parallel display for rzg2l /rzv2l (5.10 kernel)

Hi 
Can you list supported parallel(not lvds parallel bridge) displays for kernel version 5.10 Also if possible can you provide dts entry for parallel display

  • Hi anzal,

    I recheck RZ/V2L to support your panel and it can register the panel normally.

    I tested in v5.10.201-cip41. If you used old kernel version, please update to cip41 (3.0.6 BSP package).

    Here is the diff that I support. Could you retry in your side?

  • i have enabled the driver in defconfig but doesnt seems to work driver is not being loaded. What to do about it.

  • please run "zcat /proc/config. gz | grep PANEL_SIMPLE" then send the output here.

    By the way, do you make kernel manually or build by yocto?

  • please run "zcat /proc/config. gz | grep PANEL_SIMPLE" then send the output here.

  • i did and i updated it here

    gzip: gz.gz: No such file or directory

  • sorry, config.gz . It does not have a space ....

  • calixto_admin@localhost:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep PANEL_SIMPLE
    # CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE is not set

  • .... it is not set. You should make defconfig to apply your configs changed!

  • here is the defconfig file should i add anything else to this

  • Please send us file ".config" in your linux directory.

  • I saw this:

    CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE=y
    So, is it correct Image that you are deploying your board?
