So why don't you have a check with the changes you made inside u-boot source code? This would be a simple way to fix your problem instantly. I guess there is only some configurations needed for pin mux of SPI.

The touch screen is a linux driver. It should be easy to work with Angstrom if it already work on your linux/android. So I suggest you to have some check with your u-boot setting first.

Hi,

I have a Beagleboard C4 with Angstrom (kernel 2.6.32). Everything works, except the tuchscreen.
I found a lot of information on the net about the touchscreen, but most of them are outdated, or describes a specific case. All the information i found is: "copy it from Android".

I see that there is a ads7846 driver in the kernel (this is necessary for touchscreen, AFAIK), but it does not work.
Is there a description which contains all information for Beagleboard to use the touchscreen (gpio settings, u-boot settings, kernel config, etc)?
Is ads7846 enough? Will the Angstrom support it in the near future?

Thanx inadvance

Hi,

I am stuck in the touchscreen problem yet with Angstrom and Beagleboard C4.
I tried the u-boot from ftp site but the ads7846 kernel driver does not work.

Any help would be appreciated
