  • Hi,Steve,

     Now I want to display the video signal produced by UVC camera. Because the format of the camera is YUYV, and the input signal of LCD is RGB 565,it is said the LCD supports YUV2 in some reference manuals , I want to know if I need to convert the YUYV to RGB?

    Thanks.

  • Hi,all

    Althrough I have brightten the LCD by modify some parameters after the board booted.  I only modified the /display0/timing .But  when I use it to display the video signal there always have mistakes. So I want to know  is there a LCD controller to modify the parameter ?And how will I to modify it?

  • Keciy,

    The video pipes are able to use YUV frame buffers but the graphics pipe is not.

    If you refer to the TRM and check register DISPC_VIDn_ATTRIBUTES you will see what the various frame buffer formats can be.

    Unfortunately I do not know enough about the software driver configuration to know if there is a quick and simple way to use the video pipe rather than the graphics pipe for the primary display under Linux.

    BR,
