5. LCD¶
5.1. Config Configuration¶
In ROC-RK3566-PC SDK, the default configuration file kernel/arch/arm64/configs/firefly_defconfig of ROC-RK3566-PC has already set the LCD-related configuration. If you modify it yourself, please pay attention to it. The following configuration is added:
CONFIG_DRM_ROCKCHIP=y
CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_DW_MIPI_DSI=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE=y
5.2. MIPI DTS Configuration¶
ROC-RK3566-PC SDK has MIPI DSI DTS file:kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3566-roc-pc-mipi101_M101014_BE45_A1.dts,we would take the dsi0 configuration as an example to introduce the related LCD driver.
5.2.1. Pin Configuration¶
we can see the following statement from the DTS file:
&dsi0 {
status = "okay";
rockchip,lane-rate = <500>;
dsi0_panel: panel@0 {
...
reset-gpios = <&gpio0 RK_PC2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
...
enable-gpios = <&gpio0 RK_PC7 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
...
};
The power control pins of the LCD are defined here:
| NAME | GPIO | GPIO_ACTIVE |
|---|---|---|
| reset-gpios | GPIO0_C2 | GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW |
| enable-gpios | GPIO0_C7 | GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH |
On the hardware signal, the enable-gpios is active at high level and reset_gpios is active at low levle. Please refer to the section “GPIO Usage” for specific pin configuration.
5.2.2. Backlight Configuration¶
The backlight information is configured in the DTS file, as follows:
backlight:backlight {
status = "okay";
compatible = "pwm-backlight";
pwms = <&pwm4 0 50000 1>;
brightness-levels = <
60 60 60 61 61 61 62 62
62 63 63 63 64 64 64 65

68 68 68 69 69 69 70 70
70 71 71 71 72 72 72 73
73 73 74 74 74 75 75 75

104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111
112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119

>;
default-brightness-level = <200>;
enable-gpios = <&gpio0 RK_PC0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
};
};
enable-gpios: backlight enable pin, active high level.
pwms property: use to configure pwm. in the example, default used pwm4, which period is 50000ns(20KHz), and pwm is negative.
brightness-levels property: Generally take the value 255 as a scale, so the “general brightness-levels” is an array of 256 elements. When the PWM is set to positive polarity, the back-light is positive from 0 to 255, and the duty cycle is changed from 0% to 100%. The negative polarity of 255 to 0 bits is changed from 100% to 0%. When the PWM is set to negative polarity, the opposite is also conversed.
default-brightness-level property: the default backlight brightness, range is frome 0 to 255.
For details, please refer to the documentation in the kernel: kernel/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/backlight/pwm-backlight.txt
5.2.3. Display Timing Configuration¶
5.2.3.1. Power On/Off Sequence¶
Usually, the power on/off sequence of MIPI screen is in the chapter “Power on/off sequence” of screen specifications. You can modify the dts according to the power on/off sequence of screen specifications. The panel node has the following attributes:
&dsi0 {
status = "okay";
//rockchip,lane-rate = <500>;
dsi0_panel: panel@0 {
status = "okay";
compatible = "simple-panel-dsi";
...
enable-delay-ms = <35>;
prepare-delay-ms = <6>;
reset-delay-ms = <25>;
init-delay-ms = <55>;
unprepare-delay-ms = <0>;
disable-delay-ms = <20>;
size,width = <120>;
size,height = <170>;
dsi,flags = <(MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO | MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_BURST | MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM | MIPI_DSI_MODE_EOT_PACKET)>;
dsi,format = <MIPI_DSI_FMT_RGB888>;
dsi,lanes = <4>;
...
};
};
After the MIPI is powered on or off, it needs to send initialization or exit instructions to make it work normally. For the list of initialization and exit instructions, please refer to kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3566-roc-pc-mipi101_M101014_BE45_A1.dts, the list is as follows:
&dsi0 {
status = "okay";
//rockchip,lane-rate = <500>;
dsi0_panel: panel@0 {
...
panel-init-sequence = [
//39 00 04 B9 83 10 2E
// 15 00 02 CF FF
05 78 01 11
05 32 01 29
//15 00 02 35 00
];
panel-exit-sequence = [
05 00 01 28
05 00 01 10
];
...
}
};
Next, let’s take a look at the implementation of power on/off timing sequence in the driver. The specific implementation is in kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c:
static int panel_simple_disable(struct drm_panel *panel)
{
...
if (p->backlight) {
p->backlight->props.power = FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN;
p->backlight->props.state |= BL_CORE_FBBLANK;
backlight_update_status(p->backlight);
}
if (p->desc->delay.disable)
panel_simple_sleep(p->desc->delay.disable);
if (p->cmd_type == CMD_TYPE_MCU) {
err = panel_simple_xfer_mcu_cmd_seq(p, p->desc->exit_seq);
if (err)
dev_err(panel->dev, "failed to send exit cmds seq\n");
}
...
}
static int panel_simple_unprepare(struct drm_panel *panel)
{
...
if (p->desc->exit_seq) {
if (p->dsi)
panel_simple_xfer_dsi_cmd_seq(p, p->desc->exit_seq);
else if (p->cmd_type == CMD_TYPE_SPI)
err = panel_simple_xfer_spi_cmd_seq(p, p->desc->exit_seq);
if (err)
dev_err(panel->dev, "failed to send exit cmds seq\n");
}
gpiod_direction_output(p->reset_gpio, 1);
if(!p->enable_on_always){
gpiod_direction_output(p->enable_gpio, 0);
}
...
}
static int panel_simple_prepare(struct drm_panel *panel)
{
...
gpiod_direction_output(p->enable_gpio, 1);
if (p->desc->delay.prepare)
panel_simple_sleep(p->desc->delay.prepare);
...
gpiod_direction_output(p->reset_gpio, 1);
if (p->desc->delay.reset)
panel_simple_sleep(p->desc->delay.reset);
gpiod_direction_output(p->reset_gpio, 0); //Because the driver uses an API like ``gpiod`` when controlling the reset pin timing
//so, if the DTS is configured with low level active, the reset pin will be pulled high, that is reversed
if (p->desc->delay.init)
panel_simple_sleep(p->desc->delay.init);
if (p->desc->init_seq) {
if (p->dsi)
panel_simple_xfer_dsi_cmd_seq(p, p->desc->init_seq);
else if (p->cmd_type == CMD_TYPE_SPI)
err = panel_simple_xfer_spi_cmd_seq(p, p->desc->init_seq);
if (err)
dev_err(panel->dev, "failed to send init cmds seq\n");
}
if(p->desc->delay.mipi_data){
panel_simple_sleep(p->desc->delay.mipi_data);
}
...
}
static int panel_simple_enable(struct drm_panel *panel)
{
...
if (p->cmd_type == CMD_TYPE_MCU) {
err = panel_simple_xfer_mcu_cmd_seq(p, p->desc->init_seq);
if (err)
dev_err(panel->dev, "failed to send init cmds seq\n");
}
if (p->desc->delay.enable)
panel_simple_sleep(p->desc->delay.enable);
if (p->backlight) {
p->backlight->props.state &= ~BL_CORE_FBBLANK;
p->backlight->props.power = FB_BLANK_UNBLANK;
backlight_update_status(p->backlight);
}
...
}
For Uboot, it is implemented in u-boot/drivers/video/drm/rockchip_panel.c. The implementation function is in panel_simple_unprepare、panel_simple_prepare、panel_simple_enable、panel_simple_disable, the specific implementation can be viewed by yourself.
5.2.3.2. Display-timings¶
display-timings are defined in DTS:
display-timings {
native-mode = <&timing1>;
timing1: timing1 {
clock-frequency = <72600000>;//<80000000>;
hactive = <800>;//<768>;
vactive = <1280>;
hsync-len = <14>; //20, 50,10
hback-porch = <26>; //50, 56,10
hfront-porch = <32>;//50, 30,180
vsync-len = <8>;//4
vback-porch = <20>;//4
vfront-porch = <80>;//8
hsync-active = <0>;
vsync-active = <0>;
de-active = <0>;
pixelclk-active = <0>;
};
};
Generally, the relevant parameters can be found in the screen specification. As follows kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c, panel_simple_probe initializes the function that gets the timing sequence.
static int panel_simple_probe(struct device *dev, const struct panel_desc *desc){
...
panel->base.funcs = &panel_simple_funcs;
...
}
...
static const struct drm_panel_funcs panel_simple_funcs = {
.loader_protect = panel_simple_loader_protect,
.disable = panel_simple_disable,
.unprepare = panel_simple_unprepare,
.prepare = panel_simple_prepare,
.enable = panel_simple_enable,
.get_modes = panel_simple_get_modes,
.get_timings = panel_simple_get_timings,
};
panel_simple_get_timings was defined in kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c:
static int panel_simple_get_timings(struct drm_panel *panel, unsigned int num_timings, struct display_timing *timings)
{
struct panel_simple *p = to_panel_simple(panel);
unsigned int i;
if (p->desc->num_timings < num_timings)
num_timings = p->desc->num_timings;
if (timings)
for (i = 0; i < num_timings; i++)
timings[i] = p->desc->timings[i];
return p->desc->num_timings;
}
