The LCD module
So here you can find the current testing version of my module. It can be used to display some text but it has still some bugs
kmod-lcd4wl_2430-brcm-1_mipsel
Usage: To install the precompiled module download the ipk above and install it:
ipkg install kmod-lcd4wl_2430-brcm-1_mipsel.ipk
Then insert the module:
insmod lcd4wl
Using dmesg should show you what to do next.
mknod /dev/lcd c xxx 0 … where xxx is the major number of your device
After creating the device entry you can access your LCD with:
echo “Hello OpenWRTnrShow me if it’s working” > /dev/lcd
for writing to the LCD or
cat /dev/lcd
to read from the LCD.
