OMAP3 dmtimer / pwm-bl flicker

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

 



I have a DM3730 with the dmtimer (timer10) controlling the pwm
backlight for my LCD.

pwms = <&pwm10 0 5000000 0>;
brightness-levels = <0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100>;
default-brightness-level = <7>;

If I cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb0 to setup a test pattern then start to
change the brightness in user-space, there is a momentary flicker on
the backlight when the backlight changes intensity.  Screens that are
predominantly black are not as noticeable.

We also have a Win CE implementation on the same board which does not
do this, so I believe it to be software related and not hardware.  Has
anyone else noticed this?  If so, might you have any suggestions to
reducing this?  I checked 4.9.y and 4.11.y and both seem to exhibit
the same behavior.  I don't have other pwm options, so I cannot
determine if this is a problem with dmtimer or the pwm-bl driver.
