Hi,
when trying the new ST BSP release base on linux kernel 6.1.82 on my stm32mp157f-dk2 I noticed that the legacy framebuffer support is not working anymore.
this was working perfectly on the previous release with linux kernel 6.1.28.
I didn't succeed in getting it working again, here is a fragment of my linux kernel configuration:
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_STM=y
CONFIG_DRM_STM_DSI=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ORISETECH_OTM8009A=y
CONFIG_DRM_SII902X=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GPIO=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y
CONFIG_LOGO=y
can you please advice how to get it working again ?
I don't plan to use DRM.
Best regards

@AZaki.2 ,
I have just tested it and it works for me without patching the kernel or DTS, just by changing the configuration. I put you my own configuration in attachment for you to double check.
After the boot I checked dmesg | grep fb0 :
[ 0.734796] simple-framebuffer ddc00000.framebuffer: [drm] fb0: simpledrmdrmfb frame buffer device
[ 3.272776] stm32-display 5a001000.display-controller: [drm] fb0: stmdrmfb frame buffer device
Finally, I stopped Weston with systemctl stop weston-graphical-session and I did your own test, worked for me.
Kind regards,
Erwan.

Hello @AZaki.2 ,
Thank you for your feedback. Can you just precise me your way to test and validate or not if the feature works as I will certainly need to reproduce myself.
Kind regards,
Erwan.

hello,
a simple test is:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0
you should get some nice noise image on the screen if framebuffer support is working

here are some noticeable traces differences between :

Hello @AZaki.2 ,
I ask myself if this is not due to the continuous display features. Can you remove the default-on property from your Linux device tree on ltdc ?
Kind regards,
Erwan.

I tried it yesterday already by reverting this commit:
https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/linux/commit/c1c0bc827fabea1c73b7dee71b90e7cdef5c9290
But it didn't change anything.

@Erwan SZYMANSKI thanks it worked 🙂
I need to pinpoint to the Kernel config that made the difference.

I did some more test and it looks like the framebuffer isn't working reliably anymore.
I don't see in the dmesg any errors.
I did multiple reboot/reset of the stm32mp157f-dk2 and sometimes it's not working (system is up but no frambuffer , somtimes it hangs completely), this never happened with previous release.
here is my kernel config:
