i.MX6 LCD display does not work when using yocto

[宗標廖]

Hello,Community

I am now working on Freescale  imx6dlsabreauto board with Yocto L3.10.17_1.0.2.

I connected a 7" 800 x 480 LCD display,and set the kernel command line

as below:

setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} ${smp} root=${mmcroot} video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,CLAA-WVGA,if=RGB565'

After the kernel started,the LCD display did not work(it displayed nothing).

But when I tested with LTIB L3.0.35,the LCD worked normally.

So could you tell me why LCD display doest not work under Yocto.

Hi

Have you tried following command after boot completed?

echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank

Hi

Yes,I tried that command,it did not help me.

From the L3.10.17 kernel message,I found logs about lcd as below.

mxc_sdc_fb fb.22: register mxc display driver lcd

mxc_sdc_fb fb.22: NO mxc display driver found!

But the L3.0.35 kenel just output the following log about lcd.

mxc_sdc_fb mxc_sdc_fb.0: register mxc display driver lcd

Is there anything wrong within LCD driver of Linux-imx_3.10.17?

Hi

I have resolved the problem.

I found that the device tree for imx6 in L3.10.17 has not registered the LCD device.

After I configured the LCD for imx6 in device tree,the LCD became to work.

I attached the device tree files that I have modified.

And for my LCD display, I changed the kernel command line parameter from

video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,CLAA-WVGA,if=RGB565 to video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,CLAA-WVGA,if=RGB666
