Hi,

We are using custom hardware based on IMX6q.

LVDS panel is connected to hardware and some times we are getting display corruption.

How we can fixed this issue? What could be the reason behind this?

Thanks

I would said that the issue it is timing related, you can review the fb structure that it is according to your LVDS display. I would recommend to measure the pixel clock to see it is according to the LVDS.  Can you share your settings? Another way to review it is to slow down the resolution of the display to see if it is corrected.


Have a great day,
Jaime

Hi,

Thanks for taking interest and replay for this issue.

This issue occurs randomly. After reboot or suspend resume this issue disappear and visa verse.

I am using 1080p display Panel.

static struct fb_videomode ldb_modedb[] = {

     "LDB-1080P60", 60, 1920, 1080, 6800,

     128, 138 ,

     22, 3,

     80, 4,

     0,

     FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED,

     FB_MODE_IS_DETAILED,},

};

And pll2_pfd_352M is used as clocking source for the LDB pixel clock,

Is It possible LDB pixel clock (pll2_pfd_352M ) has some jitter ?

Thanks

Hi,

I have measured the clock signal

- LVDS0_CLK_P signal and it is always vary between 69.9 MHz to 73.3 MHz.

     According to me it should be stable at any one value according to rounding clock rate. What could be wrong in this case?

In LDB split mode how the LVDS0_CLK_P and LVDS1_CLK_P generated from IPU_DI0_CLK?

When i have display corruption difference between LVDS0_CLK_P and LVDS1_CLK_P is approx 2 Hz, And for the proper picture this difference is between 0.2 Hz.

-      Ideally this both clock LVDS0_CLK_P and LVDS1_CLK_P should be same because it is generated from same clock source.

Any Valuable comment from Freescale team?

Saurabh,

Could you please check bit 17 of the IPUx_DI0_GENERAL register and make sure it is not the "Incorrect Setting" here below:

Hi Rod,

I have the same issue and i have solved it with your settings. Thank you. I would like to give some more information about what i saw. First i made a .bmp picture with only one pixel RGB colour = 127, 127 and 127. Then I send the whole picture to the screen using the following linux command:

dd if=/media/sda1/test.bmp bs=138 skip=1 > /dev/fb (The test image is a 1280x800 RGB565 bitmap file)

We then saw a shift in pixels:

When setting the following setting: addr 0x02640008 to 0x00020001 (was 0x00010000), the problem was fixed.

Below a measurement of the LVDS signals, CLK and RX1:

Red and blue are the incorrect image with shifted bits. Pink is the correct image.

Register values are as follow.

IPU_DI0_GENERAL            --> 0x00300000;

IPU_DI0_BS_CLKGEN0      --> 0x00000010;

IPU_DI0_BS_CLKGEN1      --> 0x00010000;

Hi Saurabh,

I have another customer with a similar problem. He is running Android, and it seems you are too.

The following patch seems to work for them. Would you please give it a try too?

Thanks,

Rod.

We are experiencing the same issue driving an LVDS panel. The patch (ENGR00304402) appears to be for the 3.0 kernel. Is there an updated patch the the 3.10.17 GA release?

Thanks,

Jeff

I was able to patch the 3.10.17 GA FSL kernel (using the code above) and the LVDS is now working without issue. We are still testing but all looks good. It appears I can not attach files to this post so I'm not sure how I can post the patch.

Thanks,

Jeff
