LCD HDMI Touchscreen in UP Board Ubilinux

Yuusa

Hi I'm new to UP Board, and I'm trying to make a project that uses LCD HDMI Touchscreen with Up Board that has Ubilinux as OS. Most the driver installation tutorial referring for Raspberry Pi. Is there any tutorial I can follow to install the driver in Up Board Intel Atom?

Hi Yuusa,
We have established UP-WiKi, which contains a lot of related information.

Hi, thanks for attaching the link. Can you refer specifically where to setup touchscreen for the board? I haven't been able to find it. Thank you!

Hi Yuusa,

You can use USB to connect touch functions.
There is a USB signal on the CN7 Wafer and it can be used.

Unfortunately the LCD I'm using uses I/Os for the touchscreen. I think something similar to this LCD https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD

Hi Yuusa,

This need you to confirm the interface of the touch screen with the supplier.
Normally, most of the functions of Rpi are supported, but the software needs to be adjusted by yourself.
Judging from the page introduction, the function of his touch screen is to take the function of 40pin, which may be Uart, I2C....

The touchscreen is controlled through SPI.
Because we cannot use device tree files on x86 platform, you need to write a small kernel driver like explained here:
