Multiple monitors for imx6dl

Mihan — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 04:03:13 GMT

Hi everyone

I want to use LVDS and HDMI to display at the same time on imx6dl ( kernel 4.1.15 with Xserver (X11))

First the i2c for HDMI address is

root@imx6qsabresd:~# i2cdetect -y -r 2
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: 30 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3a -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: UU -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

The setting on device tree

#imx6qdl-sabresd.dtsi
&i2c3 {
clock-frequency = <100000>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_i2c3>;
status = "okay";
hdmi: edid@50 {
compatible = "fsl,imx6-hdmi-i2c";
reg = <0x50>;
status = "okay";
};
};

xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "i.MX Accelerated Framebuffer Device"
Driver "vivante"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "vivante_fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "HWcursor" "true"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection

But first I find the "lspci" doesn't work

root@imx6qsabresd:/dev# lspci
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

But I can use HDMI or LVDS independently by set u-boot

#only hdmi
mmc read 0x12000000 0x800 0x5000;mmc read 0x18000000 0x5000 0x800;setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk3p2 rootwait rw video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off;bootz 0x12000000 - 0x18000000
#only lvds
mmc read 0x12000000 0x800 0x5000;mmc read 0x18000000 0x5000 0x800;setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk3p2 rootwait rw video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,1024x768M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off;bootz 0x12000000 - 0x18000000

It seems to work if uses them at the same time.

mmc read 0x12000000 0x800 0x5000;mmc read 0x18000000 0x5000 0x800;setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk3p2 rootwait rw video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,1024x768M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32;bootz 0x12000000 - 0x18000000
# then I set the fb2 on ?
echo 0 >/sys/class/graphics/fb2/blank

But I don't know how to run my program on the second screen. Also I can not to check the second screen by Qt function:

qApp->desktop()->screenCount(); //just only 1 screen it returns.

It doesn't seem to work that setting the option in "xorg.conf".

What should I do?

Hi all

Now I can use two screens at the same time by setting `xorg.conf` following iMX6-Dual Display with vivante and X11(xserver) only one is possible with acceleration, How to use another without acceleration ?.

But now my touchscreen can not only use on the first screen.

And I found the screen just only screen 0 (name: DISP3 BG)

root@imx6qsabresd:/etc# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 240 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192

I know how to set the "map-to-output" Using a touchscreen in a multi-head setup

But there is only one screen (xrandr shown).

What should I do?

what do you mean “But now my touchscreen can not only use on the first screen”， do you mean your touchscreen can only use on the first screen? so now you can enable dual display, but only one display can use touchscreen, you want to enable touchscreen on your second display?

Sorry my description is unclear.

Here is my configure file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

Now both monitors can be used (hdmi and lvds), but the touchscreen can control the pointer between different display screens.

I want this touchscreen is just matched with lvds, but not affected other input devices.

PS: the touchscreen configuration may be the default.

Maybe these picture can explain what I want
