- HW 02:55 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: AM62A: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier
- I explicitly set CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=n and that was what worked to get rid of the trash since the display does not reset until a little bit into the kernel starting. At this point it seems more an issue with the way the panel driv...

- I wonder if the biggest piece were missing is the disabling CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION step they highlight.
- HW 12:45 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: AM62A: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier
- The display after U-boot resets so the splash screen right now does not persist and the display does not come back on until just before the display manager starts.
The framebuffer handoff however seems to work. Adding the framebuffer ...

- Good morning,
I have readded the PCIe RP IP, but it I still can't regenerate/update the a5e because the tool complaints about the hps emif.
Thank you,

- The changes work great, got it working with our display no problem!
I see what you mean with the scrambled splashscreen, I was going to start following the documentation for handing the frame buffer off to Linux and see what happens w... - JC 04:06 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier

Here are my changes so far, pushed to a test branch, please test it and let me know.

- I believe the PCIe RP IP needs to be regenerated / re-added if you switch between production silicon or R0 silicon so that may be your issue with the PCIe IP.

- Yes,
The actual label on the SOM is A5ED-B64-144-SRC-X, but the box says A5ED-B64-144-SRI-X
I checked the SBC also using jtagconfig and it came back as
1) USB-BlasterII [USB-1]

- Eleonora,
Can you read the label / sticker that is on the SOM module? I believe the device you actually have installed into the development kit is the *A5ED-B64-144-SRC-X* and not *A5ED-B64-144-SRI*. I think this is where the confusio... - EH 01:46 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Not being able to Make jic
- It actually came back with different FPGA - the one that you have
jtagconfig
1) USB-BlasterII [USB-1]
4BA06477 ARM_CORESIGHT_SOC_600
0364F0DD A5E(C065BB32AR0|D065BB32AR0)
I'll change the devise and start over.

- MF 09:21 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Not being able to Make jic
- No the SD card is irrelevant at this stage. JTAG talks directly to the SoC device.
Have you confirmed the device you are trying to flash also has the matching ID via jtagconfig?
If you're still stuck, can you post the entire output... - EH 09:15 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Not being able to Make jic
- I get the correct device
quartus_pfg -i output_files/a5e.hps.jic | grep "Device"
Device name: A5ED065BB32A
Device name: A5ED065BB32AI4S
Is it possible to be a SD card mismatch? A coworker of mine might have used a mitySBC FPGA wh... - MF 08:39 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Not being able to Make jic
- Correction to my last statement, jtagconfig doesn't list the temperature / speed grade (because it is not a gating factor to flash the device).
So jtagconfig reported *A5ED065BB32AR0* while my device is really *A5ED065BB32AE6SR0* - MF 08:34 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Not being able to Make jic
- Hi Eleonora,
Yes *A5ED065BB32AI4S* is the correct part number for *A5ED-B64-144-SRI* .
Please confirm the output JIC was compiled for the correct device by running the following:
*Note - The second string is the full string. I s... - EH 08:18 PM MitySOM-A5 FPGA Development: RE: Not being able to Make jic
- Hello Mike,
Deleting the u-boot-socfpga and bootloade.stamp and running make jic did give me test/ folder and produced *.jic file. Unfortunately, when I tried to program through JTAG, using:

- JC 01:27 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier
- Note one thing I ran into is the ti-dss driver in 2025 u-boot, doesn't currently support switching to video port 1 (where the 62a connected the VOUT pins). There is a upstream patch to add this support so I'm testing if it can be backpo...
- HW 12:54 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier
- I am also attaching the Linux dts, I know the bindings are a little different for the u-boot drivers so I tried to match as closely as possible for the panel and backlight nodes

- Hi Eleonora,
The test/Kconfig error most likely means the U-Boot source tree under software/bootloader/u-boot-socfpga is incomplete. The first time you build, the project Makefile clones U-Boot from our git server into that directory ... - Hi,
I have the example design for PCIE Rootport. It was in a special folder for my use. I made some changes and I'm trying to run make jic, but it gets to place where it can't find test/Kconfig and errors out. I have looked into a mity... - JC 07:50 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier
- Can you share the changes you've made so far as a patch/diff?
- HW 06:57 PM MitySOM-AM62, MitySOM-AM62A, & MitySOM-AM62P Software Development: RE: Getting the Splash Screen to Appear Earlier
- I was able to create nodes in the u-boot device tree for my panel, pwm-backlight, and the video driver (dss).
In drivers/video/tidss/tidss_drv.c added the compatible line for the am62a7 so the tidss driver can bind properly

I do think that getting the u-boot splash screen support working would make the... - Good morning,
I am finding that the psplash screen comes up very late while the kernel is initializing to the point where it sometimes does not appear because it is started as the kernel boot is completed.
