HDMI+7" output

[modjo756]

Hi, i have received my 7" touch screen (very nice work raspberry team ) and i'm trying to use a screen under hdmi and the raspberry display at the same time. For information, i have qt5.5 on my rasp and i can launch an application on the 7" screen (eglfs). I can launch (in the same time) a film with omxplayer on the hdmi, works fine, with this :

Code: Select all

# omxplayer --display=5 video.mkv

But i would like to launch another application on the hdmi screen. I tried this :

Code: Select all

# ./qtApp --display=5

But my "qtApp" is launched on the 7" lcd ! Do you know if it possible (and the mean to do that), to launch my qtApp on the HDMI please ?

When you say eglfs, it sounds like the qt library may be accessing EGL directly which would mean it would be supplying a display number to the dispmanx_display_open function this is the thing you need to change to move the EGL overlay to the LCD.

Is it possible to drive official DSI connected Touchscreen an HDMI Output at same time ?

What config adaptions have to be done?

hi gsh, could you precise your post please ? How i can use this function in a shell or script to launch my app (egl) on a specific screen (hdmi and dsi) please ?

You need to modify the code to achieve this, there is no shell or script thing that can be done

would it be a task for new Firmware release to switch from DSI to HDMI Mode ?(as like as an ThinkPad Fn + F7 key ?)

I really need your input in this matter. You are saying that it is possible to play videos through hdmi while you have the 7" lcd connected through spi??? You are saying this is possible while using omxplayer?? please let me know this is very important for a project I am working on right now. where I want to choose a video from my spi screen and play it on my hdmi screen. thanks a lot!!!!

It is possible for applications that support output redirection :

PS it used the DSI port, not SPI
