DS90UB949A-Q1EVM: Test Pattern generation not working

Madan Avhad
Prodigy 60 points
Part Number: DS90UB949A-Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ALP

Hi Team,

We have DS90Ux949 EVM and DS90Ux948 deserializer over the display panel.

Link formation between deserializer and video source work well.

Able to detect the EVM in ALP tools, and able to read the register of both devices.

For video input, host source over the HDMI, frequency and other parameters are verified. But nothing is displayed over the display.

Prior to debugging actual video output, we are debugging the test pattern generator, but not seeing anything displayed. 

We tried multiple use cases, fix color bar, color pattern, video sourcing. not gone well. 

Also, tried this combination with and without video source. 

Note: We are using default setting provided in the user guide.

Please find the attachment of linking the devices.

Kindly let me know how we can work it

    Hi Madan,

    Would you be able to confirm that you are sending Pattern Generation from the 949A to the 948 in your setup?

    Also:

    1. What does your Pattern Generator tab look like during attempted operation?

    2. What are the timing specifications of your display?

    Best,

    Miguel

    Hi Miguel,

    Please find the below details

    Would you be able to confirm that you are sending Pattern Generation from the 949A to the 948 in your setup?

    - Yes, we try send pattern generation from 949A, After click on the ÁPPLY' not able see any update.

    1. What does your Pattern Generator tab look like during attempted operation?

    - Please find the attached screenshot.

    2. What are the timing specifications of your display?

    - Display support upto 1920x1080 @60Hz 

    We are trying default 720p @60Hz.

    Also try pattern generation from the serializer and de-serializer 

    Also, I'm sharing register of 949A and 948, and pattern generator registers.

    Hi Madan,

    I will observe the register states and determine if there is any misconfiguration for your Pattern Generation setup.

    In the meantime, could you please check the panel "Pattern Generator Control V2" under Pattern Generator Tab? Specifically, toggle Enable Generator and Color Bars checkboxes, then apply (with all previous configurations with 720p also populated). 

    Best,

    Miguel

    Hi Miguel,

    One observation noted, when toggle the enable generator checkbox, the apply option gets disable. Keeps time control internal.

    Can you share detail steps to be followed and Pattern Generator Control V2. 

    We are using the recent 1.57.0010 ALP

    Thanks,

    Madan

    Could you provide the screenshot of this behavior?

    For Pattern Generator, it will only consider the internal timing of the device since the pattern is locally generated on the SER and sent to the Deserializer. However, if you are enabling the generator and color bars and are not able to apply these settings, you may not see the output > to the DES > to the Display.

    Are you isolating the SER from input sources when running this test?

    Hi Miguel,

    Please find attached screenshot

    Yes I have tried with isolation and without isolation SER input source.

    Hi Madan,

    Thank you for providing this info. Your ALP layout appears different than before, including HDCP Authentication tab (indicative of our UH devices), are you able to recreate this screen below for the 949 pattern generator configuration?

    You can select Timing Source - External under Video Control Panel

    Hi Miguel,

    I have tried the mention steps and create the same setup.

    work around the timing source and pixel clock. For internal timing source option does not observe anything, but when change to external some observation notice, but it is not significant to capture in camera etc. only observe when room light is off and just notice very minor change. By looking front side won't see any pattern.

    White color bar pattern is set, and pixel clock set to 28.6MHz.

    Please let me know how we can work around it.

    Regards,

    Madan

    Hi Madan,

    It could be the custom color on the white pattern used in the configuration is just outputting the color black (000000) on full screen, try selecting Color Bars which is near the Enable Generator checkbox, and applying again.

    Hi Madan,

    I have noticed a very similar issue with the thread mentioned here: (+) DS90UB949-Q1EVM: DS90UB949-Q1EVM: HDMI input signal not recognized - Interface forum - Interface - TI E2E support forums. Can you confirm if this is the same setup and end-to-end issue?

    If so, I would like to close this thread and handle all correspondence there.

    Best,

    Miguel

    Hi Miguel,

    We have closed other threads, will continue only this.

    I have update, we are able generate color pattern, with help of following:

    1. Configure deserializer register: (DS90Ux948 Q1)

     Reg         Val

    0x1E         0x30

    0x20          0x03

    2. Run the following script 

    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x03,0xDA)
    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x07,0x58)
    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x08,0x58)
    board.WriteI2C(0x58,0x0E,0x52)
    board.WriteI2C(0x58,0x20,0x03)
    board.WriteI2C(0x58,0x17,0x9E)
    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x07,0x5A)
    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x08,0x5A)
    board.WriteI2C(0x5A,0x00,0xFF)
    board.WriteI2C(0x5A,0x01,0xFF)
    print("OK")
    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x07,0x5A)
    board.WriteI2C(0x18,0x08,0x5A)
    board.WriteI2C(0x5A,0x00,0xFF)
    board.WriteI2C(0x5A,0x01,0xFF)

    5A is the display device I2C address:

    Resolution: 1920x1080 @60Hz

    It makes sure that, display is up.

    Next step, I want to configure for the HDMI video. Can you please help me what configuration needs to be done.

    Regards,

    Hi Madan,

    The first step in getting an end-to-end connection is disabling the PATGEN enable output, and routing the HDMI to 949-EVM > EVM to 948 > 948 to Display output. Another important aspect is to monitor lock between the devices after this arrangement. 

    May I confirm that the setup you currently have matches this?
