Hello, Thanks for agreeing to mentor! I'm in the background research phase and have read the framebuffer manual in the docs and have seen the implementation in the RPi. I couldn't find a lot of information of the FB for Beaglebone Black, I'm currently looking at the code in Beagleboard/linux repo. Are there any suggested readings that will help me get a better understanding of the implementation? Also, it would be nice to have someone hint on the _workflow_ of writing the framebuffer driver for a BSP.
