DM365 DMAI Osd capabilities

AmirEscBaz Shasd

Hello,

I am trying to understand the capabilities of the DM365 OSD driver.
I have every thing working OK as long as I use the DMAI functions with resolutions no larger then D1 (PAL / NTSC)
else the DMAI Display_Create function fails.

I want to use the OSD with 800x600 or 1024x768 LCD screen.
I looked in the HW FPBE data sheet and there is no HW limitation on OSD resoluitions so the ability for larger windows is there.

The problem:
when i create a new OSD display ("/dev/fb0"), i cant give it my own buffers since the DMAI Display_fbdev_create  function doesnot allow the user to allocate the buffers.
Is there some type of define for video standard : LCD_600*800 and LCD_1024*768
I Checked the DMAI defines and there are no defenitions for these resolutions.

My next thing was to change the Display_fbdev_create  function so that it will allways allocate buffers with 1024x768 size (RGB565)
But when i changed the Buffer size to a bigger size (for the buftab create function) the mmap fuction that maps the display file descriptor fails
It return [EINVAL]  error code.
As if the mmap funciton has some limitation on the len paramenter (it should be limited to the max file size of the fs)

Is there a better solution to controlloing the OSD of the DM365 when outputing to a 800*600 / 1024*768 LCD ??

Thank you.

    I will try to explain your issue from the driver end:

     

    Hello,

    [Manju] For it to succeed, one needs to add the support for the LCD in the driver already. Currently the driver has support for TV resolutions like NTSC/PAL etc.

    [Manju] fbdev driver (/dev/fb0) does not allow users to exchange buffers. The buffers are owned by the fb device and one can only write on to them.

    [Manju] The answer is that you have to implement the support for your LCD with the appropriate resolution. For this , the implementation is two-fold -

    1. Implement the appropriate timings for the LCD in the VENC digital interface

    2. Increase the buffer size to match the LCD size and program the OSD appropriately.

     Thank you.
