Im wanting to learn about programming the mpeg unit. I've dwnloaded the code tree and made it work, I can build kernels and they work. I patched the tree using all the patches off the empeg sight. While i was applying the patches I skimmed through them because I was inerested in seeing what was added, I saw something that puzzled me in the betea3-beta7 upgrade. Theres a lot of code in there tahts labelled 'composite'. It's not enabled in the standard kernel, if I enable it does it make video come out somewhere? Thanks for answering my questions anyone who knows.

There's no video output on the player, so the word "Composite" must have another meaning in that context. Don't know what it is.

Could it be code for a different product still in the source tree for beta 7?

It's a third party project which cannot be discussed (nothing to do with empeg/SB). Of course any code in the kernel is open and you can make of it what you will.

Hi Tony.

From the looks of the source, this is indeed a composite video board. At least it says composite and talks about empeg screen width and height, pixels and so on. I just can't make out why there is some mention of IDE in some variable (or was it function?) named.

cu,
sven

I guess it is attached as an IDE device and accessed that way. There is code above it for a LCD on IDE as well...

Because I'm bad at grammar...
The project has nothing to do with Empeg/SB, or
The code snippits have nothing to do with the Empeg/SB?

Me.

The project has nothing to do with us, although the code is written by some of the usual suspects (in personal time).
