Subject: [PATCH 2/6] dt-bindings/display: Add Solomon SSD16xx e-paper controller binding
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 00:03:07 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430183311.2978142-3-devarsht@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430183311.2978142-1-devarsht@ti.com>
Add device tree binding for the Solomon Systech SSD16xx family of e-Paper
display controllers (SSD1683 [1], SSD1673 [3], SSD1680 [4], SSD1681 [5]).
The binding covers the 4-wire SPI interface with required GPIO pins for
reset (active-low), busy status (active-high), and data/command selection.
The spi-max-frequency is capped at 20 MHz per the SSD1683 datasheet [1]
which is also the maximum supported frequency amongst the family.
An optional rotation property allows static display orientation to be
configured from device tree.
The data/command selection GPIO pin is also kept as optional since various
SSD16XX controllers such as SSD1683 [1] support 3-wire mode too with
data/command selection bit transmitted as first bit before sending the data
sequence.
The first supported compatible is for Gooddisplay GDEY042T81 which is 4.2",
400x300 resolution black/white e-paper display using SSD1683 controller.

+description:
+ The SSD16xx family includes e-paper display controllers (SSD1680, SSD1681,
+ SSD1673, SSD1683) with integrated gate driver, source driver and timing controller.
+ Different panels use these controllers in monochrome or 3-color configurations.
+ The controller uses a 4-wire SPI interface and requires GPIO pins for reset,
+ busy status, and data/command control with a 3-wire mode also available
+ where D/C bit is transmitted along the SPI data line before sending actual data.
