OMAP2/3 Display Subsystem
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is an almost total rewrite of the OMAP FB driver in drivers/video/omap
|
|
(let's call it DSS1). The main differences between DSS1 and DSS2 are DSI,
|
|
TV-out and multiple display support, but there are lots of small improvements
|
|
also.
|
|
|
|
The DSS2 driver (omapdss module) is in arch/arm/plat-omap/dss/, and the FB,
|
|
panel and controller drivers are in drivers/video/omap2/. DSS1 and DSS2 live
|
|
currently side by side, you can choose which one to use.
|
|
|
|

|
omapdss driver
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The DSS driver does not itself have any support for Linux framebuffer, V4L or
|
|
such like the current ones, but it has an internal kernel API that upper level
|
|
drivers can use.
|
|
|
|
The DSS driver models OMAP's overlays, overlay managers and displays in a
|
|
flexible way to enable non-common multi-display configuration. In addition to
|
|
modelling the hardware overlays, omapdss supports virtual overlays and overlay
|
|
managers. These can be used when updating a display with CPU or system DMA.
|
|
|
|
Panel and controller drivers
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The drivers implement panel or controller specific functionality and are not
|
|
usually visible to users except through omapfb driver. They register
|
|
themselves to the DSS driver.
|
|
|
|
omapfb driver
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The omapfb driver implements arbitrary number of standard linux framebuffers.
|
|
These framebuffers can be routed flexibly to any overlays, thus allowing very
|
|
dynamic display architecture.
|
|
|
|
The driver exports some omapfb specific ioctls, which are compatible with the
|
|
ioctls in the old driver.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the non standard features are exported via sysfs. Whether the final
|
|
implementation will use sysfs, or ioctls, is still open.
|
|
|
|
V4L2 drivers
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
V4L2 is being implemented in TI.
|
|
|
|
From omapdss point of view the V4L2 drivers should be similar to framebuffer
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
Architecture
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Some clarification what the different components do:
|
|
|
|
- Framebuffer is a memory area inside OMAP's SRAM/SDRAM that contains the
|
|
pixel data for the image. Framebuffer has width and height and color
|
|
depth.
|
|
- Overlay defines where the pixels are read from and where they go on the
|
|
screen. The overlay may be smaller than framebuffer, thus displaying only
|
|
part of the framebuffer. The position of the overlay may be changed if
|
|
the overlay is smaller than the display.
|
|
- Overlay manager combines the overlays in to one image and feeds them to
|
|
display.
|
|
- Display is the actual physical display device.
|
|
|
|
A framebuffer can be connected to multiple overlays to show the same pixel data
|
|
on all of the overlays. Note that in this case the overlay input sizes must be
|
|
the same, but, in case of video overlays, the output size can be different. Any
|
|
framebuffer can be connected to any overlay.
|
|
|
|
An overlay can be connected to one overlay manager. Also DISPC overlays can be
|
|
connected only to DISPC overlay managers, and virtual overlays can be only
|
|
connected to virtual overlays.
|
|
|
|
An overlay manager can be connected to one display. There are certain
|
|
restrictions which kinds of displays an overlay manager can be connected:
|
|
|
|
- DISPC TV overlay manager can be only connected to TV display.
|
|
- Virtual overlay managers can only be connected to DBI or DSI displays.
|
|
- DISPC LCD overlay manager can be connected to all displays, except TV
|
|
display.
|
|
|
|
Sysfs
|
|
-----
|
|
The sysfs interface is mainly used for testing. I don't think sysfs
|
|
interface is the best for this in the final version, but I don't quite know
|
|
what would be the best interfaces for these things.
|
|
|
|
The sysfs interface is divided to two parts: DSS and FB.
|
|
|

|

Default setup on OMAP3 SDP
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Here's the default setup on OMAP3 SDP board. All planes go to LCD. DVI
|
|
and TV-out are not in use. The columns from left to right are:
|
|
framebuffers, overlays, overlay managers, displays. Framebuffers are
|
|
handled by omapfb, and the rest by the DSS.
|
|
|
|
FB0 --- GFX -\ DVI
|
|
FB1 --- VID1 --+- LCD ---- LCD
|
|
FB2 --- VID2 -/ TV ----- TV
|
|
|
|
Example: Switch from LCD to DVI
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
w=`cat $dvi/timings | cut -d "," -f 2 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
|
|
h=`cat $dvi/timings | cut -d "," -f 3 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
|
|
|
|
echo "0" > $lcd/enabled
|
|
echo "" > $mgr0/display
|
|
fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres $w -yres $h -vxres $w -vyres $h
|
|
# at this point you have to switch the dvi/lcd dip-switch from the omap board
|
|
echo "dvi" > $mgr0/display
|
|
echo "1" > $dvi/enabled
|
|
|
|
After this the configuration looks like:
|
|
|
|
FB0 --- GFX -\ -- DVI
|
|
FB1 --- VID1 --+- LCD -/ LCD
|
|
FB2 --- VID2 -/ TV ----- TV
|
|
|
|
Example: Clone GFX overlay to LCD and TV
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
w=`cat $tv/timings | cut -d "," -f 2 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
|
|
h=`cat $tv/timings | cut -d "," -f 3 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
|
|
|
|
echo "0" > $ovl0/enabled
|
|
echo "0" > $ovl1/enabled
|
|
|
|
echo "" > $fb1/overlays
|
|
echo "0,1" > $fb0/overlays
|
|
|
|
echo "$w,$h" > $ovl1/output_size
|
|
echo "tv" > $ovl1/manager
|
|
|
|
echo "1" > $ovl0/enabled
|
|
echo "1" > $ovl1/enabled
|
|
|
|
echo "1" > $tv/enabled
|
|
|
|
After this the configuration looks like (only relevant parts shown):
|
|
|
|
FB0 +-- GFX ---- LCD ---- LCD
|
|
\- VID1 ---- TV ---- TV
|
|
|
|
Misc notes
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
OMAP FB allocates the framebuffer memory using the OMAP VRAM allocator.
|
|
|
|
Using DSI DPLL to generate pixel clock it is possible produce the pixel clock
|
|
of 86.5MHz (max possible), and with that you get 1280x1024@57 output from DVI.
|
|
|
|
Rotation and mirroring currently only supports RGB565 and RGB8888 modes. VRFB
|
|
does not support mirroring.
|
|
|
|
VRFB rotation requires much more memory than non-rotated framebuffer, so you
|
|
probably need to increase your vram setting before using VRFB rotation. Also,
|
|
many applications may not work with VRFB if they do not pay attention to all
|
|
framebuffer parameters.
|
|
|
|
Kernel boot arguments
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
vram=<size>
|
|
- Amount of total VRAM to preallocate. For example, "10M". omapfb
|
|
allocates memory for framebuffers from VRAM.
|
|
|
|
omapfb.mode=<display>:<mode>[,...]
|
|
- Default video mode for specified displays. For example,
|
|
"dvi:800x400MR-24@60". See drivers/video/modedb.c.
|
|
There are also two special modes: "pal" and "ntsc" that
|
|
can be used to tv out.
|
|
|
|
omapfb.vram=<fbnum>:<size>[@<physaddr>][,...]
|
|
- VRAM allocated for a framebuffer. Normally omapfb allocates vram
|
|
depending on the display size. With this you can manually allocate
|
|
more or define the physical address of each framebuffer. For example,
|
|
"1:4M" to allocate 4M for fb1.
|
|
|
|
omapfb.debug=<y|n>
|
|
- Enable debug printing. You have to have OMAPFB debug support enabled
|
|
in kernel config.
|
|
|
|
omapfb.test=<y|n>
|
|
- Draw test pattern to framebuffer whenever framebuffer settings change.
|
|
You need to have OMAPFB debug support enabled in kernel config.
|
|
|
|
omapfb.vrfb=<y|n>
|
|
- Use VRFB rotation for all framebuffers.
|
|
|
|
omapfb.rotate=<angle>
|
|
- Default rotation applied to all framebuffers.
|
|
0 - 0 degree rotation
|
|
1 - 90 degree rotation
|
|
2 - 180 degree rotation
|
|
3 - 270 degree rotation
|
|
|
|
omapfb.mirror=<y|n>
|
|
- Default mirror for all framebuffers. Only works with DMA rotation.
|
|
|
|
omapdss.def_disp=<display>
|
|
- Name of default display, to which all overlays will be connected.
|
|
Common examples are "lcd" or "tv".
|
|
|
|
omapdss.debug=<y|n>
|
|
- Enable debug printing. You have to have DSS debug support enabled in
|
|
kernel config.
|
|

TODO
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
DSS locking
|
|
|
|
Error checking
|
|
- Lots of checks are missing or implemented just as BUG()
|
|
|
|
System DMA update for DSI
|
|
- Can be used for RGB16 and RGB24P modes. Probably not for RGB24U (how
|
|
to skip the empty byte?)
|
|
|
|
OMAP1 support
|
|
- Not sure if needed
