PWM is not working, what is required in the device tree and such to get it to work.
did the echo 0 > export
cd pwm0
echo 1000000 > period
echo 500000 > duty_cycle
echo 1 > enable
but saw no change on the display.
Help, Thanks,
Terry
hello terrysu50z,
may I know which display monitor you’re using, what’s the connection you’d setup to connect a display.
thanks
mipi dsi monitor.
Remember that r32.3.1 src code is missing some device tree files, from when I got the display working.
Terry
Please paste your schematic for dsi part and dts files.
attaching the deviceTree, schematic is being generated by the hardware guy, this is done and attached. below.

deviceTree (252.3 KB)
what type of things should I be looking at in the device tree to make the pwm work. From the forum posts it looks like the pwm is only working in one device tree, that is not in the r32.3.1 source code. So can you attach the working pwm device tree?
tx2_dsi.pdf (82.3 KB)
You do understand that my mipi dsi display and the backlight are working. The hardware guy has asked me to see if the pwm can be used to dim the display, and that is what I am trying to do.
I have not found anything other than the #1 post to do anything with the backlight level. Is there other command/services that will change the backlight level?
Thanks,
Terry
Anybody there? Is this still being worked on?
Thanks,
xset dpms force off works, but none of the backlight/dimming commands work.
Any more Nvidia input?
Thanks,
Is there any node under /sys/class/backlight?
What is the component “007-7872-00” in your schematic?
Do you want to use LCD0_BKLT_PWM or LCD1_BKLT_PWM?
07-7872-00, IC, 1.2MHZ PWM WHITE LED DRIVER Micrel MIC2287C-34YML
LCD0 is the one to be used.
Thanks,
nothing in the/sys/class/backlight dir.
is the pwm_bl.c probe used? What in the device tree causes the backlight to be probed?
Hello,
Do you mean this LED DRIVER Micrel MIC2287C-34YML is not in use?
Could you try to add a backlight node similar to below one to trigger the pwm_bl.c?
For the “pwms”, please write &tegra_pwm1.
ERROR (phandle_references): Reference to non-existent node or label “vdd_bl_reg”
ERROR (phandle_references): Reference to non-existent node or label “gpio”
More information please
commented out the previous errors got.
No compatible prop in backlight node

Looks like Nvidia has lost files for the r32.3.1 release board-panel.c looks for /backlight in the device tree, and I can’t find any /backlight in any device tree files.
sources/kernel/nvidia/drivers/video/tegra/dc/panel/board-panel.c: np_parent = of_find_node_by_path(“/backlight”);
Please provide the files to make this work.
Thanks,
Hi,
I am not sure why you asked “I can’t find any /backlight in any device tree files.”
What we are doing now is adding a backlight node in device tree…
Please follow the guidance as the linux page. And since it is a public documentation, you need to modify the regulator and gpio to match your custom board… Direclty copy & paste will surely not work…
And the function in board-panel.c should not be called, unless you modify something in driver.
After adding below in dts, I can see backlight node in /sys/class/backlight/.
backlight {

compatible = "pwm-backlight";

I get the same error, No compatible prop in backlight node.
it appears to come from the line sources/kernel/nvidia/drivers/video/tegra/dc/panel/board-panel.c: np_parent = of_find_node_by_path(“/backlight”);
Thus I am asking why board-panel.c is failing! and looking for /backlight.
There is no node in /sys/class/backlight,
What code builds the /sys/class/backlight directory?
Please provide the files to make this work.
Thanks,
