Specifying Displays
Display information can be specified on the Linux boot command line. It is not dependant on the source of the Linux image.
If nothing is specified for the display, the settings in the device tree will be used. Add ${displayinfo} to the environment
macro containing bootargs. The specific parameters can be found in the i.MX Linux Release Notes. Below are some
examples of what these might look like.
• U-Boot > setenv displayinfo 'video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24' for an HDMI
display
• U-Boot > setenv displayinfo 'video=mxcfb1:dev=ldb video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,
1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24' for LVDS and HDMI dual displays
• U-Boot > setenv displayinfo 'video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,if=RGB565' for an LCD
• U-Boot > setenv displayinfo 'video=mxcepdcfb:E060SCM,bpp=16
max17135:pass=2,vcom=-2030000' for an EPDC connection
• U-Boot > setenv displayinfo 'video=mxcfb0:mxcfb0:dev=lcd,if=RGB565
video=mxcfb1:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24' for LCD and HDMI dual displays
