Find a table listing +the power sequence timing parameters, which are usually named T[N] and also +referenced in Intel's respective registers listing. You need the values for +`PP_ON_DELAYS`, `PP_OFF_DELAYS` and `PP_DIVISOR` for your `devicetree.cb`: + +```eval_rst ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +| Intel docs | devicetree.cb | eDP | ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +| Power up delay | `gpu_panel_power_up_delay` | T3 | ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +| Power on to backlight on | `gpu_panel_power_backlight_on_delay` | T7 | ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +| Power Down delay | `gpu_panel_power_down_delay` | T10 | ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +| Backlight off to power down | `gpu_panel_power_backlight_off_delay` | T9 | ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +| Power Cycle Delay | `gpu_panel_power_cycle_delay` | T12 | ++-----------------------------+---------------------------------------+-----+ +``` + +Intel GPU Tools and VBT +----------------------- + +The Intel GPU tools are in a package called either `intel-gpu-tools` or +`igt-gpu-tools` in most distributions of Linux-based operating systems. +In the coreboot `util/` directory, you can find `intelvbttool`. + +From a running system, you can dump the register values directly: +```sh +$ intel_reg dump --all | grep PCH_PP + PCH_PP_STATUS (0x000c7200): 0x80000008 + PCH_PP_CONTROL (0x000c7204): 0x00000007 + PCH_PP_ON_DELAYS (0x000c7208): 0x07d00001 + PCH_PP_OFF_DELAYS (0x000c720c): 0x01f40001 + PCH_PP_DIVISOR (0x000c7210): 0x0004af06 +``` + +You can obtain the timing values from a VBT (Video BIOS Table), which you can +dump from a vendor UEFI image: +```sh +$ intel_vbt_decode data.vbt | grep T3 + Power Sequence: T3 2000 T7 10 T9 2000 T10 500 T12 5000 + T3 optimization: no +``` diff --git a/Documentation/gfx/libgfxinit.md b/Documentation/gfx/libgfxinit.md index c50761a14e..c000f27d60 100644 --- a/Documentation/gfx/libgfxinit.md +++ b/Documentation/gfx/libgfxinit.md @@ -55,6 +55,9 @@ follows: GMA: Per Board Configuration ---------------------------- +In order to set up the display panel, see the +[display panel-specific documentation](/gfx/display-panel.md). + There are a few Kconfig symbols to consider.
