BB-VIEW-LCD7

[jadonk]

Latest kernel didn't seem to have the overlay in it for me. I thought we had support, but I'm guessing not. Let me know if I missed it somewhere.

I'm trying out a hack: a4b6aff

I confirmed this mostly worked using the build at:
http://builds.beagleboard.org/linux/3.8.13-bone69-bb-view-7/a4b6affd637157158bf610230f727d27a86a2385/

I edited uEnv.txt to include the line:
optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN capemgr.enable_partno=BB-VIEW-LCD7-01

However, the color is off:

Also, like most resistive touch displays, it isn't the most accurate around the edges.

There's two patches disabled that will fix that:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/blob/am33x-v3.8/patches/capes/0037-capes-element14_bb_view_lcd_capes.patch

&

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/blob/am33x-v3.8/patches/fixes/0009-sitara_red_blue_swap_workaround.patch

It'll swap the red/blue channels, however it breaks the lcd4/7/etc..

Can't we put that setting under the control of the device-tree configurable parameter?

[RobertCNelson]

The patch tries to do that, "bgrx_16bpp" it just doesn't actually work...

@RobertCNelson Any idea why the MstaXXXX 148f:7601 Ralink driver doesn't seem to be there?

[RobertCNelson]

Out of tree drivers..

https://github.com/rcn-ee/mt7601u

You might be able to get away with:

sudo apt-get install mt7601u-modules-3.8.13-bone69

Then copy:
/lib/modules/3.8.13-bone69/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mt7601Usta.ko

to your custom build module directory, followed by:

sudo depmod -a `uname -r`
sudo update-initramfs -uk `uname -r`

I did that except forgot to do the update-initramfs. Thanks! It does work. Do we need this one to stay out-of-tree? Do we need to add building it to the autobuilder?
