Re: Beadaframe: Display blanks out - PWM to backlight fails

Ok, I just forced a reset of the CPLD by pulling the 3V3 low for a short period ;)
Unfortunatley, there's no pwm after that, I have to restart the board to get it back working...

Any ideas?

Re: Beadaframe: Display blanks out - PWM to backlight fails

After removing that R30, the boards works as before. So, the CPLD should now work without initialization?

Re: Beadaframe: Display blanks out - PWM to backlight fails

Hi, we already tried both methods. If we reboot the board (warm start, typing reboot in the console), the pwm is back and the board works fine. Just writing other values to the pwm-beada does not work. It seems that the FPGA resets itself, and that some initial values are missing after that. There a...

Beadaframe: Display blanks out - PWM to backlight fails

Hi guys, we have an issue with the beadaframe on some devices. Suddenly, the displays blanks out. We tracked the issue down and we found out that there's no more PWM coming from your Altera going to the dc-dc regulator on the display's backside. Everything else works fine, the device is still runnin...

Re: Software keyboard in Android

I forgot to mention that forcing the device in the tablet mode will crash the settings menu. That's because there's no ethernet image available for the tablet dpi settings. So don't forget to add one...

Re: Software keyboard in Android

The problem is that the current image is in the "phone mode". In order to get the on screen keyboard to be displayed you have to get the device in the tablet mode. As far as I remember you can accomplish that by changing the dpi settings...

Re: Flickering Screen if PWM is adjusted

It starts to flicker more the lower the settings is - below 65 you can easily notice it. And around 50, it is unusable. We already tried different displays and cables. It seems that either the cable is too long or there is some kind of interference between the PWM and other signals.

Flickering Screen if PWM is adjusted

If we set PWM to another value than 100%, the Screen starts to flicker. It also depends if we touch the connection between the extension board and the display itself. Only settings the brightness to 100% seems to fix it - maybe because the display is always on?
