Virtualization with trustzone into mx53

Thu Jan 23 10:55:25 CET 2014

Hi Pablo,

the i.MX53 framebuffer driver does't detect your current display setup
automatically. It only checks whether it's running on top of i.MX53
Quickstart board, or the i.MX53 SABRE tablet. When running on the first
one, it assumes you've a connected LCD display (MCIMX28LCD), and when
running on the tablet it uses the tablet screen.

I assume you're using the Quickstart board? Do you use Genode's current
staging, or master branch?

Regards
Stefan
