Hi everyone,

I want to enable HDMI on Custom Carrier Boards , I foun it‘s not working follow this steps:

======================================
Enabling HDMI on Custom Carrier Boards

This information is specific for modifying the device tree file for your custom carrier board and does not apply when you use the Developer Kit carrier board.

  1. Download the example HDMI DTS file

    Download the 鈥渢egra234-dcb-p3701-0000-a02-p3737-0000-a01_hdmi.dtsi鈥� file from https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-linux-r3411

  2. Modify kernel dts with HDMI connector support

    The JetPack5.0-DP release Kernel sources includes a dtsi file that sets DCB with DP connector support by default. Users will need to update the provided dtsi file with the downloaded dtsi file to enable HDMI setting.

    Path: <Kernel_Sources>/hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x/concord/kernel-dts/

  3. Modify your board dts to replace the default DCB dtsi:

— a/tegra234-p3701-0000-p3737-0000.dts
+++ b/tegra234-p3701-0000-p3737-0000.dts

#include “cvb/tegra234-p3737-camera-modules.dtsi”
Recompile the Kernel by completing instructions in Kernel Customization .

  1. Reflash your board with the updated Kernel and Kernel DTB

5、set HDMI ports GPIO7_5V0_HDMI_EN is high ，like this

6、reboot ，No display on the display screen.
Are there any other parts of the device tree that need to be modified?

Did you remember to add hotplug gpio according to your hardware design?

Please change M0 to your gpio in use.

Hello,Do I need to set M0 as an input pin or an output pin?
My schematic has HPD set to active low logic, contrary to the reference design, what changes do my drivers need to make?

5

Then set the GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH to GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW.

Hi WayneWWW,
I have set PM.00 to GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW , the system up，no display on the display screen. But during startup with”boot options’’ steps is ok about display.

What is the monitor you are using now?

Currently the Orin HDMI driver is not yet ready and only support to 2K.

8

Also, could you share the “lsmod” on your side?

… Honestly, this photo does not help at all.

Please share me the xrandr result…

You are running in 3440x1440, which may not be supported. Please try with 1920x1080p first.

14

Hi WayneWWW,
Setting the Resolution of the display with 1920x1080p, It’s not working. Is there anything else I should pay attention to this issue.

15

Follow the debug method I posted here. And share the log in txt file.

Also, hotplug the cable and see if dmesg got anything printed. This is to validate hotplug can work or not.

Hi WayneWWW,
It is failed to rmmod nvidia-modeset and nvidia. I can’t find anything about hotplug. Debug logs like this:
orin_HDMI_Display fail.txt (75.0 KB)

17

please use lsof to check which process is using those modules. Kill those processes and then rmmod again.

18

Hi WayneWWW,

I have rmmod the modules(nvidia-modeset \ nvidia) ,and insmod them . But hdmi display is not Ok !
orin_hdmi_displayfail220607.txt (99.6 KB)

19

Of course not OK. This is just to dump log…

20

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

So where is the log after you insmod…? You didn’t show the most important part at all…
