Hi, I'm new to DirectFB and need some high-level pointers in the right direction how to add DirectFB support to an embedded system that working on. I'm adding a custom FPGA via PCIe that provides a simplistic graphical overlay functionality. Nothing fancy such as HW acceleration, just a framebuffer, anything that goes into that memory is displayed.
I have got a custom kernel module that allows access to the framebuffer memory via a kernel bounce buffer that can be mmap'd from user space. The FPGA also handles numerous other things... How do support my custom HW from DirectFB? So, should I: 1) make my driver appear as a "standard" Linux framebuffer device driver? 2) make a custom DirectFB gfxdriver for my custom Linux kernel driver? Are both approaches viable? Is at simple as (1) if I have a "standardized" framebuffer device driver I can go ahead using DirectFB without any modifications? And if I already have a working driver (2) I basically only need to a add a thin gfxdriver that maps in my custom driver? What is the recommended way of doing it? Many thanks, Jonas _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list directfb-dev@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
