Question about HDMI support in U-Boot for iMX8MQGreetings,
we are working with customized board based on iMX8MQ and trying to make HDMI work in U-Boot on it. We are talking about HDMI from SOC, without MIPI-DSI to HDMI bridge.
We are using the following U-Boot version from NXP (customers request): lf_v2022.04, tag: lf-6.1.1-1.0.0.
The problem is that HDMI does not work out of box in U-Boot and we do not have an EVK board from NXP to check whether this functionality is supported at all.
Plus we can't find an answer to this question in the official documentation from NXP.
But we've found a few similar topics for iMX8MP SoCs where it's clearly stated that HDMI is not supported in U-Boot at the moment:
Now we just guess that HMDI implementation may be very similar on iMX8MP and iMX8MQ, so we shouldn't spend time attempting to make HDMI work in U-Boot.
If possible, could you please clarify whether the HDMI video output is supported on reference EVK design with reference software from NXP?
Best regards,
Mikhail Vanyulin.
Re: Question about HDMI support in U-Boot for iMX8MQHello @Bio_TICFSL,
thanks for your feedback!
The instructions under your link are for adjustment of video modes for the Linux kernel via U-Boot cmdline. We were not aware that it's possible to adjust corresponding nodes in device tree on the fly - thanks for sharing this knowledge.
But our problem was different - the HDMI video output did not work in U-boot on our iMX8MQ board out of box itself. Nevertheless we found the root cause - the HDMI video output started to work on our side when we loaded U-Boot binary from eMMC storage (instead of using serial download). At the moment we can't explain why there is such different in the behavior of the same U-Boot binary when it's loaded via serial. We are investigating this now. But we guess that there's some problem with memory mapping in our U-Boot, as other functionality (access to FPGA via I2C) also stops working when the U-Boot binary is loaded over serial.
Once again, thanks a lot for your help. Feel free to close this issue now.
Best regards,
Mikhail Vanyulin.
