The vlsys_m428 driver handles the VFD/IR combination from VLSystem built into
|
||
|
|
the case MonCaso 320 from the manufacturer Moneual. The driver functionality
|
||
|
|
is rudimentary as it is derived from a reverse engineering from the Windows
|
||
|
|
driver behaviour.

This driver writes only to the serial port, and it triggers no transmission
|
||
|
|
activity of the combination. Thus, it cooperates with drivers reading only
|
||
|
|
from the port. Other drivers are allowed to initialize the combination for
|
||
|
|
IR operation.

The vlsys_m428 driver assumes the character encoding ISO 8859-1.
|
||
|
|
Note: The mapping from the character encoding to the display encoding is not complete;
|
||
|
|
furthermore some characters are approximated by similar ones.

The only configuration parameter is <property>Device</property>, the path name
|

|
|
of the serial device (a mapper between USB and serial line emulation). By
|
||
|
|
default it is <filename class="devicefile">/dev/ttyUSB0</filename>.
