06:13 kremlin hey! -- can someone help me with the imx6q's hdmi framebuffer?
06:46 jnettlet kremlin, what do you need?
06:46 jnettlet topi`, yeah. They got a bit over the top in the ads department for my liking.
06:47 kremlin jnettlet: well, for one, i am having trouble ascertaining the datapath from framebuffer bits -> HDMI transmitter
06:47 kremlin i have a DMA'd pixel framebuffer, i am just not sure where to put its address
06:49 jnettlet kremlin, what image format is the pixel framebuffer in?
06:49 kremlin jnettlet: i can set it to anything, but currently 24bit color RGB
06:51 jnettlet kremlin, okay do you need accelerated blitting, or just dumping the pixels manually?
06:51 kremlin jnettlet: dumping manually
06:53 jnettlet for hdmi /dev/fb0 is the default device then
06:53 kremlin jnettlet: i am writing a device driver for bsd, not linux
06:54 jnettlet then you need to write drivers for both the IPU, and the HDMI transmitter
06:55 kremlin that's what i'm doing, but i am confused as to how my pixel framebuffer in memory fits in with the IPU
06:59 jnettlet you need to take the parameters for your framebuffer, pixel_fmt in and out, size etc and then program an ipu channel to read from it.
07:00 kremlin jnettlet: gotcha, thanks for your help
07:00 jnettlet and there are restrictions regarding strides and sizes that if they aren't adhered to can cause the IPU to lockup
07:01 kremlin i'll watch out for those
07:02 jnettlet okay good luck
23:15 KodiakFi-at-home Anyone able to confirm the barrel connector for the Cubox i4-pro is 4mm?
23:15 KodiakFi-at-home That's my ruler measurement - I don't have a micrometer handy
23:18 KodiakFi-at-home I mean it could be a 5.5m
23:18 kremlin KodiakFi-at-home: let me check
23:19 KodiakFi-at-home Thans kremlin - the more I look at it the more I'm thinking 5.5mm
23:19 KodiakFi-at-home damn my inability to keep track of my tools
23:20 KodiakFi-at-home brb kremlin
23:21 KodiakFi-at-home thx in advance of course in case I'm not at keyboard when you respond
23:21 kremlin KodiakFi-at-home: 5.5mm. my adapter's datasheet confirms
23:21 kremlin pin is line, barrel is gnd
23:23 KodiakFi-at-home ah thanks a bunch Kremlin - I couldn't find the specs. I'm cutting everything over to 2.4A USB to clean up cables
23:27 kremlin :)
