Jetson displayport output not bit-perfect

Hello,

We face an issue similar to Full range RGB strange behavior on Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit
When we try to output full-range RGB data over Displayport output of the Jetson, we notice that the output is not bit-perfect.
We also output a gradient color bar, and also notice that some values of the gradient are not correct on the input. We check this by grabbing the DP output using a frame grabber.

However, in our case /sys/kernel/debug/tegradc.common/tegra_win.1/degamma/degamma is already set to 0, and disabling the cmu by setting /sys/class/graphics/fb1/device/cmu_enable to 0 leads to an even more destorted image.

How can the processing blocks in the display controller all be bypassed, such that frames in the framebuffer are sent to Displayport without any modifications?

Hi,

Previous issue is on HDMI but not DP. As I remember, full range and limited range also matters. Have you checked your case is on limited range or full range?

Also, it won’t bypass the processing blocks.

Hello,

Yes, previous issue is on HDMI, but most part of the output processing line (including pre-comp and post-comp) are the same.
Our case is also on full-range.

Is it on rel-35 or rel-32 release?

Release 35

Is it on custom board or devkit? Are you able to reproduce on devkit?

What is the result you got?
I mean what is the expected value and what is the value you got in frame grabber?

It’s on a custom board. I will also try to reproduce on the devkit.
For example when the framebuffer to output contains the value (R,G,B)=(230,0,0), on the DP input I read back the value (231,0,0).

I can also reproduce the issue on the devkit, using it’s HDMI output.

please use the type C to DP cable if you care about DP case on devkit…

The type C port on jetson Xavier AGX devkit is also DP port…

Tried it also on the DP, this gives the same result.

Hi,
Your observation is correct that there is minor deviation. It looks neglectable and should not be noticeable in naked eye. We will check with our team and see if we can have further enhancement in the future.

Thank you.
It’s indeed a minor devition, but we use some exact colors for encodings and therefore need to sent the pixeldata untouched to the DP output.
