2009-03-12 05:59:29 Links Browser with DirectFB on TCM-BF537 and Epson S1D13513

Dear guys,

Currently I'm trying to get the links webbrowser running on my TCM-BF537 Board which is connected to an Epson S1d13513. The first graphical App i tried was nano-X. This worked fine. All Apps for nano-X seem to work good on my device, but theres no browser for Nano-X I found. And I want to get a Browser running on my device. Links with directFB seems to be a good alternative.

Building links and directFB went well but when i want to start links on my Device it will not work. The following log should explain what I mean. I also logged my /dev, /proc and directfbrc that you can see what is ready on my device. Currently I work with 2008R1.5.

Did you test your framebuffer with the framebuffer console yet?

docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=the_framebuffer_console

Can you try to enable it - to see if it make a difference?

Hrrrmmm,

I just recognize, that my framebuffer driver is set to support 8 bpp. Perhaps this is the solution :). I will try to compile the Epson-driver tomorrow with 16bit support and the test it again.

I will go on framebuffer console, too. Thanks Michael.

For all guys who want to use DirectFB properly,

I found a link linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl5_fb.modes.htm where is discribed, how to config the fb.modes file in /etc/.

This file is responsable for the configuration of your personal display. The testing is going on, but I cannot spend so much time with it cause I go on to next semester.

Regards Michael

Hey guys,

Another question to links. I tested today links from svn-trunk. Compiling went all well, also I added Framebufferconsole whicj works fine. Now my problem is, that I'll have a configuration fault. When I want to start links, I get this log output.

root:/> links -g www.google.de

Graphics not enabled when compiling

Is there a way to force building links with graphics support?

Yours

Michael
