We need to configure a 4 bpp mono display to operate on the Bitsyx. I configured the xscale lccr registers and the intel display registry keys as below:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEDriversDisplayIntel]
"CxScreen"=dword:140 ; 320
"CyScreen"=dword:F0 ; 240
"Bpp"=dword:04 ; for okaya

When I boot I get two new messages.

First is " Not support yet on 4 BPP.", which I would guess is the bootloader trying to display a splash.bmp that is incorrectlty installed, this I can live with.

The other a failure in the display driver memory initialization. The trace information is below:

Can you tell can the bitsyx support a 4 bpp monochrome display?

Thanks,
msc

Thanks for the notes. This looks like a CE display driver issue, so in deference to our Linux brethren, I've moved your post from the Hardware->Display Drivers forum to the CE Drivers forum.

I see you're using BitsyX boot 1.14. Can you also let us know which CE build you're using? We've created mono passive configurations in the past for the BitsyX, but maybe something has changed.

Hi mcovert,

We use the mono display 4bpp with the BitsyX (CE 4.10.X and CE 4.20.X) no problem. You should modify the following keys :

In the Adsload.reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEDriversDisplayIntel]

"CxScreen"=dword:140 ; 320
"CyScreen"=dword:F0 ; 240
"Bpp"=dword:04 ; 4bpp
"Rotate"=dword:0 ; 0x5A=90,0x10E=270
"EnableMouseCursor"=dword:1

And in the Adsload.hwt

;display 320x240 passive Mono LCD
0x44000000 0x0010187A ;LCCR0
0x44000004 0x0101053f ;LCCR1
0x44000008 0x010104EF ;LCCR2
0x4400000C 0x0240FF1B ;LCCR3

Make sure that your display cable pinout (D0 D1 D2 D3) wired correctly.

Good luck.

Thanks to both akidder and vtk100 for your replies.

The above trace I got from the build I created from the binary bsp. But I flashed the NK.bin from 700115_0107e_bitsyx64_pro_ram_ce_4.20.17_20mib.zip and got the same exception. If i set bpp to 8 the dirver initializes but of course the display is blank

my registry entries are identical.

my xscale config registers are slightly different due to timing differences, but it's passive, 4bpp and 4 data lines.

Wehn you say make sure the cable is wired correctly, according to the xscale manual that in 4 bit monochrome use data lines ldd 0-3. these i've dired to data line 0-3 on the display. I assume that the xscale manual is correct, of course.

thanks again,
mark

Hi Mark,

The reason is the data come out from Bitsy X is:
pin 22 --> data 2;
pin 23 --> data 3;
pin 24 --> data 0;
pin 25 --> data 1.

So check your LCD spec again. If the pinout and timing are correct , it should work.
