Dual displays on i.MX Solo

Hi, we're looking at connecting 2 Displays (RGB and LVDS) to an i.MX6 Solo which only has 1 IPU. For both displays we prefer each to have distinct background and foreground planes automatically combined by the Display Processor. Now it seems the Display Processor only supports one so-called synchronous flow, and if understood correctly the secondary flow channels (idmac 24+29) can only be used for asynchronous(smart?) displays.

First question is if LVDS/RGB Displays are considered synchronous displays?

And if so is it correct that one IPU only supports plane combining to one of them?

Hi jwgnielander


The current IPU driver for i.MX6Solo/Dual light only supports 2 frames on one display and 1 frame on a secondary display.

You can try to add a new framebuffer and make the combine process on IC or on VDIC modules. (VDIC is better because it reaches 240MP/sec against 40MP/sec on IC).


LVDS and RGB (VGA output) are considered synchronous displays.
