I know I've seen some resolution numbers in the quartus files so I assumed this was using part of the FPGA to do a framebuffer or something and it was actually part of the Quartus project. I thought the BBB actually had a GPU unlike the nano. I'll definitely try it when I get a chance, the 800x480 monitor looks like trash, even being small.....hoping to pick up and get this going on a 1024x600 version.
I believe the de10-nano image here is the one I used https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1THXnrnt-v7iNownBqmdOQrJ-i8EVAsSZ On Monday, February 17, 2020 at 5:34:07 PM UTC-5, Charles Steinkuehler wrote: > > I don't currently have a DE10-Nano running, but I reviewed the code and > it looks like you should be able to set the resolution the same as you > would for any other embedded display (by passing some kernel > parameters).
