IMX6SLEVK: Custom display - 320x240@60Hz

[felipezimmerle]

Dear,

I am trying to setup a custom display on a IMX6SLEVK and I am facing some problems. The main idea is to connect a RGB display and use the fb working in the correct resolution, refresh rate and data format, in my case:

320x240@60Hz RGB666. Usually these options can be set at the kernel boot line, however, it is not working with the imx6slevk. This evk have this fancy panel={lcd,hdmi,einsomething} option and looks like when i select lcd, it always goes to 800x480. I had a look at the code at arch/arm/mach-mx6/board-mx6sl_evk.c, and those values looks pretty fixed to me. Is that any way to get this mx6sl_evk working like the others IMXs? Using the mxcfb0?

Thanks,
F.

Hello,Felipe,

      From imx6sl EVK BSP file : board-mx6sl_evk.c, We can konw the board support "SEIKO-WVGA" LCD , See following code :

static struct fb_videomode wvga_video_modes[] = {
{
  /* 800x480 @ 57 Hz , pixel clk @ 32MHz */
  "SEIKO-WVGA", 60, 800, 480, 29850, 89, 164, 23, 10, 10, 10,
  FB_SYNC_CLK_LAT_FALL,
  FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED,
  0,},
};

static struct mxc_fb_platform_data wvga_fb_data[] = {
{
  .interface_pix_fmt = V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB24,
  .mode_str = "SEIKO-WVGA",
  .mode = wvga_video_modes,
  .num_modes = ARRAY_SIZE(wvga_video_modes),
  },
};

static struct platform_device lcd_wvga_device = {
.name = "lcd_seiko",
};

....

mxc_register_device(&lcd_wvga_device, NULL);

......

The LCD's driver is at path linux/drivers/video/mxc/mxc_seiko_wvga.c , you can find driver's name and device's name in bsp are the same:

/*!

* platform driver structure for SEIKO WVGA

*/

static struct platform_driver lcd_driver = {

.driver = {

    .name = "lcd_seiko"},

.probe = lcd_probe,

.remove = __devexit_p(lcd_remove),

.suspend = lcd_suspend,

.resume = lcd_resume,

};

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, For your customized LCD :

(1)Calculate the LCD's time and fill the fb_videomode accroding to LCD datasheet.

static struct fb_videomode wvga_video_modes[] = {

{

  /* 800x480 @ 57 Hz , pixel clk @ 32MHz */

  "SEIKO-WVGA", 60, 800, 480, 29850, 89, 164, 23, 10, 10, 10,

  FB_SYNC_CLK_LAT_FALL,

  FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED,

  0,},
{/*Add a new LCD*/
  /* 320x240 @ xx Hz , pixel clk @ xxMHz */
  "MY-LCD", 60, 320, 240, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx,
  FB_SYNC_CLK_LAT_FALL,
  FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED,
  0,},
};

(2)Update static struct mxc_fb_platform_data wvga_fb_data[]

static struct mxc_fb_platform_data wvga_fb_data[] = {
{
  .interface_pix_fmt = V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB666,
  .mode_str = "MY-LCD",
  .mode = wvga_video_modes,
  .num_modes = ARRAY_SIZE(wvga_video_modes),
  },
};

(4)Create a new LCD device

static struct platform_device lcd_wvga_device = {
.name = "lcd_mine",
};

(5)Add a new driver for your LCD

It is not difficult to add a new driver for you LCD, you can refer to linux/drivers/video/mxc/mxc_seiko_wvga.c, create a new driver file at the same path. Notice that driver's name should be same as that of device:

static struct platform_driver lcd_driver = {

.driver = {

    .name = "lcd_mine"},

.probe = lcd_probe,

.remove = __devexit_p(lcd_remove),

.suspend = lcd_suspend,

.resume = lcd_resume,

};

(6)Register your LCD device(same as that of in bsp)

mxc_register_device(&lcd_wvga_device, NULL);

After the above steps are done, compile linux kernel. burn it into your board.

Your LCD should normally work at 320x240 resolution.

Hello Weidong,

                        i have wandboard quad core and ortus tech lcd 240x320 of 3.5", but didn't found anything related to Calculate the LCD's time and fill the fb_videomode in LCD datasheet. I want to know on which of lcd to look for finding the lcd time. I want to how to set the value of  fb_videomode, from i can get value of these fields. So help me to complete my task

Regards

Jai Prakash

Dear Weidong,

Could you tell me the meaing of each of parameter in this phase?

"SEIKO-WVGA", 60, 800, 480, 29850, 89, 164, 23, 10, 10, 10,

I need to know this info to do custom for my LCD.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks and best regards.

Hello,Felipe,

      Has your LCD poring been done ?

Hi Weidong, sorry, I am still waiting for the LCD module :smileysad:

[weidong_sun]

Hi,Felipe,

      you mean you bought a LCD module, but you didn't get it , right ?

Regards,

Weidong

[felipezimmerle]

Hi there,

I've bought it, and i am still waiting to receive.
