Hi, Since I do not manage to get a splashscreen with the simple-panel driver, I tried the other way: adding a driver for imx-parrallel-display that exposes the display-timings. So far I managed to add a video mode to my framebuffer: devinfo fb0 Resources: num: 0 start: 0x2005a000 size: 0x0007f800 Available modes: rk043fn07h: 480x272@0 Parameters: enable: 0 mode_name: rk043fn07h shadowfb: 1 But there is no refresh rate? Don't know if it is a problem, but my framebuffer still doesn't want to work (however it is more or less better than before): fb0.enable=1 imx-ipuv3-crtc imx-ipuv3-crtc0: ipu_crtc_mode_set: mode->xres: 480 imx-ipuv3-crtc imx-ipuv3-crtc0: ipu_crtc_mode_set: mode->yres: 272 imx-ipuv3-crtc imx-ipuv3-crtc0: initializing display controller failed with -22 So far so good I'll continue to dig up, but if you have some advices, it would be helpful!
