92 The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).
94 It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
95 Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
96 turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.
98 You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
99 Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.
101 Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
102 which is the best option for most uses.
