1. The tscdrv.c code (my linux-sunxi port, too) is (c) AW proprietary, You need to contact AW support (+ for a complete TSC Manual).

2. I've suspended my TSC project until a complete A20 TSC manual is available or I get the time for register probe rev. engineering.

3. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-porting/EMAG4RUlOjI

"Now we are planning to integrate a TV chip with this (DVB-T) . Allwinner has TS control block and a sample driver along with it."

Who is "we"?

I don't support Android OS platform, nor do "we" support closed source product developers from hidden proprietary products manufacturers
usually not releasing derivated works of GPL'd code back to "us" or the android-porting project with their products,
especially not for free. Please refer to the known consultant companies if Your company needs "help".

Please, tell Your Boss there's a big difference between "help" and valuable expensive engineering project consulting, thank You.
Code maybe free under GPL (only the without warranty version) but consulting for it is not, and violating the GPL is breaking the law, worldwide.

This is the second request directly adressed to me off-list from a commercial company to work for free for them,
I will drop any further to the JUNK Mail folder without notice.
