1. Article purpose[edit | edit source]

This article aims to specify what is displayed on an HDMI^®^[1] monitor (or TV) connected, through an HDMI cable, to a STMicroelectronics board, in different use cases explained below.

This article also explains how to get the video modes (resolutions and refresh frequencies) of the HDMI monitor (or TV) that are supported by the device, how to test them, and finally how to select one.

2. Prerequisites[edit | edit source]

Obviously, it is mandatory that your STMicroelectronics board has an HDMI connector, which is the case for:

the STM32MP157x-DKx Discovery kit (CN9 HDMI connector)

HDMI cable connected on Discovery kit
STM32MP157C-DK2 shown here (without the MB1407 daughterboard DSI display)

An HDMI cable and an HDMI monitor (or TV) are also needed.

3. Use cases[edit | edit source]

The table below shows the different use cases that involve both the DSI display and the HDMI monitor.

Original situation	Action	Final situation
Original situation	Action	DSI display	HDMI monitor
HDMI unplugged - Board not started - DSI display connected - HDMI monitor not connected	Start the board	then briefly and finally
HDMI cold-plug - Board not started - DSI display connected - HDMI monitor connected	Start the board		then
HDMI hot-plug - Board started - DSI display connected - HDMI monitor not connected	Plug the HDMI monitor		The demo launcher window is not displayed fullscreen
	Tap or click on the top-right corner cross to close the demo launcher window Tap or click on the left-bottom "nine blue square" icon to start again the demo launcher window		The demo launcher window is displayed fullscreen
HDMI hot-unplug - Board started - DSI display connected - HDMI monitor connected	Unplug the HDMI monitor	The demo launcher window is not downscaled
	Restart Weston^[2]

The following statements explain the use cases summarized above:

The U-Boot graphical console ("ST life.augmented" picture) is never displayed on the HDMI monitor. This console is displayed on the DSI display (if any on the board).

If the board has both a DSI display and an HDMI monitor, the Wayland background layer is only displayed on one of these displays (see the "rules" below).

HDMI unplugged: if no HDMI monitor is connected to the board before the board starts, and if a DSI display is connected to the board, the Wayland background layer is displayed on the DSI display.

HDMI cold-plug: if an HDMI monitor is connected to the board before the board starts, the Wayland background layer is displayed on this HDMI monitor.

HDMI hot-plug: if an HDMI monitor is connected to the board after the board starts, this plug is automatically detected by Wayland / Weston. The demo launcher window is not automatically upscaled: close and open it again to have it fullscreeen on the HDMI monitor.

HDMI hot-unplug: if an HDMI monitor is disconnected from the board while the Wayland background layer is displayed on the HDMI monitor, this unplug is automatically detected by Wayland / Weston. The demo launcher window is not automatically downscaled: restart Weston^[2] to have it fullscreen on the DSI display.

4. Video modes[edit | edit source]

Generally, the HDMI monitor (or TV) provides several video modes (resolutions and refresh frequencies), that might not be all supported by the platform. In case of HDMI cold-plug or HDMI hot-plug, the first video mode provided by the HDMI monitor that is supported by the platform, is selected. To change this video mode selected per default, all the video modes both provided by the HDMI monitor and supported by the platform shall be retrieved, optionally tested, and finally set in the weston.ini configuration file^[3].

Let us assume that the DSI display and the HDMI monitor are connected to the board, and that the Wayland background is displayed on the HDMI monitor.

Retrieve the video modes provided by the HDMI monitor and supported by the platform thanks to the modetest command (see below how to get all the video modes supported by the HDMI monitor, whether they are supported or not by the platform)

modetest -M stm

Per default, the first video mode provided by the HDMI monitor that is supported by the platform, is selected: here, it is the 1280x720 60 resolution
- Check it with the information provided by the modetest command: make the link between the HDMI connector 29, the encoder id 28, the CRTC id 33, and finally the video mode 1280x720 60

Stop Weston^[2], use the modetest command^[4] to test the different modes, and restart Weston^[2]

Syntax:

modetest -M stm -s <HDMI connector>:<selected resolution> -v

Example with the 8 modes identified above:

systemctl stop weston-graphical-session
modetest -M stm -s 29:1920x1080-30 -v
modetest -M stm -s 29:1920x1080-25 -v
modetest -M stm -s 29:1920x1080-24 -v
modetest -M stm -s 29:1280x720-60 -v  # -60 to specify the Hz as there are two 1280x720 modes
modetest -M stm -s 29:1280x720-50 -v  # -50 to specify the Hz as there are two 1280x720 modes
modetest -M stm -s 29:800x600 -v
modetest -M stm -s 29:720x480 -v
modetest -M stm -s 29:720x576 -v
systemctl start weston-graphical-session

Set the selected video mode in the /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini configuration file, and restart Weston^[2]

Syntax:

[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
mode=<selected resolution>

Example (720x480 resolution selected):

mode=720x480

systemctl restart weston-graphical-session

Check that the new video mode has been taken into account with the information provided by the modetest command: make the link between the HDMI connector 29, the encoder id 28, the CRTC id 33, and finally the new video mode 720x480
