hi.

I'm using custom board based on sabrelite.

basically, dual display is working fine.

but, fb1 for second display has bad quality issue.

please refer to attached pics.

this is my working bootargs.

setenv bootargs console=ttymxc1,115200 video=mxcfb1:dev=hdmi,1280x720M@60, if=RGB24 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi2,1280x720M@60,if=RGB24 fbmem=28M,28M vmalloc=192M, root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait consoleblank=0

i add sil9022 driver as the board designed and changed its name to hdmi2.

all works fine except bad quality.

HDMI ------------------------> fb1

RGB ------->sil9022 -----> fb0

both displays set to ipu 0 disp_id 0.

i think this causing my issue though, i don't know very much about IPU stuff.

i switched fb0 and fb1 to check whether it makes different. though, just same as before.

pleas help me out.

Now I got a solution.

I change hdmi ipu to 1,

now 0 for hdmi2 as in pinmuxed, 1 for hdmi (dynamic while kernel booting).

I still don't know why ipu dropped the bits.

maybe bandwidth issue ?

these are my fb settings for fb0 and fb2.

currently,

fb0 is mapped with hdmi2 (sil9022) -> it shows good quality.

fb1 is overlay for fb0

fb2 is mapped with hdmi (internal hdmi) -> it shows bad quality (seems 16 bit)

anybody any idea ?

Looks like framebuffer has only 16-bit or less bits per pixel. Is it due to SIL9022 setup or a software config issue?

HI !!!!

Thanks for the reply.

i swapped the fb order for both to test if the issue is related sii902x driver.

but, when sii902x (hdmi2) to fb0.  it shows good quality.

so with fb0 both  devices has no problem. but, with fb2 the problem arised. (with hdmi, or hdmi2 just same)

i tried bpp=32 option, 1280x720-32 mode string, IPU_PIX_FMT_RGB24 pixel format and V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB24 for display. and so on.

all of them were not helpful.

is there anyhting i missed ?
