Hi,

not sound familiar but I think that the hdmi ddc client isn't set
on the correct i2c bus so EDID can't be retrieved.

I suggest to check if the hdmi ddc is set on the correct i2c bus
and if the dispaly is well connected.

Hi Benjamin,

Does the drm error below look familiar?

[    2.412661] [drm:hisi_dsi_probe] *ERROR* failed to find slave
encoder i2c client

Is that a real error or is there something else to look at?

Thanks!
Tom

I had a look at this failure, debugged this a bit...

Started with latest snapshot (135), X fails to load.

Rebuild kernel with the latest git, hikey-mali branch Rebuild boot
and system images using latest kernel, setup networking via eth0 by
default so I can ssh in.
Flash boot and system partitions using rebuilt images.
Reboot (1)

Looking into Xorg.0.log see the following error:

This is not a problem, the dsi module is waiting for HDMI module. When dsi module can't find HDMI slave encoder module it will return -EPROBE_DEFER to deffer probe.
After the HDMI module has been initialized. This error msg would not come again.
[    3.602363] hisi-drm smb:display-subsystem: DSI-1: EDID block 0
invalid.
EDID error doesn't matter now. Due to the unfixed signal issue, now we explicitly set the 720P timing parameters. So the timing parameters doesn't come from EDID.

Hello - this is in fact a major problem for us. We want to make the HDMI work “properly” with all monitors. We also need to investigate the possible SoC clock timing issue identified by Lars at Analog Devices. Therefore we want to enable the EDID data so that we can then test different display timings and configurations. 
To do testing, characterization and validation of different monitor timings we also need a command line tool for debugging to enable us to change the DSI timings and clock set ups on the SoC (see Lars emails) for different displays. Here is the use case:

1. Read EDID information on boot 
2. Boot up in known working 720p configuration (this is what happens today) 
3. User reads the EDID data using dmesg
4. Users logs in from remote PC using ssh
5. Using the EDID information and a debug tool which can adjust clock settings and DSI output configuration the user sets the monitor timings for different supported frequency, no of pixels, lines etc. The debug tool makes the appropriate changes in the SoC and the ADV7533. 
6. User records whether the monitor is working correctly
7. If the monitor fails the user can go back to the known working 720p setup using the debug tool. 

This will help us to characterize which timing setups work and which fail so that we can find the root cause of HDMI not working at different frequencies/configurations. 
Can you help on this?
Yes, I can read EDID properly with my local patch, i'll push this patch to 96boards' Github kernel as soon as possible.
Such a debug tool is something like the "modetest" tool in libdrm. I'll try it.

Hi
Thank you - that will be very helpful

But, the import fact is that:
Recent days i and our SoC guys are analyzing the HDMI signal issue. We have tested many mode timings on TV monitors and PC monitors and we found very a few mode timings can work, including the 720P. SoC guys said that TV monitors are follow the CEA 681 standard and our SoC can't math this standard and during our SoC design phase HDMI is not taken into account.
I'm afraid this signal can't be fixed and our SoC can't support HDMI well.

Can you explain the problem and the limitations of the SoC in technical detail? 
You say that a few timings do work including 720p. Can you explain the technical reason for this? 
Is it possible to determine which timing/configurations will work and which will not?

Hi yinshengbao and xieqian, could you two help to explain this?  Thanks.

Best regards,
Xinliang
Thank you for all your help on this. 

Kind regards
George


[   43.134240] [drm] phystopstateclklane is not ready.

Out of my depth here, punting to HiSilicon engineers.   Guodong can
you take up these errors with HiSilicon please.

Attached logs (dmesg, Xorg.0.log) from after every reboot.  In text
above you will see:
Reboot (x) -- logs are in directory x if the tarball

Also attached script (build.sh) I use to rebuild the images for
flashing.  It will need some rework as it is pretty custom to my
system.

Yeah, I realized that afterwards.  Seems like the Analog Device code
in drivers/gpu/drm/i2c/adv7533.c drivers/media/i2c/adv7533.c registers
one.

See: static int adv7533_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c, const struct
i2c_device_id *id)
       adv7533->i2c_main = i2c;
        adv7533->i2c_edid = i2c_new_dummy(i2c->adapter, edid_i2c_addr >>
1);
        if (!adv7533->i2c_edid)
                return -ENOMEM;

If I grep through the dmesg output:

It appears the HiSilicon DRM driver is initialized, then the ADV7533.
Could it just be the init order is wrong?

[    2.412661] [drm:hisi_dsi_probe] *ERROR* failed to find slave

The above error occurs before the ADV7533 driver is initialized.

[    3.603762] [drm] May has one empty edid block!

The above errors stem from a call to:

drm_connector *connector)

[    3.654185] hisi-drm smb:display-subsystem: fb0:  frame buffer device
[    3.654192] hisi-drm smb:display-subsystem: registered panic notifier

These indicate the framebuffer is being created.  These stem from a call to:
static int drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe(struct drm_fb_helper
*fb_helper, int preferred_bpp)

which is called from:
bool drm_fb_helper_initial_config(struct drm_fb_helper *fb_helper, int
bpp_sel)

which is called from:
static struct hisi_drm_fbdev *hisi_drm_fbdev_create(struct drm_device *dev,
        unsigned int preferred_bpp, unsigned int num_crtc,
        unsigned int max_conn_count)

Another thing I found odd is mipi_init seems to be called twice:  Why?

[    3.624268] [drm]

[   43.134350] [drm] mipi_init , exit success!

mipi_init is called from:
static int hisi_dsi_init(struct hisi_dsi *dsi)

which is called from:
static int hisi_dsi_enable(struct hisi_dsi *dsi)

which is called from:
static void hisi_drm_encoder_dpms(struct drm_encoder *encoder, int mode)
when mode = DRM_MODE_DPMS_ON

There is a corresponding
static int hisi_dsi_disable(struct hisi_dsi *dsi)
called when mode is one of DRM_MODE_DPMS_STANDBY,
DRM_MODE_DPMS_SUSPEND, DRM_MODE_DPMS_OFF

It does nothing however:

static int hisi_dsi_disable(struct hisi_dsi *dsi)
{
        DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("enter.\n");
        DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("exit success.\n");
        return 0;
}

[   43.134240] [drm] phystopstateclklane is not ready.
This error is from mipi_init.  The first time through mipi_init it
doesn't occur, it does on the second time though.
Seems to indicate a problem with the clocks for the mipi dsi data lanes.

I really think we need to sort this out.

Anyway,  I'll take a look at the latest debian img to see if the "fail to load " problem has someting about the drm driver changes during recent period.

Thanks very much - the failure happened when the HDMI code was changed to the DRM driver. If this can be fixed we can again bring up the GUI and test Mali GPU acceleration. 

Kind regards
George
