How to control the DSS outputs (LCD, TV-Out, DVI) and touch screen
LCD and touch screen
LCD
can be selected by adding "omapdss.def_disp=lcd" to the boot args. This is done by "setenv defaultdisplay lcd" in our boot.scr.
To disable/enable (power down/up) the LCD (state=0: off, state=1: on)
echo "$state" >/sys/devices/omapdss/display2/enabled
For more information about switching the DSS2 system, please refer to http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DSS2_SYSFS_Examples
Touch Screen
is mapped to
/dev/input/touchscreen
pen down status can be read asynchronously through
cat /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio160/value
Video out (can't be used in parallel to headset microphone input)
can be selected by adding "omapdss.def_disp=venc" to the boot args
To disable/enable (power down/up) the LCD (state=0: off, state=1: on) in the DSS system:
echo "$state" >/sys/devices/omapdss/display1/enabled
The video out amplifier is automatically controlled by enabling display1, but it can be controlled independently through (state=0: off, state=1: on)
echo $state >/sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio23/value
NOTES: * while gpio23 is "1", you can't use the headset microphone * there is no automatic detection of a video display connection * the 75 Ohm output is short circuit protected
DVI (on Beagleboard only!)
can be selected by adding "omapdss.def_disp=dvi" to the boot args
power (state=0: off, state=1: on)
echo $state >/sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio170/value
This is only available if the kernel is configured for the BeagleBoard.
