== Software instructions ==
 
iMX6 Rex Display Set is preinstalled with Android operation system enabling LVDS and touchscreen capabilities by default. Manual configuration is not necessary, but might be useful in individual cases.
 
=== LVDS manual booting ===
 
Mannually booting with LVDS interface as a primary source for video output:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
Rex U-Boot > setenv video 'video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,edt570,if=RGB666 video=mxcfb1:off'
 
Rex U-Boot > boot
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
=== Touchscreen test ===
 
Make sure TSC2007 chip is detected and bound as input device:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 
root@imx6-rexultra:~# dmesg | grep -i tsc2007
 
input: TSC2007 Touchscreen as /devices/soc0/soc.0/2100000.aips-bus/21a4000.i2c/i2c-1/1-0048/input/input0
 
evbug: Connected device: input0 (TSC2007 Touchscreen at 1-0048/input0)
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
Touchscreen events are generated after pressing the resistive layer:

This section shows information about TFT EDT display. This multitouch capacitive display is assigned to be used with the i.MX53, i.MX51 and i.MX25 SODIMM PC - Development Kits. It is supported in OS Linux, Android and Qt4e.

The display datasheet can be downloaded from here.

Hardware connection

To make the physical connection between the board and the display easier, TFT EDT display adapter was designed to connect the set together. i.MX25 SODIMM Base Board-TFT EDT display adapter-Display connection.jpg
To implement the display capabilities, following connections need to be made:

  • TFT EDT display adapter is plugged into the Base Board H200 and H700 male headers. By using this two point connection, pin 1 cannot be plugged the wrong way.
  • SPI control is established between adapter H2 header and H501 connector on the Base Board using four separate wires (see the picture below)
  • A flexible flat cable is plugged for all the connections between the adapter and the display
