# Sharp Memory LCD Kernel Driver
|
|
|
|
**Note**: I did not write this driver. I only modified it to clean up compiler warnings/errors. The original can be found here:

This driver is for the LS027B7DH01. It *should* work with other Sharp Mem LCD displays by modifying all 400/240 references with the correct dimensions for your screen.
|
|
|
|
## Hookup Guide
|
|
Connect the following pins:
|
|
| Display | RasPi |
|
|
| ------- | --------- |
|
|
| VIN | 3.3V |
|
|
| 3V3 | N/C |
|
|
| GND | GND |
|
|
| SCLK | 11 (SCLK) |
|
|
| MOSI | 10 (MOSI) |
|
|
| CS | 23 |
|
|
| EXTMD | 3.3V |
|
|
| DISP | 24 |
|
|
| EXTIN | 25 |
|
|
|
|
## Compile/Install the driver
|
|
Verify that you have the linux kernel headers for your platform. For the RasPi these can be obtained by:
|
|
```sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers```
|
|
or more generally:
|
|
```sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)```
|
|
|
|
To compile the driver, run:
|
|
```make```
|
|
|
|
To install the driver, run:
|
|
```sudo make modules_install```
|
|
|
|
If you want the module to load at boot you'll need to add it to the /etc/modules file, like:
|
|
```
|
|
...
|
|
# This file contains...
|
|
# at boot time...
|
|
sharp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compile/Install the Device Tree Overlay
|
|
The included sharp.dts file is for the Raspberry Pi Zero W. To compile it, run:
|
|
```dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o sharp.dtbo sharp.dts```
|
|
|
|
To load it at runtime, copy it to /boot/overlays:
|
|
```sudo cp sharp.dtbo /boot/overlays```
|
|
|
|
And then add the following line to /boot/config.txt:
|
|
```dtoverlay=sharp```
|
|
|
|
## Console on Display
|
|
If you want the boot console to show up on the display, you'll need to append `fbcon=map:10` to /boot/cmdline.txt after *rootwait*, like:
|
|
```... rootwait ... fbcon=map:10```
|
|
|
|
To make sure the console fits on screen, uncomment the following lines in /boot/config.txt and set the resolution appropriately:
|
|
```
|
|
framebuffer_width=400
|
|
framebuffer_height=240
|
|
``` |
