Honored ContributorLoading 16207 LCD driver
I'm using the 16207 LCD on my DE2 board for a project, and it works when tested through the Nios IDE. I include the option for it in the uClinux menuconfig, but I don't think the driver is being loaded. It doesn't come up at boot time, or in /dev, or in lsmod, or any other place I can think of. Is there any way I can load it manually?
Thanks for your help. Edit: it doesn't even seem like any object code is being built for it. Does it depend on any options besides "[*] Nios 16207 LCD device support" ?2 Replies
