The attached document describes how to integrate the souphttpsrc plugin and make it work.

The customer would like to test BT.656 using Test mode. Is it supported? 38.4.3.3 Test mode in RM shows only one CSIx_SENS_CONG setting. Does it mean Test mode support only one as follows? Does Test mode support other settings? CSIx_EXT_VSYNC = 0x1 CSIx_DATA_WIDTH = 0x1 CSIx_SENS_DATA_FORMAT = 0x0 CSIx_PACK_TIGHT = 0x0 CSIx_SENS_PRTCL = 0x1 CSIx_SENS_PIX_CLK_POL = 0x1 CSIx_DATA_POL = 0x0 CSIx_HSYNC_POL = 0x0 CSIx_VSYNC_POL = 0x0 For example, customer want to know if Test mode support  CSIx_SENS_PRTCL=0x2or 0x3 instead of 0x1? customer want to know if Test mode support CSIx_SENS_DATA_FORMAT=0x1or 0x2 instead of 0x0? Answer: CSI CM TEST MODE is working as below: 1,only ungated mode. 2,data width should be configured to 8 3,data format should be configured to rgb888 It cannot be other format such as bt656. It uses CSI1_TST_CTRL register to configure {R,G,B} 24 bit value and taking it as RGB888/YUV444 format for further process.  The generated image size is due to the configured width & height in the registers.

Configuring RedBoot The Redboot configuration is made using a Minicom session that need to be established between host and target through serial port. To have an operational system been executed just on the power on, configure the right for Boot script. The chooses are shown in #Boot Script section. To avoid the start of operational system, power on the board and press CTRL-C immediately. Wait until RedBoot> prompt appears. Overview The main command for beginners is fconfig -l that can be abbreviated as fc -l This command shows the actual configuration of Redboot, like: RedBoot> fc -l Run script at boot: true Boot script: .. load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage .. exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/n" Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 1 Use BOOTP for network configuration: false Gateway IP address: 10.29.241.254 Local IP address: 10.29.241.6 Local IP address mask: 255.255.254.0 Default server IP address: 10.29.244.99 Board specifics: 0 Console baud rate: 115200 Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false GDB connection port: 9000 Force console for special debug messages: false Network debug at boot time: false RedBoot> Run script at boot: set true for booting with a script or false to always enter on prompt directly Boot script: define what commands to execute as script at the startup Boot script timeout: how many time to wait before execute boot script Use BOOTP for network configuration: set true for getting configuration from BOOTP or false for manually configuring gateway and IP address Gateway IP address: The IP address of the gateway Local IP address: The board IP address Local IP address mask: The board IP mask address Default server IP address: The host IP address when NFS and TFTP server are running Configuring Network Execute the command to configure network parameters: RedBoot> fc This step guarantee the possibilities to load images from some server previously connected and configured. For Use BOOTP for network configuration: answer false. For Gateway IP address: type the gateway IP address of your network; For Local IP address: type an IP address to your board, it needs to be a valid IP in your network; For Local IP address mask: type the IP mask address; For Default server IP address: type the IP of your host server where are running TFTP and NFS. Pay special attencion for Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)?. Answer y to have your configuration saved in the flash. To verify if your configuration is working use ping, be patient this command is very slow: RedBoot> ping -h 10.29.244.99 Network PING - from 10.29.241.6 to 10.29.244.99 PING - received 10 of 10 expected Use the "-n" option to change the number of pings and the "-r" option to speed things up, such as: ping -n 3 -h 10.29.244.99 -r 10. The boot script configuration is done in the next section. Boot Script NFS Boot In NFS Boot mode, a kernel image and a root file system image are loaded from a configured server through TFTP and NFS that can be executed doing the development more easy. To configure RedBoot for NFS Boot reset the board and press CTRL-C immediately. In a Minicom session type fc to modify the configuration boot. Enter the script boot below RedBoot> fc Run script at boot: true Boot script: Enter script, terminate with empty line >> load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage >>> exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.29.244.99:/tftpboot/rootfs init=/linuxrc ip=10.29.241.6:10.29.244.99" >> Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 1 Use BOOTP for network configuration: false Gateway IP address: 10.29.241.254 Local IP address: 10.29.241.6 Local IP address mask: 255.255.254.0 Default server IP address: 10.29.244.99 Board specifics: 0 Console baud rate: 115200 Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false GDB connection port: 9000 Force console for special debug messages: false Network debug at boot time: false Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y ...

The path /tftpboot/ltib indicates the path that should be exported in the host machine. (It's the path in the /etc/exports) 10.29.244.99 is the host IP address 10.29.241.6 is the target IP address Flash Boot For flash boot the Boot Script differs a little bit: fis init kernel exec -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=none" The value for root can be different for each board type.

Freescale's PF0100 PMIC should have VDDIO power tied to the same supply as the associated I2C supply on MX6. There is a momentary on-chip sneak path on power-up if VDDIO is wired per the i.MX6 SABRE-AI automotive development platform. As a result, I2C power rail P3V3_DELAYED rises prematurely due to backfeed from P3V3 through the I2C port. Note that on SABRE-AI, P3V3 powers up before P3V3_DELAYED. Existing SABRE-AI design: PF0100 VDDIO is wired to P3V3. Corrective action for mass production: Wire PF0100 VDDIO to P3V3_DELAYED; same supply as the associated I2C supplies on MX6 (NVCC_EIM0 and NVCC_GPIO). Laboratory results attached.

Display on LVDS0 or LVDS1 is normal, but some customer need  larger screen and they need the dual LVDS work on the same time. In another word, it is to use the dual 8 connection. Here I give the simple introduction on this. Environment Board: MCIMX6Q-SDP (Or the board customer design) BSP:  Linux or Android BSP provided by Freescale Screen: M190PW01-V8 19(Take this as example) Steps: 1\ Hardware connection Make sure the hardware connection is right. The 4 pairs of difference signals on both LVDS0 and LVDS1 work, but in our reference board MCIMX6Q-SDP only 3 pairs of difference signals work. To make this screen working well the connection must be proper connect. Take the screen M190PW01-V8 19 as a example, the connection is as follow: 2\ Software modify Here we can know the screen works on the RGB24 mode not the RGB666, as the connection is already right. So the next step is to modify the code. As customers use differently screens, they have to porting the screen driver first.  About porting customers need to modify the  ldb.c  according to the datasheet of the screen in BSP. The parameters and timing should be set right.  Also the board.c need to be modified, RGB24 mode should also be set. About the porting Lvds screen steps, details you can refer to the Porting LVDS LCD With Low Resolution to i.MX6  in our community. 3\ Command special in u-boot After porting success the LVDS  and build the BSP. The run the images built on the board then boot up the board. In the u-boot the command should be set, about the display section is : video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-1080P60,if=RGB24 ldb=spl0. The default BSP provided by Freescale is support dual LVDS display, but the display mode should be right so it can work well. Hope this can give some help to you.

Question: How to enable touch functions on LVDS1/SabreAI base board? what should be soldered in order to connect the signals to i2c what to add in the Linux kernel (board-mx6q_sabreauto.c) BTW.: Why did we leave these disconnected? Is there any conflict on i2c? Answer: You can mount R305 and R306 to support touch on LVDS1, no code modification was needed. The only limitation is that the two LVDS's touch can't be connected to same I2C port, because they are using the same I2C address. Question: How is this working because the touch interrupt signal from LVDS1 called LCD1_TOUCH_INT_B is connected to pin21 on J44 on base board which is left floating (TP1) on CPU card P1A connector? Are both LVDS needed to work in the same time. Answer: That's the problem, the LVDS1 touch interrupt pin hasn't been connected to IMX6 CPU. Maybe you can use the SabreSD board, the two touch are ready on that board.
