I didn't look at how to integrate my local changes but instead I tried to see what prevented modetest to work, (with the posted changes and the palette loading the framebuffer was operational but not modetest). It appears that when modetesting the LCDC loses its sync, and I guess that's because the framebuffer addresses are changed while the raster is still on, which seems inappropriate. Since the v2s seem to cope with framebuffer ceiling boundaries that are off, my first guess would be they don't use it and directly use the raster timings and the bpp format for the boundary and sees the framebuffer addresses changes (base + ceiling) as atomic. My local changes try to cope with that by handling the sync loss irq and it gives me a working modetest, however it is not enough to get modetest -v (ie. with vsynced page flipping) working. My impression would be that to work with v1, the following would be in order (in addition to the palette): - make changes to the controller with the raster disabled - handle FRAME_DONE and SYNC_LOST with v1 as well (the driver assumes it is only valid for v2, which is false) > > The posted changes and the above mentioned palette loading missing bit > > are specific to the DRM driver. > > > > However there are other shortcomings to the proper functioning of the > > LCDC on some platforms (I am currently focusing on the LCDK but I guess > > it should be true for all da850 based systems), which are not inherent to > > the DRM driver driver but which strongly relate to it: > > > > - The pixel clock rate setting (eg. currently the davinci clk can't cope > > properly with the DRM driver way of setting the clock and doesn't use > > the common clock framework) > > - The memory bandwidth/latency requirements for the LCDC are not met > > with the default priority settings (apparently there is a fix in > > da850_lcd_hw_init of: http://arago-project.org/git/projects/linux-davinci.git?p=projects/linux-davinci.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-omapl138-lcdk.c;h=689b4f304011e09e262782cf8c4b96eba00ac28b;hb=HEAD). > > Of course this one affects both the DRM and framebuffer systems. > > > > There is also memory bandwidth issues on am335x and we are still looking > for a proper system level fix. > > > Hence to test the LCDK my crude local changes include (ie. on top of the > > posted changes and some dts or sync_lost recovery bits): > > - palette loading > > - tweak of the pixel clock to cope with davinci clk > > If you have proper a fixes for these, please send a patch.
