This is a "HowTo" for the Panasonic EDMGRB8KJF (Datasheet) available from EarthLCD to be used with the Hammer development module from TinCanTools

Linux Kernel 2.6.29.6 Build Notes

In order to get this screen to work framebuffer support has to be built into your kernel. 

 cd hammer/source/linux-2.6.29.6
 export ARCH=arm
 export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-uclibc-
 make menuconfig 

 Device Drivers ->  Graphics Support -> Support for frame buffer devices
 Inside this sub menu add:
 [*] Enable Video Mode Handling Helpers
 <*> S3C2410 LCD framebuffer support

 Under Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Console display driver support ADD
 Framebuffer Console Support

NOTE: It is also a good idea to go ahead and add the boot logo.


The next step is to add the display settings to your mach-tct_hammer.c file in ./arch/arm/s3c2410 If you have questions about this file please see the linux documentation ( I will try to make a patch for this at a later date)
