Hi,



The kernel I am using is 2.4. When I copy test.bin to /dev/fbdir/0, which function does the Linux call?



Yours Sincerely,



Ai Chengshi

Then, which function call fib_write? I found that this function was called in many times.

Sincerely yours,

If I want to transfer data in frame buffer to LCD GRAM, where should I add this function to?

Sincerely,

fb_write() is called by the virtual filesystem itself. You do not call
this directly.

To transfer contents to/from framebuffer, you might need to make code
that will periodically do a memcopy (or similar) that is triggered
perhaps by a timer or during vsync/vblank.
