Write not working in framebuffer on which mipi oled connects

kunalkulshresth — Wed, 03 May 2017 12:41:37 GMT

Dear Team,

While trying to interface Oled over Mipi DSI in iMX6DL board, I could see the driver code being executed because it is showing stable backlight now when it executes SLEEP_OUT command. So after it comes out of sleep, I try to write something to framebuffer.

But, to my surprise, I am not able to write anything to framebuffer. ie. I used this command:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0 bs=3200 count=400

and was expecting some pixels to change color etc. but nothing changes. I also used a cross compiled app to write to fb0 on which mipi_dsi is supposed to have been interfaced. I am not sure whether I need to do some more changes in driver to make sure fb connects to the oled.

Anybody faced such kind of issues or with any clues will help me.

Thanks and regards,

Kunal

Hi Kunal

one can try procedure described in sect.6.5.1 Framebuffer Tests attached Linux Manual

Hi Igor,

Sure, I tried these tests. The problem is that nothing actually affects a change on the mipi dsi display. I assume the fb0 has been associated with the mipi_dsi driver so it could have produced an effect when I write something on fb0, but it does not.

I use fbset command to see the display properties (timing params) are well picked up and mipi display does show backlight when it comes out of sleep mode. Any idea how to debug fb0 association with mipi_dsi driver?

Thanks and regards,

Kunal

Hi Kunal

one can check "mxcfb*" aliases in dts file.

Hi Igor,

So, for me only enabled FBs are fb0 and fb1. And fbset gives me appropriate information for fb0 i.e.

# fbset –fb /dev/fb0

mode “400x400-60”

# D: 12.556 MHz, H: 26.158 kHz, V: 59.996 Hz

geometry 400 400 400 400 32

timings 79643 40 20 12 20 20 4

rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24

endmode

So I was of understanding that fb0 should be good to write data on. Fb2 is anyways not enabled. But I tried changing mxcfb3: fb@2 to mxcfb3:fb@0 which also did not help. Is it like it is doubtful that fb0 is enabled instead of fb2 when we see dtsi? Attached are the logs (with mxcfb3:fb@2).
