Integrate custom EDID binary to connect through HDMI a Display

[davidgut]

Dear Community,

I am trying to connect a TFT Display to a Wandboard Solo via HDMI. I have all the necessary information from the TFT Display at hand including the EDID binary, unfortunately, I have not been able to make it work.

I tried modifying the xorg.conf file as follows:

Section "Device"
Identifier "i.MX Accelerated Framebuffer Device"
Driver "vivante"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "vivante_fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Option "HWcursor" "false"

Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"      %% Added
Option "IgnoreEDID" "false"                                       %% Added
Option "UseEDID" "true"                                            %% Added
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection

The Wandboard is running on a Yocto image provided by technexion at: ftp.technexion.net/demo_software/WANDBOARD/wandboard-imx6/wandboard-imx6_yocto-2.0_qt5.5_20170508.zi...

I would very greatly appreciate any help!

Best regards,

David

Additional Info:

root@wandboard:/etc/X11# uname -r
4.1.15-134094-gd28f9da-dirty

Hi @davidgut 

I think you can use xrandr to debug the dispaly device.

I see that there is no output in last log ‘starting autohdmi:’

Hi @davidgut 

Is there any kernel error log that you can provide?
