Slow VGA display performance on iMX53 QSB EC7 platform

[bdp42]

Hi,

I am running Windows Embedded Compact 7 on an iMX53 Quick Start Board platform. The BSP is based on the SABRE ARD board ported to the QSB.

I am using an external VGA display (DI1 set as primary panel) and the display performance is slow. For example, entering 'dir' at the command prompt takes about 3 seconds to output a list of 25 files. I've checked the various clocks ( CPU, DRAM, etc ) and they are set at the max values and I believe I've selected all of the appropriate catalog items.

This seems very slow and I assume this is not normal behaviour. Can anyone suggest possible causes of this problem or specific areas that could be investigated?

Thanks

Bruno

You might check that there aren't spurious interrupts.  Also, refer to the documentation and turn off GDI acceleration to see if that has an impact.
