[meta-fsl-arm] Build for SabreSD?

[meta-fsl-arm] Build for SabreSD?

[Gary Thomas]

I'm trying to build for SabreSD using the current master:
   MACHINE           = "imx6qsabresd"
   meta              = "master:9e4adec98db325112ca7a8b9dd95722d4d0ab642"
   meta-fsl-arm      = "master:bfe01a0ebde407086f4a7710ea165c6beff310d7"
   meta-fsl-arm-extra = "master:49843fbd4cdfcdd37ad191dbf4bdc63e06cf1e0e"

Out of the box, I get this error/warning:
ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide virtual/kernel (/local/poky-master/meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx-rt_3.10.31.bb 
/local/poky-master/meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-fslc_3.19.bb).
  This usually means one provides something the other doesn't and should.

Which kernel should this board use?  Is it compatible with
the latest (3.10.53 based) graphics?

n.b. I'm chasing some i.MX6 HDMI video issues and trying to use
this board as a reference.

I will check.

The 3.10.53 kernel works fine with SabreSD.

Oh, those... Nitrogen has got 3.10.53 last days as well.

Which one and how do I select it?

The main issue I want to work on is I have some i.MX6 boards that
do HDMI well (video at least), e.g. the SabreLite from Boundary Devices,
but other boards that don't (boards from a company I work with - the
video is overscanned and doesn't fit the monitor).  I'd like to
see how the SabreSD does on this so maybe we can figure out where
the differences are.

3.10.53 is available in master[1] and 3.14 is under cook in master-next.

1. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-fsl-arm/tree/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx_3.10.53.bb

There was many changes in this regard for 3.10.53, Boundary has also
some patches to improve HDMI so I would compare the kernel sources.

Thanks, I got that going.  However, I don't have anything on HDMI in Linux
(U-Boot does see it and puts up the FreeScale logo).

What do I need to get Linux to use the HDMI video?  Some command line option?

Bootaux Command (u-boot-fslc)

[Nathan Barrett]

Hello Everyone,

Is there any plan to add bootaux (for the I.MX6SX M4 core) to the community bsp for u-boot-fslc?

As far as I remember, there are no video arguments passed to the
kernel, so you can check this out.

What do you mean?

I'm not getting any HDMI video from Linux, but I am from U-Boot, so
there needs to be something else...

Exactly. In order to have a working video interface in Linux, you need
to pass the proper bootargs to the kernel, like this:

setenv bootargs console=... root=... video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x800M@60
