This code can either be compiled as a module, or linked into the kernel and started at boot. If you don't understand what all this is about, say N. config PANEL_PARPORT int "Default parallel port number (0=LPT1)" depends on PANEL range 0 255 default "0" ---help--- This is the index of the parallel port the panel is connected to. One driver instance only supports one parallel port, so if your keypad and LCD are connected to two separate ports, you have to start two modules with different arguments. Numbering starts with '0' for LPT1, and so on. config PANEL_PROFILE int "Default panel profile (0-5, 0=custom)" depends on PANEL range 0 5 default "5" ---help--- To ease configuration, the driver supports different configuration profiles for past and recent wirings. These profiles can also be used to define an approximative configuration, completed by a few other options. Here are the profiles : 0 = custom (see further) 1 = 2x16 parallel LCD, old keypad 2 = 2x16 serial LCD (KS-0074), new keypad 3 = 2x16 parallel LCD (Hantronix), no keypad 4 = 2x16 parallel LCD (Nexcom NSA1045) with Nexcom's keypad 5 = 2x40 parallel LCD (old one), with old keypad Custom configurations allow you to define how your display is wired to the parallel port, and how it works. This is only intended for experts. config PANEL_KEYPAD depends on PANEL && PANEL_PROFILE="0" int "Keypad type (0=none, 1=old 6 keys, 2=new 6 keys, 3=Nexcom 4 keys)" range 0 3 default 0 ---help--- This enables and configures a keypad connected to the parallel port.

Common values are 16,20,24,40. config PANEL_LCD_BWIDTH depends on PANEL && PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Internal LCD line width (1-40, 40 by default)" range 1 40 default 40 ---help--- Most LCDs use a standard controller which supports hardware lines of 40 characters, although sometimes only 16, 20 or 24 of them are really wired to the terminal. This results in some non-visible but addressable characters, and is the case for most parallel LCDs. Other LCDs, and some serial ones, however, use the same line width internally as what is visible. The KS0074 for example, uses 16 characters per line for 16 visible characters per line. This option lets you configure the value used by your LCD in 'custom' profile. If you don't know, put '40' here. config PANEL_LCD_HWIDTH depends on PANEL && PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "Hardware LCD line width (1-64, 64 by default)" range 1 64 default 64 ---help--- Most LCDs use a single address bit to differentiate line 0 and line 1. Since some of them need to be able to address 40 chars with the lower bits, they often use the immediately superior power of 2, which is 64, to address the next line. If you don't know what your LCD uses, in doubt let 16 here for a 2x16, and 64 here for a 2x40. config PANEL_LCD_CHARSET depends on PANEL && PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "LCD character set (0=normal, 1=KS0074)" range 0 1 default 0 ---help--- Some controllers such as the KS0074 use a somewhat strange character set where many symbols are at unusual places. The driver knows how to map 'standard' ASCII characters to the character sets used by these controllers. Valid values are : 0 : normal (untranslated) character set 1 : KS0074 character set If you don't know, use the normal one (0). config PANEL_LCD_PROTO depends on PANEL && PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" int "LCD communication mode (0=parallel 8 bits, 1=serial)" range 0 1 default 0 ---help--- This driver now supports any serial or parallel LCD wired to a parallel port. But before assigning signals, the driver needs to know if it will be driving a serial LCD or a parallel one. Serial LCDs only use 2 wires (SDA/SCL), while parallel ones use 2 or 3 wires for the control signals (E, RS, sometimes RW), and 4 or 8 for the data. Use 0 here for a 8 bits parallel LCD, and 1 for a serial LCD. config PANEL_LCD_PIN_E depends on PANEL && PANEL_PROFILE="0" && PANEL_LCD="1" && PANEL_LCD_PROTO="0" int "Parallel port pin number & polarity connected to the LCD E signal (-17...17) " range -17 17 default 14 ---help--- This describes the number of the parallel port pin to which the LCD 'E' signal has been connected.
