Shouldn’t the BL_ON wait until pixel data and clock signals are stable, before going active?
It appears to go active immediately at power on, resulting in a brief (100-200ms) flash of white on my LCD before splash screen is displayed.
Just as on Colibri Ev Board 3.2B, I wired BL_ON to drive the PWRDWN pin on the LVDS driver, as well as the enable pin on my backlight driver.
Same components as your ref design.
I use the default BL_ON pin SODIMM-71.

Bootloader is from same package
(how can I tell bootloader version after it’s installed???)
If this is problematic to detect in the driver, a configurable delay after power-on would be a huge help, as I think the time for valid data to appear is pretty constant.
We created a feature request and will discuss next week, whether we can implement this option into the bootloader.
Please be aware that there is still a time between power-up and executing the bootloader code, when we don’t have software control over the backlight pin. It is probably floating and should be pulled to inactive state on your carrier board.
Dear @ebbe
We decided to implement a configurable delay for the BL_ON signal, as we have done it already on other platforms. We didn’t decide on a schedule yet.
