Porting M5rc14 To Real Hardware
« Reply #15 on: February 27, 2008, 04:40:38 am »
Quote from: Android Zaurus
My guess for now. Let the Android use drivers/video/pxafb.c not platform driver in arch/arm/mach-pxa. I'm working on another project for now and my Zaurus is configured for m3 Android. Later I'd like to try to build the kernel with CONFIG_FB_PXA=m and see what happens.

By the way, I found this wiki is very informational.

Android on OMAP - Embeddedlinux
http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP

Setting CONFIG_FB_PXA=m changes the behavior indeed... it turns the screen to white instead of black  
To be precise, the screen is white all the time, not only when switching to graphics mode, but also at startup and in console.
So, this seems not to be the solution either.

Look at the interesting part (sorry, it's a bit long) in the trace output below. It says "page flipping not supported (yres_virtual=640, requested=1280". I think this is the problem we're facing.

Code: [Select]

Cortez,

Thanks for trying to make a module.

Quote from: cortez
It says "page flipping not supported (yres_virtual=640, requested=1280". I think this is the problem we're facing.

Gee. We need a double buffer capable driver. Means a bit of work to modify current pxafb driver code.

Would it be possible to make the second page (the second mmap2 call) point to the same address as the first?
That would mean patching (or rebuilding if source is available) libagl.
Anyone know a good ARM disassembler that could be used to find the right spot?

Can we try starting android in QVGA mode ?
In that mode 320*240 it will be possible to have a double buffer for screen.
I think that the requested value yres*2 is calculated from the actual résolution from FSCREENINFO like it work in tomtom navigation software.

ask the angstrom kernel guy, (richard purdie?), he added a feature we needed when getting tomtom to run on it, so hopefully that would avoid any bodges that would come back to haunt us.

I guess I need to adjust the default pxafb framebuffer code to see if this can be tweaked easily.
We'll see if this works

Is there anyone who is familliar with OpenEZX?
http://www.openezx.org/

Their wiki mentions double buffer support.
  • video/pxafb.c  MV file, changes for backlight timer, 18bpp/19bpp and double buffering support
http://wiki.openezx.org/CodeAnalysis

I looked around their svn, but I couldn't find paticullar patch or source code.

I did it, it works! The problem was the unsupported page flipping in the frame buffer.
More info later, it needs some more tweaking before I can upload a new image.
Check out my blog for more info.

Today I implemented my version of double buffer and pan in pxafb. It works. m5_rc14 booted up on my Zaurus finally. My patch is very primitive. Any suggestions make it better are very welcome.

o Android Zaurus: m5_rc14 works on my Zaurus C3000

Cortez,
Is your keyboard working correctly? Something funny with mine. I can't navigate on the menu by cursor keys. It's like a jumping around.

 It works for me too.
Just a litle thing in your patch, your panning function only toggle FB base adresse.
The result can be inverted.
Normaly the base adresse is calculated with the var.yoffset value from var_screeninfo.
I'm going to work on that !

Thanks !

Normaly the base adresse is calculated with the var.yoffset value from var_screeninfo.
I'm going to work on that !

Big thanks from me. I'm not familliar with fb driver. Please make the patch better. I noticed that some long cycle flickerings while I tried a couple of times booting Android up. I guess I need exclusiveness to change DMA address.

Today I implemented my version of double buffer and pan in pxafb. It works. m5_rc14 booted up on my Zaurus finally. My patch is very primitive. Any suggestions make it better are very welcome.

o Android Zaurus: m5_rc14 works on my Zaurus C3000

Cortez,
Is your keyboard working correctly? Something funny with mine. I can't navigate on the menu by cursor keys. It's like a jumping around.

The cursor keys are working, no problems there.

Can you try to replace your fb_pan _display portion of code with this one :
Code: [Select]
+static int pxafb_pan_display(struct fb_var_screeninfo *var, struct fb_info *info)
+{
+       struct pxafb_info *fbi = (struct pxafb_info *)info;
+               fbi->dmadesc_fbhigh_cpu->fsadr = fbi->screen_dma + (var->xres * var->yoffset * var->bits_per_pixel/8);
+       return 0;
+}
It work for me.
