I wrote a device tree overlay for driver ad7879-i2c touchscreen (compiled as module using Raspberry Pi source, files: ad7879-i2c.c, ad7879.c). Driver gets loaded but i guess parameters are not passed to driver. Device is on i2c1, 0x2c address, GPIO 26 (BCM 12). evtest shows default parameters of driver and touchscreen doesn't work at all.

In /boot/config.txt:

dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=i2c-ad7879

In /etc/modules:

i2c-bcm2708
i2c-dev

  • Did you get this working? If so, could you send me the device tree? If not, would you like the help of someone in the same boat you are? I have suggestions, they might not be any good. I don't want to send them if you already have it working. Bob

Have you tried changing the line

compatible = "adi,ad7879";

to

compatible = "adi,ad7879-1";

on the dts?

According to the datasheed, ad7879-1 is the correct P/N of i2c version (ad7879 is the spi version). http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/AD7879_7889.pdf

Also, this page says to use ad7879-1 for i2c slave: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/29/724
