3.12 Front Panel LCD Display Setup
Figure 61: Front Panel LCD Display

The Ultrastar Transporter’s handle has an integrated 4-Line, 6-Button LCD display module. The primary function of the module is to power up/down/reset the system and enable user interaction with the system.
It has two interfaces: an I2C interface that communicates with the unit’s fan control module, and a USB interface that connects to a USB port on the motherboard. In Ubuntu Linux, the display module is typically enumerated as /dev/ttyACM0.

Reference documentation, open source files, and example code for the Front Panel LCD module can be found at the following locations:

• Download files – https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfa835tfk-display-graphic-lcd-244×68 Navigate to the File and Downloadssection.
• Custom firmware examples – https://github.com/crystalfontz/CFA10052-Custom-Firmware-Example
• Code examples – https://github.com/crystalfontz/cfa_linux_examples
• CFA835 Datasheet – https://www.crystalfontz.com/products/document/4716/CFA835_Datasheet_083122.pdf

Note: By default, normal Linux users do not have access to open serial devices for read/write access. One solution is to run lcd communication code as sudo. However, for best security practice, the user should be added to the dialout group. All users in the dialout group have open/read/write access to serial devices without using the sudo command. This can be done by executing the following command:

$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout [username]

Where [username] should be replaced with the user who should have dialout access. Log off and back onto the system. Serial devices should now be accessible to userland code for the user you just added to dialout.

3.12.1 Power Up/Down

The Ultrastar Transporter is powered up, powered down, and reset via the Green Check and Red X buttons on the LCD module. The functionality of the buttons is programmed during manufacturing, and will override any functionality the buttons may have in your LCD control program.
Note: System Power Up, Power Down, and Reset are all activated with a long- press with the following timing:

Table 20: Button Timing

Important:
It is critical that the LCD display’s I/O configuration is configured properly to enable these ATX power control signals. If the LCD module gets corrupted, symptoms may include not powering up, powering down, or resetting properly.

The LCD module can be returned to its proper state over the USB communication path by opening a handle to the device and issuing an ATX_FUNCTIONALITY (0x1C) command. See CFA835 datasheet for details on this command. See the following image for an example code snippet that properly configures ATX functionality.

Figure 62: ATX Power Up/Down/Reset Code Example

To ensure this configuration change persists across LCD module resets, save the current LCD state to its non-volatile memory. Upon next reset of the LCD module, the following settings will be restored.

Figure 63: Restored Settings

3.12.2 I2C Interface
The system’s fan control module communicates directly with the LCD module over an I2C interface. The fan control module has direct control over LEDs #1 and

2 (see: Front LED Locations (page 6) ) to relay power and fault status

information to the user. LEDs #3 and #4 are user-controlled via the USB interface.
Important: It is critical that the display’s I2C address is 0x44 so that the fan control module can communicate with the LCD module properly. This address is programmed during manufacturing and should never change. If the address does get corrupted, symptoms may include errant power/fault status LED operation, and lack of Western Digital logo displaying on the LCD module during boot.

The I2C address can be updated over the USB port by opening a handle to the device and issuing a PCMD2_CONFIGURE_INTERFACE command including 0x44 as the I2C address.
See the CFA835 Datasheet for details on this command. See the following image for an example code snippet that properly configures the I2C address for the CFA835.

Figure 64: Configuring LCD Module I2C Address

To ensure this configuration change persists across LCD module resets, save the current LCD state to its non-volatile memory. Upon next reset of the LCD module, the following settings will be restored.

Figure 65: Restored Settings

3.12.3 USB Interface
The remaining two user-controlled LEDs (#3 and #4), and all display functionality including pixel state and key press detection can be controlled via a userland program. Display functionality includes but is not limited to:

• Powering up/down the system (the LCD module is configured for this during manufacture)
• Clearing the display
• Place text at a given (x ,y) cell location
• Turn on/off user-controlled LEDs
• Detect key presses

Below is an example code snippet to write a character string at a given (x, y) cell location on the LCD module.
