Sharp Memory LCD Kernel Driver

DRM kernel driver for 2.7" 400x240 Sharp memory LCD panel.

Cleaning old drivers

The bbqX0kbd driver has been renamed to beepy-kbd, and sharp to sharp-drm.

Driver packages will detect if one of these old modules is installed and cancel installation of the package.

Remove the following files:

  • /lib/modules/<uname>/extra/bbqX0kbd.ko*
  • /lib/modules/<uname>/extra/sharp.ko*
  • /boot/overlays/i2c-bbqX0kbd.dtbo
  • /boot/overlays/sharp.dtbo

Rebuild the module list:

  • depmod -a

Remove the following lines from /boot/config.txt:

  • dtoverlay=bbqX0kbd,irq_pin=4
  • dtoverlay=sharp

Remove the following lines from /etc/modules:

  • bbqX0kbd
  • sharp

Installation

Install the Linux kernel headers

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

To build, install, and enable the kernel module:

make
sudo make install

To remove:

sudo make uninstall
