[Lcd4linux-devel] USB based LCD

[Tomasz M. <tom...@xl...>]

Hello there,

I'm writing on behalf of a division of XLogic that is currently introducing an USB based HD44780 controller.

For the sake of manufacturing simplicity and cost efficiency, we are using a fixed function USB interface chip, whose GPIO lines are used to toggle HD44780-compatible LCDs. Thus, we want to go down the route of implementing a libusb based control software, that would use USB interrupts to send control commands to the LCD. 

As advised in the http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki/driver_howto, I'm posting on this list in hopes of finding some clues (beyond reading drv_USBLCD.c) on what we need to be on the lookout for. 

Cheers,   
Tomasz
