iMX51 sometimes doesn't load the LCD driver

[SteM]

Hi all,

iMX51 + WinEC700.

The BSP is based on the BSP from Freescale.

Sometimes happens that at the OS start - after the bootloader - the screen stays blank (especially if i'm running with the batteries, with the wall charger i never see that).

If I check on the debug log i see the following:

1. correct

The screen is initialized between the USB detections (always..).

When I have the blank screen the log is:

That means that the LCD driver (and the next apps) is not loaded but i don't know why???

Any idea?

[justin_jiang]

Can you disable the USB driver and have a try?

[SteM]

Do you mean to disable the USB item in the catalog?

No, for the moment ..

[justin_jiang]

Yes. You can remove the USB drivers in the catalog to check if the usb driver impacted the LCD.

[SteM]

Ok, but i don't know if the USB driver is the culprit: this is the best clue i have, so far.

[SteM]

After some negative consecutive tests (that is, blank screens) I deleted the /Registry/system.hv file.

After that the system was able to start (?!?!?!?!?!?).

I don't really understand how it is possible: seems the registry is corrupted .. but the applications are not running.

[justin_jiang]

Did you enable the HIV registry?

[SteM]

Yes

[justin_jiang]

Maybe it doesn't use the new HIV registry? I am not sure. You can check it.
