Beagleboard GUI

Which is good library for Beagleboard to display images from frame buffer?  Is there any simple example which shows such image/video on Beagleboard?

  • It would depend on the OS you are running and the type of images you want to display.  For linux, you can configure the V4L2 driver to display video frames or the fbdev driver to display graphics.  This document explains how to configure the DSS2 to display graphics and/or video under Linux.

  • Actually i am running the example from book, "OMAP & DaVinci software for Dummies" given at Page 95, but i am getting following errors?

    root@beagleboard:~/dvsdk_demos# ./decode -v davincieffect_ntsc_1.m4v
    Decode demo started.
    sh: can't create /sys/devices/platform/omapfb/overlays: nonexistent directory
    Error: Failed to execute: echo gfx e:0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapfb/overlays
