Been busy in other areas. The furthest I got was to note that some driver thing not done up - and may be intimately tied to VGA drivers. It loads without error messages now and something happens on the video - though nowhere near interesting. I order 2xcubie breakout boards and try wiring up those as back up. If the cubie2 can do it, it can be ported to eoma in no time. Olimex guys have LCD working, but there is not ONE complete working example that cuts the chase to show anyone how its done for RGB LCD for A10 or A20.
if you've got a spare board even a prototype with a 3.3v and other power regs on it, and one of the 480x272 LCDs you can send me i'll have a go if you like. something that can connect to the MEB i've got here.
Good.
Success = Effort x (tools)^2
Success = 1 x (1)^2 at the moment.
I'm waiting on the cubie expansion boards one of which i plan for this LCD. Have to wire a duplicate fpc + power supplies (3.3V + 18V backlight). That means 5V and 19V laptop type power supply needed to power up the LCD.
So yes if I spend time to make 2nd tool with cubie, then its time well spent as I will have 2 tools, and if I make a duplicate eoma one, I can send one tool to you for parallel effort.
Option1 - Success = 1 x (2)^2 + 1 x (1)^2 = 5
If just send you the eoma tool after having made a cubie tool for myself, it would become
Option2 - Success = 1 x (1)^2 + 1 x (1)^2 = 2
If I make a cubieboard LCD system tool for you as well and the eoma tool, and you can use both effectively, then we both have 2 tools and it become
Option3 - Success = 1 x (2)^2 + 1 x (2)^2 = 8
Take your pick!
