Problems with Buster Release Image and LCD 800x480

[-peter-]

Hi folks,

I have installed a current release image on my OLINUXINO MICRO (Rev G): A20-OLinuXino-buster-base-20201105-143953.img

I have also a OLIMEX Display attached to it, which works just fine using an older image with 3.4.103 Kernel.

Because the newer image relies on the EEPROM configuration, I have configured the EEPROM like this:

Code Select Expand

U-Boot SPL 2020.04+olimex-2-20201004.114205 (Jan 30 2020 - 11:10:18 +0000)
DRAM: 1024 MiB
CPU: 912000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2
Loading configuration from EEPROM: OK
Verifying data: OK
Trying to boot from MMC1


U-Boot 2020.04+olimex-2-20201004.114205 (Jan 30 2020 - 11:10:18 +0000) Allwinner Technology

CPU:   Allwinner A20 (SUN7I)
ID:    A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-n4GB Rev.G
SN:    00001234
MAC:   A0:F3:C1:71:7D:89
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  1 GiB
MMC:   mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c12000: 1
Loading Environment from EXT4... OK
...
then I have configured the output to "LCD-OlinuXino-7" hit ok and reboot:

Then video output came on the LCD, everything looked fine untill the Xorg comes up:



I'm confused, because the same hardware hasn't any problems with the older image.
Is there any possibility to tune this right?
I tried xvidtune, but I can't change anything without getting an popup telling me the hardware doesn't support the setting.

Any ideas what i can do?

with best Regards,
Peter

Interesting. I found one board like that (A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-n4GB) here and 7 inch display and tested with same software configurations and no such issue exists.

Maybe try slightly different configurations in both the olinuxino config setting in u-boot and the olinuxino-display script (for example, check if it works better if you set it to 7 inch TS display)?

Maybe the cable or its connectors got wonky?

Try to re-write the image and re-configure it, in some corner case scenarios it might get corrupted in a funny way.
