Hi,

In my iMX6SL evk board I am not able to see /dev/fb1 after start up.

Do iMX6SL support overlay frame buffer? How can I enable it?

In iMX6QDL processors IPU provides overlay frame buffer support.

Thanks,

Jemin Morabia

mx6sl doesn't ipu, just has EPDC controler, which doesn't support overlay.

Xie,

Doesn't IMX6SL have GPU2D support with EPDC controller ?

Hi Morabia,

In the documents i.MX_6SoloLite_EVK_Linux_Release_Notes.pdf and i.MX_6SoloLite_Linux_Reference_Manual.pdf you can see that "Support for screen updates from an alternate (overlay) buffer".

Here I attached them for you, please have a check. Hope this can help you.


Have a great day,
Dan
