Olinuxino MAXI + LCD 4.3"

[oldpenguin]

Hello

I would like to connect an Olinuxino MAXI to an A13-LCD43 display.
I know its been done, but there is no information available.
Is it possible to have a schematic of the proper connections from the GPIO connector to the LCD ?
What modifications are necessary at the kernel level ?
Thanks

Claude Schwartz did this interface even ported MAME, SNES emulators but at the moment he changed jobs and he didn't provide all details how he did this, hopefully he will do this soon, so I can blog it.

I just received 5 iMX233-MAXI's and the LCD4.3 modules.  I also need to accomplish the same task, by Feb. 13th!  If anyone has clues to get it working, I would be very grateful.

EDIT: I actually have 5x MOD-LCD4.3 screens, not the A13-LCD4.3.

Thanks,

A possible hardware connection could be:
(RGB assigment to LCD_Dxx pins assuming example of reference manual pag 955:
16bit color resolution,D15:D11<=>R[4:0], D10:D5<=>G[5:0],D4:D0<=>B[4:0])

PIN22 / LCD_EN / I2C_SCL   ←→   32   LCD_DE
PIN19 / LCD_DOTCLK   ←→   31   LCD_CLK
GND         ←→   4   GND

There are some concerns though:
1) Does 5V supply enough current to power the LCD ?
2) The remaining LCD color pins should be left floating or tied to some logic level ?
3) What should be done with the LCD_BLK pin ? Leave floating or tie to some logic level ?
4) LCD_PWRE should be tied to 5V
5) LCD_DATA[3:0] pins on the olinuxino are in some way tied to logic level (pull-up and/or pull-down) Does this have any influence in the display operation ?

Still no clue about the software/kernel settings.
