Re: VGA

Thanks, Dean. Maybe we can talk them out of the source, at least. That
would future proof it a bit.

If anyone has some part numbers, design suggestions, etc. for connecting LCD
outputs from PXA to VGA, let me know.

The SM501 driver works in CE5 (as well as it does in CE4.2, anyway),
although you may be on your own for CE6. I think I might have been
involved in using a DAC ages ago, but don't remember the details. No
reason it shouldn't work though.

Hi,

I'm in the middle of a design of a new board. We want VGA output (don't
care about LCD, on this one). The number of VGA controllers out there
that aren't tied to a bus is shrinking (we're XScale based). There's the
old standby Epson. The RAM used with it is going end-of-life, however.
There's the Silicon Motion SM501, but it doesn't appear to have drivers
for CE5, even, let along long-term commitment to CE6. Other thoughts,
suggestions, or recommendations? Anyone build their own DAC scheme to
take the LCD outputs from the PXA270 and drive a VGA from the result?
