Hello all,
currently I am having quite a trouble to get my system working - the
board is Intel DN2800MT, with an n2800 dualcore Atom (Cedar View) -
which got that crappy PowerVR SGX 545 graphics.
Currently, there is no driver for it for 64bit windows and the driver
for Linux is a binary only thing which links to an old xorg and old
kernel (3.0 or 3.1).
There is same problem with the older generation of Atoms (Poulsbo) as
they have also this 3rd party graphics core and comes with no support.
I was thinking - would it be possible to put together a simple
graphics card based on Opengraphics, with the following parameters:
- PCIe 1x
- single DP/HDMI/LVDS output
- form factor to match a full mini pcie card (50mm)
If I picked up correctly, there is a drive for embedded targets.. so
this could be interesting.
From the hardware point, it should be enough to use a single FPGA
with a single (or dual) ddr3 memories (that makes 12.8 or 25.6 gbit/s)
which is quite enough for filling it over pcie (2.5Gb) and reading to DP.
For the start, a simple 2D framebuffer with region copy acceleration
would be sufficient..
What does the masses say to that?
I can manage to make the hardware, is there somebody who can make the
fpga core and somebody to write drivers for it?
Daniel
