[SOLVED] linux-imx6-wandboard-dt 3.10.17-5 and graphic...

[JoKo]

Hello,

I have started this thread since the previous one was locked. As I have mentioned there, I have installed the following packages: linux-imx6-wandboard-dt-3.10.17-5, linux-imx6-wandboard-dt-headers-3.10.17-5, uboot-wandboard-quad-2014.01-1, firmware-imx-3.5.7_1.0.0-1, gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-fb-3.10.17_1.0.0_beta-1, imx-vpu-3.10.17_1.0.0-1, libcec-imx6-13.20140324-1, libfslvpuwrap-3.10.17_1.0.0-1 and xbmc-imx-git-13.20140330-1.

The current problem is that the video output is grayscale, with blank lines and not well-centered. CrawX suggested running one of the Vivante samples, but the output is similar to XBMC (snapshot while running /opt/fsl/viv_samples/vdk/tutorial1 - click here). Finally, I have to add also that the console (text mode, I guess not through fb) is working just fine, I can see the username entry and the cursor blinking just before I start the XBMC service or run the vivante samples.


Thanks in advance for the help,

JoKo

I don't see topic locked, check your date
Also update your entire system to see if that fixes things. Change hdmi cable if it doesn't.

Fix blinking cursor in xbmc
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'echo "m /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink 0666 root root - -" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/xbmc.conf')
Reboot and try again
Edit: this has been added to package now

meld0 had the same problem with the greyscale, the fix is posted here.

Many thanks.

Adding:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=16')
in /boot/uEnv.txt solved the issue.
