Hello,
I can't get the DVI output to work on a i.MX51 EVP board (babbage). There
seems to be no signal at all. The board is running the mainline kernel
4.11.0-rc4 as of a
day ago (89970a0).
- The connector and cable works. u-boot (v2016.07-rc2) shows a penguin at boot.
However while the Linux kernel boots, the signal goes away: monitor (a fairly
old Dell 24" panel, max resolution 1600x1200, works fine with Linux/DRM with
other
hardware) goes to sleep mode.
- Monitor is connected through HDMI<->DVI cable, could try another monitor if
that's potentially the issue (Could it be EDID related? I'd guess not as the
timings
are hardcoded in the device tree).
- Haven't changed anything in the dtb with regard to port config or resolution
or timings. The default ones in imx51-babbage.dts should theoretically just
work. I checked and these are the same as in u-boot:
timing0: dvi {
clock-frequency = <65000000>;
hactive = <1024>;
vactive = <768>;
hback-porch = <220>;
hfront-porch = <40>;
vback-porch = <21>;
vfront-porch = <7>;
hsync-len = <60>;
vsync-len = <10>;
};
- Went as far back as kernel v4.0, even to v3.12 or so (commit 493a863, "ARM:
dts: imx51-babbage: Make DVI and WVGA panel functional"). No difference. So
nothing to
bisect, unfortunately.
- In dmesg this is all the output I get:
[ 0.801700] imx-ipuv3 40000000.ipu: no port@0 node in /soc/ipu@40000000, not

[ 1.047276] imx-ipuv3 40000000.ipu: IPUv3EX probed
As far as I know this is nothing unexpected. CSI0 and CSI1 are not connected
but DI0 should be the
DVI port, which does get initialized. The size of the framebuffer device seems
to indicate the resolution
is set correctly (assuming 16x8 characters).
There was also a "timeout waiting for vsync" error,
[ 0.917254] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c:1122
drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks.part.0+0x264/0x274
[ 0.917259] [CRTC:26] vblank wait timed out
which was fixed after applying Philipp Zabel's "drm/imx: don't wait for vblank
and stop calling cleanup_planes in commit_tail" patch series.
However that didn't solve the output issue.
I'm out of things to try to diagnose this, does anyone perhaps have an idea or
seen this issue
before?

Wladimir van der Laan
