| 1 | +DT bindings for the Hitachi HD44780 Character LCD Controller |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +The Hitachi HD44780 Character LCD Controller is commonly used on character LCDs |
| 4 | +that can display one or more lines of text. It exposes an M6800 bus interface, |
| 5 | +which can be used in either 4-bit or 8-bit mode. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Required properties: |
| 8 | + - compatible: Must contain "hit,hd44780", |
| 9 | + - data-gpios: Must contain an array of either 4 or 8 GPIO specifiers, |
| 10 | + referring to the GPIO pins connected to the data signal lines DB0-DB7 |
| 11 | + (8-bit mode) or DB4-DB7 (4-bit mode) of the LCD Controller's bus interface, |
| 12 | + - enable-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin |
| 13 | + connected to the "E" (Enable) signal line of the LCD Controller's bus |
| 14 | + interface, |
| 15 | + - rs-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin |
| 16 | + connected to the "RS" (Register Select) signal line of the LCD Controller's |
| 17 | + bus interface, |
| 18 | + - display-height-chars: Height of the display, in character cells, |
| 19 | + - display-width-chars: Width of the display, in character cells. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Optional properties: |
| 22 | + - rw-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin |
| 23 | + connected to the "RW" (Read/Write) signal line of the LCD Controller's bus |
| 24 | + interface, |
| 25 | + - backlight-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin |
| 26 | + used for enabling the LCD's backlight, |
| 27 | + - internal-buffer-width: Internal buffer width (default is 40 for displays |
| 28 | + with 1 or 2 lines, and display-width-chars for displays with more than 2 |
| 29 | + lines). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Example: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + auxdisplay { |
| 34 | + compatible = "hit,hd44780"; |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + data-gpios = <&hc595 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, |
| 37 | + <&hc595 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, |
| 38 | + <&hc595 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, |
| 39 | + <&hc595 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; |
| 40 | + enable-gpios = <&hc595 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; |
| 41 | + rs-gpios = <&hc595 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + display-height-chars = <2>; |
| 44 | + display-width-chars = <16>; |
| 45 | + }; |
