Dual Cloned Displays on IMX6Q (Nitrogen6_Max)

[tengri]

Hi All,

I was able to get dual displays (HDMI and LCD) up on IMX6Q above-mentioned board and now trying to get the hdmi display mirrored to LCD. I am running Yocto X11 desktop with kernel 4.1.15. I got the dual display support work with aid of a frame buffer device entry in xorg.conf as follows :

Section "Device"
      Identifier "i.MX Accelerated Framebuffer Device"
      Driver "vivante"
      Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb2"
      Option "vivante_fbdev" "/dev/fb2"
      Option "HWcursor" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
      Identifier "Framebuffer Device0"
      Driver "fbdev"
      Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
      Option "HWcursor" "false"
EndSection

My fbpanel boot parameters look like :

fb_hdmi = 1280x720M@60

fb_lcd = My-LCD //NTSC type lcd, resolution is 1440x720@60, 24 bit and 27MHz pclk !

For this I am only getting independent displays (both work fine). Is it possible to mirror them by assigning one display device to other's frame buffer overlay (i.e. fb0=hdmi, fb1=lcd) ? Though timing parameters are different for both, can we achieve this ? I am using U-Boot 2016.03-20572-g9ccd9a9. I tried following too :

bootargs_mmc=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootwait rw video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x720M@60,if=RGB24 video=mxcfb1:dev=lcd,My-LCD,if=RGB24

 but no dice ! It seems like, above fbpanel parameters always set the hdmi and lcd to fb2 and fb0 respectively !

Thanks in Advance

Which platform, kernel, u-boot are you using ?  Typically two frame buffer devices have to be defined in u-boot and device tree binding and then only they will enumerate in your system. Without having this information, no one can help you.

thank you    

 platform is  imax6q   kernel is 4.1.15.
