Hi Tomi, Thanks. Currently I am trying to understand and create a driver for TDF19988 for omapdss using the 3.8.13 (Latest OMAP5 GLDSK Kernel).
Yes, I agree omapdss has changed a lot from 3.4 to 3.8 to 3.12 to 3.15 linux kernels and following refrences which I was thinking to use for this not helping much to create a one quickly. Though it should be possible to write a new driver for 3.8 kernel or Do you know anything which will limit creating a new driver for 3.8? What do you think I should take care while creating a new driver for 3.8 or some point to keep in mind? Other than this, are there any other references I can look at? https://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wilink8-wlan-ti-linux-kernel/trees/9223b3ce953c2af6af38ce57108f03f6c63ff91e/drivers/video/omap2/displays-new(based on 3.12 linux) https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/i2c/tda998x_drv.c(based on 3.15.-rc5 linux) Regards, Vikash On Fri, May 16, 2014 at 2:23 PM, Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen at ti.com>wrote: > On 13/05/14 09:26, Vikas Patil wrote: > > Hi Tomi, > > > >>That driver cannot be used with omapdrm, which uses omapdss.
