Hi.
May i know how many display BG and overlay framebuffer is available on the imx6 SOLO?
In below page:
https://support.bluetechnix.at/wiki/Linux_Software_User_Manual_%28i.MX6%29
section 8.13 Display Interface,
It stated that imx6 SOLO only has 2 BG framebuffer and 1 overlay framebuffer.
Just want to confirm whether this is true? I did not see any description on this in the reference manual.
Thank you.

Hi Chip,
Yes. I understand that i.mx6S only has one IPU.
But this one IPU has how many BG framebuffer and overlay framebuffer? I dun see this information in the page you attached.
Thank you.

Hi Zhen,
expert answer:
"the hardware IPU by default doesn't support it. It can only support 2-layer(BG, FG)."

Hi Chip,
If this is the case, does it means that for dual display (as supported by the IPU),
i have 2x2layer(BG,FG) framebuffer?
