Got an orangepi 3 LTS running gentoo. Having video problems. Guessing a framebuffer issue but can't isolate exactly what it is.

When I boot the board, I have video for the first part of it coming up, then the screen goes back. On shutdown, I get video back until the reboot finishes. I dont see any error messages on the serial (UART TTL) interface. Everything else seems to be fine. Networking comes up no problem, etc...


Code:
root@orangepi3-lts ~ # dmesg|grep -i fb

Nothing jumping out at me before the bootloader hands over to the linux image either.

Anyone got an idea?

JumboAg,

Can you clarify for me that you are not getting any boot messages after "Starting kernel ..." on serial console? or just no messages for your display device?

Serial console continues. In fact, once it's done coming up. I can log in from its login prompt if I wish.

So this could be several different reasons for not getting any thing on display device. One is not giving direction for kernel to send output to the display device or no driver for the display device.

Lets start out assume there is display driver in kernel for the display device. So please share you kernel command line parameters so we can be sure that kernel know it need to send messages to the display device.

Do you get login prompt on the display device?

I use "display device" because I don't know how your setup connect your "monitor" to your orangepi 3. I mean for example using HDMI port (and which port? if there are more than one HDMI port on orangepi 3)

I do not get a login prompt on my display device (monitor plugged into the orangepi via HDMI.) Video drops and the screen goes black partway through the boot sequence.

Kernel command line parameters might be an interesting one. Since it's a u-boot bootloader, I'm not explicitly doing anything beyond defining the dtb, initrd, kernel image and root device. I have not modified the boot.scr I borrowed from orangepi's native OS image.


Code:

[    0.000000] Unknown kernel command line parameters "splash=verbose ubootpart=aaa0796c-01 cgroup_enable=memory", will be passed to user space.


Code:
orangepi3-lts /boot # cat armbianEnv.txt

bootlogo=false
console=both
disp_mode=1920x1080p60

I have feeling that your kernel command line parameters may have missing something.

can you share the output of
Code:
dmesg|grep -i "kernel command line"

I think I beat you to your next line of thinking Ping.... I went ahead and fed the kernel a video argument.... that resolved it. Comes up 1920x1080@60 now.

Congratulation :)

Maybe you can post your changes, so next person can benefit from your discovery.

the boot script supports a ${extraargs} flag. I just added "extraargs=video=1920x1080@60" to the armbianEnv.txt file.
