debugging on capacitive touch screen

if you are the engineer for develop driver with a vendor who just enter into this area (junior vendor), the following experience might help.

 

1. android UI which handle the touch points is pretty mature. so don't quest on the up level applications.

2. all the accurate adjustment must be done by the vendor.

3. the request of 2. should be early done by vendor as possible.

 

Performance debugging.

 

1. I2C issues, touch pannel vendor should make sure all the time sequencing following the spec of Marvell.

    the vendor is lazy doing on this, make sure the HW engineer stare at this

2. the touch pannel sometimes send wrong point to kernel, so vendor has responsibility to clear out the mistake point.

 

3. Kernel optimizing: a. the points should be around 50-60 every second enough for touch imput method, make sure the point sent by kernel satify this requirement.

b. turn on cpu caching config (PXA935 have this option, 310 dont)

c. raise cpu speed to highest when touch happen and restore it back when figure leaves (pxa935 cpu speed automatic adjusts by itself)
