[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Due to personal reasons I'm unable to continue as fbtft maintainer.

For a long time I have wanted to convert the fbtft drivers to drm.
There's now a foundation in place to do so in drivers/gpu/drm/tinydrm.

Because of a worsening fatigue illness, I'm unable to take this work
any further.

I have done some conversion work on the fb_ili9325 driver[1], but I'm
unable to take it all the way to completion.

The big question for many interested in fbtft, is whether or not
backwards Device Tree compatibility can be kept. The problem I see, is
that the 'init' property takes a coded register initialization sequence,
including delays. This seems to be a empathic NO at least for new drivers.
But the hope is that since it's been in staging, maybe it can be kept.

Noralf.
