19" touchscreen driver

Hi,

I am using android 2.2 from my beagleboard. But my usb 19" touchscreen ( model : irtouch )is not working. What should I  do?

I installed eclipse c++ , cdt and CodeSourcerys' 2009q1-203 (cross compiler) for my desktop. I did download irtouch driver for linux. But, how can I convert to android(or kernel) this driver files .

The same applies to the usb modem.

  • As a starting step, Download Kernel Sources from the release page
    http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/TI_Android_DevKit/02_02_00/index_FDS.html
    Toolchain from Android open Source Git http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/prebuilt.git;a=tree;f=linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0;h=0f1763c115040381493278dde810a69e4bc37a76;hb=HEAD
    Add your drivers to kernel ,build kernel and boot up the board.
    Please post the the problems you are facing in the above sequence.

    Regards,

    Arun

  • Thanks Arun,

    How do I add my driver to kernel (Irtouch driver for ubuntu ) ?  Do you have an example from start to finish ?

    I'm so confused and I'm tired, help please.


  • cem,

    You need the source code available for your touchscreen device. This has to be integrated with the TI Android DevKit kernel sources.

    Then you enable this driver in the kernel configuration. Copy the resulting kernel uImage to the SD card (replace the original devkit version) and boot your device.
