1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.
Always note that improper disassembling action could cause damage to the
motherboard. We suggest not removing the heatsink without correct
instructions in any circumstance. If you really have to do this, please contact
us for further support.

3.8 Display output application of IMX6
This section describes how to setup the display output for LVDS, HDMI, VGA of IMX6
module.
1. You can find the file of resolution setup of LVDS&VGA under the
directory ”..~/core/kernel/drivers/video/mxc”, for LVDS is ”ldb.c”, and for VGA is ”
mxc_lcdif.c”.
”ldb.c” ”mxc_lcdif.c”
2. You need to fill the resolution parameter(.mode_str) on the file ”rev_sa01.c”
under ”~/core/kernel/arch/arm/mach-mx6/smarc/”, and the code of First Display is
alway in the upper block.

3. Finally, you should fill the parameter for booting on the file ”mx6_smarc.h” under the
directory ”~/core/u-boot/include/configs/”.
Please add ”video=mxcfb0:dev=display name” on the column 132
"rootwait rw \0" to enable display output function when booting.
4. Please refer ch1.3 to re-build the u-boot &Kernel binary file for booting.
Note: If you need to use double display output in Ubuntu, you should setup the ”
rev_sa01.c” file first then add the content ”video=mxcfb0:dev=first display name

SMA-IMX6 User’s Manual
video=mxcfb1:dev=second display neme” to mx6_smarc.h, but for this application,
you also need to write a program for controling the second diplay first or the second
display will not enable after you follow up all the setting above.
