Linux kernel patches for TS-72XX

I have been working (for personnal purpose) on EP93XX architecture since 2004. I'd like to greet Technologic Systems for designing such great SBCs ! Their support team is very skilled too.

Here is some download of my work

• Patch against vanilla kernel 2.6.32.3 : linux-2.6.32.3-ts7200_matt-1.tar.gz (separated patches). Changelog here.
• Patch against vanilla kernel 2.6.32-rc3 : linux-2.6.32-rc3-ts7200_matt-1.tar.gz (separated patches). Changelog here.
• Patch against vanilla kernel 2.6.29.1 : linux-2.6.29.1-ts7200_matt-7.tar.gz (separated patches). Changelog here.
• Patch against vanilla kernel 2.6.28.3 : linux-2.6.28.3-ts7200_matt-3.tar.gz (separated patches). Changelog here.
• Patch against vanilla kernel 2.6.27.4 : linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_matt-4.tar.gz (separated patches). Changelog here.
• Patch against vanilla kernel 2.6.24.4 : linux-2.6.24.4-ts7200_matt-10.zip (monolithic patch with documentation). Changelog here.

Linux kernel driver for Shuttle VFD

Kernel linux driver for Shuttle VFD (tested on a Shuttle SG33G5M up to kernel 2.6.29). Adds 4 sysfs entries (with basepath /sys/bus/usb/drivers/shuttle_vfd/5-2\:1.1/):

• text : display up to 20 characters
• text_style : left, right, center
• mode : clock (built-in feature), text, cpu (1s refresh)
• icons : clock, radio, music, dvd, tele, camera, rewind, record, play, pause, stop, ff, reverse, repeat, mute, volXX (1..12). Plus special names: = (set list, not or), all, none.

Try it here: shuttle_vfd_driver-1.02.tar.gz. Notice that LCDproc and LCD4Linux (CVS snapshot) already support this hardware (via libusb).

Fast acces via a short name

# echo 'L lcd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/shuttle_vfd/5-2\:1.1/text' >> /etc/udev/links.conf 
$ echo 'Hello !' >/dev/lcd

Load at startup

# cat > /etc/modprobe.d/vfd.conf 
options shuttle_vfd initial_msg="Hello"
