6.2 Hardware Operation

The detailed hardware operation of the SPDC is discussed in the i.MX 6SoloLite
Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual (i.MX 6SL RM)

.

6.3 Software Operation

The SPDC frame buffer driver is a self-contained driver module in the Linux kernel. It
consists of a standard frame buffer device API coupled with a custom EPD-specific API
extension which is accessible through the IOCTL interface. The combined functionality
provides the user with a robust and familiar display interface while offering full control
over the contents and update mode of the Sipix display.

This section covers the software operation of the SPDC driver, both through the standard
frame buffer device architecture, and through the custom Sipix API extensions.
Additionally, panel intialization and framebuffer formats are discussed.

6.3.1 SPDC Frame Buffer Driver Overview

The frame buffer device provides an abstraction for the graphics hardware. It represents
the frame buffer video hardware and allows application software to access the graphics
hardware through a well-defined interface, so that the software is not required to know
anything about the low-level hardware registers. The SPDC driver supports this model
with one key caveat: the contents of the frame buffer are not automatically updated to the
Sipix display. Instead, a custom API function call is required to trigger an update to the
Sipix display. The details of this process are explained in 

SPDC Frame Buffer Driver

Extensions

.

The frame buffer driver is enabled by selecting the frame buffer option under the graphics
parameters in the kernel configuration. To supplement the frame buffer driver, the kernel
builder may also include support for fonts and a startup logo. The frame buffer device
depends on the virtual terminal (VT) console to switch from serial to graphics mode. The
device is accessed through special device nodes, located in the /dev directory, as /dev/fb*.
fb0 is generally the primary frame buffer.

A frame buffer device is a memory device, such as /dev/mem, and it has features similar
to a memory device. Users can read it, write to it, seek to some location in it, and mmap()
it (the main use). The difference is that the memory that appears in the special file is not
the whole memory, but the frame buffer of some video hardware.
