MIPI Display Support

thomoray · October 22, 2022, 11:16am

Hi all, hoping somebody might be able to confirm or advise.

I received my Rock5b and along side of it a 10.1 MIPI DSI display from Allnetchina.

I can successfully boot the board in both Android and Ubuntu with no issues without the MIPI display plugged in.

As soon as I plug the display in the power light stays green and from here on in will not boot with or without the display installed.

The only solution is to wipe the emmc card and reload a fresh image again.

Happy to supply any information needed but can confirm the power supply used to run the system also runs my Lenovo laptop show should be suppling enough power overall.

More surprising is the issue when unplugging the display that the board will never boot again.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Cheers

Ray

It’s like the cable is plugged in at wrong side? Please take a picture of the FPC cable.

thomoray · October 31, 2022, 2:22pm

Hi Jack, thanks for getting back to me and the suggestion as silly as it may sound was great.

I double checked both ends for the FPC cable, reloaded android and can now see power on the screen.

Unfortunately I still cannot see any picture.

After this I reloaded ubuntu to check logs and am not able to see any logs around mipi when running dmesg | grep mipi

This is based on some instructions I followed on the rockchip website https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_MIPI-DSI

I also have no picture in ubuntu and also there is no directory created under /sys/class/drm/card0-DSI-1

Any suggestions on what I can do next?

Cheers

Ray

Hi @jack I have progressed further with my issue.

I can now get the 10.1 inch screen to power on under ubuntu.
This was done via adding dtoverlay=rock-5b-radxa-display-10fhd to config.txt

The issue now in both android and ubuntu is the resolution is to high as its set at 1200x1920
The screen purchased from allnetchina only supports 1290x800

here is an output of dmesg | grep vop

rock@rock-5b:~$ dmesg | grep vop

And here is the output of /sys/class/drm/card0-DSI-1 modes

rock@rock-5b:/sys/class/drm/card0-DSI-1$ cat modes
1200x1920
rock@rock-5b:/sys/class/drm/card0-DSI-1$

i can see there are two rk3588 overlays available in the kernal tree for 5.10-rock5

rk3588-rock-5b-radxa-10p1inch-display.dtsi this one has the correct resolution where
rk3588-rock-5b-radxa-display-10fhd.dtsi this has the 1200x1920 resolution

Is there a way to have the other overlay added to the next build?

Cheers

Also as a note here is the serial output of the Android boot setting the resolution

Hi Jack,

is this the correct way to connect between Rock 5B and Radxa display 10.1 inch?
Thank you.

thomoray · November 7, 2022, 9:20pm

Hi Akal, guessing you are not able to get the display working either?

I have it connected the same as yourself but had no luck after days of trying and even rebuilding Ubuntu from source and getting the mipi-dsi to run at the right resolution.

Hoping somebody from radxa can guide further.

I can’t make it to work.

hannes-campidell · November 8, 2022, 8:58am

Stephen · November 8, 2022, 7:57am

Hi, @akal

The hardware connection is correct.

I’m working on Radxa Display 10HD now, please give me some time.
Will update to you when I finish it.

akal · November 10, 2022, 12:42am

Thank you Stephen.

hannes-campidell · November 10, 2022, 7:10pm

@Stephen will this also work with the 8 inch touch from ameridroid: https://ameridroid.com/products/radxa-display-8-in-1280x800

Stephen · November 21, 2022, 1:09pm

Hi, Radxa Display 10HD works on ROCK 5B.

Please try the following steps.

Upgrade kernel to version at least 5.10.110-30-rockchip .

# apt install -y linux-5.10-rock-5-latest

Add one line to file /boot/config.txt. Like this.

dtoverlay=rock-5b-radxa-display-10hd

And then execute command.

# update_extlinux.sh

Reboot the device

Stephen · November 21, 2022, 1:09pm

Hi, Yes. See https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/accessories/radxa-display-8hd

hannes-campidell · November 21, 2022, 8:06pm

wow very cool maybe i will buy one (because i now have a exploitable nintendo switch with a touch)

thomoray · November 21, 2022, 9:28pm

Hi Stephen, thanks will give it another go on Ubuntu.

Will I need to build Android from source to to use the screen with it?

Cheers

Stephen · November 22, 2022, 1:31am

Hi, @thomoray

This needs @yanw’s help.

@yanw Can you release one Android image with Radxa Display 10HD?

akal · November 22, 2022, 3:41am

Hi Stephen.
I tried command ‘sudo install -y linux-5.10-rpck-5-latest’ and the result is not 5.10.110-30-rockchip or later, but Linux rock-5b 5.10.66-28-rockchip-gc428536281d6.
For your information I use the official image from Radxa.
What should i do to make it work?

Stephen · November 22, 2022, 4:14am

Show me your file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.
