Hi,
Just trying to expand the EOMA ecosystem.
I've got Realtek RTD2660 dithered LCD driver I bought with 800x480 7" display. It converts a 1024p HDMI signal to 800x480 and dithers the pixels to give impression of very high definition. (The illusion is a challenge for small characters that need to be displayed.) It works well for graphical OS like Ubuntu running on the EOMA.
Just wondering if anyone know of SDKs and all the developer bits needed to get RTD2660 board built for EOMA.
(I believe Raspi developers are thinking of making such a device already and have a kickstarter like campaign going.)
As far as I know, what they have in mind is an _actual_ HD LCD monitor, not a sub-sampling one - exactly because small stuff is unreadable on those. Only a 720p one to be fair, not 1080p, but still HD. To be honest, I would myself give an arm and a leg for such a device - but not the ~75 quid (plus shipping) they plan to sell it for (yeah well, apparently I don't value arms and legs too highly).
A 480x800 panel with a HDMI input would be an entirely different beast. So which one are we talking about?
