Change HDMI LCD resolution in Toradex i.MX6 board

Hello Experts,

I have the below 15" HDMI LCD display @1366x768 resolution and want to interface with my toradex i.MX6 board.

https://www.chalk-elec.com/?page_id=1280#!/15-6-HDMI-interface-LCD-with-capacitive-touchscreen/p/38127425

I have tried to change the resolution in uboot environment variables, but it got set some different default values.
And I tried to change the display resolution using GUI application. I can’t see my LCD resolution.

With this 1280x720, I can’t some bottom portion of image, unable to access complete LCD. (Attached in google drive)

Also I tried the below commands to change the resolution in runtime, images are corrupted.

Hi

Could you change your vidargs to the following:

video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1366x768M@60,if=RGB24 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=m xcfb3:off fbmem=32M

Note that if you cat and paste the edid which is read from your display at least the following online tool reports a wrong checksum. I don’t know if the driver in the kernel ignores such an error or not.

Max

I have tried the below

 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1366x768M@60,if=RGB32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=m xcfb3:off fbmem=32M

 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1360x768M@60,if=RGB32 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=m xcfb3:off fbmem=32M

And got scrambled images, BTW, this LCD works with Desktop PC. (windows & LCD @ 1366x768)
Can you please help me on this ?

are you able to see full screen now, can you post a picture of your display.

Hi jaski.tx,
Getting 1280x720 resolution as we can see the below log for both 1360x768 & 1366x768.

[ 0.230039] fbcvt: Aspect ratio not CVT standard

Also please check the kernel command line which I set in uboot.

Not sure why 1280x768 resolution is set even I use 1366x768. Got the below image.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b49YnBiYxRtMjFgsrD0YyjLwG64DmECj/view
Anything I need to modify in dts or HDMI driver ?

Also tried the below commands, but got some scrambled images.

fbset -g 1366 768 1366 768 18 -t 13468 220 110 20 5 40 5

fbset -g 1366 768 1366 768 32 -t 13468 220 110 20 5 40 5

Thanks for the reply.

Just saw the below post.

I can’t see the 1366x768 or 1360x768 resolution. (In imx6, 1366 is not divisible by 8, so I think we should use 1360)

Can you please help me on this ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Attached the video. You can see the some lines shifted from top to bottom.

Can you please check ?

Hi

As already said your display provides broken EDID. Both EDID header and checksum are wrong. I’m surprised that a Windows PC does parse such data.

You should contact your display provider and report the issue.


To workaround the broken display you could make the kernel use local EDID instead of reading it from the display.

For that apply this patch and add CONFIG_I2C_SW_EDID to the kernel config.
Then change the device tree to contain a corrected EDID and make the edid driver use the simulated I2C bus driver instead of reading from the I2C bus towards your display, e.g. similar what the following patch does to the Evaluation Board device trees.

Then compile the kernel and device tree and deploy to the target.

Max

Note that the restriction that the resolution must be a multiple of 8 is limited to an are were the GPU renders to, the IPU can generate display output without that restriction. When you use a window manager (e.g. openbox in the LXDE image) then the GPU will be asked to draw to a part of the full display. The dimensions of such a sub window will be a multiple of 8.

Thanks Max… Its fixed the issue. Now I can get the full resolution on my HDMI display.
Thanks for the help.

Hi @max.tx, @Titus_Stalin,

We are using the same below 15.6 display with Toradex imx6Q Apalis SOM but we have ported Android 7.1.2 to it
https://www.chalk-elec.com/?page_id=1280#!/15-6-HDMI-interface-LCD-with-capacitive-touchscreen/p/38127425

  1. We have enabled local EDID patch - new driver and dts file changes
  2. We have configured 1366x768 as resolution in the hdmi driver // Tried with 1360x768 as well, which is the better tool to get the display parameters to be filled for this resolution in the driver
  3. We made sure the bootargs are fine - video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1366x768M@60,if=RGB24 //did try with rgb16 as well as rgb32

Are we missing anything here - which stops us in quickly validating this 15.6 display with Toradex imx6Q

Hi @Titus_Stalin,

Have you created the local EDID for this display on your own with 1366x768 as resolution - where did you make out other parameters for this display

If possible could you pls upload a complete working patch to this display so that we can cross verify

Please help us get over this issue

Thanks

Harish

Please note that hijacking old questions is discouraged. Please do ask a new question referring to this one if deemed required.

Sure marcel.tx, will raise a new one

That corrupted EDID HDMI display workd with raspberry pi device with the following fix.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=205958&p=1277210#p1277210

That Raspberrypy fix seems to use kernel extensions only available in the raspberrypy downstream kernel. What exactly is not working for you in the following workaround? Change HDMI LCD resolution in Toradex i.MX6 board - #10 by max.tx - Technical Support - Toradex Community
