Linux Console Driver

S1D13708

Issue Date: 01/11/14

Follow the steps below to construct a copy of the Linux operating system using the 
S1D13708 as the console display device. These instructions assume that the GNU devel-
opment environment is installed and the user is familiar with GNU and the Linux operating 
system.

1. Acquire the Linux kernel source code.

You can obtain the Linux kernel source code from your Linux supplier or download 
the source from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org.

The S1D13708 reference driver requires Linux kernel 2.4.x or greater. The example 
S1D13708 reference driver available on www.erd.epson.com was built using Red Hat 
Linux 6.1, kernel version 2.4.5.

For information on building the kernel refer to the readme file at:

ftp://ftp.linuxberg.com/pub/linux/kernel/README

Before continuing with modifications for the S1D13708, you should ensure that you can 
build and start the Linux operating system.

2. Unzip the console driver files.

Using a zip file utility, unzip the S1D13708 archive to a temporary directory. (e.g. 
/tmp)

When completed the files:

Config.in
fbmem.c
fbcon-cfb4.c
Makefile

should be located in the temporary directory (/tmp), and the files:

Makefile
s1d13xxxfb.c
s1d13708.h

should be located in a sub-directory called epson within the temporary directory 
(/tmp/epson).

3. Copy the console driver files to the build directory. Make the directory 

/usr/src/linux/drivers/video/epson.

Copy the files

/tmp/epson/s1d13xxxfb.c 
/tmp/epson/s1d13708.h
/tmp/epson/Makefile

to the directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/video/epson.
