Hi,

Please refer http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/StarterWare_Graphics#pnmtoc_Tool. Don't use "-f" option if your LCD is non 24bpp.

Hi,

StarterWare graphics lib is ported from StellarisWare graphics lib. But Stellaris lib may not work for AM335x beaglebone because stellaris lib supports 1,4,8 bpp only.

As far as i know beaglebone LCD is 16bpp. We have added support for 16bpp and 24bpp when the lib is ported to StarterWare.

Maybe you have a wrong , beceause Starterware have supports for AM335x EVM and EVM SK , As My research EVM and EVM SK schematic , All LCD for those board use 24bpp . Is My research right?

Hi,

EVM and EVM-SK uses 24bpp. Beaglebone LCD7 cape and LCD3 cape uses 16bpp.

Hi do minh quoc,

Are you able to solve the problem. I am also trying to port the Beaglebone LCD7 and I am also facing the same problem.

I have used the rasterDisplay sample project from evmAM335x and ported according to the changes in the linux. However I see no display. I dont know if problem was because of porting or because of the 24bpp image. I am using the same evmAM335x image header file, i haven't converted the image. I think it is 24bpp. I have also posted this issue on LCD7 in this forum. Please see the below thread

Thanks for you help in advance

Thanks
