Linux Console Driver
Issue Date: 01/11/19
The Linux console driver for the S1D13504 Embedded Memory LCD Controller is
intended as "reference" source code for OEMs developing for Linux, and supports 4 and 8
bit-per-pixel color depths.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) such as Gnome can obtain the frame buffer address from
this driver allowing the Linux GUI the ability to update the display.
The console driver is designed around a common configuration include file called
s1d13504.h, which is generated by the configuration utility 13504DCFG. This design
allows for easy customization of display type, clocks, decode addresses, rotation, etc. by
OEMs. For further information on 13504DCFG, see the 13504DCFG Driver Configuration
Program User Manual, document number X19A-B-008-xx.
Note
The Linux console driver is provided as "reference" source code only. The driver is in-
tended to provide a basis for OEMs to develop their own drivers for Linux.
This document and the source code for the Linux console drivers are updated as appro-
priate. Please check the Epson Research and Development website at
http://www.erd.epson.com for the latest revisions or before beginning any development.
