IMX6 Quad LVDS display support

[dhrumildoshi]

Hello,

I am trying to interface 1920X1200 LVDS display onto imx6 Quad custom board. We use LVDS0 channel to interface with display,
I am unable to find the following answers :

1. Does IMX6 Quad platform support 1920X1200 LVDS output on single channel?
2. Which are the u-boot arguments needed to be set?
3. What are the changes required to be done in driver or device tree?
4. Which mode I need to use for 1920x1200 resolution? LVDS split mode or single mode?

Please provide answers to above questions.

Thanks,

Dhrumil

Hi Dhrumil

single channel supports1366x768@60fps, overal LDB supports
1920x1200@ 60fps. For 1920x1200 one needs to use split mode similar

to patch below

imx6q and lvds. 

Best regards

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your reply. I will try your patch and will let you know the result.

Till then, can you please tell me what is the maximum resolution I can get using on single LVDS channel (LVDS0)?

And if I want to use only single channel, then what should be the clock frequency?

As per my knowledge, If I want to get LVDS output 1920*1200 @30Hz, then I should be able to do it using single LVDS channel (LVDS0) instead of split mode. As frame rate is low, the LVDS clock needs to be 79.7 MHz (<85 MHz limitation LVDS channel).

To set above configuration, I have done below changes. Please confirm the changes and let me know if any other change is required to be done.

• In board's .dtsi  file,
  

  &ldb {
  

  status = "okay";

  lvds-channel@0 {

  fsl,data-mapping = "spwg";

  fsl,data-width = <24>;

  primary;

  status = "okay";

  display-timings {

  native-mode = <&timing0>;

  timing0: hj070na {

  clock-frequency = <79795320>;

  hactive = <1920>;

  vactive = <1200>;

  hback-porch = <60>;

  hfront-porch = <81>;

  vback-porch = <25>;

  vfront-porch = <35>;

  hsync-len = <1>;

  vsync-len = <1>;

  };

  };

  };

  };

• In boot commands file,
  

console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,1920x1200@30,if=RGB24,bpp=32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=mxcfb3:off androidboot.console=ttymxc0 androidboot.hardware=freescale vmalloc=300M androidboot.selinux=disabled consoleblank=0 cma=256M androidboot.dm_verity=disabled

Thanks,

Hi Dhrumil,

Finally have you succeed in using one single LVDS channel working on a 1920x1200@30Hz ?

Because I don't really see an answer to the question

Are your changes in the dts and boot loader corrects ?

Thank you by advance for your answers

Hi AURELIEN,

Yes, the changes in dts and boot loader files are correct and it is working at maximum of 40 Hz refresh rate.

Thanks,

Hi Dhrumil

for supported resolutions please refer to sect.39.4.1 Input Parallel Display Ports
i.MX6DQ Reference Manual

Hi Igor,

What about the changes I have mentioned for 1920x1200 @30Hz on single channel LVDS (LVDS0)?

Are they correct or not?

Hi Dhrumil

please use lcd datasheet and below links for display timings changes:
