Screen freezes in bootloader When Using LVDS WCE 2013

Hey guys, I’m having a problem in trying to use the LVDS with my Apalis IMX6 with WCE 2013

Using the Software developed from toradex “Display Tool”, I’ve configurated the screen to use LVDS in channel 0. I’ve tested the channel 1 and dual channel, but both of them doesn’t even show the bootloader.

In the bootloader it works perfectly, but when It should show the desktop, it freezes only the screen.

With the remote controler I can use it normally after the screen freezes. It is just a comunication problem between the LVDS interface and the display

In the bootloader, when i read the ss configurations, it shows this:

ss.fileaddr:    0x0     (FlashAddress with SplashScreen Data)
ss.filesize:    0               (Size of SplashScreen Data)

ss.edidenable:  0               (1=enable reading of EDID data from i2c EEPROM. 0=disable this feature)

One thing that I haven’t found the value is the Display_GPIO pin for the Apalis IMX6

Thanks

Hi @rafagcf!

Which WinCE BSP version you’re using?
Also, can you provide the full serial debug output from the loader?

Thanks.

Solved:

The problem is that I was making the changes in the bootloader

It changes only the splashscreen. Everychange inteded to work on the windows must be done in the registry

Thanks

In recent releases of imx6 BSP we have the UseSplashSettings parameter that allows you to apply those same settings to the OS:

In latest release this should be the default.
There are some conditions (multi-screen, need to use different timings) when having separate settings is still required, but that parameter should solve your specific issue.
