On SECO Android 11 BSP it is possible to create and test custom devicetree“devicetree.dtb dtb” and overlay“overlay.dtbo file dtbo” files for implementing and validating custom DISPLAY configuration and or peripherals.

You can customize and test new dtb/dtbo file without using external resources, you just need the SECO board, and a PC (Windows or Linux) for connecting to it with ADB protocol (via USB cable or over IP).

...

  • and add in it the following definitions:

    Code Block
    ### Enable dtb customization
# enablecustomization=true

### Definitions for dtb custom file
customdtb=devicetree.dtb

### Definitions for device tree overlay custom file
customdtbo=overlay.dtbo

  • N.B. If you are defining a new video output you need also to unconfigure any defined video:

    Code Block
    ### Force video selection. 
# Posible values are: NONE, LVD0, ... LVD6, HDM0, HIN0, EDP0, HLV0, ELV0, LEH0, EHD0
videosel=NONE

  • The changes will be applied starting from the next reboot.

  • At startup pay attention to the following messages for verifiying the new setup:

    Code Block

  • NP.BS. If you prefer you can edit dts files on you Descktop your Desktop PC, and copy them using adb push command:

    Code Block
    adb push seco-imx8qm-c43.dts /data/seco/seco/seco-imx8qm-c43.dts
adb push test.dtb /data/seco/overlays/seco-imx8qm-c43-lvds-GENERIC-single-channel-overlay.dts

  • NP.NP.BS. It is also possible to customize only dtb or only dtbo file. If only one of this files has been found the default configuration will be used instead of the missing one.
