[gentoo-embedded] [OT] framebuffer hardware specs - where?

[gentoo-embedded] [OT] framebuffer hardware specs - where?

Hi

I'm planning on building a FPGA based gadget using it's Microblaze IP. And I
would like to have a video output.

There comes the question: how do I implement a video output module so that
it fits in the linux framebuffer specs, or how do I write a driver to be
compatible of the existing framework?

Thank for any tip
Francisco

See /usr/src/linux/drivers/video/* you have plenty of examples there.
Also look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/*

TLDP might also have useful documentation.
