Introduction

The AIO-3399ProC development board supports two LCD screen interfaces by default, one is LVDS and the other is EDP. The position of the interface on the board is as follows:

Pin configuration

AIO-3399ProC SDK has LVDS DSI DTS file: kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399pro-firefly-aioc-lvds-HSX101H40C.dts, we can see the following statement from this file:

        compatible = "rockchip,rk3399pro-firefly-aioc-lvds", "rockchip,rk3399pro";

lcd_en:(GPIO4_D1)GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH
lcd_pwr_en:(GPIO0_B0)GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH
lcd_rst:(GPIO4_D6)GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH

All are active at high level. Please refer to the section “GPIO Usage” for specific pin configuration.

LVDS configuration backlight

The AIO-3399ProC development board has an external backlight interface to control the screen backlight, as shown in the following figure:

_images/lcd_back_light.jpg

The backlight information is configured in the DTS file: kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399pro-firefly-core.dtsi, as follows:

/ {
    compatible = "rockchip,rk3399-firefly-core", "rockchip,rk3399";

        default-brightness-level = <200>;
};

pwms attribute: Configure PWM. In the example, pwm0 is used by default, and 25000ns is the period (40 KHz). LVDS needs to add backlight power control pin. You can see the following statement in kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399pro-firefly-aioc-lvds-HSX101H40C.dts:

&backlight {
    status = "okay";
    enable-gpios = <&gpio1 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    brightness-levels = < 150 151
    152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159
    160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167
    168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175
    176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183
    184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191
    192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199
    200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207
    208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215
    216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223
    224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231
    232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239
    240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247
    248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255>;
};

Therefore, the DTS file needs to be modified when using it.

Brightness-levels property: Configure the backlight brightness array, the maximum value is 255, configure the dark area and the bright area, and adjust the ratio of the bright area array to 255. For example, in the example, the dark area is 255-221, and the bright area is 220-0. default-brightness-level attribute: the default backlight brightness at startup, the range is 0-255. For details, please refer to the documentation in the kernel: kernel/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/pwm-backlight.txt

Configure display timing

Unlike the EDP screen, the Timing of the LVDS screen is written in the DTS file. The following statement can be seen in kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399pro-firefly-aioc-lvds-HSX101H40C.dts:

Init Code

After the lvds screen is powered up, an initialization command needs to be sent to make it work. The initialization command needs to be generated by the following tool documents, download TC358764_5_774_5XBG_DSI-LVDS_Tv11p_nm_1280x800.xls

Calculate LVDS panel-init-sequence

Take 1280x800 single LVDS as an example: Open TC358764_5_774_5XBG_DSI-LVDS_Tv11p_nm_1280x800.xls _images/page.png

Select “timing parameters_sync_event” on the page and fill in the LVDS timing yellow cell according to the sequence of LVDS screen. Generally, only the following cell need to be filled in.

  • HPW / HBPR / HDISPR / HFPR corresponding hsync-len / hback-porch / hactive / hfront-porch

  • VPW / VBPR / VDISPR / VFPR corresponding vhsync-len / vback-porch / vactive / vfront-porch

After LVDS timing is filled in, it is also necessary to configure general parameters _images/parameter.png

  • 1.Confirm LVDS link and LVDS output format according to LVDS screen specification and select screen parameters.

  • 2.Calculate LVDS clock (the blue cell cannot be written, which needs to be calculated automatically by the Yellow cell), and fill in DSI Clock(HOST), Pixel Clock Source, Pixel Clock Divider。The calculation formula is as follows:DSI Clock/Pixel Clock Source/Pixel Clock Divider=LVDS Clock

Fill in the above yellow cell and basically complete the configuration. Next, select “source” on the page to see the converted comment _images/source.png Take the above example “013C 00030005”, Mipi command should be “29 02 06 3C 01 05 00 03 00”

  • 29 : packet ID

  • 02 : 2ms delay

  • 06 : 6 bytes

  • 3C 01 : address = 0x013C

  • 00 03 00 05 : data=0x05000300 Write all the addresses of the page source into the data to complete the panel init sequence.

You can see the initialization instruction list of lvds in kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399pro-firefly-aioc-lvds-HSX101H40C.dts:

FAQs

1. does the screen shake or flash?

Check whether the screen parameters exceed the limited cycle of the screen specification, and check the screen clock size. “Timing parameters_sync_event” all parameter changes must be adjusted synchronously with comment.

2. Abnormal color display

Try to adjust color mapping or LVDS timing synchronously.

**Note * *: the page “how to use” has detailed steps. For other parameter descriptions, please refer to the document “page” menu.
