Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TFP401, TFP410

Hi,

We are wanting to design in a TFP401 (or similar) to take HDMI video from a computer running linux to parallel display.

I'm trying to figure out a way to display a logo or splash screen while Linux boots.  any ideas or even different components that will work for this?  any other ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Wes

    Hello,
    Seems like you need assistance with the firmware/software, the TFP410 is just a de-serializer, it will take anything and convert it to parallel as long as you provide it with a clock and voltage.
    You still have to meet the TMDS protocol in order for the TFP410 to work properly.
    I recommend you to go to the Linux community.
    Regards

    Ok. thank you for the reply! I was think along the lines if there was a way to interface to external memory or a different version of the chip where it has some internal flash to hold a small .bmp? of course that would require the chip to have a small embedded processor of some sort...
    wishful thinking I guess...
