SEIKO-WVGA 4.3' Android/Linux Build Problems

CarlIgelstram · ‎06-14-2012

Greetings Everybody,

I just got my hands on a i.mx53 Quickstart board and as I have never developed anything like this I am totally new to this. My goal is to 1)build Android and 2) use the SEIKO-WVGA touch screen.

1) is Complete using the newest Linaro build

2) is a different story. I have tried fiddeling around in the u-boot settings with the below controlls:

First off I am trying all these settings on the Ubuntu that came with the board, I thought It was a good Idea to make that work before I started with my android SD card.

----------->First I tried:

set bootargs_base 'set bootargs console=ttymxc0, 115200${ScreenType}' using {lcd},{SEIKO-WVGA}

This did not work, all I had is allot of multi colored lines, sometimes white, sometimes black, sometimes half-half background.

------->Second I tried:

setenv bootargs_base ‘set bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 video=mxcdi0fb:RGB24,SEIKO-WVGA

which made little progress. I could now see small part of the desktop on the lcd screen but it was still covered in the colored lines, and the small part I did see was blue color distorted.

------------>Third I tried redefining the variables again as:

VGA: video=mxcdi1fb:GBR24,VGA-XGA di1_primary vga
SEIKO LCD: video=mxcdi0fb:RGB24,SEIKO-WVGA di0_primary

Which made no real difference.

Then I wrote the line:

setenv bootargs_mmc 'set bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 ${lcd} noinitrd rw ip=192.168.255.2:192.168.255.1::::eth0:off root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.255.1:/opt/IMX53/ltib/rootfs,nolock'

Which made the Penguin appear good on the screen however now Im not booting from the SD-card anymore, so it tries to boot from NFS.

Here are my startup information and enviroment from printenv:

Now I am pretty much stuck, I am very new to this, started from knowing nothing three days ago and also installed Ubuntu on my computer for the first time tree days ago.

Any help would be appreciated!

Best Regards

Sorry, was wrong link. Try MX53_QSB_UBUNTU_SD_DEMO_IMAGE from here:

I see, I tried redownloading it and such, however I don't seem to be able to run this program... It just shows up as a file on my computer and not as an application.

Vladan Jovanovic said:
Yes, just give it a try. Insert uSD card to USB/SD reader and choose the right disk from the flasher app.

Does this flasher work on Windows 7 ?..?

Vladan Jovanovic said:
You have entered some wrong lines there, as there's weird variables defines (VGA, SEIKO, botargs_base, console_base...).
Use the flasher binary for windows from HERE to re-program the uSD card you have. After that, just typing following should create setup that you need:
setenv bootargs_base 'setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 gpu_nommu ${lcd}'
saveenv
