Hi Folks,
I am trying to display a splash image from u-boot on the Phytec's phyBOARD Sargas STM32MP157 evaluation board. https://www.phytec.de/en/produkte/single-board-computer/phyboard-sargas-stm3... https://www.phytec.de/en/cdocuments/?doc=d4PmEQ
I feel like I tried everything possible including throwing runes and bones :-) but to no avail. So maybe someone here could help. Here are more details and description of what I was trying.
I am using the same u-boot (version and set of patches) as provided by Yocto BSP (I am building with Buildroot but it is probably not relevant) STM32MP> version U-Boot 2020.01-stm32mp-r2.1 (Jun 24 2021 - 13:30:02 +0200) arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 10.2-2020.11 (arm-10.16)) 10.2.1 20201103 GNU ld (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 10.2-2020.11 (arm-10.16)) 2.35.1.20201028
Display is DPI (i.e parallel RGB interface): https://www.phytec.eu/fileadmin/user_upload/images/content/1.Products/SBCs/p...
I managed to display a splash screen from Kernel and in general, the display works fine from user space. So I am sure that everything is connected properly and the hardware works. Also, u-boot is using the same DTS files as Kernel. So I assume that everything is properly configured there. Following is the relevant part of the output from modetest:
# modetest trying to open device 'stm'...done Encoders: id crtc type possible crtcs possible clones 31 35 DPI 0x00000001 0x00000000
Connectors: id encoder status name size (mm) modes encoders 32 31 connected DPI-1 152x91 1 31 modes: index name refresh (Hz) hdisp hss hse htot vdisp vss vse vtot #0 800x480 59.99 800 840 968 1056 480 490 492 525 33260 flags: nhsync, nvsync; type: preferred, driver
In the u-boot menuconfig I enabled all the relevant options I could find. At least the bmp command is available. Here is the Graphics part of the .config (I can post .config if necessary):
# Graphics support CONFIG_DM_VIDEO=y CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GPIO=y CONFIG_VIDEO_BPP8=y CONFIG_VIDEO_BPP16=y CONFIG_VIDEO_BPP32=y # CONFIG_VIDEO_ANSI is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_MIPI_DSI=y CONFIG_CONSOLE_NORMAL=y # CONFIG_CONSOLE_ROTATION is not set # CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRUETYPE is not set CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK=y # CONFIG_NO_FB_CLEAR is not set
In addition, the following defines were added to include/configs/stm32mp1.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_DM_VIDEO #define CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 #define CONFIG_BMP_16BPP #define CONFIG_BMP_24BPP #define CONFIG_BMP_32BPP *** Below was add by me *** #define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN #define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN #define CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO #define CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO #endif
For the sake of completion, here is the output of the dm tree command:

Despite all these attempts, there is no output from u-boot on the screen. Also, attempting to load splash image manually (using ext4load) and display them with bmp display does not lead to anything shown on display but also does not show any error messages.
Now I am out of ideas of what else could be done or how to find the reason for the problem. So I would really appreciate any suggestions from fellow u-booters :-)
Thank you, Andrey.
