Activate dsi on jetson nano som

waldemar.friesen · August 31, 2022, 10:03am

I have tried to activate the dsi firstly in bootloader. After that experiment me was clear, that I should do it in kernel at fist and then in bootloader. That order because bootloader has no known possibilities to recognize that display driver is loaded properly. In kernel I know the tool dmesg, which I have used with followed result on our board:

I have modified the followed file:
tegra210-porg-p3448-common.dtsi (22.3 KB)
and added the file:
densitron2.dtsi (3.2 KB)

The added file has no right initialization commands until now. What should I do regarding the dmesg:

tegra_dc_parse_panel_ops: could not find panel for /host1x/dsi

I use Kernel4.9. In that kernel I have activated Makros:
DRM_PANEL
DRM_MIPI_DSI
DRM_PANEL_JDI_LT070ME05000 (as module).

I will change the status to “okay” in the file densitron2.dtsi, sorry for the mistake!
After changing to “okay” the make command (make -C Linux_for_Tegra/source/public/kernel/kernel-4.9 ARCH=arm64 O=~/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/Linux_for_Tegra/build LOCALVERSION
=-tegra CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- -j32) throws errors:

the above error is eliminated by Kernel Macro: TEGRA_SATA_IDLE_POWERGATE (only first basis macro to activate) and the question is the same:
What should I do regarding the dmesg:

tegra_dc_parse_panel_ops: could not find panel for /host1x/dsi

WayneWWW · September 1, 2022, 3:07am

Parse panel is searching panel under the device tree.

You should read the driver code kernel/nvidia/drivers/video/tegra/dc/of_dc.c → tegra_dc_parse_panel_ops and see what is the exact thing this driver code is searching for. What you enabled (those DRM***) are not related to this dsi panel bring up either…

waldemar.friesen · September 2, 2022, 2:14pm

Thank you very much, for the help so far. The Display is working after this one will deactivated and activated in settings. I think that I should implement followed routine properly:

   res=1;
   delay(1);
   res=0;
   delay(10);
   res=1;
   delay(200);

How can be done that in the bootloader?

WayneWWW · September 5, 2022, 3:49am

Hi,

We don’t support to add display in bootloader but only in kernel.

Please refer to the

github.com

arter97/android_kernel_nvidia_shieldtablet/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/nvidia,tegra210-dsi.txt

NVIDIA TEGRA210 Display Serial Interface
========================================

1) The dsi node:
 dsi node must be contained in host1x parent node. This node represents NVIDIA Tegra210 Display
 Serial Interface.

 Required properties
 - name: dsi
 - compatible: Should contain "nvidia,tegra210-dsi".
 - reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers.
 - nvidia,dsi-controller-vs: DSI version. Write 0, 1 for DSI_VS_0 and DSI_VS_1, respectively. For TEGRA210,
   it should be 1.

 - Child node represents dsi panel node.

1.A) dsi panel node:
 dsi panel node must be contained in dsi parent node. This node represents dsi panel node.
 It is possible to have multiple dsi panel nodes.

And run your init cmd by adding

nvidia,dsi-init-cmd: panel required init command sequence.

waldemar.friesen · September 5, 2022, 3:05pm

I should of course say which bootloader: u-boot. Is it possible in that case to implement dsi in u-boot?

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 2:07am

No experience about this. Maybe other users can share their experience.

waldemar.friesen · September 6, 2022, 9:07am

Okay. How can then be done equivalent in NVidia-kernel4.9 :

	echo 168 > /sys/class/gpio/export
	sleep 1
	echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio168/direction
	echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio168/value
	#echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio168/value

I need this in order to switch backlight permanently on from beginning. I don’t know how to transform gpio168 to NVidia GPIO or Jetson Nano pin at SoM. Do yo have some information about this?

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 9:12am

You can write a gpio hog inside the device tree and set this gpio to always-on.

waldemar.friesen · September 6, 2022, 9:25am

yes I know, but I have to know to which port. I have tried to write high to TEGRA_GPIO(S, 0) but without success.

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 9:26am

If you really “hog” the gpio, then /sys/kernel/debug/gpio will show it in use. You better check it is really get that configuration first.

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 9:28am

If you are asking how to transform the pin to GPIO number, then check this table.

And calculate the number and add the offset. For example, if you are using Pin A08, then it is

TEGRA_GPIO_PORT_A 0 *8 + 8 =8. And add this 8 to another offset.

The offset will be shown inside /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

waldemar.friesen · September 6, 2022, 9:58am

okay. After transforming I have got TEGRA_GPIO(V, 0) to activate. And this is done already but without improvement.
I have read in /sys/kernel/debug/gpio with “sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio”:

 gpio-168 (GPIO07              )
 gpio-169 (                    |tegra-panel-bl-enabl) out hi

is it means that I should have TEGRA_GPIO(V, 7) in device tree?

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 10:04am

I am not sure what you are doing now. You should use your hardware to tell.
But not show me something and ask me if I should have TEGRA GPIO V7.

Honestly, I don’t know anything about your hardware and cannot answer.

You should check your hardware, see which pin is in use for your backlight, and check the pinmux spreadsheet and see what that gpio in A~Z group this pin belongs to… And then doing your calculation.

waldemar.friesen · September 6, 2022, 1:50pm

could you please explain via eg. a link what the meaning of “rsvd3” in pinmux-file

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 1:53pm

It means it could be used as GPIO.

waldemar.friesen · September 6, 2022, 2:03pm

and pwm0 ?

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 2:06pm

PWM means pulse width modulation. It means this pin is for SFIO and the function is PWM.

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 2:16pm

BTW, I don’t think PWM is related to your issue in enabling backlight. If you just want to know wht PWM stands for, then just check above comment.

But if you want to dig into PWM, then I think the direction would be wrong…

waldemar.friesen · September 6, 2022, 2:25pm

I understand it. But with this settings in pinmux-file, it works:

			lcd_bl_pwm_pv0 {
				nvidia,pins = "lcd_bl_pwm_pv0";
				nvidia,function = "pwm0";
				nvidia,pull = <TEGRA_PIN_PULL_NONE>;
				nvidia,tristate = <TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE>;
				nvidia,enable-input = <TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE>;
			};

any suggestions why it is so?

WayneWWW · September 6, 2022, 2:32pm

Just want to say this again that, I am not your colleague. I don’t know anything about your intention or hardware design. It is a little pointless to just give me some dts and ask me whether this would work or not.

From the aspect that if you just want backlight work, then either pwm and gpio would work. You can think of PWM is more like a advanced function, which can let you adjust the brightness. While GPIO is just 0 and 1, it means you either see a totally blank screen, or you see the full brightness case.

If you set this pin to pwm and it worked, probably means you already assigned this pin to be controlled by the pwm driver.

My reason to say you don’t need to dig into PWM is because if you just want to control a backlight, then controlling GPIO is the easiest way and I don’t want you get into another difficulty (study pwm driver). However, if pwm works, then it is good.
