How to display on HDMI

Applicable for STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines

1 Article purpose[edit]

This article aims to specify what is displayed on an HDMI®[1] monitor (or TV) connected, through an HDMI cable, to a STMicroelectronics board, in different use cases explained below.

This article also explains how to get the video modes (resolutions and refresh frequencies) of the HDMI monitor (or TV) that are supported by the device, how to test them, and finally how to select one.

2 Prerequisites[edit]

Obviously, it is mandatory that your STMicroelectronics board has an HDMI connector, which is the case for:

HDMI cable connected on Discovery kit
STM32MP157C-DK2 shown here (without the MB1407 daughterboard DSI display)

An HDMI cable and an HDMI monitor (or TV) are also needed.

3 Use cases[edit]

The table below shows the different use cases that involve both the DSI display and the HDMI monitor.

Original situation Action Final situation
DSI display HDMI monitor
HDMI unplugged
- Board not started
- DSI display connected
- HDMI monitor not connected
Start the board DSI U-Boot splash screen.png then briefly DSI user splash screen.png and finally DSI Wayland background.png HDMI black screen.png
HDMI cold-plug
- Board not started
- DSI display connected
- HDMI monitor connected
Start the board DSI U-Boot splash screen.png HDMI user splash screen.png then HDMI Wayland background.png
HDMI hot-plug
- Board started
- DSI display connected
- HDMI monitor not connected
Plug the HDMI monitor DSI black screen.png HDMI Wayland background GTK launcher.png
The demo launcher window is not displayed fullscreen
Tap or click on the top-right corner cross to close the demo launcher window

Tap or click on the left-bottom "nine blue square" icon to start again the demo launcher window

The demo launcher window is displayed fullscreen
HDMI hot-unplug
- Board started
- DSI display connected
- HDMI monitor connected
Unplug the HDMI monitor DSI Wayland background GTK launcher.png
The demo launcher window is not downscaled

Restart Weston[2] DSI Wayland background.png HDMI black screen.png


The following statements explain the use cases summarized above:

  • The U-Boot graphical console ("ST life.augmented" picture) is never displayed on the HDMI monitor. This console is displayed on the DSI display (if any on the board).
  • If the board has both a DSI display and an HDMI monitor, the Wayland background layer is only displayed on one of these displays (see the "rules" below).
  • HDMI unplugged: if no HDMI monitor is connected to the board before the board starts, and if a DSI display is connected to the board, the Wayland background layer is displayed on the DSI display.
  • HDMI cold-plug: if an HDMI monitor is connected to the board before the board starts, the Wayland background layer is displayed on this HDMI monitor.
  • HDMI hot-plug: if an HDMI monitor is connected to the board after the board starts, this plug is automatically detected by Wayland / Weston. The demo launcher window is not automatically upscaled: close and open it again to have it fullscreeen on the HDMI monitor.
  • HDMI hot-unplug: if an HDMI monitor is disconnected from the board while the Wayland background layer is displayed on the HDMI monitor, this unplug is automatically detected by Wayland / Weston. The demo launcher window is not automatically downscaled: restart Weston[2] to have it fullscreen on the DSI display.

4 Video modes[edit]

Generally, the HDMI monitor (or TV) provides several video modes (resolutions and refresh frequencies), that might not be all supported by the platform. In case of HDMI cold-plug or HDMI hot-plug, the first video mode provided by the HDMI monitor that is supported by the platform, is selected. To change this video mode selected per default, all the video modes both provided by the HDMI monitor and supported by the platform shall be retrieved, optionally tested, and finally set in the weston.ini configuration file[3].

Let us assume that the DSI display and the HDMI monitor are connected to the board, and that the Wayland background is displayed on the HDMI monitor.

  • Retrieve the video modes provided by the HDMI monitor and supported by the platform thanks to the modetest command (see below how to get all the video modes supported by the HDMI monitor, whether they are supported or not by the platform)
 modetest -M stm

  • Per default, the first video mode provided by the HDMI monitor that is supported by the platform, is selected: here, it is the 1280x720 60 resolution
    • Check it with the information provided by the modetest command: make the link between the HDMI connector 29, the encoder id 28, the CRTC id 33, and finally the video mode 1280x720 60

  • Stop Weston[2], use the modetest command[4] to test the different modes, and restart Weston[2]

Syntax:

 modetest -M stm -s <HDMI connector>:<selected resolution> -v

Example with the 8 modes identified above:

 systemctl stop weston-graphical-session
 modetest -M stm -s 29:1920x1080-30 -v
 modetest -M stm -s 29:1920x1080-25 -v
 modetest -M stm -s 29:1920x1080-24 -v
 modetest -M stm -s 29:1280x720-60 -v  # -60 to specify the Hz as there are two 1280x720 modes
 modetest -M stm -s 29:1280x720-50 -v  # -50 to specify the Hz as there are two 1280x720 modes
 modetest -M stm -s 29:800x600 -v
 modetest -M stm -s 29:720x480 -v
 modetest -M stm -s 29:720x576 -v
 systemctl start weston-graphical-session


  • Set the selected video mode in the /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini configuration file, and restart Weston[2]

Syntax:

[output]
name=HDMI-A-1
mode=<selected resolution>

Example (720x480 resolution selected):

mode=720x480
 systemctl restart weston-graphical-session


  • Check that the new video mode has been taken into account with the information provided by the modetest command: make the link between the HDMI connector 29, the encoder id 28, the CRTC id 33, and finally the new video mode 720x480
