Portainer doesn't come up on Apalis iMX8MQ V1.0B

ChipW · August 13, 2020, 1:49am

installed TorizonCore 4.00-dev-202007+build.17 using TEZI 2.0b5 on V1.0B board. I can log into Torizon using SSH or via the serial port but nothing comes up on the HDMI output, specifically the Portainer GUI shown in the getting started guides. The boot sequence is shown below. HDMI worked with TEZI so I know it can work with that monitor. Any idea what is going on? Thanks.

Greetings @ChipW,

I’m unable to recreate this on my side. It is possible for Tezi to work on the display but not Torizon/BSP. This is because I believe Tezi sets the screen resolution/timing slightly differently than in our Linux offerings.

In any case though let’s see if we can get some more information to debug this. First of all can you make sure the systemd service that starts Portainer is operating correctly? You can check the status with sudo systemctl status docker-compose. Next if the status seems fine can you return the logs of the Weston docker container. To do this first run docker ps -a to list all the running containers locate the Weston container on that list and copy it’s “CONTAINER ID”. Then just run docker logs <CONTAINER ID>, this should hopefully tell us how the system is interpreting your display.

Finally if you’re able, I know you said this display worked with Tezi, but just try some other HDMI displays if you have any. This might be the case of a certain class of displays not playing well with our system and if so we’d like to know.

Best Regards,
Jeremias

Hi Jeremias,
Makes sense on the Tezi. It looks like VGA resolution. I’ve tried 3 different monitors: a Samsung that does 3840x2160p40, an Acer that does 1600x900p60 and a Dell that does 1920x1200p60. dmesg output seems to show all detected and proper resolutions detected
After reboot with samsung montior

It looks like it’s found the right mode for the Samsung monitor connected and this matches with the dmesg output. I don’t understand the docker log file but it looks like it is connecting then disconnecting. Not sure how to read that.

Hi Jeremias,

I’m concerned about one of the messages in the startup text just because it says it couldn’t do something with a clock rate with the name hdmi in it:

[    0.360291] clk: couldn't set hdmi_lis_ipg_clk clk rate to 100000000 (-22), current rate: 0

Certainly if a clock didn’t get set right one could see the hdmi output not work right…

With the Acer 1600x900p60 monitor:

The monitor itself displays a message “Input not Supported”. So I’m thinking some clock necessary to make the hdmi output (maybe a prescaler of some kind?) isn’t getting set right when the kernel boots and so any hdmi output is wrong. The Samsung monitor is breaking connection and reconnecting and the Acer monitor is just display Input not Supported. What do you think?

Regards,
Chip

Hi Jeremias,

You say it is working on your systems. What kind of monitor at what resolution are you running?

Also, do you get the same messages at boot:

Of interest, when I boot up Tezi 2.0b4 in RAM I get the boot messages:

[ 0.305827] clk: couldn’t set hdmi_lis_ipg_clk clk rate to 100000000 (-22), current rate: 84857142

That’s different than the message for TorizonCore where the current rate was 0

jeremias.tx · August 13, 2020, 10:20pm

Well this is certainly odd, from the logs you’ve provided I don’t see anything drastically different from what I see on my setup. For my monitor I’m using a fairly normal 2560x1440 Dell monitor. I’ve also seen from your other question thread you have open that you’re experiencing this issue across all of our other various image. I saw you tried Qt and Android to no success as well, what other images have you tried so far? Either way this issue doesn’t seem to be limited to just Torizon but to all of our Unix based offerings, which do share a common base so this makes sense.

Just checking the only time you’ve seen HDMI output is with our Easy Installer tool correct? Did any of the other software images show any different behavior at all even if HDMI still didn’t work? I’m hesitant to say it’s the displays since you’ve tried 3 of them as well, have you tried other HDMI cables possibly?

In the meantime let me consult some of our guys internally and see if they have any other ideas here.

Best Regards,
Jeremias

ChipW · August 14, 2020, 2:45am

Hi Jeremias,

Actually at this point I’ve tried 4 different monitors. I added another Dell 1280x1024@60. Two different cables and both straight HDMI and using an adapter into DVI-D. Don’t have the complete names but have tried the TorizonCore with evaluation containers from 7/1/2020, 8/11/2020 and 4/21/2020. Plus as you’ve seen the Qt and Android images. I’ve also tried a couple of the Torizon with Graphics UI. I’ve about lost track.

One thing I have noticed is that the HDMI is not plug-n-play. It will boot up and figure out the EDID once but then that is what you have. If you change monitors the fbset will not change if you unplug and plug in a different monitor. So when I change monitors I always power cycle. That may be a longer term issue for somebody but for our final product we’ll be in a fixed display situation over LVDS so that is a non issue.

Are there ANY jumpers, optional DNI components, etc that could impact HDMI?

Regards,
Chip

ChipW · August 14, 2020, 2:45am

Hi Jeremias,

OK. 10th time is the charm. I dug out an old Samsung 720p class HD-TV and the HDMI came up! Using one of the same cables I’ve been using, no DVI-D adapter. It picked a 1366x768 format with 85.5MHz pixel clock. We will eventually want to know why all the other monitors universally didn’t work. I’m hoping there’s no instability issue with the HDMI like there is with the LVDS. For now I have the Portainer screen is up on the monitor and I can move forward with my “getting started” and working with Docker containers.

Not quite sure what the final answer is here. One old TV works, 4 monitors don’t. I don’t know if it’s the particular resolution, clock rate or ? I guess advise folks to keep pulling out their old HDMI stuff…

Thanks very much for your assistance and persistence.

Regards,
Chip

Portainer was actually working on the board. It was the HDMI output that was not behaving properly.
Find an old 720P class HD TV. These seem to work. Two old TVs worked with video formats: 1366x768p60 1280x720p60 Computer monitors don’t seem to work. Specific modes that did not work although identified properly and theoretically OK include: 3840x2160p60 1920x1200p60 1280x1024p60 1600x900p60

Hi Jeremias,

I’ll try that. One of the things I discovered is that Torizon doesn’t reset the video if you do an unplug and plug event. It just keeps on putting out what it found at boot up. Long term that should probably be fixed but it was useful in the short term. After I booted up on the 720P class TV I unplugged the TV and plugged in my Samsung monitor that hadn’t been working and it came up fine at the 1366x768p60 85.5MHz format. It kind of tells me it is related to the video format and frequency, not the monitor or cable. Let me try a few of your suggestions and I’ll report back.

Regards,
Chip

Hi Jeremias,

I also found that a monitor that was 1080p60 (148.5MHz) would come up. I had both a BenQ and Acer monitor that did OK. I followed that up with the same test to boot the Apalix module with the Acer 1080p60 monitor then unplug it and plug in my (non-working) Samsung monitor. Video came up fine on the Samsung monitor.

Regards,
Chip

Hi Jeremias,

So your suggestion seemed to work fine with my Samsung monitor I was able to get it to boot successfully with 1280x720 (72.2MHz), 1920x1080 (148.5MHz), 1024x768p75 (78.8MHz), 640x480p75 (31.5MHz), 2560x1440p60 (241.5MHz), 1600x900 (108.0MHz). I was even able to start 3840x2160p30 (297.0MHz).

I also manually tried the default max 3840x2160p60 (594.0MHz) but that still doesn’t work. Not sure what the max clock the iMX8QM will support. Have we exceeded that? Thanks.

Regards,
Chip

Hi Jeremias,

So after I did:

setenv tdxargs video=HDMI-A-1:3840x2160@30

I did:

saveenv

Now it boots up from power on in 3840x2160@30 consistently. That works! Thanks.

Regards,
Chip

Hi @ChipW,

I’m glad you found a display that worked but this still doesn’t sit right with me that your computer monitors didn’t work. As a final test can you try using one of your computer monitors but this time let’s try and force a non-default resolution.

In the U-boot console (interrupt the boot sequence early on with a key press), set the following variable: setenv tdxargs video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720. Except make sure to replace the resolution numbers here with a resolution that’s not the default resolution but still supported by the monitor you’re using.

Once set type boot into the U-boot console to proceed with the boot sequence. Now check if that works. As a note the resolution setting only persists for the boot that you set it, if you want it to persist further than also run saveenv after you set the resolution in U-Boot.

Best Regards,
Jeremias
