HDMI works different on last lot of RK3288

adamoa

I have several RK3288 units produced in 2015 that work perfectly with KODI. The last batch of cards produced in August 2018 used in the same equipment, give error "[drm: dw_hdmi_rockchip_set_property] * ERROR * failed to set rockchip hdmi connector property" in dmesg.
What has changed compared to previous lots? How can I solve the problem?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

As you can see in the hdmi driver code, the driver receives unsupported properties and should be safely ignored.

I made some deeper analysis about the issue:
This is the crashlog file produced by kodi which better document the error:

Copy the code

Does the same firmware work on the old board, but not on the new one?

It has sth to do with the opengles. I'm not familiar with kodi.
Is "Checking resolution 16" suggesting that kodi is using 16 bit depth display mode?
How about changing it to 24 or 32?

adamoa

Thank you for your answer, I'll try changing the resolution depth to 24 or 32, if kodi permit it.

In the mean time, I discovered what is the difference between the old and new board: the GPU version.

Old board GPU:   Mali-T76x 4 cores r0p0 0x0750
New board GPU: Mali-T76x 4 cores r1p0 0x0750

The issue is up to Rockchip. Can you suggest any solution for that?

penguin

Lack of information, I cannot make any suggestion.

Does glmark2-es2-drm work on your board?How can we check this problem? Maybe you upload
the firmware for us to check?
