Measy (R-BOX) U4C rk3188 issues with hdmi

[tizenketto]

I have a Measy (R-BOX) U4C rk3188. Before I recycled it I thought I would try to get a linux kernel running on it and found this these posts. I experimented with Armbian_21.02.0-trunk_Rk3188_focal_current_5.10.6_xfce_desktop.img from 13JAN. (Thanks Balbes!)

It boots with rk3188-rbox-cs968.dtb and most everything works but the video ouput is color shifted. So HDMI video output is fine but the colors wrong and HDMI audio is not working.  

I took apart the Android firmware that was on the thing but with a V3 kernel without uboot it is kind of difficult to see into the kernel. I assume the device tree is somehow off for this system or, more likely the uInitrd is loading an incorrect fb module.

Other errors are:

However the Broadcom WIFI is working and Bluetooth appears to be working as well although I did not try to pair any device.

I have a tarball of all the logs if that would help but since there is no error other than a beautiful green/cyan. I don't know how to proceed to compile a new kernel/modules for this.

 

Any direction getting the correct device tree/kernel/modules built for this?

Moved your post to the Rockchip CPU Box forum.  I do not work with rockchip based boxes myself, but there are a few people who do in this forum that may be able to provide you some guidance.  The RK3188 is an older 32bit cpu.  A lot of the effort recently around here is support for more recent 64 bit based cpus.

Well I am getting closer. I just need to make the dts bind vop correctly or recompile the fb.ko when I figure it out. There doesnt seem to be a way to pass parameters at boot. I have decompiled an android zImage so I will spend some time with that...
