AM3517 Resize function

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517, AM3505

Hi.
Regarding the Resize function of AM3517,
my customer tried to resize and get the following results.

I would like to know there is any limitation to a small size, or not?

[Evaluation status]
-EVM: TI AM3517EVM
-EZSDK: Linux v5.03.02
-Input image(Fixed): 720x480
-Output image Resize results

  • The resize factor is limited to 1/4, basically if you try to set your horizontal resolution below 480/4 (120) it could cause the error. Please refer the TRM for additional details.

  • Hi. Thank you for your reply.
    I could understand the NG case in resize: 186x"124" on LCD display.
    It is related by "Functional Clock Frequency Requirement" on TRM: page-1272.

  • Dear Punya Prakash,

       I am also facing same problem in am3517evm. Rotation and resize issue. i am able to rotate my display 180 degrees but not 90 or 270 degrees

    with this command   echo "1" > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate. when i try to rotate 90 degrees following is the error on debug port----

  • Hi, Rajeev.
    I am facing a similar issue for AM3517EVM: Rotation and resize issue.
    I have posted here.
    http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/sitara_arm174_microprocessors/f/416/t/180397.aspx

    Could you please add your case?

    Regards,

  • Dear Kanae,

            I had posted about Display Rotation and Resize issue in the link  u have posted..

    Regards

    Rajeev.

  • Dear Rajeev,

    Thank you!
    I hope anybody can help us.

  • Can you try with the sample application attached here with this post?

    Syntax to run this application is,

    ./saFbdevRotation -d /dev/fb0 -r <0, 90, 180, 270>

    Thanks,

    Vaibhav

  • Hi Vaibhav,

       In a month or so i got first response thanks for that. when i tried to cross compile it showed error linux/omapfb.h no such file or directory

       I had tested your saFbdevRotation application its showing colour stripes in all angles ( 0, 90 180 and 270 degrees)

    all the stripes are same from top while, black, red, green and so on...

    Following is for your reference

    As you see i had passed 18 BPP and its showing 16 BPP when i run application

    what is the problem pleas go through my other post in following link

    Thanks vaibhav,

  • Hi Rajeev,

    Let me try to response all your questions and issues one-by-one,,

    In a month or so i got first response thanks for that. when i tried to cross compile it showed error linux/omapfb.h no such file or directory

    [Vaibhav] I really apologize here, we try to respond as many posts as possible and sometimes due to all known and unknown reasons some posts stay unattended.

    As far as cross-compile issue is concerned, you have to set the kernel include path for building it. Thats the way all application MUST need built.

    all the stripes are same from top while, black, red, green and so on...

    [Vaibhav] This is expected and application draws 8 color bars of different colors on Display.

    root@devkit:~# ./saFbdevRotation -d /dev/fb0 90       FOR 90 DEGREE ROTATION

    [Vaibhav] You have missed to specify "-r" option here before specifying rotation degree. Look at the logs, the rotation doesn't change at all, it always stays at degree 0.

    As you see i had passed 18 BPP and its showing 16 BPP when i run application

    [Vaibhav] I need come more details here, like, /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/timings?

    I believe you are also passing "omapfb.rotate=0 omapfb.vrfb=y" in your bootargs from uboot, right? Also, please refer to the PSP user guide, which actually explains all above information in detail - http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/UserGuideDisplayDrivers_PSP_04.02.00.07

    Thanks,

    Vaibhav

  • Hi Vaibhav,

    Thanks Vaibhav, I had tested saFbdevRotation with -r yes according to application its getting rotated to 90, 180, 270 without any error.

    but why  this "echo "1" > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate" command is getting fb_set_par error -22

    when i execute the application, stripes gets displayed in portrait mode and then changes to landscape mode i.e 90 degree rotation. again back to portrait mode.

    but after exiting the application its coming back to normal position. What i need is when i boot up directly my application should work in landscape mode.

    and other problem is about colour stripes. Below is the image of the display with stripes.

    As I still get 16 bits per pixel, i think due to this 16bits per pixel i am getting colour stripes issue in my display.

    [Vaibhav] I need come more details here, like, /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/timings?

    root@devkit:/# cat sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/timings

    endmode


    I believe you are also passing "omapfb.rotate=0 omapfb.vrfb=y" in your bootargs from uboot, right?
       
    [Rajeev] Actually NO, Bootargs which i passed in u-boot are as follows
                 video_mode=omapdss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.vram=0:4M,1:4M,2:4M vram=12M tnlcd.tnlcd_data=8000,240,10,50,10,320,4,3,2,18,18


     When I passed following u-boot arguments omapfb.rotate=0 (or 1,2,3)
              video_mode=omapdss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.vram=0:4M,1:4M,2:4M vram=12M omapfb.rotate=0 omapfb.vrfb=y tnlcd.tnlcd_data=8000,240,10,50,10,320,4,3,2,18,18
      Display is blank and following are kernel debug messages which displays frame-buffer cannot fit into memory and as in debug physical address has some value where as virtual address is null. I think there lies the problem
        

         In Function dss_ovl_set_overlay_info
          max frame size 4194304, line size 480
         cannot fit FB to memory

        offset0 0, offset1 0, row_inc 3617, pix_inc 1

    As you said i am going through the link you provided. i will test an cases related and inform you.

    Thanks Vaibhav,

  • Hi Vaibhav,

    what is the problem. Is there any patch for this error.

    Thanks,

    Rajeev.

  • Although these hooks are provided in the driver, it is always recommended to use standard interfaces; it will make sure that all dependent components have been configured properly. I would suggest to either fbdev PUTVSCREEN_INFO ioctl OR use "fbset" utility to change fbdev resolution.

    Please refer to the application, it will explain you how to use and configure display when you change rotation.

    Thanks,

    Vaibhav

  • Hi Vaibhav,

    We are also facing same issue while rotating the dispaly 90 & 270 degree. we are using PSP 04.02.00.7 with am3505 soc.
    Please suggest.

    Thanks,
    Devang.
