[Libdlo] Touch controllers with DisplayLink

[Brad Jackson]

We make specialized Linux based servers with custom hardware inside. Our
current product has a very basic front bezel with a few LEDs. We would
like to add a touchscreen OLED panel to the front to display status and
graphics. I had hoped to use a TI touchscreen controller with an SPI bus
to the GPIO pins of the DisplayLink.

Today I will look into the e2i controller and a hub as a solution. 

Currently I am trying to get the 240x320 display to function correctly.
There is very little overlap between the lowest clock rates the
DisplayLink chip supports and the highest the display supports.

Thanks for the info and all you have done to get libdlo to this point.
Brad

Hello Brad,

it's a touchscreen controller by e2i Technologies (don't know the exact 
type). Internally, it's separately connected to an USB hub.
usbtouchscreen 
supports it starting from 2.6.31.

As libdlo/tubecable don't contain any touchscreen support themselves,
that 
shouldn't be a problem IMHO. Choose any touchscreen controller you like.

I'm curious: can you talk a bit more about your project?

Yours, Florian
