Hi,
i has the LCD from tilofranz.net/lcdshop
The Display has an ftdi232bm chip to communicate with USB and an S1D13305F for Display.
USB VendorID=0x403 and ProductID=0xe588
I added to ftdio_sio.h and ftdi_sio.c the product ID and recompile the ftdi_sio kernel modul.
Then i add :
BUS="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}="e588", NAME="lcd", SYMLINK="usb/lcd", MODE="0666"
to my udev rules.
Now when i connect the Display dmesg say:
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device
ftdi_sio 2-2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232BM
usb 2-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new driver ftdi_sio
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver
and i has an dev in /dev/usb/lcd
But how can i send some informations to Display?
First i thought that serdisplib can help, but at this time there is no rs232 support.
Then i asked the manufactur if there is any linux library for this display, but the answer was "Not now, maybe later".
Has anyone expirience with this Display in Linux?
My System:
AMD64 3200+, Kernel 2.6.13.1, LFS pure64.
Hope you can read my english
