AM3517 HDMI driver for Linux

Ken,

Other resolutions are already supported through sys/fs entries.

Have a look at the following web pages...

If you are only concerned about video through the HDMI port then the existing DVI drivers should work. If you want audio too, or want to support some of the other HDMI features such as YUV color space etc... then you will need to modify the drivers yourself based on the specific HDMI transmitter you ultimately decide to use.

Hi Steve,

I have a similar question. Now I have a Beagleboard-xM Rev-B which contains DM3730. I also wanna use HDMI which have both video and audio feature. Does that mean that I need to modify the current DVI driver to make it work? 

BTW, can you tell me where can I get the open source DVI driver which currently works on my BBXM board? Thank you so much for your help!

Best regards!

Unfortunately the Beagle boards do not have HDMI transmitters, only DVI transmitters so you will not be able to do HDMI with audio without building your own daughter card containing a HDMI transmitter.

I have asked our software team to let you know about software releases.

Thank you so much Steve!

One more question: When and how will the software team contact me to let me know about the SW release?  

Thanks again for your time and consideration!!!

Best regards!

And, BTW, is there any daughter boards you make which contain HDMI transmitter and compatible with the Beagleboard-xM? If so, I will just order some from TI.

Xing,

Beagleboard is not actually a TI product, so you will really need to check http://beagleboard.org/ to see what might be available in the community.

Steve

OK, I will do that. Thank you so much for your help!
