Uh, sorry for confusion, I was talking about video driver ("Nope, didn't make it. ").

I was playing around re-adding a boot splash but get stuck a bit.
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/sunxi-boot-splash.patch#L32-L37 When changing to this:

+#if defined CONFIG_VIDEO || CONFIG_SUNXI_DE2
+#define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
+#define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
+#define CONFIG_CMD_BMP
+#define CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
+#define CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
+#define CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
+#endif

... an error "unknown command bmp" is changed to "you need a 32bit image" and when added that kind no error is shown but also no picture. The question - how to make use of current 8bit logo?

Hello! I try build u-boot for H3 with bootlogo. My board orangepi_lite. I add CONFIG_CMD_BMP in default config of my board.

After load u-boot, I can see console on hdmi display. I try display bmp:

But I see only console... Please, tell me where I was wrong. 

P.S. sorry, if I write in wrong theme

@zador,

 

I just added support for TV out, PAL and NTSC standard. Do you think that it is interesting enough to include in Armbian? Maybe for OPi0?

 

https://github.com/jernejsk/u-boot/tree/h3_hdmi_tv_v1

 

You have to include "CONFIG_VIDEO_COMPOSITE=y" in defconfig. PAL is selected by default and can be overriden by environment variable.

 

Which file needed to set NTSC/PAL environment variable for u-boot compilation?

Sorry, I'm new on this

The reason why that patch is still not merged in U-Boot is that it's hardcoded to PAL.

 

BTW, that U-Boot branch doesn't exist anymore. Use that one instead: https://github.com/jernejsk/u-boot/tree/tv_out_v2

 

@jernej do you know whether i need to patch u-boot also for getting tvout on bpi-m2plus board?

I follow this guideline below, but still no display on tvout

Yes, there is no official support for H3 TV out in mainline Linux on any board. And patch provided in that topic probably needs to be updated, depending on the sources you use.

@jernej you're saying it needs CONFIG_VIDEO_COMPOSITE=y in defconfig?

I add this in Sinovoip_BPI_M2_Plus_defconfig but I don't see it include CONFIG_VIDEO_COMPOSITE=y  in .config while u-boot compile. Also that link you provide no longer working. Any more details?

I gave you new link few posts back. This work has been done about 2 years ago, so I forgot many details. It seems CONFIG_VIDEO_DE2=y is enough to enable driver, TV plug-in is auto-detected at boot only and only PAL is supported. It seems that that branch also doesn't have simplefb support.

 

I don't know when I will get back to this, since I'm busy with Linux kernel stuff, mostly Cedrus and DE2 driver.

I modify all u-boot source file mark with "sunxi: video: Add H3/H5 TV out driver"

Also I make sure 'CONFIG_VIDEO_DE2=y' is there in .config

u-boot compilation is successful but still no TVE out

looking at kern.log, kernel is doing something related to TVE, but I don't understand 

Can you give some highlight what happenings?

Attached is kern.log and debug
