Hi,

 

Thank you. So what can be done for displays, Like we had in DM6446,
video window, OSD window and Attribute window. 

What should be done to run the demo available with EVM kit?

 

Regards,

Naveena

Hi,

 

As far as i know, dm6467 does not support FBDEV driver. It has only
video pipelines so it supports only V4L2 drivers. You will find
/dev/video0 to /dev/video3 for the V4L2 devices.

 

Thanks,

Brijesh Jadav

Hi,

 

Can you check the output of /proc/devices, there should be a 'fb'
character device (major 29). This corresponds to the /dev/fb/0 device
(maj 29, minor 0) on my system (a DM355). This indicates that the kernel
has the framebuffer driver built in. If this does not appear then, it
has either been built as a module or not at all.

 

You should also be able to check the kernel configuration has DAVINCI_FB
set - extract it from the running kernel to remove any mistakes about
how the current kernel  is configured....

 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# zcat /proc/config.gz |grep FB
CONFIG_FB=y
# CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is not set
CONFIG_FB_DAVINCI=y
# CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set

Check boot arguments....

 

Kernel boot arguments (on 1 line so be wary of linewrap)

mem=100M console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd root=/dev/nfs rw
nfsroot=172.18.0.13:/t
ftpboot/remote_fs/davinci_dm355 ip=dhcp
video=davincifb:vid0=720x480x16,4050K:vi
d1=720x480x16,4050K:osd0=720x480x16,2025K davinci_enc_mngr.ch0_mode=ntsc
davinci
_enc_mngr.ch0_output=COMPOSITE

Also during bootup I get the following framebuffer related items...

 

davincifb davincifb.0: dm_osd0_fb: [EMAIL PROTECTED],0 with framebuffer size
2025KB
davincifb davincifb.0: dm_vid0_fb: [EMAIL PROTECTED],0 with framebuffer size
4050KB
davincifb davincifb.0: dm_osd1_fb: [EMAIL PROTECTED],0 with framebuffer size
1350KB
davincifb davincifb.0: dm_vid1_fb: [EMAIL PROTECTED],0 with framebuffer size
4050KB

 

Confirm 'udev' is running....you should see (during boot up)

INIT: version 2.85 booting
Mounting a tmpfs over /dev...done.
Creating initial device nodes...done.

 

Also 'udevd' should appear in a 'ps aux' once logged in. It is possible
that the device node has not been created because udev is not running.

Hi,

            There is no device like /dev/fb/0 or /dev/fb/0. We tested
the demos available with the DM6446 kit, it was working. It was also
dealing with frame buffers. 

Is it sure that there is frame buffer support in DM6467? Has anybody
worked with it? We are trying to do OSD on it.

 

 

Regards,

Naveena.

Hi,

 

The davinci boards should have /dev/fb/0 rather than /dev/fb/0 - this is
true for DM355 & DM6446. I do not have a DM6467 to check against but I
would guess it is the same.

Hi,

            We got encode and decode application with DM6467 EVM kit.
But the composite video output is not working as we followed the
instructions.

In the application, we are opening /dev/fb0 (frame buffer) device. But
/dev/fbx is not there in the root file system. First we used the uImage
in the hard disk. Then we built a new kernel after ensuring framebuffer
console, VDCE driver are enabled( by make menucofig). With this kernel
also, we didn't get the frame buffer node.

Can anybody tell what may be the issue? And also provide a solution ? or
how to proceed?

 

Regards,

Naveena
