`devg-ravin.so`

Graphics driver for NEC Ravin chipsets

Syntax:

io-graphics -d ravin [option[,option...]]
            ... &

Options:

For the general io-graphics options that can be used with this driver, see io-graphics.

Options specific to this driver:

mode_opts=config-file: Specifies the full path to ravin.conf, which is the configuration file for this driver.

Description:

The devg-ravin.so driver provides accelerated 2D support for the NEC Ravin graphics chipset.

You can edit the ravin.conf configuration file to enable devg-ravin.so to run on your board. Follow the editing instructions in this file to specify the correct configuration for the required display mode. (For a more detailed explanation of the display settings, see the appropriate NEC documentation.)

You must specify the location of the configuration file to the devg-ravin.so driver via the mode_opts option of io-graphics. For example:

io-graphics -d ravin xres=640,yres=480,bitpp=16,photon,
mode_opts=/etc/photon/config/ravin.conf -pphoton
