Touchscreen Device Drivers
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
NuttX supports a two-part touchscreen driver architecture.
|
|
|
|
#. An "upper half", generic driver that provides the common
|
|
touchscreen interface to application level code, and
|
|
#. A "lower half", platform-specific driver that implements the
|
|
low-level touchscreen controls to implement the touchscreen
|
|
functionality.
|
|
|
|
Files supporting the touchscreen controller (TSC) driver can be
|
|
found in the following locations:
|
|
|
|
- **Interface Definition**. The header files for NuttX
|
|
touchscreen drivers reside in the
|
|
``include/nuttx/include/input`` directory. The interface
|
|
between the touchscreen controller "upper half" and "lower
|
|
half" drivers are *not* common, but vary from
|
|
controller-to-controller. Because of this, each touchscreen
|
|
driver has its own unique header file that describes the "upper
|
|
half"/"lower half" interface in that directory. The application
|
|
level interface to each touchscreen driver, on the other hand,
|
|
*is* the same for each touchscreen driver and is described
|
|
``include/nuttx/include/input/touchscreen.h``. The touchscreen
|
|
driver uses a standard character driver framework but read
|
|
operations return specially formatted data.
|
|
- **"Upper Half" Driver**. The controller-specific, "upper half"
|
|
touchscreen drivers reside in the directory ``drivers/input``.
|
|
- **"Lower Half" Drivers**. Platform-specific touchscreen drivers
|
|
reside in either: (1) The
|
|
``arch/<architecture>/src/<hardware>`` directory
|
|
for the processor architectures that have build in touchscreen
|
|
controllers or (2) the
|
|
``boards/<arch>/<chip>/<board>/src/``
|
|
directory for boards that use an external touchscreen
|
|
controller chip.
