TDA4VM: Jacinto 7 cann't run display

Part Number: TDA4VM


Hi all,

I am trying to connect a display panel using DP on Jacinto 7, I tried following this guide https://www.ti.com/lit/ml/spruis8/spruis8.pdf?ts=1602595761191&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F
Jacinto works fine and I connect through USB/Serial Debug connector using PuTTY, but the display is not working.

I am using HP display EliteDisplay E232 with 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz resolution. Display page https://support.hp.com/sg-en/document/c04746493 

when it boots I noticed the following two errors:

1) psplash error:

[FAILED] Failed to start Start psplash boot splash screen.
See 'systemctl status psplash-start.service' for details.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Star…progress communication helper.

I tried to check the status of psplash-start

I followed this thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/831431

here is the output of commands mentioned in the threads:

=> run findfdt; run envboot
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc1 is current device
SD/MMC found on device 1
55 bytes read in 1 ms (53.7 KiB/s)
Loaded env from uEnv.txt
Importing environment from mmc1 ...

=> print overlay_files
## Error: "overlay_files" not defined

and I couldn't find the uEnv.txt file in the boot partition of the image nor k3-j721e-dp0.dtbo that are mentioned in the thread.
