1 to huahua5:
Can you give me the detail of "modify the framebuffer driver to support 
run-time switch between NTSC and PAL."?

2 to all
i have tried to modify the bootargs following by what Karicheri said but it did 
not work? what's wrong?

  you can resolve this problem as followed:

  1,DM355 board has a switch used for PAL & NTSC option.u-boot will check the 
switch and transfer it to framebuffer driver.it is ugly.
  2,modify the framebuffer driver to support run-time switch between NTSC and 
PAL.

  I have try 2,but when I switch from NTSC to PAL,it will make the dsplinkk 
module oops.switch from PAL to NTSC is ok.anyone has comments?

  in a word, the display mode depend on the camera mode,and only the display 
mode can be changed by software,the camera mode is decided by your hardware.

  主题: RE: PAL and NTSC problem on dm355

  I missed one information. Did you set the bootargs correctly ? The jumper 
setting is read by the bootloader and is updated in the videostd environment 
variable. Now for the driver to use this variable, bootargs need to have the 
following settings.

   

  video=dm355fb:output=\$(videostd)

   

  Now based on Jumper settings, following will be passed to kernel (and to 
driver)

   

  video=dm355fb:output=pal or video=dm355fb:output=ntsc depending on the jumper 
settings

  It means, the linux driver is detecting it as PAL, but application is trying 
to select a NTSC camera. Check the demo code to see why it is selecting a NTSC 
camera and fix it.

  Hi,

   

  what problem i mentioned is that when i connect the pal camera to the evm and 
run the encode or encodedecode demo supplied by the DVSDK, it said:

   

  PAL camera connect but NTSC camera selected.

   

  it did not work though i have set the J1 to select the pal camera.

   

  what 's wrong with it ?

   

  can you say more?

   

  Regards

   

  Jammy

    Hi,

    TVP5146 has autodetect feature. To turn it on, you need to invoke a S_STD 
ioctl to the V4L2 capture driver (choose TVP5146 as the capture driver in 
bootargs) which will detect PAL standard if you feed a PAL source output to the 
composite/S-video input of the tvp. Hope this helps.

    Hi,

     

    The framebuffer driver should support PAL output (but I don't have hardware 
to verify it). Could you elaborate on the problem you have?

     

    Do you mean programming the video capture driver to capture on PAL? The 
video capture driver works over raw YUV data received on digital format from 
the video codec used on the DM355 EVM (TVP5146), so its the TVP how is 
responsible to encode from PAL signal, so is probably a matter of performing an 
ioctl over the video driver to ask the driver to signal the CODEC the PAL 
format over the i2c.

     

    Let me know if this is what you are looking for, I'm not at my desktop 
right now so I can't grep on the files.

    Hi,all

     

    I am developing the dm355 evm, and as u knows, the dm355 evm does not 
support pal camera, how should we do for supporting the pal standard.

     

    can u give me some advice?

     

    thanks
