Several error messages while booting TorizonCore on Verdin iMX8M-Plus

I’ve just downloaded and installed the latest TorizonCore Monthly for Verdin iMX8M-Plus (today is 6.2.0-devel-202303+build.6.container on my SoM mounted on Verdin Development Board V1.1B.

From the Linux serial console I see a lot of error messages during the boot

even if TorizonCore boots and I can see Portainer page.
Is there something that must be changed from my side?
Or something that should be fixed on TorizonCore?

Thanks

Greetings @vix,

These messages are already known to our team. However, they do not represent any major issues and can be safely ignored for the most part. Are you concerned because the messages look concerning? Or are you actually experiencing issues?

Best Regards,
Jeremias

I don’t see any issue (at the moment).

In that case as I said these messages can be disregarded as they are known.

At a first sight, the only message that is suspicious to me is the last one

because I need to transmit sound over HDMI calble to an external monitor with speakers.

Does this message mean that sound over HDMI doesn’t work?

Hello @vix ,
I have loaded the following image:
TorizonCore 6.2.0-devel-202303+build.6

and I don’t see any HDMI error messages.
My output of dmesg | grep hdmi

Hello @vix ,
Do you have any news on this topic? Have you been able to test the sound over HDMI?

Best regards,
Josep

Not yet.
A list of other showstopper issues is on my to do list.
I let you know

Hi @josep.tx and @jeremias.tx
I can share some news on this topic.
I did all the tests with:

  • Verdin iMX8M-Plus Quad 4GB WB IT V 1.1A
  • Verdin Development Board V 1.1B + Verdin DSI to HDMI Adapter Rev 1.1 (which is mounted, but nothing is connected)
  • HDMI monitor connected to X37 + X53 (touch screen)
  • TorizonCore with Eval Containers 6.3.0-devel-202305+build.7.container

If I look to the Linux console during boot, I see a long list of these *ERROR* messages

[    2.524373] [drm:drm_bridge_attach] *ERROR* failed to attach bridge /soc@0/bus@32c00000/mipi_dsi@32e60000 to encoder DSI-37: -517

[    2.544481] imx_sec_dsim_drv 32e60000.mipi_dsi: failed to bind sec dsim bridge: -517

If I login at the end of the boot, and I run dmesg | grep hdmi I get the following output

[    0.073109] platform 32fd8000.hdmi: Fixing up cyclic dependency with 32fc6000.lcd-controller

Please, not the the timestamps of this last command are not visible in the Linux boot console log (the timestamps there start from

Starting kernel ...

and finish to

The above list of *ERROR* messages doesn’t seem problematic, most of the time.
But sometimes at the end of the boot console log I see a some additional errors related to fsl-aud2htx and imx-hdmi sound-hdmi

...

[    6.566328] imx-hdmi sound-hdmi: snd_soc_register_card failed (-517)

When this happens, nothing is shown on the HDMI monitor. Nothing is shown if I unplug and replug the HDMI cable.

Can you reproduce this behavior?
Do you have any idea on why this happens (sometimes)?
