AVNET SmartEdge IIOT Gateway: can't get FullHD(1920x1080p) display content for X11

billounet

Hi All,

I'm facing a major issue as I'm not able to display x11 in full screen when connecting a FullHD (1920x1080) display panel on the HDMI port off the AVNET SmartEdge IIOT Gateway.

I'm using the latest runtime image from avnet generated on 2020 March 26 (from here).

I have run only those commands, to install X11 server and chromium.

 

# Ensure Avnet /boot files don't change with upgrade

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-bootloader

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-sys-mods


# Get latest updates

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

 

# remove pre-installed softwares

apt-get remove -y --purge scratch squeak-plugins-scratch squeak-vm python-minecraftpi minecraft-pi sonic-pi oracle-java8-jdk bluej greenfoot libreoffice-common libreoffice-core freepats nodejs

apt-get autoremove -y


# install minimal set for x11 and chromium

apt-get --assume-yes install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg x11-xserver-utils xinit openbox

apt-get --assume-yes install --no-install-recommends raspberrypi-ui-mods

apt-get --assume-yes install --no-install-recommends lightdm

apt-get --assume-yes install --no-install-recommends chromium-browser

 

I have set the screen resolution in the config.txt with :

hdmi_group=2

hdmi_mode=82

The display panel is reporting the right resolution, but the content (Xorg session) is not full screen.

The fbset command reports a strange resolution of 1824x984 instead of 1920x1080. So I have modified the /etc/fb.modes file and added :

mode "1920x1080-60"
    # D: 148.500 MHz, H: 67.500 kHz, V: 60.000 Hz
    geometry 1920 1080 1920 1080 32
    timings 6734 148 88 36 4 44 5
    hsync high
    vsync high
    accel true
    rgba 8/0,8/8,8/16,8/24
endmode

 

But this does not help. So does someone have been able to run content in full screen on that platform ?

If yes, then what is the magic configuration !

    Hi Avnet and Element14,

     

    I have tried the latest runtime image from you delivered on Feb 2021, and I'm still not able to get the content displayed correctly on my screen. I have tested with 4 different screens from 4 different manufacturers and the problem still exist.

    Is someone able to perform the exact operation that I have done on its device and tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

     

    Steps :

    1/ Update the platform using the latest runtime image

    2/ Create a ssh file in the /boot folder to enable ssh

    3/ Connect remotely to the target and run commands as root :

     

    # Ensure Avnet /boot files don't change with upgrade

     

    apt-mark hold raspberrypi-bootloader

    apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel

    apt-mark hold raspberrypi-sys-mods


    # Get latest updates

    apt update

    apt upgrade -y

    apt dist-upgrade -y

     

    # Install Xorg and lightdm

    apt --assume-yes install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg raspberrypi-ui-mods lightdm

     

    4/ Edit the /boot/config to set the screen resolution

    hdmi_group=2

    hdmi_mode=82

     

    5/ Reboot
