For details on errata, including status information, refer to the Errata document
usually located at the following Web address:
www.intel.com/design/intarch/specupdt/309380.htm
or available to download with this release.
Getting Started
===============
The first step is to install the CED release. The setup and CED utility
currently need a Windows (XP, XPe, etc.) environment in which to operate.
Simply click on the release to run the setup. Default directory is:
\IEGD\IEGD_x_x_x
where x_x_x is the version number and release type (Gold, hot-fix, beta, EC,
etc.)
New versions will install in their own directory and do not disturb any
existing CED installations so you can switch between versions as needed.
Once installed, you need only switch to the folder and click on the file:
iegd-ced.exe
which will run the CED utility.
NOTE: Only one iteration of CED should be run at any time and as such the
program uses a semaphore lock file to prevent multiple versions from
being run at the same time. If you receive an error indicating that
another instance of CED is running yet no other copies are running,
then you can clear the improper lock by going into the WORKSPACE
folder in the version of CED you are attempting to run and delete
the file named ".lock" which will clear the lock.
Please see the IEGD User's Guide for your release for detailed configuration
instructions.
=====
VBIOS
=====
VBIOS System Requirements
=========================
The VBIOS can be built on a host system and moved to the target system. The
host system should have installed a 32-bit Windows operating system with the
capability to execute DOS commands from a command line window.
The Target system should have DOS installed. Supported DOS versions are MS-DOS*
6.22, MS-DOS 7.1 (from Windows 98), or IBM PC DOS 2000*.
The Target system should contain a minimum of 64MB of RAM.
VBIOS Files
===========
The individual install file (for manual access/configuration) is found
under the IEGD install directory in \plugins\com.intel.iegd.drivers.xxx\vbios
folder (where xxx represents the release version)
The following describes the files used for building the VBIOS for each
supported platform, where zzz indicates the chipset for which to build the
specific Option ROM or TSR.

/Utilities/vbebat02.exe VESA mode acceptance test, for diagnostic purposes
/Utilities/vga00.exe Basic mode diagnostic test
VBIOS: Building the VBIOS
=========================
The Intel Embedded VBIOS should be built using the CED utility. The VBIOS
is built based on settings in CED configuration. When directed to do so,
CED will automatically build both the VGA.BIN ROM image and a TSR.EXE based
on your CED settings. These files are ready to use directly out of the CED.
Output will be found under the \workspace folder based on the chipset(s)
you built. Details are provided in the User's Guide and
in the CED online help.
The Intel Embedded VBIOS may no longer be build manually using command line
utilities.
VBIOS: Build Prerequisites
--------------------------
Before building your VBIOS in the CED, you must set up your environment with
the Open Watcom 16-bit compiler.
The CED relies on the Open Watcom C/C++ compiler to
be able to build a 16-bit DOS binary required for the BIOS. The VBIOS has been
tested with version 1.3 of the Open Watcom compiler. The latest version can be
downloaded from the following location:
http://www.openwatcom.com
You must set up the PATH in DOS to be able to execute the Watcom compiler. The
directories for the ml.exe and nmake.exe programs should be included in the
execution path variable in your DOS environment.
VBIOS: TSR and Option ROM
-------------------------
The TSR.exe (Terminate and Stay Resident) executable is useful for testing you
VBIOS build before merging the option ROM with your system firmware. This
program can be copied to the target machine. To run the TSR, boot the target machine
with DOS, and then run the TSR.exe from the DOS command line.
The CED also creates a VGA.bin file, which is the Option ROM which must be
merged with your system firmware. Contact your firmware provider for instructions
on merging option ROMs with the system firmware.
End VBIOS

Linux: Installation
===================
Please see the IEGD User's Guide for more detailed installation instructions.
Note: Default installation locations can vary so be sure to check your
system for the proper path.
This is an overview of the general install steps- the UG may contain
specific instructions for your particular Linux distribution:
1) Copy the driver binary (iegd_drv.o) to the X server's modules/driver
directory. The default installation location is
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers.
2) Copy the necessary port driver files (*.so files) into X server's modules
directory. The default installation location is /usr/X11R6/lib/modules.
Once copying the required port drivers, specify them in "PortDrivers"
option in the Device section of config file. For more information,
look for option "PortDrivers" in the man page.
3) Copy the driver man page to the X server's man/man4 directory. The default
installation location is /usr/X11R6/man/man4.
4) Modify your X server config file to include a device section for this driver.
See the man page for details on the configuration options and example
usage.
The default location for the config file is /etc/X11
5) Copy the escape client libraries libXiegd_escape.a and
libXiegd_escape.so.1.0 to the X server's library directory.
Create symbolic links for additional names:
ln -s libXiegd_escape.so.1.0 libXiegd_escape.so
ln -s libXiegd_escape.so.1.0 libXiegd_escape.so.1
The default installation location is /usr/X11R6/lib.
6) Copy the driver intel_escape.h include file to the X server's
include/extensions directory. The default installation location is
/usr/X11R6/include/X11.
7) Copy the driver escape man page to the X server's man directory.
Linux: Patch /IKM Information
=============================
Additional kernel changesare needed for the GART driver to support the
Intel(R) Embedded Graphics X display driver. This may be in the form of
a patch, or may be a new GART interface such as the IEGD Kernel Module (IKM)
which provides the necessary GART and DRM interfaces for IEGD.
Please see the USer's Guide for details.
Patching instructions
---------------------
Patching example using Linux distributions with XFree86:
To patch the Linux 2.4.2x and SuSE kernel with the GART changes:
1. cd into the kernel source directory (e.g., /usr/src/linux-2.x.xxx)
2. run 'patch -p1 < .../IEGD_Patches/Driver/agpgart.patch-2.x.xxx'
To update the kernel:
1. cd to the kernel source directory (e.g., /usr/src/linux-2.x.xxx)
2. run 'make modules'
3. run 'make modules_install'
Patching example for a Linux 2.6.xxx kernel:
1. cd into the kernel source directory (e.g., cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.xxx)
2. Execute the patch command as follows:
patch -p1 < .../IEGD_Patches/Driver/agpgart.patch-2.6.xxxx
To update the kernel:
1. cd to the kernel source directory (e.g., cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.xxx)
2. Since the AGPGART is built-in by default for a specific kernel, it
needs to be configured to be installed as a module before updating
the kernel.
make menuconfig
From the configuration menu, select Device Drivers, then Character
Devices. Scroll down to /dev/agpgart. Change the disposition to M (for
Module). Exit from the configuration menu and save your changes.
3. Execute the make modules command:
make modules
4. Install the modules:
make modules_install
5. Build the kernel
make install
6. Run the following commands for the linux-2.6.xxxx kernel:
modprobe agpgart
modprobe intel-agp
Also, to ensure the modules are loaded after a reboot, add the following
line to the /etc/modprobe.conf file:
alias char-major-10-175 intel-agp
Linux: OpenGL*
==============
OGL Description:
----------------
The OpenGL implementation for IEGD consists of three components.
libGL.so: This is the shared library that implements the OpenGL and
GLX APIs. It is linked by all OpenGL applications.
intel.ko: This is the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM). It is a kernel
module that provides the OpenGL application with the
permissions necessary to directly access the DMA buffers
used by libGL.
X Server: The existing IEGD X server driver has been enhanced to
communicate with libGL.
Installing the IEGD OpenGL driver provides a fully hardware accelerated
implementation of the OpenGL library to applications. This implementation
makes use of a direct rendering technology, which allows the client to
directly write to DMA buffers that are used by the Graphics Hardware.
Due to the use of direct rendering technology, system designers should
take special care to ensure that only trusted clients are allowed to use
the OpenGL library. A malicious application could otherwise use direct
rendering to destabilized the graphics hardware or, in theory, elevate
their permissions on the system.
A system designer can control the access to the direct rendering functionality
by limiting the access to the DRI device file located at:
/dev/dri/card0
The permissions on this device are set by the X-Server using the information
provided in the "DRI" section of the xorg.conf file.
OGL Install:
------------
To install the IEGD libGL onto a system copy the libGL.so binary from the
package to the standard location. Then compile and install the kernel
module from the sources provided. Lastly, enable the DRI option in the
X configuration file. Details can be found in the OGL section of the
IEGD User's Guide.
NOTE: The system likely has a version of libGL already installed.
You may want to make a backup copy of the existing library before
installing the IEGD library.
1) cd IEGD_x_x_Linux/Driver/Xorg-X11R6.8/
2) cp libGL.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
3) ln -sfv /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so
4) ln -sfv /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1
5) ldconfig
6) cd IEGD_Patches/Drm/ (Note: using IKM eliminates the need for this step)
7) make
8) depmod -Ae
9) modprobe intel
Note: to make the DRM always load:
9a) edit modprobe.conf
9b) add the line:
install intel /sbin/modprobe intel_agp; /sbin/modprobe -i intel
10) cd /etc/x11
11) Add the following option to the first IEGD device section in the
xorg.conf file:
Option "DRI" "Yes"
12) restart the X-Server (or reboot)
End Linux

Installation and De-installation
================================
This release contains an installer/uninstaller utility. This utility
does not, however, configure the driver. Please be sure to update your
ssigd.inf file with appropriate settings for your display configuration
prior to installation. The installation program requires specific file
names. If you have a different INF file for driver installation, you
must name it iegd.inf and place it in the Drivers folder prior to
running the installation with SETUP.EXE.
Do not move or alter the directories after unzipping the release
package. The installation utility uses relative path information, and
must be run from the Utilities folder, and also requires the Driver
folder. If the folders are moved or renamed, the installation utility
will not operate properly.
Also, be sure to not install this version of the driver with an
existing installation of a previous version of the driver. The
installation utility will not uninstall previous versions of the Intel
Embedded Graphics Driver, and you must begin from a fresh operating
system installation. Results are unpredictable if you install over a
previous version of the Intel Embedded Graphics Driver.
To run the installation, simply run the Setup.exe program located in
the Utilities folder of the installation. This must run from the
Utilities folder.
To uninstall this version of Intel Embedded Graphics Driver, run the
Setup.exe program.

If taken directly from this release package, the driver binaries need to be
manually integrated into the project workspace on Platform Builder.
In your current project workspace, remove the default display device driver. Add
a new user feature to the project and browse for the extracted ddi_igd.dll file.
When rebuilding your project, Platform Builder will request to select a
replacement display device driver to solve dependencies. Select the NULL(Stub)
display device driver listed from the menu of choices offered.
To install a DVO device port driver, use the platform settings menu and add the
desired port driver DLL into the BIB image.
The contents of the extracted IEGD.reg file must be copied into the project
registry file (project.reg) every time for each new project, or into the
platform registry file (platform.reg) if all following projects on your current
platform will run on the Intel graphics chipset.
Please see the latest version of the IEGD User's Guide for more details.
WCE: Catalogue Feature File
===============================
A Catalogue Feature File has been included for WCE 5.0. In order to
add this driver into the Platform Builder's catalogue feature list, complete the
following steps (these will be automated in future) NOTE: example for WCE5.0:
1. Create the following folder WINCE60 PUBLIC root folder:
C:\WINCE50\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\DISPLAY\INTELIGD
2. Copy ddi_igd.dll, ddi_igd.rel and video.reg into that folder
3. Install igd_Wince50.cec file into Platform Builder by:
- From the File menu, choose Manage Catalog Features.
- Choose Import.
- In the Import Catalog Features dialog box,
choose the .cec file, and then choose Open.
- From the View menu, choose Catalog
to display the Catalog.
WCE: Determining graphics memory size
=========================================
This version supports the static as well as dynamic location
of graphics memory. For static video memory, the two registry
settings ReservedMemoryBase and ReservedMemorySize will
denote where and how big this area will be. This portion
of memory will be taken care off by the built in
GART driver. The size should include the stolen memory
(BIOS setting, if applicable).
If either of these registry settings are zero or not
defined in the registry, then dynamic memory allocation will
be used for video memory management. The usage will be
dependant on system resources. This is in line with
Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology.
For example of static video memory, if the stolen memory
is 8 MB and you want a total of extra 56 MB of graphics
memory for a total of 64 Mbytes of graphics memory you
would want to have these settings: (On a 128MB machine)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Intel]
"ReservedMemoryBase"=dword:4000000
"ReservedMemorySize"=dword:4000000
Which means that the managed graphics memory pool will begin
at physical address 0x4000000 (64MB) and is 64MB of size.
Always remember to include the amount of stolen memory in
this number!
The lower 64MB in the above machine will be used for the NK.bin
and RAM, so therefore you must change your config.bib accordingly
The configuration for the given machine is (debug build):
NK 80220000 01650000 RAMIMAGE
RAM 81700000 02790000 RAM
As you see, the NK.BIN image takes 22.3125 MB and the rest of
41.6875 MB is RAM. The release build should have much smaller
NK area. For better control, users may turn AUTOSIZE=OFF to
calculate exactly where the image and RAM starts and ends followed
by the location of the video memory pool with no possibility of
runtime deviation.
These two settings, together with the registry settings mentioned
above will decide what your machines memory layout will look like.
The example config.bib and the memory configuration settings
in the video.reg are validated settings that can be used for static
video memory of 16MB in size starting from the 48MB address, thus
including the stolen memory.
WCE: Framebuffer and video surface size
===========================================
2 more optional registry settings are available to
limit the Framebuffer size of the display driver and
the total size of off-screen video surfaces.
The MaxFbSize registry entry will control the maximum
size of the framebuffer only. Actual usage will depend
on the mode being used.
The PageReqLimit registry entry will control the total
size in pages (4K) of all video surfaces, buffers allocated
for any use. Both of these registry configurations apply
to both the static as well as dynamic video memory management
explained in the previous section. The default below indicates
that a maximum of 2MB's are used for the framebuffer and
a maximum of 16MB's are permitted for all off-screen video
surface allocations.
"MaxFbSize"=dword:200000
"PageReqLimit"=dword:1000
In the case of Windows CE, because the OS does not allow
for dynamically setting the framebuffer size, the MaxFbSize
can be changed to match the mode setting being used in order
to minimize on video memory wastage. The following are
different suggested values for MaxFbSize for different display
modes. These values have not been validated. Note that 640X480
is calculated as 640X512 and 800X600 is calculated as 800X768
for stride alignment purposes.
640X512X16 = A0000
640X512X24 = F0000
640X512X32 = 140000
800X768X16 = 12C000
800X768X24 = 1C2000
800X768X32 = 258000
1024X768X16 = 180000
1024X768X24 = 240000
1024X768X32 = 300000
WCE: Video surface allocation rule
======================================
Another two optional registries entries determine
a minimum width and height dimension that would enable
successful video surface allocations.
In Windows CE GDI, video surface allocations can happen
with a REQUIRE_VIDEO_MEMORY or a PREFER_VIDEO_MEMORY
flag. The following options will force surface
allocations with the PREFER_VIDEO_MEMORY flag to
be allocated in system memory if the width and height
are lower then what is stated in the following entries.
"MinVidSurfX"=dword:10
"MinVidSurfY"=dword:10
In this example, surfaces allocated with the
PREFER_VIDEO_MEMORY where the width and height
are both less than 16 pixels are forced to be
in system memory.
WCE: Escape API
===================
Some escape IOCTL code are exposed to user application space in order to control
non-mode-dependent port device attributes, such as Brightness, Contrast, etc,
raw I2C read/write, and port enable/disable. Please see the separate
"IEGD API" document for details on the functions and their use.
In addition to the above, two Microsoft reserved Windows escape codes are also
supported in this release. They are SETPOWERMANAGEMENT and GETPOWERMANAGEMENT.
However, in the implementation of GETPOWERMANAGEMENT, all power state requests
apart from VideoPowerOn will only equate to powering down of the display ports.
End WCE 5.0/6.0
