S-Video on BeagleBoard-xM running ICS



Hello,

I am trying to use the S-Video output on the BB-xM with ICS 4.0.3.

I set all the boot parameters in boot.scr, have the video activated but no clear image on it. I tried also usign adb commands by switching the overlay and display from HDMI to SVideo. I can switch the S-Video on and off but the image is not there. Any help to sort this out?

Thank you,

Regards,

Enrico

  • Hi Enrico,

    1. Are  you not getting image or are your getting blurred image screen ?

    2. is DVI port working fine ?

    3. Check the screen shot using DDMS , if it works fine then could be issue with mode switch

    BR,

  • Hi Enrico & Satish,

    Enrico:

    Did you update the configs file to compile with CONFIG_FB_OMAP2_FBS=2 ?

    Do you have the same problem if you set DVI resolution at 640x480 or 720x480 ?

    Enrico & Satish: Under TI's 4.0.3 pre-built binaries I am able to switch between S-Video and DVI as well as run S-Video and DVI simultaneously.

    A. I had to recompile with CONFIG_FB_OMAP2_FBS=2.

    B. This works if the 2 ports have the same resolution and scaling isn't needed. Since S-Video resolution is limited, I'm stuck with the same resolution for DVI.

    I encountered the second limitation search through the forum but, now can't locate the thread.

    Regards,

    Mik
