Detailed Description

FB driver for graphic hardware compatible with VESA Bios Extension Real mode interface utilized Tested on real HW.

Public sources related:

VESA BIOS EXTENSION (VBE) Core Function Standard, Ver: 3.0, Sep 16, 1998
VESA Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) Standard Release A, Revision 2, September 25, 2006

Hardware is completely initialized upon boot of the system. Therefore there is no way to change graphics mode later.

Interrupt 0x10 is used for entering graphics BIOS.

Driver reads parameter from multiboot command line to setup video: "--video=<resX>x<resY>[-<bpp>]" "--video=auto" - try EDID to find mode that fits the display attached best "--video=none" / "--video=off" - do not initialize the driver If cmdline parameter is not specified the rtems_fb_default_mode variable content is tested (see doc below). Command line option has higher priority. rtems_fb_default_mode is probed only if cmdline "--video=" is not specified at all.

If neither of the above options is specified the driver is not initialized.

Variable Documentation

◆ rtems_fb_default_mode

const char* const rtems_fb_default_mode

Allows to enable initialization of VESA real mode driver from an application by setting the value of this variable to non null value in user's module. The value of this variable will be then updated when linked with application's object.

Further the value should point to string in the following format: "<resX>x<resY>[-<bpp>]" - e.g. "1024x768-32" "auto" - try EDID to find mode that fits the display attached best "none" / "off" - do not initialize the driver the given parameters are used if applicable.

Command line argument "--video=" has priority over this string.
