ssd1306 device driver example #37

DevyatovAndrey · 2017-11-20T15:07:02Z

This adds step by step example of writing kernel device driver for OLED LCD display based on ssd1306 controller.

AleksandrBulyshchenko

@DevyatovAndrey,
Thank you for sharing the driver.

But could you rebase the branch onto this repo tree?
Because currently it's impossible to diff separate commits via github.

And also if possible -please fix checkpatch issues (at least for the ssd1306, but it make sense for userapp_analog_clock as well):

${BBB_KERNEL}/scripts/checkpatch.pl --file ${TRAINING_REPO}/ssd1306/*.[ch] --terse

+obj-m := ssd1306.o

+KDIR ?= ${HOME}/BBB/bb_kernel/
+#KDIR ?= ~/BBB/KERNEL/


Please avoid hardcodding any local path.
And unify expected env. vars with existent mpu6050 driver (see its makefile)

Could you use the same baseline version of am335x-bone-common.dtsi as mpu6050 uses? (see ee49cc6)

This makefile has very odd view.
Does it work at all?

I believe you meant something like the following

CROSS_COMPILE ?= arm-linux-gnueabihf- CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc CFLAGS = -Wall .PHONY: all clean all: analog_clock analog_clock: analog_clock.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $^ -o $@ clean: rm analog_clock

Why do you have shell script and makefile same time.
I believe something one is enough (preferably Makefile if you don't have to use some complex shell scripting)

It's just to have an unified way to build and deploy this application

So which one is correct?
Now they use different options.

Either make should be called from the shell script and everything have to be defined in the makefile (as it done for ssd1306);

or one of them should be removed to avoid confusion.

@AleksandrBulyshchenko,

The branch is rebased onto this repo tree.
Fixed checkpatch issues
Removed unnesessary export of enviroment variabless

AleksandrBulyshchenko

@DevyatovAndrey,
Thank you for the fixes.

Here some more comments:

It's better to remove mistakenly added build artefacts right in that commit (8e7c145).
What about unifying am335x-bone-common.dtsi base with mpu6050? (will require editing of f243df6)
If possible, please provide more descriptive commit messages.

I don't think this envsetup.sh should be published at all.
It will be different for everybody (and don't have to be at all)

How to set up enviroment variables needed for these examples if there is no "envsetup.sh"?

The idea of using environment variables - is exactly to allow to use own environment, which is different for every user (otherwise they should be defined in build scripts instead of passing from environment).
So storing environment settings in VCS doesn't make much sense, because they either will be changed by users and will create a noise in git status or won't be used.
