Hi Luca,
I had problems with e-mail filter, so I rebuilt yours by hand.
Forgive me.
See below.
Thanks
Kind regards

Hello everybody,
I'm using ft5206 with edt-ft5x06.c driver,
but what I see is that registers with M09 or M06
seem different from focaltech ft5206
https://www.buydisplay.com/download/ic/FT5206.pdf
For example, except address 0x80 for threshold register(thgroup),
all the others don't appear:
GAIN 0x30 or 0x92 should be 0x82(thcal maybe?)
Can someone clarify this?
Are you having any problems, or just investigating?
I need to add some other IC register to calibrate sensibility with
different glasses, but starting from ft5x06 or other Focaltech standard
IC FW.
If I understood correctly you want to implement auto-calibration, and in
order to do that you need the four extra registers, not mentioned in the
Focaltech datasheet. Right?
Yes, I need them inside the driver.
And some of them could be useful also as attributes.
Maybe M06 or M09 are a custom firmware for focaltech ft5x,
then it has different registers?
All the FT5x06 are 8051-based chips designed to implement touchscreen
controllers. The FT5x26 are similar but with a more powerful core
(Cortex-M IIRC).
As far as I could understand and guess, their register interface is
fully implemented in firmware, so it could change completely from one
panel to another. However all panels that I have seen seem to use
firmwares with either the "M06" or the "M09" protocol, which are
implemented in the Linux driver.
In my case driver recognizes M09, but only address 0x80
register(thgroup) is correct.
The others:
GAIN: 0x92
GAIN: 0x93
GAIN: 0x94
GAIN: 0x95
are not described in that datasheet.
What about all the other registers? The datasheet lists a few dozen, not
only 0x80. Are they implemented in the panel you are working on?
Yes they are, but as Datasheet is signed, this makes me believe that
that is the default firmware focaltech load in factory.
So yes, they're implemented in 4 different panels I have.
The point is that datasheet seems to be official by Focaltech,
like if they deliver that IC with a standard FW inside.
I can't find a way to safely probe if it's a standard FW or from EDT M09
or M06.
Since everything is based on the programmed firmware, and there's no
"standard" way to detect firmware version, every firmware detection is
bound to be a hack. But there's no better way I'm afraid. Thus device
tree seems the only reliable way...
I think the same.
However, did you check registers FIRMID, FT5201ID (CTPM Vendor ID) and
ID_G_LIB_VERSION_H/L? According to their name they might hold
interesting info.
Still not, I will.
And did you consider read the "additional registers" tentatively during
probe to detect whether they are present? What effect would this have on
chips without those registers?
This doesn't sound so good to me.
It gives me an'idea of unstability.
So how can I go on?
Do I try to write a specific focaltech-ft5x.c driver?
Bye,
