Development of a Frame Buffer Driver for Embedded Linux Graphic System

  • Published : 2003.10.22

Abstract

A frame buffer device is an abstraction for the graphic hardware. It allows application software to access the graphic hardware through a well-defined interface, so that the software doesn’t need to know anything about the low-level interface stuff. We develop a frame buffer driver for VIA’s CLE266 graphic system based on ‘Qplus’, an embedded linux operating system developed by ETRI. Then, it will be seen that our frame buffer system is applied to embedded solutions such as movie player and X server successfully.
