Expansion Board doubt

Hello,
  I am sorry if this is a double post. I am not sure if my first mail was sent.. I am very new to Gumstix and embedded environment. So please dont mind if my question is ridiculous. My requirements are that i need a Touchscreen LCD for getting inputs and also need a HDMI port for displaying output. I probably going to use Overo COM. But i find that both these functionalities are not available in a single expansion board. Each is available in seperate expansion board. LCD is available in PALO and HDMI is available in Tobi. Is it possible to use two expansion board on a single OVERO COM? If not, is there any other way to do this? Thank you..........
 
Thanks,
 Bala

Hi Bala,

 

You won’t be able to run a parallel LCD at the same time as using the DVI/HDMI output from the Overo due to the simple fact, that that they are sharing the same data-interface … I guess this is why you don’t find any boards with both LCD and HDMI. You can have both connected, but only using one at a time, and it requires you to do your own base-board.

 

One other possibility might be to get a SPI based LCD and leaving the display sub-system free for the DVI/HDMI connection, but again I don’t know of any out of the box solution…

 

Hope this answer clarified your question?

  Søren
