In some internal documentation it says "LCD Driver IC" "HX83112A" and I
don't see any reference to Truly 5P65 anywhere.
In the Android directory I pointed to I see this file:
HX83112_Android_Driver/Truly_5p65_module_fw/UpdateFW.bat
(Notice the 5p65 fw dir is *inside* the HX82112 dir)
And in that file:
adb push TRULY_5P65_1080_2160_HX83112A_D01C01.bin
/system/etc/firmware/Himax_firmware.bin
Clearly indicating that they are pushing a Truly 5P65 firmware into
the Himax display firmware directory.
To be fair, that is the driver for the touchscreen part of HX83112A,
but ... Truly is a well known manufacturer of display controllers?
But... given that you have a @fairphone.com mal address and
a working relationship with them, can't you just ask?
On their website they have this sentence:
All OEMs want to look like everything is their own product. It is
business as usual.
I can't tell you anything there that I don't know, sorry.
Further on the same note since I guess you have a datasheet)
please bring in #defines for the commands (the first byte in the
write sequences, for examples:
+ mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq(dsi, 0xbd, 0x02);
+ mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq(dsi, 0xd8,
+ 0xaa, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xaa, 0xff,
+ 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff);
+ mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq(dsi, 0xbd, 0x03);
Clearly 0xbd is HX83112_CMD_SETREGBANK?
(This is easily spotted from the similar structure in the
existing panel-himax-hx8394.c.) So please add #defines
for all commands you know, especially if you have a datasheet
because we reviewers don't have them and "it's just magic
bytes" isn't very compelling. It adds a lot to understanding.
Right, the register names seem to match more or less the ones from that
driver, plus some new ones and some differently named ones. Will send a
v3 with that.
I strongly suspect other Himax displays such as HX8394 to
be using a Truly controller as well, hence the similarities.
In a datasheet for their TFT800480-84-V1-E display controller
Truly kept the init sequence name of void LCD_INIT_HX8290(void)
for example.
In that datasheet (assuming I'm looking at the same one?) it says
"Driver IC" "HX8290-A[...]" so there the display driver is manufactured
by Himax and not Truly to my understanding. Truly is assembling together
Driver + all the other parts that go into an LCD.
For the panel used on Fairphone 4 that part is done by the company DJN.
Looking at the discussion, this seems to confirm the Display+Touch IC is
HX83112A,
and Truly is the panel manufacturer and all assembled by DJN, so IMHO the
initial driver is right.
Perhaps the compatible should be djn,hx83112a-truly-5p65 to reflect that ?
