You aren't going to connect an LCD to the MBX860 and see anything. There isn't any LCD controller on the 860. You need an 823 or some external graphics controller. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Hi all. I wanted to connect a LCD to a MPC823-based board and to use microwindows too . Dan Malek answered:

Correct. But what happens when the externel controller is provided? Is there a LinuxPPC driver for it? Does the LCD device become such as a character device (or something like that) that needs a suitable node in /dev with its own driver to be registered? I tryed to configure Wolfgang's 2.4.4-2001-11-24 kernel for TQM860L and while (obviously) there is no LCD driver for 860, the framebuffer is still there... Does it mean that anyway it is possible to use a LCD with MPC860? Thank you for any answer! Bye Piero ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
