Hi all, 

I want to learn how to use my NEEK's LCD display from uclinux. 

For that reason, I want to use the lcd application that comes with the uclinux-dist (under user). 

In menu xconfig, I enabled the lcd example under Misc Applications. 

I download the image, start uclinux, and type lcd, I get the following output : 

opening lcddma...returned -1 

lcd.c is trying to open /dev/lcddma. I checked uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x/include/asm-nios2/nios2.h and I found lcd_sgdma 

I changed lcd.c to look for lcd_sgdma but kept having the same error. 

Any pointers ? 

 

Thanks

Hi Yasuhiro and multilane, 

 

I am exactly trying to do the same thing. 

I use the HW neek_web_server_mmu and the SW with MMU (so nios2-linux-20090929.tar) 

 

Then i do menuconfig 

 

kernel/library/defaults selection 

 

 

[*] Default all settings (lose changes)  

 

[*] Customize Kernel Settings  

 

NiosII Configuration ---> 

 

NiosII FPGA configuration (MMU_DEFAULT) ---> 

(X) CUSTOM_FPGA 

 

Devices Drivers ---> 

 

Character devices ---> 

 

[*] Virtual terminal 

 

Graphics support ---> 

<*> Support for frame buffer devices ---> 

<*> Altera framebuffer support 

Console display driver support ---> 

[ ] VGA text console (NEW) 

< > Framebuffer Console support (NEW) 

 

The build is OK 

But after download on the neek it do not start : 

 

Here is the log 

 

Linux/Nios II-MMU 

init_bootmem_node(?,0x326, 0x0, 0x2000) 

free_bootmem(0x326000, 0x1cda000) 

reserve_bootmem(0x326000, 0x400) 

Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 8128 

Kernel command line:  

NR_IRQS:32 

PID hash table entries: 128 (order: 7, 512 bytes) 

Console: colour dummy device 80x25 

console handover: boot [early0] -> real [tty0] 

 

 

And it seems not to continue to start. 

Nothing appears on the screen.
