Vidya, I was under assumption that you want to run DirectFB package (http://www.directfb.org) on DM6437 and that's why I suggested to look for Virtual Logix Linux offering for DM6437 device.
DirectFB (http://www.directfb.org) is a __LINUX__ graphics standard package and was developed on the top of framebuffer driver. As DM6446 device runs on Linux OS, it's easy to run DirectFB API's on DM6446. If you are looking a way to run DirectFB API's from http://www.directfb.org on DM6437 then first you need to run Linux OS on your DM6437.

So actually in the new system, there is no VGA involved. The existing system uses DirectFb in order to support the graphics part. This aspect needs to be retained when shifting to DSP 6437. When I searched for a frame buffer driver for DM6437, I hit upon DSP 6446 frame buffer driver at the directFB site. So my question is, has anybody as such, developed a 6437 frame buffer driver ? The difference, I see here is that 6446 is controlled by ARM controller, where as 6437 does not have this instead it has the PCI bus support.

We provide and support DSP-BIOS based driver for DM6437 device. You can download the DM6437 software from www.ti.com/dvevmupdates Have you ported Linux on this device? FYI, One of our third party (virtual logix) offers Linux package for DM6437.
