DS90UB949-Q1: how to write EDID data to external EEPROM of DS90UB949?

Part Number: DS90UB949-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ALP

Tool/software:

I am debugging a board with DS90UB949 with ALP.

(1) With the following script, the EDID data can be written and read back correctly.

that is to say, read_edid is the same with exEDID what I write.

board.EDID_Write(0x0, exEDID, 256)

# Readback EDID read_edid = board.EDID_Read(0x0, 256)

print "EDID readback:"

print read_edid

(2) but after I power down and power up DS90UB949 board again.I read back the EDID data with the following script.

The EDID data is totaly different from what I write in step(1)

# Readback EDID read_edid = board.EDID_Read(0x0, 256)

print "EDID readback:"

print read_edid

My questions are

(1) with board.EDID_Write(0x0, exEDID, 256), where the EDID data is written? internal SRAM of DS90UB949?

(2) how to write EDID data to external EEPROM of DS90UB949?

Thanks

    Hi, 

    Your understanding is correct, using the EDID write will only go into the SRAM which will be wiped on next power cycle.

    External EEPROM is an external device from the 949, and will need flashed by other means according to the instructions/requirements of that particular IC.

    How to use EDID data in SRAM to update HDMI display property of PC side?

    Hi Jinteng, 

    The EDID will be advertised automatically to the PC when HDMI is plugged into the HDMI sink via HDMI/EDID handshake. SRAM EDID will need to be overwritten prior to plugging in the HDMI cable.

    For further assistance, I attached a EDID usage guide for FPD-Link devices for reference.

    hello Logan, 

    From the document you provide, when MODE_SEL0 strap low=0, to look for remote EDID, if none found, use internal EDID SRAM.

    I think the remote EDID is deserelizer side EDID, I only test with one DS90UB949 board and no deserializer board/chip, so I think remote EDID would not be found. the PC side/HDMI source will use internal EDID SRAM.

    From the PC side/HDMI source, I can get the EDID(1) and display property.

    With ALP script, I read back the EDID(2) from internal SRAM of DS90UB949.

    The EDID(2) is the same as internal pre-programmed EDID from DS90UB949, but totally different from EDID(1).

    My DS90UB949 board has an external local EEPROM.

    the test result shows PC Side/HDMI source uses DS90UB949 external local EEPROM data as EDID data.

    the test result is different from your document.

    I would like to know, when MODE_SEL0 strap low=0, what the PC side/HDMI source will  get EDID data from? DS90UB949 internal EDID SRAM or on-board external local EEPROM?
