and when i boot this is the output message in file bootOutput

it just stops and the screen remains blank..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!

Hi,

Which type of LCD display you are using ?:smileyinfo:

LVDS type or RGB type or HDMI ? please specify its details, resolution and etc...

And just try to change your boot argument(below)

bootargs=console=ttymxc3,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off fbmem=10M vmalloc=400M

to

bootargs=console=ttymxc3,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-WVGA,if=RGB666 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off fbmem=28M vmalloc=400M androidboot.console=ttymxc1 androidboot.hardware=freescale mem=1024M

(assume that you are using LVDS type 7 inch display) :smileyinfo:

Just try it out, may it will help you.

hi Jaymin,

so i changed thet booatargs...like so:

Environment size: 1966/131068 bytes

MX6 F+S U-Boot > setenv bootargs console=ttymxc3,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-WVGA,if=RGB666 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off fbmem=28M vmalloc=400M androidboot.console=ttymxc1 androidboot.hardware=freescale mem=1024M

MX6 F+S U-Boot > saveenv

Starting kernel ...

but now its frozen onto the Starting kernel bit and wont go anyfurther....

also the specs for the monitor are correct lvds type 7 !

Thanks for your help, but any other suggestions to this? i am completely stuck!!

Thanks Jonny

Hello,

Try to change it as below,

setenv bootargs console=ttymxc3,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-WVGA,if=RGB666 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off fbmem=28M vmalloc=400M

hi Jaymin,

so that setenv has allowed the kernel to go back to running...

but then:

DVFS driver module loaded

regulator_init_complete: VDDD: incomplete constraints, leaving on

rtc-pcf8563 0-0051: low voltage detected, date/time is not reliable.

rtc-pcf8563 0-0051: retrieved date/time is not valid.

rtc-pcf8563 0-0051: hctosys: invalid date/time

Freeing init memory: 216K

android_work: sent uevent USB_STATE=CONNECTED

it stops after here and i have no output to the screen just blank white...I am building for imx6DL i should have said to the video=mxcfb2:off is not needed, but i have removed it!

Sorry to be a hassle,

Thanks Jonny

Please use   "echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank" in order to unblank the fb0.

Thanks

Saurabh

[jonathansmyth]

just type that into my terminal at which the board is connected?

or where change the bootargs?

[saurabh206]

Hi

Run on terminal.

[jonathansmyth]

hi,

Yes i have ran this on the terminal and rebooted...however still just a blankwhite screen?

thanks Jonny
