Chips 69000 video at 320x240

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get the video on an
embedded JUMPtec PC/104 board working in 320x240 1/4 VGA mode.

‘crttrap start’ gets it running in 640x480x8 mode fine with these commands

chipsbios.ms -i0x101 -A0xFD000000 -S0x01000000 -M0x0009,5,0,0,0x00200000 &
Pg.chips -HNqnx/crt -g640x480x8 -A0xFD000000,0x1000000 -WB640 -WR0 -WM0x0009,5,0,0,0x00200000 &

The documentation for the Chips 69000 Super VGA chipset show that
it supports modes 17h (320x240x256 colors),18h (320x240x64k colors),
and 19h (320x240x16M colors). Mode 17h would be fine with me, since
the device has a grey scale display, however none of these modes
show up in the trap file.

Is 320x240 possible on this chipset with shipping video drivers?

How can I make this work?

TIA

Hi Ken,

It may work if you make the following change to your trap file:

chipsbios.ms -i0x17 -A0xFD000000 -S0x01000000 -M0x0009,5,0,0,0x00200000 &
Pg.chips -HNqnx/crt -g320x240x8 -A0xFD000000,0x1000000 -WB640 -WR0
-WM0x0009,5,0,0,0x00200000 &

If this does not work, I would then try doing the same thing with the
flat and svga trap lines. I’m guessing it’s probably not that important to
have acceleration at 320x240.

Joe

Hi Joe,

Using your Pg.chips line, it started up - but every other horizontal
line was blank, and it was still in 640x480 mode. I changed the -WB640
to -WB320, which fixed the every-other-blank-line problem, but the
screen was still 640x480. It never did size the display to 320x240.

I then tried svga lines

vesabios.ms -i0x17;
Pg.svga -HNqnx/crt -g320x240x8 -WC8,0x1 -A0xA0000,0x10000 -WB320;

It starts up in 320x240 mode, then when I start the touch calibration
program it expands to 640x480 mode.

I then tried the flat lines

Hydra.ms -S -i0x17 -s0x0000,0x0008 -r;
Pg.flat -HC0x00000008 -PX -HNqnx/crt -g320x240x8 -A0xFD000000,0x200000 -WB320;

And it behaved the same as Pg.svga did.

Why does starting the touch application cause the screen to resize
to 640x480?

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Which calabration utility are you using? calib?

Hi. We are using a slightly modified version of calib. The only
change we made was to shift the coordinates left by 60 pixels
when absf is written. This was done because our touch overlay
is physically larger than the LCD, and it has a touch sensitive
area to the left of the display.

Our calib has worked fine for more than a year on an Ampro
MiniModule/LCD-II card with (IIRC) a cirrus logic chipset.

We’d like to use Pg.chips if possible, since this embedded
instrument is huffing and puffing when measuring laser pulses
at 4 kHz.

Have you QNX folks been able to figure out a solution to this
problem yet?

I’d like to know the status of this situation.

Hi Ken,

Sorry for the slow response. We have been unable to
reproduce the problem here. Is it possible for you to send
us your hardware to reproduce and analyze the problem
here?

Hi Joe,

It will be tough. We have only one unit for evaluation. Let me see
what I can do - it may take awhile.
