Linux Console Driver
The Linux console driver for the S1D13506 Color LCD/CRT Controller is intended as
“reference” source code for OEMs developing for Linux. The console driver is a
non-accelerated driver supporting 4, 8, and 16 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 an include file called s1d13506.h which is generated
by the configuration utility 13506CFG. Using 13506CFG the programmer can easily
customize the operation of display type, clocks, addresses, rotation, etc.
This document and the source code for the Linux console drivers are updated as appro-
priate. Please check the Epson Electronics America website at http://www.eea.epson.com
or the Epson Research and Development website at http://www.erd.epson.com for the latest
revisions or before beginning any development.
