IMX8M plus 1280*800 resolution

[harshth]

Hello,

I have an imx8m plus (pollux) based board from phytec, and a 10.1" LCD display connected to the board.

When the board boots up, the resolution defaults to 1920*1080, which causes the content on the display to be squished(circles are not perfect, oval shaped.). I would like to know how to change the resolution to 1280*800, where I have observed that there isn't any squishing problem. I am able to achieve this working setup by connecting my laptop to the LCD display and pushing the resolution 1280*800.

Any advice would be appreciated, 

Thank you.

Regards

Did you try to adjust weston configuration?

/etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
[output]

...
size=1280x720

...

and reboot

Hello Mr.Cisse,

Thank you for quick reply.

yes, I have checked. but this yields the same default resolution. 1920*1080

Please find the list of available modes on my board.

Thank you

UPDATE:

I am able to change the resolution by editing the line "mode" under this section as shown.

[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
mode=1280x720@60

changing the parameter "size" as mentioned still has no effect.

Thank you

Hi @harshth,

I hope you are doing well.

One can also specify resolution in the kernel command line.

video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720@60

As the resolution is changed successfully, Please mark this case as solved.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Mr.Vasavada,

The resolution has been changed to 1280x720, but I require 1280x800 which is not present in the list of modes when queried. 

Could you please guide me on how to proceed to add this resolution to my board?

Thank you.

Hi @harshth,

i.MX BSP supports few standard modes by default.

For custom resolution, One needs to add a new pixel clock freq entry in samsung_phy_pll_cfg[] at  /drivers/phy/freescale/phy-fsl-samsung-hdmi.c

Please try adding the below entry.

83500000, {
			0x00, 0xD1, 0x68, 0x58, 0x8D, 0x06, 0x00, 0x40,
			0x4F, 0x30, 0x33, 0x65, 0x10, 0x94, 0x24, 0x80,
			0x6C, 0xF2, 0x67, 0x00, 0x10, 0x85, 0x30, 0x3A,
			0x74, 0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
			0x00, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
			0x00, 0xE0, 0x83, 0x0F, 0x3E, 0xF8, 0x00, 0x00,
		},

I hope it helps!

Hello Mr. Vasavada,

Thank you for your reply.

I have made the changes as mentioned in the appropriate file, additionally I have gone through a few posts in the community related to my request.

1. I have added the 1280*800 resolution in the drm_edid.c file and linked the pixel clock with the same, along with a few other parameters as attached. parameters have been generated by the "cvt" command on ubuntu for 1280*800 resolution. Used the following post as a reference to understand where to add my custom resolution for my IMX8M plus board.
https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/Supported-resolutions-on-IMX8MQ-via-HDMI/td-p/1005057

2. I have added the pixel clock according to the below link at the device tree level. 
https://developer.toradex.com/linux-bsp/application-development/multimedia/display-output-resolution...

3. After completion of the above steps, the board is unable to render my desired resolution.

Please do let me know if there are any dependencies that I have overlooked.

I would like to know, how do i get my custom resolution to also display when i use the command "cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/modes" which displays the list of resolutions supported.

Thank you
