Introduction

We suggest the use of tslib for Panel-Card with touch screen and ADS7846. This arcticle gives a step by step guidance for installing tslib and patching Nano-X

Requirements

• microwindows-0.91-20090128 Download
• microwindows-tslib patch Download
• tslib (precompiled and source) Download

Installation

tslib

The tslib archive consists of two directories - one containing the pre-compiled binaries (./tslib/) and one containing the sources (./tslib-1.0/). After extracting edit ./tslib/etc/ts.conf and alter the following line to this version.

# Uncomment if you wish to use the linux input layer event interface
module_raw input
...

The directory ./tslib needs to be added to PanelCard's root file system.

Nano-X

To enable tslib support Nano-X sources need to be patched.

patch -p1 < microwindows-tslib.patch

Before compiling the patched sources change your Nano-X config file to use tslib as input.

...

It is also necessary to add your path to tslib to Makefile.rules.

For example :

...
TSLIB_DIR	= /develop/tslib
...

After compiling copy ./lib/libnano-X.so (to /lib/), ./bin/nano-X and ./bin/nanowm (both to /bin/) to PanelCard's root file system.

Usage

It is not required to make any changes to your programs when using Nano-X with tslib support, but it is necessary to inform Nano-X about the device used by tslib.

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/event0
nano-X&
nanowm&
