LCDC: Raster Mode, Hardware Auto Underflow Restart Does Not Work
Revisions Affected
2.1, 2.0, 1.0
Details
The hardware restart of the LCDC during a FIFO underflow condition does not work.
Setting the AUTO_UFLOW_RESTART bit in the LCDC control register has no effect.
Workarounds
This functionality can be implemented using the software reset method outlined in
Section 13.4.6, Disable and Software Reset Sequence, of the
AM335x ARM Cortex-A8
Microprocessors (MPUs) Technical Reference Manual
(literature number
).
Below are the summarized steps to perform a software reset:
1. Write 0 to the LCDEN bit in the RASTER_CTRL register.
2. Wait for Done interrupt by polling the DONE_RAW_SET bit in the IRQSTATUS_RAW
register.
3. Write 1 to the MAIN_RST, or DMA_RST and CORE_RST bits in the CLKC_RESET
register.
4. Wait several clock cycles.
5. Write 0 to the MAIN_RST, or DMA_RST and CORE_RST bits in the CLKC_RESET
register.
6. Write 1 to the LCDEN bit in the RASTER_CTRL register.
