[microblaze-uclinux] VGA controller in Microblaze

[pcolodron@xxxxxxxx]

Hi everybody,

I am actually trying to work with the latest version of Petalinux in  
my Xilinx Spartan3 development kit. I am quite unexperienced in this  
sense but I have already solved some problems concerning EDK and  
building the Petalinux kernel.

What I would like to do now is to develop a graphical user interface  
in Petalinux (to do this, I will use a graphic library called  
MiniGUI). This software is basically a C-written program which shows  
the GUI by means of the framebuffer fbcon. However, I have some doubts  
about how to do it.

My problems are related to the EDK project. I don't really know if  
Petalinux will work with any type of VGA IP Core. I mean, will  
petalinux detect that I have a VGA IP core? That will be enough if I  
want to use a LCD or a monitor? Because of my lack of knowledge in  
this sense I don't really get to understand how to do this.

Please if you know any place where some cores are avaliable (or some  
information about how to build a VGA controller which works in  
Petalinux) it would be nice of you to tell me.

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards,

Pablo Colodron
