Re: [PATCH v1 3/3] ARM: dts: am335x-bone: add support for beaglebone LCD4 cape

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Pekon,

I had some issues with this patch. Booting linux-next on a BeagleBone
Black with this exact LCD left me with an unusable white screen. Please
see below for some details.

I had to set this to <1>. Does that make sense?

Are you sure these timings are ok? When enabling the sync control I get
an usable display, but it looks a bit funny. For example an all black
display looks very clear and has a dotted pattern.

I tried to take a picture of it but it doesn't show.

Also I'm just guessing about the timings, maybe it's something else?
