HDMI not output not working on Xavier

#1

Board boots correctly; can connect via ssh; can unminimize; but HDMI display is showing only initial logo and then goes blank /on both minimized and unminimized runs/.

Current display is purely HDMI with no adapters whatsoever.

Attaching some logs:

Any ideas?

PS: Could this be a display resolution issue?
PS2: The exact same display is working correctly when flashing the board - its showing the initial prompts etc…

Please share me the dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Also, attach them as text file.

#4

Check attached.
dmesg.txt (78.1 KB) Xorg.0.txt (20.7 KB)

#5

There is no error log from kernel side and also the xorg is still there.

What if you unblank the monitor and use keyboard with ctrl+ alt +F1~F6 to see if it can switch to tty console?

#6

Nothing happened when I did what you wanted.
But anyways, I managed to solve my non-working display issue >> it was a messed up SOR node.

Now I have another issue >> the screen is shifted 1/8 to the left. This isn’t a huge issue, because the picture is sharp and is displayed correctly.

From what I understood till now:

  1. Module correctly detects and sets the resolution;
  2. The issue is maybe related to overscan settings and type of monitor

Any hints on how to fix this?

#7

Can you explain what is messed up here?

Now I have another issue >> the screen is shifted 1/8 to the left. This isn’t a huge issue, because the picture is sharp and is displayed correctly.

Could you use some common modes like 1080p to verify the functionality first?

#8

Also, you can try it if your monitor is fine now. It shall trigger the framebuffer console to tty1 ~6 according to which one is in use (F1~F6).

#9

In resume >> initially I had no screen whatsoever, because I was using HDMI to DVI cable and DVI monitor. I played with the e3366-disp.dtsi and I had disabled all the HDMI nodes, with hopes that this may help.
After I got my pure HDMI monitor and HDMI to HDMI cables and got some video running on the initial boot prompts and stuff, I did not return the above settings and thats why I got only ssh connectivity and no video.

Now I’m using 1920x1080. Bellow is xrandr output for current display.

Screen 0: minimum 8x8, current 1920x1080, maximum 32767x32767
HDMI-0: connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 480mmx270mm

720x400 70.04
640x480 75.00 72.81 67.06 59.94

I think the whole issue is related to 480mmx270mm being wrong. IMO it should be 508mmx270mm

I think there are few things to clarify. Or this whole topic will just get misled again and again.

  1. Is current issue really related to unminimize command?

  2. Is this a xavier 8gb issue on devkit? or on some custom carrier board?

  3. If this is custom board, then do you have devkit on your side?

#11

My answers are after the >>

  1. Is current issue really related to unminimize command? >> no I had another topic for this, and that issue is solved. Also the topic is HDMI output not working where is the misleading?
  2. Is this a xavier 8gb issue on devkit? or on some custom carrier board? >> custom carrier board
  3. If this is custom board, then do you have devkit on your side? >> at the moment no, but I can have it on monday

PS2: The exact same display is working correctly when flashing the board - its showing the initial prompts etc…

I followed your previous topics to this one so it lets me think this issue happens after you run unminimize command. And what would be misled by this? “HDMI not output” is just a very vague statement and lots of reason could cause such behavior. For example, if you said “this is after unminimize”, it will lead us to think issue is due to user space graphic drivers. This kind of driver is not related to DTS. To debug such case, I would ask you to try some non-X11 based usecase. For example, the framebuffer console as I mentioned in ctrl+alt +F1~6.

As for current issue, I would suggest you can follow below steps

  1. Check if same monitor has same issue on devkit HDMI port

  2. Check if this monitor has issue if you use pure sdk from jetpack with only HDMI configuration in DT (no unminimize).
