[FAQ] PROCESSOR-SDK-DRA8X-TDA4X: How to enable vout1/DPI1 output in vision apps?

Vision apps currently uses vout0/DPI0 output port for HDMI output. This article explains how vision apps can be changed to get the output over vout1.
Vout1/DPI1 output supports 16 data lines and 4 control signals, so it can be used to output BT656, BT1120, BT601 output formats.

Enabling vout1 in vision apps requires few changes in the dss implementation

• For HDMI output, vision apps connects VP2 output to vout0. The same VP2 output can also be connected to vout1. This requires small change in file psdk_rtos_auto_j7_07_00_00_11\vision_apps\utils\dss\src\app_dss_defaults.c. In this file, API appDssDefaultInit connects VP2 output to vout0/DPI0 for HDMI output. Change to as shown below.

obj->nodeVpId = APP_DCTRL_NODE_VP2;
obj->nodeDpiId = APP_DCTRL_NODE_DPI_DPI1;

• vout1 output supports 16 data lines and 4 control signals. These pins need to be enabled in the pinmux register. vout1 output pins can be selected by selecting function4 for padconfig_86 (0x0011C158h) to padconfig_106 (0x0011C1A8h). In vision apps, the pinmux for vout0 is configured in an array, gVout0PinCfg, in the file psdk_rtos_auto_j7_07_00_00_11\vision_apps\utils\misc\src\app_pinmux.c. This can be replaced with below pinmux array for vout1.

static pinmuxPerCfg_t gVout1PinCfg[] =
{
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA0 */
{

((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))

{

},

},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA10 */
{

((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA11 */
{

},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA12 */
{

((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA13 */
{
PIN_RGMII6_RX_CTL, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA14 */
{
PIN_RGMII6_TD3, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_DATA15 */
{
PIN_RGMII6_TD2, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_VSYNC */
{
PIN_RGMII6_TD1, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_HSYNC */
{
PIN_RGMII6_TD0, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT1_PCLK */
{
PIN_RGMII6_TXC, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},
/* MyVOUT1 -> VOUT0_DE */
{
PIN_RGMII6_RXC, PIN_MODE(4) | \
((PIN_PULL_DISABLE) & (~PIN_PULL_DIRECTION & ~PIN_INPUT_ENABLE))
},

{PINMUX_END}
};

• Then newly created array gVout1PinCfg for pinmux configuration can be added to gDispPinCfg as shown below, in the same file

static pinmuxModuleCfg_t gDispPinCfg[] =
{
{0, TRUE, gVout1PinCfg},
{1, TRUE, gI2c1PinCfg},
{PINMUX_END}
};
