IMX6SLL + IMXEBOOKDC4: Change EPDC resolution

[ekerebel]

Hello,

I received a new panel from EINK (ED060KG2) that I want to test with my IMX6SLL Dev Board + IMXEBOOKDC4. 

I have loaded the .fw that I have received from NXP and entered the following config in UBOOT:

setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} root=${mmcroot} epdc video=mxcepdcfb:ED060KG2C1,bpp=16 max17135:pass=2,vcom=-2560000

The ED060KG2 is a 1440x1072 EPD.

When I launch the test program, the board crashes and reboots.

The framebuffer still indicates a 1024x758 resolution:

root@imx6sllevk:~# fbset -fb /dev/fb2

mode "1024x758-0"
# 0.025 MHz, H: 0.022 kHz, V: 0.029 Hz
geometry 1024 758 1024 1536 16
timings 40000000 12 76 4 5 12 2
accel false
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

When I try to set the resolution of /dev/fb2, the system crashes and reboots.

I am using the provided SDCard with the dev board.

What am I doing wrong?

Disregard my question, I had 2 issues:

1- powering through USB instead of 5V probably caused the crash

2- I had to recompile the mxc_epdc_v2_fb.c in the kernel with a new panel resolution

This is the console

xres and yres are not aligned to the panel resolution

mxc_epdc_fb_test.out crashes at Blank Screen
