MI FB API

Version 2.04

1. Overview

As shown below, the FB APIs are divided into several types.

1.1. File Operation Type

This type provides interfaces to operation of SigmaStar FB. By calling the interfaces, you can manipulate the overlay as you do with file operation. These interfaces are standard interfaces provided by Linux, offering such functions as open, close, write, read and lseek, etc. Description of these standard interfaces will not be given here in this document.

1.2. Memory Map Type

This type provides an interfaces to map physical memory to the user's virtual memory space. These interfaces are standard interfaces provided by Linux, offering such functions as mmap and munmap, etc. Description of these standard interfaces will not be given here in this document.

1.3. Memory Control and Status Query Type

This type provides interfaces to set properties like pixel format and color depth. These interfaces are standard interfaces provided by Linux, and are used quite frequently. We will give a brief account of these interfaces in this document.

1.4. Interlayer Effect Control and Status Query Type

The SigmaStar FB can manage multiple graphic overlay. Each layer in the graphic overlay can set attributes including alpha information and display region. These functions are new functions provided by SigmaStar FB, as opposed to Linux framebuffer. In this document, we will concentrate upon these new functions, which are realized by extending the command parameters of the standard Linux Framebuffer ioctl function.

The SigmaStar FB user interface is implemented in the form of ioctl, as illustrated below:

int ioctl(int fd,

unsigned long cmd,

……

);

This function is a Linux standard interface equipped with variable parameters. For SigmaStar FB, however, only three parameters are required. Therefore, the syntax would be:

int ioctl (int fd,

unsigned long cmd,

CMD_DATA_TYPE *cmddata);

Wherein, CMD_DATA_TYPE will vary with the parameter cmd. Detailed descriptions of the three parameters are provided in the table below:

Table 1-1: Parameters of ioctl Function

    bAlphaEnable Alpha overlay enable, default is 1
    bAlphaChannel Alpha channel enable, default is 0
    bAlphaInvert Alpha invert flag, used to that 0 is opaque in argb1555 format.
    u8Alpha0 Alpha0 value. Range: 0～255, default is 255. In RGB1:5:5:5 format, when the most significant bit is 0, this value will be chosen as the Alpha overlay value.
    u8Alpha1 Alpha1 value. Range: 0～255, default is 255. In RGB1:5:5:5 format, when the most significant bit is 1, this value will be chosen as the Alpha overlay value.
    u8GlobalAlpha Global Alpha value. Range: 0～255, default is 255. Works when Alpha channel is enabled.
    u8Reserved Reserved

  • Note

    Alpha0 just for cursor, alpha0 is 0 for UI.

    Alpha overlay is implemented only when Alpha overlay function is enabled. Otherwise, the upper layer overlay will replace the lower layer overlay.

    The formula for Alpha overlay value calculation can be divided into the following cases:

    • When Alpha channel is enabled, global Alpha will be included in the overlay.

      • If global Alpha and pixel Alpha overlay are not supported, the Alpha overlay value is calculated as: u8GlobalAlpha

      • If global Alpha and pixel Alpha overlay are supported, the Alpha overlay value is calculated as: u8GlobalAlpha * pixel

    • When Alpha channel is not enabled, the Alpha overlay value is equal to the pixel Alpha value, that is: pixel
