[U-Boot] [PATCH V2 4/4] video: add a driver for the bcm2835

Stephen Warren swarren at wwwdotorg.org
Fri Oct 19 06:51:34 CEST 2012


The firmware running on the bcm2835 SoC's VideoCore CPU manages the
display controller. Add a simple "LCD" drive that communicates with the
firmware using the property mailbox protocol. This configures the
display and frame-buffer to match whatever physical resolution the
firmware chosen when booting, which is typically the native resolution
of the attached display device, presumably unless otherwise specified
in config.txt on the boot media.

Enable this driver in the Raspberry Pi board configuration.
