Linaro ICS on MX53 QSB with 10.1 LVDS

[YongJunChang]

Hi all,

For a couple of days, I have tried to make this work but no luck so far.

I have a MX53 QSB with 10.1 LVDS, and want to put ICS on it.

First, I built the Linaro 12.04 and flash it on Sa D card. The boot log message says,

[    0.997472] mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: register mxc display driver hdmi

[    1.034704] sii902x 1-0039: cound not find device

[    1.137132] imx-ipuv3 imx-ipuv3.0: Channel already uninitialized 10

So,  I connected a VGA cable of a monitor to the QSB, and I got a ICS homescreen!

After I explored the source tree, I've changed:

/linaro_12.04/kernel/arch/arm/mach-mx5/board-mx53_loco.c

from:

static struct ipuv3_fb_platform_data loco_fb_data[] = {

{  

.disp_dev = "hdmi",  

.interface_pix_fmt = IPU_PIX_FMT_RGB24,  

.mode_str = "1920x1080M@60",  

.default_bpp = 16,  

.int_clk = false,  

},

{  

.disp_dev = "vga",  

.interface_pix_fmt = IPU_PIX_FMT_GBR24,  

.mode_str = "VGA-XGA",  

.default_bpp = 16,  

.int_clk = false,  

},

};

to:

static struct ipuv3_fb_platform_data loco_fb_data[] = {

{ 

.disp_dev = "ldb", 

.interface_pix_fmt = IPU_PIX_FMT_LVDS666, 

.mode_str = "LDB-XGA", 

.default_bpp = 16, 

.int_clk = false, 

},

{ 

.disp_dev = "vga", 

.interface_pix_fmt = IPU_PIX_FMT_GBR24, 

.mode_str = "VGA-XGA", 

.default_bpp = 16, 

.int_clk = false, 

},

};

FYI, this change is based on the following:

linaro_12.04/kernel/drivers/video/mxc/ldb.c

static struct fb_videomode ldb_modedb[] = {  

{  

"LDB-XGA", 60, 1024, 768, 15385,  

220, 40,  

21, 7,  

60, 10,  

0,  

FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED,  

FB_MODE_IS_DETAILED,},  

{  

"LDB-1080P60", 60, 1920, 1080, 7692,  

100, 40,  

30, 3,  

10, 2,  

0,  

FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED,  

FB_MODE_IS_DETAILED,},

};

Now I got the message that loading driver is successful;

[    0.987209] mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: register mxc display driver ldb

[    0.987432] _regulator_get: get() with no identifier

[    1.092153] imx-ipuv3 imx-ipuv3.0: Channel already uninitialized 7

I also changed the bootargs by modifying 'linaro-image-tools' as follows:

video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,ldb=sin0,if=LVDS666

But nothing shows up on the LVDS LCD.

On the second try, I modified '.int_clk=false' to '.int_clk=true', and I have these messages:

[    0.968804] mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: register mxc display driver ldb

[    0.969013] _regulator_get: get() with no identifier

[    0.969378] mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.1: register mxc display driver vga

[    0.969668] _regulator_get: get() with no identifier

and keep getting 'untracked pid' messages as well

[    4.800121] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p5): recovery complete

How can I make this work? Any help will be appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Thanks for your response.

But the kernel itself is not coming up hence logcat -v a cannot be executed as no shell is available.

Better you can type the logcat -v time and paste the output, it will help us to know what is the issue in your image.

Hello Yong,

I am trying to run the linaro 12.04 on QSB board. The linaro prebuilt images works perfectly ok.

But the build images does not work.

It hangs at "Uncompressing Kernel ..."

Did you also faced the same problem on 12.04 linaro release

With Regards,

Prashant
