LCD Header files
================

  include/nuttx/lcd/lcd.h

      Structures and APIs needed to work with LCD drivers are provided in
      this header file.  This header file also depends on some of the same
      definitions used for the frame buffer driver as privided in
      include/nuttx/video/fb.h.

  struct lcd_dev_s

      Each LCD device driver must implement an instance of struct lcd_dev_s.
      That structure defines a call table with the following methods:

      - Get information about the LCD video controller configuration and the
        configuration of each LCD color plane.

        int (*getvideoinfo)(FAR struct lcd_dev_s *dev,
                            FAR struct fb_videoinfo_s *vinfo);
        int (*getplaneinfo)(FAR struct lcd_dev_s *dev, unsigned int planeno,
                           FAR struct lcd_planeinfo_s *pinfo);

      - The following are provided only if the video hardware supports RGB
        color mapping:

        int (*getcmap)(FAR struct lcd_dev_s *dev,
                       FAR struct fb_cmap_s *cmap);
        int (*putcmap)(FAR struct lcd_dev_s *dev,
                       FAR const struct fb_cmap_s *cmap);

      - The following are provided only if the video hardware supports a
        hardware cursor:

        int (*getcursor)(FAR struct lcd_dev_s *dev,
                         FAR struct fb_cursorattrib_s *attrib);
        int (*setcursor)(FAR struct lcd_dev_s *dev,
                         FAR struct fb_setcursor_s *settings);

      - Get the LCD panel power status (0: full off - CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER:
        full on). On backlit LCDs, this setting may correspond to the
        backlight setting.

        int (*getpower)(struct lcd_dev_s *dev);

      - Enable/disable LCD panel power (0: full off - CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER:
        full on). On backlit LCDs, this setting may correspond to the
        backlight setting.

        int (*setpower)(struct lcd_dev_s *dev, int power);

      - Get the current contrast setting (0-CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST) */

        int (*getcontrast)(struct lcd_dev_s *dev);

     - Set LCD panel contrast (0-CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST)

        int (*setcontrast)(struct lcd_dev_s *dev, unsigned int contrast);

Binding LCD Drivers
===================

  LCD drivers are not normally directly accessed by user code, but are
  usually bound to another,  higher level device driver. In general, the
  binding sequence is:

  1. Get an instance of struct lcd_dev_s from the hardware-specific LCD
     device driver, and
  2. Provide that instance to the initialization method of the higher
     level device driver.

Examples: /drivers/lcd/
=======================

Re-usable LCD drivers reside in the drivers/lcd directory:

  LCDs:
  ----
  mio283qt2.c. This is a driver for the MI0283QT-2 LCD from Multi-Inno
    Technology Co., Ltd.  This LCD is based on the Himax HX8347-D LCD
    controller.

  mio283qt9a.c.  This is a driver for the MI0283QT-9A LCD from Multi-Inno

    PCF883 or the Epson S1D15G10 display controller.  This LCD is used
    with the Olimex LPC1766-STK (but has not been fully integrated).

  ssd12989.c.  Generic LCD driver for LCDs based on the Solomon Systech
    SSD1289 LCD controller. Think of this as a template for an LCD driver
    that you will proably ahve to customize for any particular LCD
    hardware. (see also configs/hymini-stm32v/src/ssd1289.c below).

  st7567.c.  LCD Display Module, ST7567, Univision Technology Inc. Used
    with the LPCXpresso and Embedded Artists base board.

  memlcd.c.  Sharp Memory LCD Suite, LS013B7DH01, LS013B7DH03, etc.
    There are some more different models, they are basically controlled
    by similar logics, thus this driver can be extended.  Example usage:

==================

There are additional LCD drivers in the configs/<board>/src directory
that support additional LCDs.  LCD drivers in the configuration directory
if they support some differ LCD interface (such as a parallel interface)
that makes then less re-usable:

      This was never completedly debugged ... there are probably issues
      with that nasty 9-bit SPI interfaces.

    configs/skp16c26/src/up_lcd.c.  Untested alphanumeric LCD driver.
    configs/pcblogic-pic32mx/src/up_lcd1602.c. LCD1602 is based on the
      Hitachi HD44780U LCD controller.  This version of the driver
      uses the PIC32MX PMP interface to control the LCD.  As of this
      writing, has *NOT* been verfied (mostly because I get bewildered
      by all of the jumper wires).  See include/nuttx/lcd/hd4478ou.h
      for more information about LCD1602.
    configs/sure-pic32mx/src/up_lcd1602.c. Another LCD1602 segment
      LCD.  This is a bit-bang version of the driver and appears to
      be fully functional.  This version of the LCD1602 driver has
      been verified and is working fine.
    configs/stm32ldiscovery/src/stm32_lcd.c.  1x6 segment LCD with bars
      using the segment LCD controller built-into the STM32L15X.
