| 3. Wiring |
| --------- |
| |
| The cfag12864b LCD Series don't have official wiring. |
| |
| The common wiring is done to the parallel port as shown:: |

| 4. Userspace Programming |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX). |
| |
| It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte. |
| Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will |
| turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off. |
| |
| You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose... |
| Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives. |
| |
| Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close... |
| which is the best option for most uses. |
| |
| Check samples/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c |
| for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples. |
