OMAP LCDK starterware examples on vga

I have the L138 LCDK board. I want to capture video data from a CMOS image sensor and store it to SD card. I was hoping to understand the code by looking at the vpif_loopback demo. But i saw that the name suggests it displays on LCD. Is it the same as the VGA port ? if not what can be done to port it to vga. I tried running the demos "game/demo/vpif_loopback". None of these 3 shows anything on my VGA

Titus,

So I tried playing with the code a little to suit my camera, but the display still doesnt show anything. And this is after I commented out the regVal check in the vpifcompositeInit function, where it was in an infinite loop because the regVal was  always 0x11. After commenting that, the display would switch ON, but nothing. While I was changing the code, at one point it even displayed the "The current timing is not supported by the monitor display. Please change your input timing".

Here are the details about the camera I am currently using:

In my knowledge only the capture_widht/height and Display width/height values need to be changed depending on the camera right ?! I tried changing them to vga values. That didnt help. What do you think. pls help.

Thanks

Thats it, I am creating a new thread for this.

I didnot create a new thread. I was able to get the code working when I change the resolutions to the following:

Capture Height : 525

Capture Width: 720

Display Height: 480

Display width: 640

For the above values I got the video on the the VGA, but there was 2 issues I noted:

First of all,

1. There was a green bar about 20 lines high near the bottom of the screen.

In the above picture, I've disconnected the Camera. Even then the green bar was still there. Why is this green bar there and how can it be removed?

It was then that I tried changing the resolution. Thats when the next issue came up.

2. When i tried to change the resolution and debug the code, it would give a black screen on output. However, the next time I debugged, it showed an error as you can see in the below pic.

If I press okay, it would go forward with the debugging, loading the program. But again black screen. Nothing not even the green bar shows up on the monitor. After this the board behaves the same way to any code change unless I reset the board and plug out and plug in the cables once. What could be the issue.
