* dm: video: Flush the cache after a puts()Simon Glass2016-02-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This helps keep the display consistent. puts() is used when printing the prompt, so is a useful way to make sure the current display contents is visible.

* video: Provide a backspace methodSimon Glass2016-01-301-1/+11
| | | | | | | | With proportional fonts the vidconsole uclass cannot itself erase the previous character. Provide an optional method so that the driver can handle this operation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* video: Provide a signal when a new console line is startedSimon Glass2016-01-301-0/+14
| | | | | | | When we start a new line (due to the user pressing return), signal this to the driver so that it can flush its buffer of character positions. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* video: Provide a left margin for the text consoleSimon Glass2016-01-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | Allow the left margin to be set so that text does not have to be right up against the left side. On some panels this makes it hard to read. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* video: Handle the 'bell' characterSimon Glass2016-01-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | This can be sent when to many characters are entered. Make sure it is ignored and does not cause a character to be displayed. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* video: Use fractional units for X coordinatesSimon Glass2016-01-301-24/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With anti-aliased fonts we need a more fine-grained horizontal position than a single pixel. Characters can be positioned to start part-way through a pixel, with anti-aliasing (greyscale edges) taking care of the visual effect. To cope with this, use fractional units (1/256 pixel) for horizontal positions in the text console.

* video: Name consoles by their numberSimon Glass2016-01-211-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | We must use the console name in the 'stdout' variable to select the one we want. At present the name is formed from the driver name with a suffix indicating the rotation value. It seems better to name them sequentially since this can be controlled by driver order. So adjust the code to use 'vidconsole' for the first, 'vidconsole1' for the second, etc. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* dm: video: Add a uclass for the text consoleSimon Glass2016-01-201-0/+239
The existing LCD/video interface suffers from conflating the bitmap display with text output on that display. As a result the implementation is more complex than it needs to me. We can support multiple text console drivers. Create a separate uclass to support this, with its own API. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Acked-by: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de>
