HDMI troubles with Pinephone beta edition
#1
HI all, i just recieved my beta edition of the pinephone, and was very excited to try out the HDMI docking features as i have previously been using a UB Ports edition which does not support the feature.

However i am unable to get the phone to recognize that a HDMI cable is connected, i have tried under factory Manjaro Plasma, Manajaro Phosh Beta 8 and Mobian nightly with no luck. I was under the impression that HDMI out was mostly supported as of now? is there some setup that I'm missing? does it only work on certain distros? is it just broken atm?

Any help is very appreciated, overall i am head over heels with this device, it's exactly what i've been missing form my life!

When using Mobian, you can check for kernal messages with this command:
sudo dmesg

That might tell you what is the problem when you plug in the device. Also remember that you are using USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode and it is your USB-C to HDMI cable which is doing the conversion to HDMI, so you are looking for error messages about DisplayPort in dmesg. You might want to verify that your cable is good or try it with a different cable.

Thanks for the reply Smile

Here is my dmesg output after connecting the dock, (let me know if a full log would be more useful). Nothing immediately obvious jumps out at me, except maybe the part about "received unknown message 0x27".

As for the Dock/HDMI cable, both are working with my android phone and my razer laptop, so presumably the hardware is ok.

Edit: tried again with mobian and got some different output

I have same problem.

I received my PinePhone Beta Edition with convergence package a few days ago. I saw other people using display output on Phosh, so I tried Mobian stable (20210324) and Mobian unstable, but could not get display output working. I also tried postmarketOS-edge with Sxmo so that I can see the output from xrandr, but the phone did not recognized any external display.

I have tested the dock bar on my tablet with Debian-Phosh, and everything worked. So the dock bar is fine. Then I tried flashing ANX7688 firmware on PinePhone, but nothing has changed.

At this point, I have no idea how to investigate the problem any further. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is my dmesg on Mobian stable.

Today I saw this tracking issue on postmarketOS.

https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1009

A few people there reported that lower DRAM frequency may fix the problem.
I tried Manjaro phosh nightly with 492MHz u-boot image, but this did not work for me.

However i am unable to get the phone to recognize that a HDMI cable is connected, i have tried under factory Manjaro Plasma, Manajaro Phosh Beta 8 and Mobian nightly with no luck. I was under the impression that HDMI out was mostly supported as of now? is there some setup that I'm missing? does it only work on certain distros? is it just broken atm?

Any help is very appreciated, overall i am head over heels with this device, it's exactly what i've been missing form my life!
Hello there, I'm in the same predicament as you, 
When my phone arrived, I first tested it with the pre-installed Plasma Mobile, and the HDMI output actually worked. After I flashed Majanro/Phosh it stopped working. I tried reinstalling Plasma Mobile, with no luck making it work again, I've also tried Arch/Phosh with no luck neither. I've confirmed my issue doesn't come from the adapter itself. I've been trying to figure it out all afternoon and I have found myself defeated for today. I'll try poking around it tomorrow, but as far as I can see, I don't know what else to try. 'dmesg' doesn't return anything about DP, except for
'
anx7688 1-0028: DP state changed to 0x00'
and
'
anx7688 1-0028: DP state changed to 0x03'
Hope this can help, cheers!

I just tried the Beta Edition with the docking bar from the convergence package together with Phosh on Mobian stable 20210314 and it worked, but only after several software restarts of the device and inserting/pulling the cable into the phone. Then, without restarting the device it worked each time just by pulling and inserting the cable. It was quite slow to initialize (needed several seconds) and while waiting I did poke at the "undocked" icon from the top menu, but I'm not sure if that helped.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Thank you for your help!

I tried Mobian stable 20210314 again. At first boot, it did not work. After reboot, display output worked! Then I rebooted into Mobian unstable installed on eMMC, and now display output also working here!

I don't know why, but it somehow resolved the problem for me.

Is the reboot fix related to the last shipped Pinephones? I'm curious

Quote:There are still some HDMI issues some people keep reporting, that manifest themselves by anx7688 firmware not getting past „DP status = 0×03“ (it should go from 0 all the way to 6 normally). When this happens it's caused by HDMI controller inside the SoC using incorrect clock frequency, and anx7688 fails to acquire the HDMI signal from the SoC. It should be easy to fix, but I have trouble reproducing it with my kernel and userspace, so I can't identify the root of the problem, yet.

megi mentioned this problem in the latest dev log entry.

I appreciated the note about what the dmesg entry is supposed to report since mine is showing the 0x03 behavior. Now I have a better idea of what to look for as I'm testing.
