Re: Whats missing in my new FB DRM driver... "No connectors reported connected with modes"?

Hi Xiang,

Its returning 0 modes... :(

You can test it with the modetest. i.e. $ modetest -M DRM_DRIVER_NAME -c

    Hi guys,

    I'm writing a DRM driver for a framebuffer embedded hardware that
    uses an i2c encoder (adv7511), following the basic steps suggested
    by Laurent in "anatomy of an embedded KMS driver":
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja8fM7rTae4

    After initiliazing all kms, crtc, encoder, i2c, connector functions
    and structures i'm calling drm_fbdev_cma_init to create a fbdev.

    When booting i'm getting an error message saying "No connectors
    reported connected with modes", but the driver init is ok and i can
    find the /dev/dri/* and /dev/fb0 devices.

    Any clue what i might be missing during the driver load?


​I think you should check on the 'get_modes'​ call back of adv7511
driver. (Or, if possible show us the code.)

Yes,  I think there might be something wrong with the HPD interrupt or

I do meet the similar issue before when I using the upstream adv7511

I found that the HPD and EDID interrupt is not reliable.

i made some progress in identifying the issue...
When my driver calls drm_fb_helper_initial_config it seems DRM blocks waiting for register_framebuffer to return.
The sequence is drm_fb_helper_initial_config->drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe->register_framebuffer.

Its strange because register_framebuffer function is just a mutex around do_register_framebuffer.

Any clue?!

I'm also getting a message from DRM saying can't find any crtc or
sizes...i'm really missing something here.
:(

drm-arcpgu e0017000.pgu: No connectors reported connected with modes

Any help?

Hi Xinliang,

My get_modes seems to be implemented as the rcar driver...
Probably still missing some init step?

Regards,
C.Palminha


static int arcpgu_drm_connector_get_modes(struct drm_connector

*connector)

quoted

{
struct drm_encoder_slave *slave;
const struct drm_encoder_slave_funcs *sfuncs;
struct arcpgu_drm_connector * con >>>>>>> container_of(connector, struct arcpgu_drm_connector, connector);

slave = con->encoder_slave;
if(slave = NULL) {
dev_err(connector->dev->dev,
"connector_get_modes: cannot find slave encoder for connector\n");
return 0;
}

sfuncs = slave->slave_funcs;
if(sfuncs->get_modes = NULL){
return 0;
}

return sfuncs->

get_modes(&slave->base,connector);

quoted

}

so, this will call adv7511 driver's

get_modes call back.
I wonder if the system boot up, it can get modes or not.
You can test it with the modetest. i.e. $ modetest -M DRM_DRIVER_NAME -c

    Hi guys,

    I'm writing a DRM driver for a framebuffer embedded hardware that
    uses an i2c encoder (adv7511), following the basic steps suggested
    by Laurent in "anatomy of an embedded KMS driver":
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja8fM7rTae4

    After initiliazing all kms, crtc, encoder, i2c, connector functions
    and structures i'm calling drm_fbdev_cma_init to create a fbdev.

    When booting i'm getting an error message saying "No connectors
    reported connected with modes", but the driver init is ok and i can
    find the /dev/dri/* and /dev/fb0 devices.

    Any clue what i might be missing during the driver load?


I think you should check on the 'get_modes' call back of adv7511
driver. (Or, if possible show us the code.)

Best,
-xinliang


    Thanks...

    Regards,
    C.Palminha

When my driver calls drm_fb_helper_initial_config it seems DRM blocks waiting for register_framebuffer to return.
The sequence is drm_fb_helper_initial_config->drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe->register_framebuffer.

Its strange because register_framebuffer function is just a mutex around do_register_framebuffer.

Any clue?!

Ah, the curse of console_lock. drm_fb_helper_initial_config also does
the initial modeset if you have fbcon enabled. But because of locking
stupidity we must do _all_ that code (which means pretty much your
entire driver) under the console_lock, which means no log output until
console_unlock. Not even on serial port.

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/57951/ is the usual hack to
use to get rid of console_lock while booting, so that you can see
where your driver crashes. I guess we should explain this in the
kerneldoc ...

@vineet, alexey: i think that console_lock is architecture dependent right? Do you know any issue with console_lock for ARC?

Once console_lock is acquired, you will not see any further prints
whilst it is held. Likely your driver is hanging/crashing whilst
holding console_lock, which you don't see. See the patch just sent to
the list to document how to debug issues which happen under
console_lock.

Cheers,
Daniel

Didn't spot this at the time, but that should probably quash the
WARN_ON_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED warnings as well ...

I'm not really sure "console_lock" has something to do with ARC architecture.
At least "git grep bconsole_lock" doesn't find anything in "arch/arc".

So I'd assume this is a generic thing.

it is a generic thing..  all arch's are afflicted by console_lock..
