Hi All,

I am trying to connect a capacitive touch panel to my Olimex A10 but I am having fun with IRQ mismatches please see dmesg below;

======goodix_gt811 probe======
[   72.689494] ctp_set_irq_mode: config gpio to int mode.
[   72.700645] ctp_set_irq_mode, 231: gpio_int_info, port = 8, port_num = 21.

[   72.781586] IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 28
[   72.788988] current handler: sunxi-gpio

I am using the existing drivers and think I have the FEX configured correctly.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Anthony,

Which OS? Linux or Android? Your output below indicates this is possibly not Android as the messages don't look the same as what I can see in the Android Linux driver for the GT811.

Which GPIO pin have you got the touch IRQ connected to?

I assume you also have the I2C connected to the touch panel?

Can you show the FEX settings for your [ctp_para]?

current handler: sunxi-gpio

Make sure that there is no other code or driver using the same GPIO Pin.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the replies, scratching my head with this one.

Figured it out, unloading the sunxi-gpio module got me through the first hurdle.

Unfortunately the touch panel I am using appears to be faulty, INT line goes from 3.3V to ~3V on touch.

Luckily another panel I am evaluating has turned up based on a Focal Tech chip I am now trying to get this working.

I have got through the interrupt config stage (by removing sunxi-gpio) but now I am having problems with I2C comms.

I can i2cdetect the panel and it shows up at 0x38 on controller 2.

DMESG output when I insmod

Please note at this point I simply pulling the reset line high (while i sort out the GPIO problems)

Now the touch panel seems to fire off an interrupt when I touch it but I get a load of errors shown below

[  826.006182] START can't sendout!

After the insmod if I perform an i2cdetect it shows UU at location 0x38 so not sure what is going on.

Again thanks for your help

Update: touch panel is working, it just seems a bit slow to respond, presumably due to all the I2C errors...........

dave-at-axon

Good detective work.

As for your errors, does your panel have any pull-ups on the I2C bus?

You should have none as the A10 itself has them. I ran into this the first time and now my board is not fitted with them.

Good thought but no, tried removing pull ups, no difference, loads of errors.

Have just noticed that the data line is only going up to 1V8 though (despite 3V3 pull ups on Olimex).
