it needs a LCDd.conf file. The specifics for
the hd44780 on the ts7200 are :
[server]
Driver=hd44780
DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/ (NOTE: this is where the driver
modules go!!! from the installation process. usually just hd44780.so)
[hd44780]
# Select what type of connection. See documentation for types.
ConnectionType=ts7200
Backlight=no
***end***
All the other options in the LCDd.conf file are specific for your
setup (eg keypad/etc), so consult the LCDd documentation
Now, if LCDd is installed ok, then you should be able to run it and
see something on your display.
Cheers
Kym
