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

Datasheet of the

Hardware connection

To make the physiucal connection between the board and the display easier, TFT EDT display adapter was designed to connect the set together.
To implement the display capabilities, following connections need to be made:

TFT EDT display adapter is plugged into the Base Board H200
additional required signals between adapter H2 header and H501 on the Base Board are established using a 4-wire connection
All the connections between the TFT EDT display adapter and the display are established using a flexible flat cable
touchscreen connection between iMX6 Rex Development kit J40 and LVDS Adapter J3 (using LVDS and Touchscreen cable)

LVDS and Touchscreen cable

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:

Rex U-Boot > setenv video 'video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,edt570,if=RGB666 video=mxcfb1:off'
Rex U-Boot > boot

Touchscreen test

Make sure TSC2007 chip is detected and bound as input device:

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)

Touchscreen events are generated after pressing the resistive layer:

root@imx6-rexultra:~# evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-21a4000.i2c-event
