+---------------------
+1. DEVICE INFORMATION
+---------------------
+
+Manufacturer: Crystalfontz
+Webpage: http://www.crystalfontz.com
+Device Webpage: http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/12864b/
+Type: LCD Display
+Width: 128
+Height: 64
+Colors: 2
+Controller: ks0108
+Controllers: 2
+Pages: 8 each controller
+Addresses: 64 each page
+
+
+If you compiled the device as a module, don't remember to
+update udev to get the new device node at /dev.
+
+
+---------
+2. WIRING
+---------
+
+The cfag12864b LCD Display Series don't have a official wiring.
+
+The common wiring is done to the parallel port:
+
+http://www.skippari.net/lcd/sekalaista/crystalfontz_cfag12864B-TMI-V.png
+
+You can get help at Crystalfontz and LCDInfo forums.
+
+
+
+-------------------------
+3. USER-SPACE PROGRAMMING
+-------------------------
+
+Include a copy of the provided header:
+
+ #include "cfag12864b.h"
+
+Open the device for writing, /dev/cfag12864b0:
+
+ int fd = open("/dev/cfag12864b0",O_WRONLY);
+
+Then use simple ioctl calls to control it:
+
+ ioctl(fdisplay,CFAG12864B_IOCOFF); /* Turn off (don't clear) */
+ ioctl(fdisplay,CFAG12864B_IOCON); /* Turn on */
+ ioctl(fdisplay,CFAG12864B_IOCCLEAR); /* Clear the display */
+
+For writing to the display, you have two options:
+
+
+3.1. ioctl & 128*64 boolean matrix
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+This method is easier, but you have to update the entire display
+each time you want to change it.
+
+Note:
+
+ CFAG12864B_FORMATSIZE ==
+ CFAG12864B_WIDTH * CFAG12864B_HEIGHT ==
+ 128 * 64
+
+Declare the matrix and other one:
+
+ unsigned char MyDrawing[CFAG12864B_WIDTH][CFAG12864B_HEIGHT];
+
+ unsigned char Buffer[CFAG12864B_FORMATSIZE];
+
+Copy the 2d matrix to the buffer , like:
+
+ for(i=0;i<CFAG12864B_WIDTH;++i)
+ for(j=0;j<CFAG12864B_HEIGHT;++j)
+ Buffer[i+j*CFAG12864B_WIDTH]=MyDrawing[i][j];
+
+Call the ioctl:
+
+ ioctl(fdisplay,CFAG12864B_IOCFORMAT,Buffer);
+
+Voila! Your drawing should appear on the screen.
+
+
+
+3.2. Direct writing
+-------------------
+
+This methods allows you to change each byte of the device,
+so you can achieve a higher update rate.
+
+The device size is 1024 == CFAG12864B_SIZE.
+
+You can write and seek the device. The first 512 bytes write to
+the first k0108 controller (left display half) and the last 512 bytes
+write to the second ks0108 controller (right display half).
+
+Each controller is divided into 8 pages. Each page has 64 bytes.
+
+ Controller 0 Controller 1
+ _________________________
+Page 0 |____________|____________|
+Page 1 |____________|____________|
+Page 2 |____________|____________|
+Page 3 |____________|____________|
+Page 4 |____________|____________|
+Page 5 |____________|____________|
+Page 6 |____________|____________|
+Page 7 |____________|____________|
+ <--- 64 --->
+
+You will understand how the device work executing some commands:
+
+ # echo -n A > /dev/cfag12864b0
+ # echo -n a > /dev/cfag12864b0
+ # echo AAAAAA > /dev/cfag12864b0
+ # echo 000000 > /dev/cfag12864b0
+ # echo Hello world! > /dev/cfag12864b0
+ # echo Hello world! Hello world! > /dev/cfag12864b0
+
+After you understand it, code your functions to change specific bytes.
+
+Use write() and lseek() system calls, like:
+
+ lseek(fdisplay,ipage*CFAG12864B_HEIGHT,SEEK_SET);
+ lseek(fdisplay,icontroller*CFAG12864B_SIZE/2,SEEK_SET);
+
+ write(fdisplay,bufpage,CFAG12864B_HEIGHT);
+ write(fdisplay,bufcontroller,CFAG12864B_SIZE/2);
+ write(fdisplay,bufdisplay,CFAG12864B_SIZE);
+
+

+4. USEFUL FILES

+
+
+4.1 cfag12864b.h

+
+You can use a copy of this header in your user-space programs.

+4.2 Example BMP writer

+1. NEW DISPLAY DRIVERS
+----------------------
+
+Feel free to send me new display drivers. I will try to do my best.
+
+If you don't get any answer, send your patch directly to the linux-kernel ml.
+
+
+
+---------------
+2. GENERAL TIPS
+---------------
+
+- Divide your driver into the controller driver, like ks0108,
+ and the specific LCD display series driver, like cfag12864b.
+
+- Claim for your IO ports in the controller driver.
