This option alone does not add any kernel code. If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled. if AUXDISPLAY # # Character LCD section # config CHARLCD tristate "Character LCD core support" if COMPILE_TEST help This is the base system for character-based LCD displays. It makes no sense to have this alone, you select your display driver and if it needs the charlcd core, it will select it automatically. This is some character LCD core interface that multiple drivers can use. config HD44780_COMMON tristate "Common functions for HD44780 (and compatibles) LCD displays" if COMPILE_TEST select CHARLCD help This is a module with the common symbols for HD44780 (and compatibles) displays. This is the code that multiple other modules use. It is not useful alone. If you have some sort of HD44780 compatible display, you very likely use this. It is selected automatically by selecting your concrete display. config HD44780 tristate "HD44780 Character LCD support" depends on GPIOLIB || COMPILE_TEST select HD44780_COMMON help Enable support for Character LCDs using a HD44780 controller. The LCD is accessible through the /dev/lcd char device (10, 156). This code can either be compiled as a module, or linked into the kernel and started at boot. If you don't understand what all this is about, say N. config LCD2S tristate "lcd2s 20x4 character display over I2C console" depends on I2C select CHARLCD help This is a driver that lets you use the lcd2s 20x4 character display from Modtronix engineering as a console output device. The display is a simple single color character display. You have to connect it to an I2C bus. menuconfig PARPORT_PANEL tristate "Parallel port LCD/Keypad Panel support" depends on PARPORT select HD44780_COMMON help Say Y here if you have an HD44780 or KS-0074 LCD connected to your parallel port. This driver also features 4 and 6-key keypads. The LCD is accessible through the /dev/lcd char device (10, 156), and the keypad through /dev/keypad (10, 185). This code can either be compiled as a module, or linked into the kernel and started at boot. If you don't understand what all this is about, say N. if PARPORT_PANEL config PANEL_PARPORT int "Default parallel port number (0=LPT1)" range 0 255 default "0" help This is the index of the parallel port the panel is connected to. One driver instance only supports one parallel port, so if your keypad and LCD are connected to two separate ports, you have to start two modules with different arguments. Numbering starts with '0' for LPT1, and so on. config PANEL_PROFILE int "Default panel profile (0-5, 0=custom)" range 0 5 default "5" help To ease configuration, the driver supports different configuration profiles for past and recent wirings. These profiles can also be used to define an approximative configuration, completed by a few other options. Here are the profiles : 0 = custom (see further) 1 = 2x16 parallel LCD, old keypad 2 = 2x16 serial LCD (KS-0074), new keypad 3 = 2x16 parallel LCD (Hantronix), no keypad 4 = 2x16 parallel LCD (Nexcom NSA1045) with Nexcom's keypad 5 = 2x40 parallel LCD (old one), with old keypad Custom configurations allow you to define how your display is wired to the parallel port, and how it works. This is only intended for experts. config PANEL_KEYPAD depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" int "Keypad type (0=none, 1=old 6 keys, 2=new 6 keys, 3=Nexcom 4 keys)" range 0 3 default 0 help This enables and configures a keypad connected to the parallel port. The keys will be read from character device 10,185. Valid values are : 0 : do not enable this driver 1 : old 6 keys keypad 2 : new 6 keys keypad, as used on the server at www.ant-computing.com 3 : Nexcom NSA1045's 4 keys keypad New profiles can be described in the driver source. The driver also supports simultaneous keys pressed when the keypad supports them. config PANEL_LCD depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" int "LCD type (0=none, 1=custom, 2=old //, 3=ks0074, 4=hantronix, 5=Nexcom)" range 0 5 default 0 help This enables and configures an LCD connected to the parallel port. The driver includes an interpreter for escape codes starting with '\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The driver will be registered as character device 10,156, usually under the name '/dev/lcd'. There are a total of 6 supported types : 0 : do not enable the driver 1 : custom configuration and wiring (see further) 2 : 2x16 & 2x40 parallel LCD (old wiring) 3 : 2x16 serial LCD (KS-0074 based) 4 : 2x16 parallel LCD (Hantronix wiring) 5 : 2x16 parallel LCD (Nexcom wiring) When type '1' is specified, other options will appear to configure more precise aspects (wiring, dimensions, protocol, ...). Please note that those values changed from the 2.4 driver for better consistency. config PANEL_LCD_HEIGHT depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Number of lines on the LCD (1-2)" range 1 2 default 2 help This is the number of visible character lines on the LCD in custom profile. It can either be 1 or 2. config PANEL_LCD_WIDTH depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Number of characters per line on the LCD (1-40)" range 1 40 default 40 help This is the number of characters per line on the LCD in custom profile. Common values are 16,20,24,40. config PANEL_LCD_BWIDTH depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Internal LCD line width (1-40, 40 by default)" range 1 40 default 40 help Most LCDs use a standard controller which supports hardware lines of 40 characters, although sometimes only 16, 20 or 24 of them are really wired to the terminal. This results in some non-visible but addressable characters, and is the case for most parallel LCDs. Other LCDs, and some serial ones, however, use the same line width internally as what is visible. The KS0074 for example, uses 16 characters per line for 16 visible characters per line. This option lets you configure the value used by your LCD in 'custom' profile. If you don't know, put '40' here. config PANEL_LCD_HWIDTH depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Hardware LCD line width (1-64, 64 by default)" range 1 64 default 64 help Most LCDs use a single address bit to differentiate line 0 and line 1. Since some of them need to be able to address 40 chars with the lower bits, they often use the immediately superior power of 2, which is 64, to address the next line. If you don't know what your LCD uses, in doubt let 16 here for a 2x16, and 64 here for a 2x40. config PANEL_LCD_CHARSET depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "LCD character set (0=normal, 1=KS0074)" range 0 1 default 0 help Some controllers such as the KS0074 use a somewhat strange character set where many symbols are at unusual places. The driver knows how to map 'standard' ASCII characters to the character sets used by these controllers. Valid values are : 0 : normal (untranslated) character set 1 : KS0074 character set If you don't know, use the normal one (0). config PANEL_LCD_PROTO depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "LCD communication mode (0=parallel 8 bits, 1=serial)" range 0 1 default 0 help This driver now supports any serial or parallel LCD wired to a parallel port. But before assigning signals, the driver needs to know if it will be driving a serial LCD or a parallel one. Serial LCDs only use 2 wires (SDA/SCL), while parallel ones use 2 or 3 wires for the control signals (E, RS, sometimes RW), and 4 or 8 for the data. Use 0 here for a 8 bits parallel LCD, and 1 for a serial LCD. config PANEL_LCD_PIN_E depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" && PANEL_LCD_PROTO="0" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD E signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 14 help This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the LCD 'E' signal has been connected. It can be : 0 : no connection (eg: connected to ground) 1..17 : directly connected to any of these pins on the DB25 plug -1..-17 : connected to the same pin through an inverter (eg: transistor). Default for the 'E' pin in custom profile is '14' (AUTOFEED). config PANEL_LCD_PIN_RS depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" && PANEL_LCD_PROTO="0" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD RS signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 17 help This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the LCD 'RS' signal has been connected. It can be : 0 : no connection (eg: connected to ground) 1..17 : directly connected to any of these pins on the DB25 plug -1..-17 : connected to the same pin through an inverter (eg: transistor). Default for the 'RS' pin in custom profile is '17' (SELECT IN). config PANEL_LCD_PIN_RW depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" && PANEL_LCD_PROTO="0" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD RW signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 16 help This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the LCD 'RW' signal has been connected. It can be : 0 : no connection (eg: connected to ground) 1..17 : directly connected to any of these pins on the DB25 plug -1..-17 : connected to the same pin through an inverter (eg: transistor). Default for the 'RW' pin in custom profile is '16' (INIT). config PANEL_LCD_PIN_SCL depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" && PANEL_LCD_PROTO!="0" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD SCL signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 1 help This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the serial LCD 'SCL' signal has been connected. It can be : 0 : no connection (eg: connected to ground) 1..17 : directly connected to any of these pins on the DB25 plug -1..-17 : connected to the same pin through an inverter (eg: transistor). Default for the 'SCL' pin in custom profile is '1' (STROBE). config PANEL_LCD_PIN_SDA depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" && PANEL_LCD_PROTO!="0" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD SDA signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 2 help This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the serial LCD 'SDA' signal has been connected. It can be : 0 : no connection (eg: connected to ground) 1..17 : directly connected to any of these pins on the DB25 plug -1..-17 : connected to the same pin through an inverter (eg: transistor). Default for the 'SDA' pin in custom profile is '2' (D0). config PANEL_LCD_PIN_BL depends on PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD backlight signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 0 help This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the LCD 'BL' signal has been connected. It can be : 0 : no connection (eg: connected to ground) 1..17 : directly connected to any of these pins on the DB25 plug -1..-17 : connected to the same pin through an inverter (eg: transistor). Default for the 'BL' pin in custom profile is '0' (uncontrolled). endif # PARPORT_PANEL config PANEL_CHANGE_MESSAGE bool "Change LCD initialization message ?" depends on CHARLCD || LINEDISP help This allows you to replace the boot message indicating the kernel version and the driver version with a custom message. This is useful on appliances where a simple 'Starting system' message can be enough to stop a customer from worrying. If you say 'Y' here, you'll be able to choose a message yourself. Otherwise, say 'N' and keep the default message with the version. config PANEL_BOOT_MESSAGE depends on PANEL_CHANGE_MESSAGE="y" string "New initialization message" default "" help This allows you to replace the boot message indicating the kernel version and the driver version with a custom message. This is useful on appliances where a simple 'Starting system' message can be enough to stop a customer from worrying. An empty message will only clear the display at driver init time. Any other printf()-formatted message is valid with newline and escape codes. choice prompt "Backlight initial state" default CHARLCD_BL_FLASH help Select the initial backlight state on boot or module load. Previously, there was no option for this: the backlight flashed briefly on init. Now you can also turn it off/on. config CHARLCD_BL_OFF bool "Off" help Backlight is initially turned off config CHARLCD_BL_ON bool "On" help Backlight is initially turned on config CHARLCD_BL_FLASH bool "Flash" help Backlight is flashed briefly on init endchoice # # Samsung KS0108 LCD controller section # config KS0108 tristate "KS0108 LCD Controller" depends on PARPORT_PC help If you have a LCD controlled by one or more KS0108 controllers, say Y. You will need also another more specific driver for your LCD. Depends on Parallel Port support. If you say Y at parport, you will be able to compile this as a module (M) and built-in as well (Y). To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ks0108. If unsure, say N. config KS0108_PORT hex "Parallel port where the LCD is connected" depends on KS0108 default 0x378 help The address of the parallel port where the LCD is connected. The first standard parallel port address is 0x378. The second standard parallel port address is 0x278. The third standard parallel port address is 0x3BC. You can specify a different address if you need. If you don't know what I'm talking about, load the parport module, and execute "dmesg" or "cat /proc/ioports". You can see there how many parallel ports are present and which address each one has. Usually you only need to use 0x378. If you compile this as a module, you can still override this using the module parameters. config KS0108_DELAY int "Delay between each control writing (microseconds)" depends on KS0108 default "2" help Amount of time the ks0108 should wait between each control write to the parallel port. If your LCD seems to miss random writings, increment this. If you don't know what I'm talking about, ignore it. If you compile this as a module, you can still override this value using the module parameters. config CFAG12864B tristate "CFAG12864B LCD" depends on X86 depends on FB depends on KS0108 select FB_SYSMEM_HELPERS help If you have a Crystalfontz 128x64 2-color LCD, cfag12864b Series, say Y. You also need the ks0108 LCD Controller driver. For help about how to wire your LCD to the parallel port, check Documentation/admin-guide/auxdisplay/cfag12864b.rst Depends on the x86 arch and the framebuffer support. The LCD framebuffer driver can be attached to a console. It will work fine. However, you can't attach it to the fbdev driver of the xorg server. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the modules will be called cfag12864b and cfag12864bfb. If unsure, say N. config CFAG12864B_RATE int "Refresh rate (hertz)" depends on CFAG12864B default "20" help Refresh rate of the LCD. As the LCD is not memory mapped, the driver has to make the work by software. This means you should be careful setting this value higher. If your CPUs are really slow or you feel the system is slowed down, decrease the value. Be careful modifying this value to a very high value: You can freeze the computer, or the LCD maybe can't draw as fast as you are requesting. If you don't know what I'm talking about, ignore it. If you compile this as a module, you can still override this value using the module parameters. # # Single character line display section # config LINEDISP tristate "Character line display core support" if COMPILE_TEST help This is the core support for single-line character displays, to be selected by drivers that use it. config IMG_ASCII_LCD tristate "Imagination Technologies ASCII LCD Display" depends on HAS_IOMEM default y if MIPS_MALTA select MFD_SYSCON select LINEDISP help Enable this to support the simple ASCII LCD displays found on development boards such as the MIPS Boston, MIPS Malta & MIPS SEAD3 from Imagination Technologies. config HT16K33 tristate "Holtek Ht16K33 LED controller with keyscan" depends on FB && I2C && INPUT && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE select FB_SYSMEM_HELPERS select INPUT_MATRIXKMAP select FB_BACKLIGHT select NEW_LEDS select LEDS_CLASS select LINEDISP help Say yes here to add support for Holtek HT16K33, RAM mapping 16*8 LED controller driver with keyscan. config MAX6959 tristate "Maxim MAX6958/6959 7-segment LED controller" depends on I2C select REGMAP_I2C select LINEDISP help If you say yes here you get support for the following Maxim chips (I2C 7-segment LED display controller): - MAX6958 - MAX6959 (input support) This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called max6959. config SEG_LED_GPIO tristate "Generic 7-segment LED display" depends on GPIOLIB || COMPILE_TEST select LINEDISP help This driver supports a generic 7-segment LED display made up of GPIO pins connected to the individual segments. This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called seg-led-gpio. # # Character LCD with non-conforming interface section # config ARM_CHARLCD bool "ARM Ltd. Character LCD Driver" depends on PLAT_VERSATILE help This is a driver for the character LCD found on the ARM Ltd. Versatile and RealView Platform Baseboards.
