framebuffer 为linux系统为显示设备提供的一个接口,将显示缓冲区抽象,屏蔽图像硬件的底层差异,允许上层应用在图形模式下直接对显示缓冲区直接操作。framebuffer为一个字符设备,主设备号29,lframebuffer的显示缓冲区在linux的内核太的地址空间,在linux中,应用程序都有自己的虚拟地址空间,应用程序不能直接访问物理缓冲区地址的,在fileoperations结构中提供了mmap()函数,可将文件的内容映射到用户空间。对于帧缓冲通过将屏幕缓冲区(Framebuffer)的物理地址映射到用户空间的一段虚拟地址中。
LCD显示原理,framebuffer驱动就是分配一块内存显示,然后设置LCD的控制寄存器,LCD显示器不断地从显存中获取数据并在LCD显示,实现这些操作的方法是 :填充struct fb_info结构体,并调用register_framebuffer(fbinfo)向内核注册结构体struct fb_info,其结构中最主要的的是fs_ops成员。
