Is it possible DM35x or DM36x can display different content on RGB888(LCD) and Svideo Out

i read on OMAP 3530 Technical Reference Pdf , Page 2124 (spruf98h.pdf). Two 16 bit LCD interface can be connected together to DSS interface on OMAP3 .

Can we do same-thing on Davinci. DM35x o DM36x

I am not very familiar with that particular usage mode on OMAP3, but the same data bus goes to both places, That seems to me either only one LCD is used at a particualr time, or both are receiving same contents.

Davinci, DM35x, or Dm36x won't be able to use this mode either as their is only 1 set of control signals (OMAP3 has two sets)

Have you thought about adding an FPGA in your design to get 2 indepdnent streams out of the video bus?

Actually I thought it. But im not sure how can i do with Host Interface .I cant find any documentation about it.

Whatever.

My customer , wants to two display on the device, one of them playing MPeg encoded media another one is user interface. if you have any suggest any cpu can we do that easily.

Thanks.

What do you mean by "Host Inteface" here? VPBE?

Another question, you want seprate displays for control GUI and video data? Would it be accpetable if they appear on the same display but are side by side (horizontally or vertically)? If you HAVE to have to different displays, what are the resolution and frame rate requirements?

We do have internal FPGA related solutions for dual display for DM3xx as well, however you need to have your regions support contacting us.

I meant Host Port Interface, but after read pdf carefully and then i realized it doesn't solve my problem.

We have different displays, gui inteface will be max 800x600(svga) , no need to 24bpp but if we can , it would be perfect.

I guess i can use   , Epson s1d13xxx LCD  controller for gui interface, i will attach that cpu using EMIFA , and i can find linux driver easily. This is my idea. Any suggestion about that ?

Can you please little explain about your internal FPGA solutions ?

i didnt touch yet your local TI office, I will talk with them after i clearly understand what we can do.

I am not sure how HPI is relevant in this appliation. If you decide to pursue, could you please elaborate?

I am familiar with that LCDC, could you please post a link to the datasheet?

The actual implenetation is internal only at the moment, but the logic is roughly the following:

Interlace the frames of the two video sources and send it out as one video stream, the FPGA will de-interlace the frames and send out two separate streams.

Or,

Set the VPBE to output a large frame, use VID0 to display one video source and VID1 to display the other. Use FPGA to "crop" them out and send out two separate streams.

I talked with your local office, they will help us about your internal solution , may be they can call or e-mail  you about that solution.

if your solution is not suitable for us , i will use  Epson s1d13517F00A for secondry output , http://vdc.epson.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=329&Itemid=99

The biggest problem is , i cant find stand-alone lcd controller beside Epson , do you know any LCD controller that i can use in my project ?, My Customer only one request , Secondary lcd output should be (800x600) resolution.

thanks.
