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.)
So effectively the project is to build a miniature open source HDMI monitor for EOMA all done up in glorious KiCAD. When I get access to a 3D printer, a 100% open sourced case design is likely a done deal.
The chip cost <$2, and LCD about $14. Add in all the components, and you could make decent micro HDMI monitors with BOM of about $20.
Anyone out there wanting to cooperate on this one? I can do all the layout and LCDs to get the thing going from a hardware point of view. I can buy a programmer to program the RTD2660 chip.
What I don't have is the SDK to customize the chip. But obviously need some kind of SDK to make the firmware files. I don't particularly know what to get it, or if there are are open source projects out there that can generate the firmware and/or program the RTD2660 chip
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
