The LCD panel module (LCM) is designed to provide real-time operating status and
configuration information for the system.
The system supports the following 2 kinds of LCM:
•
Parallel Text-based LCM: The LCM connects to the motherboard’s parallel port. The LCD
screen can display 2 lines, 16 (or 20) characters per line.
•
USB and Serial Text or Graphic-based LCM: Our next generation LCM. Lanner engineers
design a common source code to be deployed on these two differently interfaced LCM
modules. Jumpers are used to select between text and graphic types. See next section.
For Parallel Text-based LCM
Build
To build program source code on Linux platform, please use the following steps as a guideline:
1.
Extract the source file:
# tar -xzvf plcm_drv_v0XX.tgz
(0XX is the version of the
program.)
2.
Change directory to the extracted folder:
# cd plcm_drv_v0XX
(0XX is the version of the program.)
Note: Apply our Parallel Text-based LCM to the environment of virtualization, please use
the version 013 or above of the program.
3.
Type “make” to build source code:
# make
After compiling, the executable programs (plcm_test, plcm_cursor_char, ppdev_test, Test)
and the driver (plcm_drv.ko) will appear in the program’s folder.
