Hello,
I'am an electronician , trying to use linux ;-)
I'am almost new to buildroot and linux...
So please tell me if here is not the right place for this kind of questions.
I'am trying to port a QT application to a new board using an AT91SAM9263
I use buildroot to generate toolchain (GCC 4.6.3 + uclibc) and rootfs
I prefer generate AT91loader/U-BOOT/kernel directly in each git tree using
the same compiler !
attach to this board there is 4.3 inch LCD
I test frame buffer using QT framebuffer test application or fb-test-app
(https://github.com/prpplague/fb-test-app)
and it's work OK
THe problem is whith my QT application
the colors displayed are really bad !
and text 'contour' is really not clear like if another color was around text
(sorry for my english here ;-)
the only thing I've seen are warnings when compiling QT
something like "invalid cast, use -Wcast-align "
any advice is welcome !
herv?.

Hi Herv?,
probably you have some misconfiguration with the color depth of you
framebuffer, and in your qt config. You can check your framebuffer
settings probably at the kernel boot command line, and you can check the
QT color depth setting in the
Location:
? -> Package Selection for the target
? -> Graphic libraries and applications (graphic/text)
? -> Qt (BR2_PACKAGE_QT [=y])
? -> Gui Module (BR2_PACKAGE_QT_GUI_MODULE [=y])
? -> Pixel depths
in your Buildroot menuconfig. Otherwise it's strange it's good with the
testapp. Did you compiled this framebuffer test app yourself?

Hi zoltan
yes I'have compiled testapp and QT sample framebuffer app myself !
( just running the right qMake and then make with the right compiler :-)
running it I have 3 beautifuls rectangles Red,gree,blue on my LCD !
and this output on my console
# ./framebuffer
The framebuffer device was opened successfully.
Fixed screen info:
id:
smem_start: 0x23940000
smem_len: 261120
type: 0
type_aux: 0
visual: 2
xpanstep: 0
ypanstep: 1
ywrapstep: 0
line_length: 960
mmio_start: 0x700000
mmio_len: 4096
accel: 0
The framebuffer device was mapped to memory successfully.
Successfully switched to graphics mode.
Variable screen info:
xres: 480
yres: 272
xres_virtual: 480
yres_virtual: 272
yoffset: 0
xoffset: 0
bits_per_pixel: 16

red: offset: 0, length: 5, msb_right: 0
green: offset: 5, length: 6, msb_right: 0

sync: 3
vmode: 0
Frame Buffer Performance test...
Average: 6083 usecs
Bandwidth: 40.938 MByte/Sec
Max. FPS: 164.393 fps
Will draw 3 rectangles on the screen,
they should be colored red, green and blue (in that order).
Done.
#
so I suppose bit per pixels for frame buffer is 16 !
else how to check the frame buffer configuration ?
in buildroot
-> Package Selection for the target
? -> Graphic libraries and applications (graphic/text)
? -> Qt (BR2_PACKAGE_QT [=y])
? -> Gui Module (BR2_PACKAGE_QT_GUI_MODULE [=y])
? -> Pixel depths selected 8/15/16
must I only select 16 ?
thanks for your help !
herv?.

Yes, it seems your framebuffer is set to 16 pixel colordepth, so either
set your framebuffer's color depth to the value you used when compiled
Qt (you have to modify the kernel boot command line for that in your
U-Boot config, and this is the place well you can check it as well), or
set it to 16 in your Qt configuration, and recompile Qt. The first
solution is quicker ;)
Otherwise if you check the examples/qws/framebuffer/main.c file
in your Qt source tree, then you see, that this test app is checking the
color depth of the framebuffer, and uses a color palette according to
the framebuffer's set value. You might want to set up a similar
mechanism in your code, if you want to use it in different environments.
Good luck
