NEC 4.3" on Mini2440

sportlover
Hello,

I'm trying to get a N43 screen working on my mini2440.
I have no idea how I can add support for this screen to my kernel /
filesystem.
There are several images on the net which contains the N43 display (see
Andahammer) but I want to create my own kernel and filesysteem. 

Can you guys give me some hints?

Thanks,
Danny

Danny,

Sorry, I was just reading the patch name
<0001-s3c2440-mini2440-Add-support-for-new-LCD-panels.patch> and thought it
might be among them.

Looking at the patch, as an example, might provide a path forward.

Good luck!

Dave

Well, the strange thing is that Andahammer sells the kit. (mini2440 + N43)
The image preloaded on the mini2440.
So its possible. Now I would like to know how! ;)

I will start with the patch..

I do have the kit Andahammer sells, so can I find the files / settings on
that device?

Unless they supply the kernel source or the configuration for the kernel
(and which kernel is it) and the patches for it I believe you are out of
luck.

They should supply that information.  Did a DVD come with the kit? Ask them
(Charles Springer posts quite often on the other forum) for it.

The rootfs image you should be able to mount it on loopback and look
through the file system. I don't think you'll find anything specific to
your touchscreen there.

There only seem to be a few variables to specify, according to that patch. 
Can you get the datasheet for the touchscreen and see if that information
is in it?
