11The 'video-mode' environment variable can be used to enable and configure
12some video drivers. The format matches the video= command-line option used
13for Linux:
14
15 video-mode=<driver>:<xres>x<yres>-<depth>@<freq><,option=string>
16
17 <driver> The video driver name, ignored by U-Boot
18 <xres> The X resolution (in pixels) to use.
19 <yres> The Y resolution (in pixels) to use.
20 <depth> The color depth (in bits) to use.
21 <freq> The frequency (in Hz) to use.
22 <options> A comma-separated list of device-specific options

25U-Boot MPC8xx video controller driver
26=====================================
27
28The driver has been tested with the following configurations:

35U-boot sunxi video controller driver
36====================================
37
38U-boot supports hdmi and lcd output on Allwinner sunxi SoCs, lcd output
39requires the CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE Kconfig value to be set.
40
41The sunxi u-boot driver supports the following video-mode options:
42
43- monitor=[none|dvi|hdmi|lcd] - Select the video output to use
44 none: Disable video output.
45 dvi/hdmi: Selects output over the hdmi connector with dvi resp. hdmi output
46 format, if edid is used the format is automatically selected.
47 lcd: Selects video output to a LCD screen.
48 vga: Selects bideo output over the VGA connector.
49 Defaults to monitor=dvi.
50
51- hpd=[0|1] - Enable use of the hdmi HotPlug Detect feature
52 0: Disabled. Configure dvi/hdmi output even if no cable is detected
53 1: Enabled. If a LCD has been configured fallback to the LCD when no cable is
54 detected, if no LCD is configured, disable video ouput.
55 Defaults to hpd=1.
56
57- edid=[0|1] - Enable use of DDC + EDID to get monitor info
58 0: Disabled.
59 1: Enabled. If valid EDID info was read from the monitor the EDID info will
60 overrides the xres, yres and refresh from the video-mode env. variable.
61 Defaults to edid=1.
62
63For example to always use the hdmi connector, even if no cable is inserted,
64using edid info when available and otherwise initalizing it at 1024x768@60Hz,
65use: video-mode=sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=dvi,hpd=0,edid=1 .
