How can I use VGA port of C6A8168 for display?

Hi, everyone

   I am a beginner of C6A8168.

   I want to use the VGA port as the display interface, but I don't know how to make the settings.

   I read the VPSS user guide in EZSDK.

   HDMI port is using /dev/fb0,

   I think VGA port and Component port are using /dev/fb1 for display , because they are using the same RGB pin in the circuit.

  This file is a sample in ezsdk to show color bar on screen. 

  1680.saFbdevDisplay.zip   

  I try to run it on Arm, it worked and color bar showed on HDMI screen.

 In document Vpss user guide, it said,

  fb1 -- => graphics1 - - => hdcomp

  so, I changed the device name "/dev/fb0" into "/dev/fb1"

  no image output to my screen.

 

  I checked the setting of hdcomp, it is same with default values.

 Then I think maybe there is no memory for fb1 in TI81xxfb moudle,

 but there is no insmod or modprobe command in the linux image. 

 

 Should I make a new linux image for this problem? or any other method to fix this problem?

 

 I also found in this URL

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DM816x_C6A816x_AM389x_PSP_04.00.00.10_Feature_Performance_Guide#Features_Not_Supports

 It said that "EVM VGA output is not supported" in Features not supports part.

 Is that mean I cannot use VGA port on C6A8168?

 

 Waiting for your answers.

 

yours,
