template for driver

nicolad76

Hi all....this is the "idea of 6 PM" after an heavy day.

I will start writing my first driver ever for a e-ink monitor from PVI (does anybody have one ready )...I am trying to build a little background before killing the display and I thought...driver is about timing, pins assignement and basic functions (init, write, read...send command..send data) etc etc...
Is possible there is no tool to quickly develop drivers? Does any "template" exists?
I assume I am too tired if I am thinking of that...

What is your idea?

Thanks

If you want to do something like this I would suggest that you get the Hydra book. It has a lot of useful info in it. I don't think that there are really any templates that exist because every driver will be different. I'm not sure what kind of a signal the display expects so there may be something that will work.

If you do have to write a drive start with a good flow-chart or pseudo code. After you have done this and have a good algorithm you can think about writing some code either in spin or assembler.
