Brendon 
I've been using the mini2440 for some time and have been using the
mini2440.git repository.
Ive been able to successfully build many images and use menuconfig to
add/remove drivers etc.
Currently I've got myself a 7" screen which I'm hoping to get pygtk
running on but am running into a couple of problems.
I can build my image just fine here is my .bb recipe:
#Angstrom mini2440 gpe image
IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND = "create_etc_timestamp"
ANGSTROM_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""
XSERVER ?= "xserver-kdrive-fbdev"
DEPENDS = "task-base task-base-extended \
psplash-zap \
esekeyd u-boot-utils tslib \
i2c-tools i2c screen rsync nfs-utils \
directfb gdbserver directfb mtd-utils \
"
IMAGE_INSTALL = "task-base-extended \
${ANGSTROM_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
psplash-zap \
esekeyd u-boot-utils tslib-calibrate tslib-tests \
i2c-tools i2c screen rsync nfs-utils-client \
directfb gdbserver directfb mtd-utils \
rsvg pango \
${XSERVER} \
angstrom-x11-base-depends \
angstrom-gpe-task-base \
angstrom-gpe-task-settings \
"
IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND = "create_etc_timestamp"
#zap root password for release images
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += '${@base_conditional("DISTRO_TYPE",
"release", "zap_root_password; ", "",d)}'
export IMAGE_BASENAME = "maco-gpe-image"
IMAGE_LINGUAS = ""
inherit image
I flash the nand as usual excpet this time i set the mini2440 bootargs
variable to 1tb as suggested at
http://labs.kernelconcepts.de/Publications/Micro2440/
Everything boots up fine except when I get to the part its suppose to
start the gpe-dm i do not get the graphical display and instead i get
a console. The same image with the 3.5" touch screen works fine.
I've downloaded the support kit from
http://labs.kernelconcepts.de/Publications/Micro2440/ which has a
angstrom-gpe-image and it booted gdm fine on the 7" screen. With this image
I was even able to install and
run my pygtk application after installing the necessary packages
through opkg and setting DISPLAY=:0.0
I have been doing reseach and read a post about installing X11 on the
mini2440 and this is what I've done:
modified hw/kdrive/src/kmode.c:
//15 is the position in the array
#define MONITOR_TIMING_DEFAULT 15
{ 800, 480, 72, 50000,
56, 64, 240, KdSyncPositive,
37, 23, 66, KdSyncPositive,
},
modified lines 666 to 673 in hw/kdrive/fbdev/fbdev.c, where it says:
/* display it on the LCD **** COMMENT OUT THIS CODE */
/* k = ioctl (priv->fd, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, &priv->var);
if (k < 0)
{
perror ("1: FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO");
return FALSE;
} */
$ bitbake -f -c compile maco-gpe-image
$ bitbake maco-gpe-image
reflashed the mini2440
set uboot bootargs to:
setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2
console=ttySAC0,115200 mini2440=1tb
(i also tried without mini2440=1tb)
When the device is booting i get tux in the top left corner, then the
Angstrom splash loading screen, but when gdm-dm starts all i get on
the screen is the Angstom login screen in a console environment.
when i login and run fbset -i i get the following ouput which looks
alright:
mode "800x480-50"
# D: 23.896 MHz, H: 25.750 kHz, V: 50.000 Hz
geometry 800 480 800 480 16
timings 41848 40 40 29 3 48 3
accel false
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode
I can run ts_test and everything is fine. I just cant get gpe
running...
Have I done it wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
