imx6 sabrelite yocto fsl-image-gui and hdmi

[varsmolta]

I built the fsl-image-gui yocto image from the directions here for the sabrelite board:

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-94024

I am able to bring this up on my i.mx6 sabrelite board. However, I don't see anything on my hdmi display. The display just says "No Signal". According to the startup log, (see below), Xserver has started. So I am hoping to see something on the display. Reason I want the display is to use a usb camera and opencv for face tracking applications.

I took a look at the bootargs argument in u-boot environment variable(see below) and see no mention of video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi. Shouldn't they be there? Also, the boot.scr script is missing but it instead uses a file called imx6q-sabrelite.dtb to boot. Is this where the bootagrs for setting the video output device is located? How do I edit this file?

Much appreciate the help!

ok i got it working!

setting bootargs did not work for some reason. Maybe someone can tell me why? Looking closely at the kernel logs I saw the following:

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

Linux version 3.0.35-2026-geaaf30e-12.09.01+yocto+g0596856 (ashwin@ashwin1) (gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 10 19:43:33 EDT 2013

So the kernel command line argument was not taking the bootargs argument I added. Instead it is taking the mmcargs uboot variable like this:

mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} root=${mmcroot}

So I just did the following in u-boot:

   editenv mmcargs

added the following to the end of the mmcargs variable: 

   video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x720M@60,if=RGB24

   saveenv

   boot

and the qt desktop comes up fine on my hdmi monitor.

Hi varsmolta, I built the image and copy to SD card in board with HDMI monitor. Same problem with you.

Could you tell me how to edit the "U-Boot" settings and where to check the kernel log?

Because I just use bitbake to create the image, I did not see U-Boot.

Sorry ask kinda newb questions

Regards

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

I can't remember exactly I'm afraid. I have a note here that I was using something like this

bootargs=console=ttymxc1 init=/init androidboot.console=ttymxc1 di0_primary video=mxcdi0fb:RGB666,1280x800M@60,bpp=32 pmem=32M,64M fbmem=16M gpu_memory=64M calibrate

Hope it helps. Cheers,

Alex

[AlexJLennon]

Oh - and to edit the uboot settings you'll need to read the manual. It'll be something like:

- view uboot output, probably over a serial link. Depends on your hardware

- it probably auto boots so press a key to break into the boot process

- 'help' will show commands if I recall

- printenv will show all the environment settings

- setenv will set them to what you need. you may need to put the value in quotes to avoid problems with spaces

- save env stores the values

- reset to restart the boot

This looks like it might help. There's lots out there -

Thank you so much for your reply. It really helps.

I will follow your suggestion.

And  one more question, now I dont have a display at my monitor from the board, could I do all of these at my Ubuntu host pc?

Regards

Stefano

Hi,

How to get dual display working with fsl-imge-gui?

[AlexJLennon]

Thanks. I had the same problem with the Sabre board running fsl-image-gui, i.e. no display on HDMI

Changing the mmcargs as you suggest fixes it.

Cheers,

Alex

You're right, the args are taken from the boot method.

Sorry for not giving the right variable name. I am glad you got it right :-)

[varsmolta]

I tried adding the "video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x720M@60,if=RGB24" (got these from here: http://boundarydevices.com/boot-scripts-for-main-line-u-boot-on-i-mx6/) parameter onto bootargs using editenv, but still nothing to display on hdmi. I am already on the meta-freescale mailing list and will repost there. In the meanwhile, has this image been tested with hdmi out by anyone?

Here are the new u-boot variables after I edited them:

[OtavioSalvador]

As Leonardo said, you should to add the "video=" parameter onto bootargs; in the new U-Boot you can use:

editenv bootargs

Add the need changes, press ENTER and:

saveenv

boot

As Fabio said, please join the mailing list so more people can help you.

Regards,

[fabio_estevam]

Yes, please add this "video=" parameter into the kernel command line.

It is better to write to meta-freescale@yoctoproject.org for issues related to meta-fsl-arm layer.

[daiane_angolini]

I took a look at the bootargs argument in u-boot environment variable(see below) and see no mention ofvideo=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi. Shouldn't they be there?

No, the default output video uses to be the LVDS or any LCD. So, please, add the hdmi bootargs and give it a try.

Also, the boot.scr script is missing but it instead uses a file called imx6q-sabrelite.dtb to boot. Is this where the bootagrs for setting the video output device is located? How do I edit this file?

imx6q-sabrelite.dtb will only be necessary for linux mainline, and you´re not using it (I saw on you log that you´re using 3.0.35).

[LeonardoSandova]

Could you add the video parameter to the bootargs variable? One way to do it is

> setenv netargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi'

> save

> boot

OtavioSalvador can help you better on the the questions you posted.
