[U-Boot] IMX51 EVK Splash Screen

[U-Boot] IMX51 EVK Splash Screen

[Thomas Besemer]

Hi folks -

I had posted last week.  I was able to get basic Splash Screen going on EVK,
through using patches I found from googling around.  At the end of this email,
the patch set that shows the differences from the U-Boot I pulled on
12/24/2010.  I am not sure I have the right patch set, but in this case,
what I have does seem to work; U-Boot does output to LCD display on the
second Display Interface.

Through some of the archives, this one specifically:

http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot at lists.denx.de/msg41664.html

There seems to have been a discussion on lcd_setmem().  Has this been
resolved, and I missed it?  You'll see from patch set that I just put a
very large buffer in place (hard coded hack).  U-Boot hung on boot before
I put this in, and based on what I see on mailing list, this seems to be
an issue of not having the display information available early on in boot.

At any rate, I got it to boot, and see that the LCD shows display on
startup.  Yet, I lose the console on this; the serial port is read, but
the output goes to LCD.

I have still not displayed a bit map image, but with IPU working, not
horribly concerned.

In an ideal world, what I would like is to not loose the console.  I want
stdin/stdout to remain on serial port, while I toss a bit map out on LCD.
Any comments on how to do this?  End game is that I toss a splash screen
up on LCD on EVK, while having U-Boot information still on the console.

So, a couple of things:

1. Do I have correct patch work for this version of U-Boot, or is there a
newer version of U-Boot to pull?  I pulled both mainline and IMX tree
yesterday, don't see the MX51 EVK in them.

2. How to configure so that I get console while LCD is available for display.

3. What is current status on lcd_setmem() thing.

If this patch set that I have is workable, then I am going to move forward
to put in support for DVI interface on EVK, and figure out how to use
U-Boot Environment Variables to specify which DIU to use.

I might have missed a few things along the way folks; I am not the sharpest
tool in the shed.  Please let me know if I missed patch sets on lcd_setmem(),
and help me understand how to make sure console works with Splash Screen.

Thanks,

tom

There is no correct patchset. As I already stated, patches sent
sometimes ago to ML (and that you reuse) require some rework to be
merged into the mainline.

No, someone should fix it. The result of the discussion suggested by
Wolfgang is to use the same interface Linux uses, that is with a
video-mode=" variable with something such as 1024x768 at 60. U-Boot has
already a videomodes.c, but it uses an ancient syntax for videomode (see
the code). Feel free to fix it.

Of course it can work, but this cannot go to mainline...

Right. This is an open issue.

Fine.

Console remains on UART if you do not change the behavior.

This is already foreseen. If you checked in IPU code, there is an
overwrite function set for this purpose. You must set
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE. Check the setup in the vision2 board.

As I stated previously, the patch adding splashscreen to the mx51evk
board need reworking.

See my answer before

Awaiting for patches. Do you think you can provide them ?

Regarding lcd_setmem() there is some clear statements. IMHO I like
Wolfgang's proposal, because we should not reinvent the wheel.

On my end, I had to go back to the FSL SDK version of U-Boot.  Reason
is that they
have an extensive patch set that is not in mainstream U-Boot.  I ran
into some issues
using current U-Boot, such as a slower boot time, but did not investigate.

If I get a chance in next month or so, I am going to migrate all FSL
SDK U-Boot patches
to the top of the U-Boot tree, and stabilize.

I have not back ported the Splash Screen stuff to the SDK version of U-Boot.

In an ideal world, FSL will start working with current U-Boot, and
post their patch sets back
to mailing list.  Would make life easier for all of us.

[Thomas Besemer]

Please constrain your emails to the email list; I do not like direct comment
or direct email.

Stefano has fixed much of the IPU/Splash Screen stuff.  A good deal of that
is in current U-Boot tree, last I saw.  I am now back on OMAP, so really
don't have comment on this.  Stefanfo might, but just pull the tree and
figure it out on your own; it is not that hard.
