This repository contains firmware images for the Silead touchscreen controllers in various tablet (and other) devices.
There is also a number of conversion tools here that help with extraction and preparation of firmware images.
The firmware files were extracted from Android and Windows device drivers, as published by device manufacturers. They are intended for people who prefer to replace the shipped operating system with a generic Linux distribution such as Debian or Ubuntu.
The files may be covered by proprietary licenses or copyright. Please consult the manufacturer's website or device documentation for more information.
In contrast, everything in the tools directory is published under the GNU General Public license v2, as laid out in tools/LICENSE. See tools/AUTHORS.md for copyright information.
To request new firmware to be added to the list, please send a pull request with the following structure:

The original Windows or Android drivers or firmware files
(SileadTouch.sys, SileadTouch.fw, gslx68x_ts.ko, ...)firmware/<manufacturer>/<device>/README.md
A readme containing all (known) device information plus
download links to the original Windows/Android driver or
firmware. See firmware/README.md.template
for an example with explanations.firmware/<manufacturer>/<device>/silead.fw
(optional) The extracted firmware, as created by fw_extractor,
untscfg, unscramble or scanwindrv. (see below)firmware/linux/gsl1680-<manufacturer>-<device>.fw
(optional) The same file as silead.fw, for use with the silead.ko driver
that is part of the Linux kernel. (see below)firmware/<manufacturer>/<device>/silead_ts.fw
(optional) Firmware created by fwtool using correct parameters. (see below)
For use with the alternative gslx680_ts_acpi driver.README.md
A patch to this readme file that adds an entry to the device list.The "Tested" field should only be "Yes" if you have confirmed that the converted firmware works with silead_ts.ko or gslx680_ts_acpi.ko and the touchscreen responds properly, i.e. the device parameters are good.
Original vendor firmware comes in various formats, depending on the operating system and driver version.
The official Android driver can be found under this path (or similar):
/system/vendor/modules/gslx680.ko
Copy this file to an SD card, use a file transfer utility, or use adb pull.
On your build machine, use the script 'firmware/fw_extractor' from the command line to extract the firmware from the driver:
tools/fw_extractor my_android_gslx680.ko
The Android driver may well contain multiple firmwares to support different hardware configurations with the same driver. The extractor will spit those out as seperate files. We currently have no way of knowing which is right for your device. You will have to try each. Sometimes, the file names will give a clue, like panel size, product name, resolution or chip name. Test the matching ones first.
If you have a Windows driver instead, the firmware either comes in the form of a file named GSL_TS_CFG.h (or similar) or SileadTouch.fw. The latter is just a scrambled version of GSL_TS_CFG.h and can be easily restored by XORing every byte with 0x88.
To convert GSL_TS_CFG.h to binary, use:
tools/untscfg GSL_TS_CFG.h firmware.fw
For a scrambled SileadTouch.fw, use:
tools/unscramble SileadTouch.fw firmware.fw
If your vendor only supplied a Windows driver and no separate firmware, you can still extract the firmware blob that is contained inside.
Use the scanwindrv script to extract it:
tools/scanwindrv SileadTouch.sys
As with the Android driver, this may produce multiple firmware files named firmware_00.fw, firmware_01.fw, etc. - you have to test them to find the correct one for your device.
There are currently two open-source drivers available for Silead chips: silead_ts and gslx680_ts_acpi.
silead_ts ships with the Linux kernel since version 4.8 and is the recommended driver. gslx680_ts_acpi can still be useful for initial testing or if silead_ts does not work for you.
When Silead touchscreen support was added to ACPI (PC) platforms, the integrator did not anticipate any uses cases outside the device vendor's ecosystems. For this reason, it is required to pass additional device parameters to the driver that are neither contained in the firmware nor in the ACPI DSDT. silead_ts handles this in the kernel, using an ACPI override/quirk table, while gslx680_ts_acpi expects firmware in a different format that contains this information.
Since silead_ts requires a kernel modification (and thus a reboot or kexec) whenever parameters are changed, testing is easier with gslx680_ts_acpi. There, parameters can be changed in the firmware, then updated by unloading and reloading the kernel module.
After the device parameters are known, you should add support to silead_ts and submit a kernel patch to the linux-input mailing list.
First, decide on a unique name for the firmware. The recommended format is:
gsl<chip name>-<manufacturer>-<device>.fw
If you don't know the chip name, use gsl1680. Manufacturer and device name
should be shortened to make the name readable, but still sufficiently unique.
Fetch the current Linux source code and open drivers/platform/x86/silead_dmi.c
in a text editor. Since Linux kernel 4.19, this file is called
drivers/platform/x86/touchscreen_dmi.c.
Supposing you named your firmware gsl1680-mycompany-mytablet.fw and the
touchscreen has a resolution of 128x128 points, add a new section to the file:
static const struct property_entry mycompany_mytablet_props[] = {
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("touchscreen-size-x", 128),
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("touchscreen-size-y", 128),
PROPERTY_ENTRY_STRING("firmware-name", "gsl1680-mycompany_mytablet.fw"),
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("silead,max-fingers", 10),
{ }
};
static const struct silead_ts_dmi_data mycompany_mytablet_data = {
.acpi_name = "MSSL1680:00",
.properties = mycompany_mytablet_props,
};
In some rare cases, the acpi_name may be different.
Further below, there is a list named silead_ts_dmi_table:
static const struct dmi_system_id silead_ts_dmi_table[] = {
Add a new entry to this list:
{
/* Teclast X3 Plus */
.driver_data = (void *)&mycompany_mytablet_data,
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "MyCompany"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "MyTablet"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "Generic Board"),
},
},
The exact values and suitable matching tags depend on the particular device.
You can find them with the help of dmidecode.
Look for the section called "System Information".
See here for an example patch.
After adding the override tables, you have to recompile your kernel,
as the DMI overrides are outside the context of the driver. Install and reboot.
You may also try reloading the kernel using kexec, but this can lead to an
unstable system and is not recommended.
The gslx680-acpi driver requires firmware in a special compact format.
Use firmware/fwtool to convert regular firmware into this format. The tool will also store device parameters (such as such as panel width and height, tracking support, etc.) inside the firmware.
The file format is described in 'firmware/Firmware/Silead.pm'. Use perldoc or a text editor to read.
Example usage:
tools/fwtool -c firmware.fw -m 1680 -w 940 -h 750 -t 10 silead_ts.fw
This will read legacy firmware.fw, convert it into silead_ts.fw in the new format, then set the controller type to GSL1680, the panel width to 940 dots, the height to 750 dots and the maximum number of touch points to 10. The README for each firmware should give you information on the information to put there.
It is also possible to convert the scrambled SileadTouch.fw from a Windows driver directly:
tools/fwtool -c SileadTouch.fw -3 -m 1680 -w 940 -h 750 -t 10 silead_ts.fw
And for an unscrambled GSL_TS_CFG.h, use:
tools/fwtool -c TS_CFG.h -2 -m 1680 -w 940 -h 750 -t 10 silead_ts.fw
You might still need to calibrate the touchscreen later, if the numbers are unknown or not accurate. Note that the maximum width and height are 4095. The driver is currently hardcoded to a touch point limit of 10 fingers, so specifying more than that will not work.
If your touchscreen controller does not support finger tracking (this is crucial for proper mouse emulation) or axes seem to be mirrored or swapped, you can modify the firmware to enable corresponding features in the driver.
For example, this enables software finger tracking and mirrors the horizontal axis:
tools/fwtool -s -f track,xflip silead_ts.fw
The -f option may also be specified directly when converting a firmware image.
The resulting firmware should be named silead_ts.fw and installed into /lib/firmware so the driver can find it.
To convert a firmware image back into legacy format, use:
tools/fwtool -x gslxxxx.fw silead_ts.fw
Note that memory page order is not preserved. This should not pose a problem for the controller, however.
