dm6467 video applications

Good morning,

We are evaluating a dm6467 EVM for graphical applications and HD video processing.

The EVM comes with an X server for a frame buffer device (/dev/fb/...), which it cannot find. The davinci kernel drivers only seem to support fbdev on dm355 and dm644x. What is the supported route for running an X server and various graphical applications on the 6467?

Thanks,

Olivier

    Oliver,

    The video display driver on DM6467 is based on V4L2 (as opposed to frame buffer as in DM644x) Linux standard.  I am not sure if X Server can run on top of V4L2; otherwise, you may need to port a frame-buffer driver to DM6467.  Please note that from a hardware perspective, display hardware on DM6467 is very different that what is found in DM6446 (build-in OSD hardware).
