Interfacing Touchscreen (edt-ft5406) with stm32mp157c in Linux-Kernel

[ahamod3.1416]

Hi everyone,

We have developed a custom board based on stm32mp157 mpu. We have used openstlinux distribution and the branch is "kirkstone". We have interfaced edt_ft5x06 display. Display is working perfectly fine but problem arises when we try to interact with the touch. It is completely unresponsive. With "evtest" in Linux kernel I do not see any touch event. Devicetree entry for my touch-screen is following:

 

 

 touchscreen@38 {
 compatible ="edt,edt-ft5406";
 reg = <0x38>;
 interrupts = <2 2>;
 interrupt-parent = <&gpiof>;
 interrupt-controller;
 touchscreen-size-x = <480>;
 touchscreen-size-y = <800>;
 vcc-supply = <&v3v3>;
 iovcc-supply = <&v3v3>;
 status = "okay";
 };

 

 

If I look thorough the dmesg, then I get following entry:

 

 

[ 2.081938] input: EP0700M12 as /devices/platform/soc/40012000.i2c/i2c-0/0-0038/input/input0

 

Also I have following entry for the interrupt:

I tried possible solutions, but could not get it to work. Can anyone tell me what is the reason for this behavior? Thanks a lot.

Yes, documentation for panels is often lacking. You could contact the supplier of the panel but often they developed the panel with old linux version or don't even have any Linux experience.. You can also edit the driver and put some debug messages in the code to see what is happening. check the device tree binding documentation in the kernel as well. This works for me but YMMV depending on your hardware (which seems ok as the input driver was found)

 

ft5x06: ft5x06@38 {

compatible = "edt,edt-ft5306";

reg = <0x38>;

interrupts = <7 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;

interrupt-parent = <&gpiog>;

interrupt-controller;

reset-gpios = <&gpiog 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

status = "okay";

touchscreen-swapped-x-y = "true";

touchscreen-size-x = <600>;

touchscreen-size-y = <1024>;

};

Thanks for your reply. I fixed it, I was referring to wrong interrupt pin. After correcting "interrupts" parameter, touch is working perfectly. Thanks again.

You can mark this as solved by your own answer. interesting though, because some touch drivers don't event load with the wrong interrupt pin
