Hi, no lies...that is my understanding of things as well ;-) u-boot sets the 'videostd' environment variable to PAL or NTSC depending on the switch. You just have to make sure that this variable is used in the command line. This allows the switch to control PAL/NTSC selection of output device (says nothing about the camera). There is nothing stopping you hard coding 'pal' or 'ntsc' for yourself and if you do then you can remove the 'run setboot' stuff & hard code 'bootargs', which I suppose make it easier to follow. (The 'run setboot' trick is only there to expand the $videostd variable) The output of 'cat /proc/cmdline' would help as we can see exactly what was set.

DM355 EVM demo works fine with PAL, we have two of them here and only use PAL. The stuff about setting up PAL mode is towards the back of the getting started guide, u-boot environment variables and the board jumper. It was a while ago now but we followed the instructions more or less (I seem to remember typos or cut+paste errors) and it works fine. I think it's important to set the jumper as that sets the value of an environment variable that is checked by software. maybe. Or maybe I'm lying. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Quiney Sent: 20 June 2008 13:37 To: Nadeem Mulla; davinci Subject: RE: DM355: PAL camera connected but NTSC selected. Hi, I am wondering if it is a limitation of the demo program? Perhaps you could study the demo source code - the camera is being detected as PAL (which is good) - so why/where does 'NTSC selected' come from? There doesn't appear to be a command option to select PAL (according to the Getting Started Guide). Might be worth checking the -h output from the command to see if the option list has added a suitable switch for this since the documentation was written.

Hi, Thanks for reply. after changing the command linr to dm64xxfb:output=pal, the same error message is displaying. Encodedecode Error: PAL camera connected but NTSC selected. Please suggest any solution. Nadeem Phil Quiney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi You cmd line is wrong - it should be dm64xxfb:output=pal as the DM355 kernel is using the DM644x frame buffer driver. The default is NTSC and the kernel is not seeing your PAL setting since you are applying it to a non existant module Regards Phil Q Phil Quiney, Senior Software Engineer Trinity Convergence Cambridge Business Park Cowley Road Cambridge CB4 0WZ, UK T: +44(0)1223-435536 F: +44(0)1223-435560 www.trinityconvergence.com <http://www.trinityconvergence.com/> ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nadeem Mulla Sent: 20 June 2008 12:11 To: davinci Subject: DM355: PAL camera connected but NTSC selected. Hi, I am working on DM355 EVM board. I am running the demos from command line. After executing the ./encodedecode command an error message is genrated as, Encodedecode Error: PAL camera connected but NTSC selected. I am booting with the following env: setenv bootcmd 'setenv setboot setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 \ noinitrd rw ip=132.147.160.175 root=/dev/nfs \ nfsroot=132.147.160.142:/home/nad/workdir/filesys,nolock mem=116M \ video=dm355fb:output=pal;run setboot;nboot \ 0x80700000 0 0x400000;bootm' Please suggest the solution as soon as possible.
