Hdmi port cannot display when config the dcb to be hdmi

Hi guys, I met a problem when config the dcb from DP to HDMI.

Our custom board use an converter to convert the HDMI signal to VGA. Here is my configuration:

# Linux_for_Tegra/nano.conf
source "${LDK_DIR}/jetson-orin-nano-devkit-nvme.conf";

PINMUX_CONFIG="tegra234-mb1-bct-pinmux-p3767-hdmi-a03.dtsi";    # hdmi
PMC_CONFIG="tegra234-mb1-bct-padvoltage-p3767-hdmi-a03.dtsi";   # hdmi
EMMC_CFG="flash_t234_qspi_nvme.xml";

# https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.2/DeveloperGuide/SD/FlashingSupport.html#using-flash-sh-with-orin-nx-and-nano
UPHYLANE="c7x2"
if [ "${UPHYLANE}" = "c7x1" ]; then
	UPHYLANE_CONFIG="tegra234-mb1-bct-uphylane-si-c7x1.dtsi";
	EMMC_CFG="flash_t234_qspi_nvme_c7.xml";
elif [ "${UPHYLANE}" = "c7x2" ]; then
	UPHYLANE_CONFIG="tegra234-mb1-bct-uphylane-si-c7x2.dtsi";
	EMMC_CFG="flash_t234_qspi_nvme_c7.xml";
fi

# update_flash_args:
update_flash_args()
{
	# All updates should go into update_flash_args_common to allow
	# for other files to include this file and override variables.
	update_flash_args_common "$@"

	if [ "${board_sku}" = "0001" ]; then
		DTB_FILE=kenexs-v700.dtb;
	elif [ "${board_sku}" = "0003" ]; then
		DTB_FILE=kenexs-v700-nano.dtb;
	else
		echo "Error: Unrecognized module SKU ${board_sku}";
		exit 1;
	fi
	TBCDTB_FILE="${DTB_FILE}";
}
# Linux_for_Tegra/sources/hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x/p3768/kernel-dts/kenexs-v700.dts
/dts-v1/;

#include "tegra234-p3767-0001-p3768-0000-a0.dts"
#include "tegra234-dcb-p3767-0000-hdmi.dtsi"
#include "cvb/kenexs-v700-common.dtsi"

/ {
	model = "KENEXS V700 V01 Board";

	/* C4 - PCIe0 10GigE AQC113-B1-I */
	pcie@14160000 {
		status = "okay";
                max-link-speed = <0x3>;
	};
};

When the #include "tegra234-dcb-p3767-0000-hdmi.dtsi" is not included in dts, the xrandr show as following:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 527mm x 296mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+  59.94
   1600x900      60.00
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02
   1280x720      59.94
   1152x864      75.00
   1024x768      75.03    60.00
   800x600       75.00    60.32
   720x480       59.94    59.94
   640x480       75.00    59.94

The screen list is not correct, and hot plug does not work.

But when the #include "tegra234-dcb-p3767-0000-hdmi.dtsi" is included, the display is failed to show up. It shows something like “input signal is not supported” on screen. And the xrandr’s output is:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 640 x 480, maximum 32767 x 32767

Could you try a native HDMI monitor first instead of converter?

Also, you have to do full flash but not just replace kernel dtb in /boot/dtb.

Hi, @WayneWWW

Could you try a native HDMI monitor first instead of converter?

Sorry. As the converter is soldered on our board, we cannot do for that.

Also, you have to do full flash but not just replace kernel dtb in /boot/dtb.

Yes, I’ve seen another post motioned it. I did do tho full flash by ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh

It is possible to test Xavier NX devkit + Orin NX with that monitor you are using and see if you would see same issue?

Sorry again. We do not have the devkit. 😳

How about you directly flash your board with p3509 config first? We guarantee the full display software from this config is correct.

Does “p3509 config” means p3509-a02+p3767-0000-maxn.conf ?

p3509-a02+p3767-0000.conf

OK, I’ll try it.

 };

As our pcie config is as above, I change the dts, and rebuild and update it to kernel/dtb/tegra234-p3767-0001-p3509-a02.dtb. Then I do a full flash. After the system boot up. The xrandr’s output and the screen is the same as before.

please share lsmod result.

I don’t know what I’ve missed. But now the problem disappear. Here is what I’ve done.

We use USB-A as the flash port, and the ID pin is always pulled up. Referring to this, I use the following command to do flash:

# create system.img with usb host
echo "create system.img with usb host"
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh \
       --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
       -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml \
       -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml \
       --no-systemimg" \
       --network usb0 \
       --no-flash nano external

# create initrd with usb device mode
echo "create initrd with usb device mode"
sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh \
       --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
       -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml \
       -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml \
       --no-systemimg" \
       --network usb0 \
       --use-backup-image nano-usb-client external

With the above command, no matter how many times I flash it, the display port is always missed in xrandr, which is the reason of this post. But after I’ve done a normal flash as the following:

sudo ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh --external-device nvme0n1p1 \
  -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml -p "-c bootloader/t186ref/cfg/flash_t234_qspi.xml" \
  --showlogs --network usb0 nano-usb-client internal

The problem disappear, the HDMI-0 shows up in xrandr’s output.

I try to reproduce the problem, but failed. May be it’s because that some device tree file is not updated.

Yes, that sounds like some software didn’t get updated in your method.
