3. WIRING
---------

The cfag12864b LCD Series don't have official wiring.

The common wiring is done to the parallel port as shown:

4. USERSPACE PROGRAMMING
------------------------

The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).

It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.

You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.

Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
which is the best option for most uses.

Check Documentation/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c
for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples.
