Hi everybody, We ordered a Gumstix IronSTORM COM and a Pinto-TH board recently, and I have a few questions. The first one: how do we get video from these things? Is the Pinto-TH board capable of displaying video? I know you can buy a board with an LCD display preinstalled, but they are too big for our use. Second: Do any of these products listed have a touch screen controller? If we wanted to hook up a touch screen, what additional hardware is required? Thanks. |

Hi Peter, A summit expansion board<http://www.roadnarrows.com/store/gumstix-summit-expansion-board.html>is the smallest board with HDMI out. This allows you to connect the gumstix to a full-sized monitor. The smallest expansion board with built-in support for a touchscreen is the Palo35 <http://www.roadnarrows.com/store/overo-palo35-expansion-board.html> expansion board, which supports a 3.5" LCD touchscreen. If you don't require a monitor/touchscreen in the end product, you might consider trying to view the video over a network connection (e.g. using gstreamer). There are good instructions for this by Scott Ellis over at JumpNowTek.com<http://jumpnowtek.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81:gumstix-dsp-gstreamer&catid=35:gumstix&Itemid=67>, but I think they'll need some modification for the new processors on the Overo IronSTORM COMs (maybe a different set of TI_cgt for the new DSP) /daniel RoadNarrows LLC <http://roadnarrows.com> Loveland CO 80537 On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Peter <pg...@me...> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > We ordered a Gumstix IronSTORM COM and a Pinto-TH board recently, and I > have a few questions. > > The first one: how do we get video from these things?

I'm afraid I am not sure what you mean by maxim and tshark. What about the J5 connector? It says 27-pin something connection. Would I be able to hook up a display to that and use that as the display connector? -- View this message in context: http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/Pinto-TH-with-OVERO-IronSTORM-COM-How-do-we-get-video-from-this-thing-tp4551917p4572540.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

That and the HDMI on summit made a 15" touch that worked well. I did the work for a company (contract) and no longer have all the detail. If you want to go that way mail me and I'll dig out the changes that I did to the (linux standard) hampshire touch controller. They are (by force) GPL so no matter what the company has to say so you may have them. That was the answer to the tshark stuff I posted a while ago. In terms of your subject I guess the answer is 'not with Pinto' Choose ssh or another IO card eg summit or have tty only with the console USB port ... James |

Ok everyone, I am really confused. I have a Gumstix IronSTORM COM and an Pinto-TH board. I want a 2.5" touch screen attached to the Gumstix, and the current expansion boards are too big (3.5" and 4.3"). I do not want to make a board myself for various reasons. So what should I do?

Alright, Since I am probably annoying EVERYONE on this mailing list, I am going to ask one final question and be on my way. Let's assume I had a display with a mini-USB connector. If I plug that display into the Pinto-TH board, would the gumstix be capable of displaying video out via USB? Question, shorter version: Does the gumstix/Pinto-TH have the ability to display video via USB?

I am not aware of any displays which natively accept video over USB. If there were such a thing you'd (I think) have to develop your own software on the gumstix to implement whatever video-over-USB protocol it used. It might be technically possible, but would almost certainly involve significant work. There are 3rd-party USB->DVI converters, but they're bulky in off-the-shelf format, and I have no idea of their linux support.

I'm with Greg, I don't know of any way to stream video directly to a display via USB. You could certainly send video to _another computer_ using gstreamer if you enabled Ethernet over USB, but I guess that's not what you'd really like to do. I hope you're able to find a solution that works for you!

There is a way, in the respect that displays powered via USB exist. However, my understanding is that Gumstix allows for such a thing (e.g doesn't block USB displays). Thanks for your help everyone.

'Course I speak only for my self, but I find your problem and talk about it and solutions of interest and not irritating. This system is linux, so all the answers are linux related. I'm not aware of ant Xorg USB display stuff, although I can't see why it could not be done. A custom USB display is very non trivial, but search around to see if any work has been done eg http://blog.mitechie.com/2011/11/07/mutli-monitor-on-the-go-displaylink-usb-monitor/ Cheers James |

Well thank you. I was reviewing the specs and this is a different question but can be integrated into my previous one. On the IronSTORM COM they have a 27 pin connector, the J5 connector.
