Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ screen glitches

(1/2) > >>

kazekage:
Hello. I've been using rockbox for a while at my Clip+ without any troubles. But lately i've started to get video artifacts like those on the screens below. I think my problem could be hardware-related as i accidentally washed my Clip+ few days ago. But which is strange, when i boot into original sansa firmware it works perfectly fine, just the way it's been always working.




Can you please give me any suggestion to what can cause this behaviour? I've re-installed original firmware, rockbox and bootloader several times without any success. Thank you in advance.

Not sure what causes this.
In the code I do see that we're not really careful in properly resetting the display controller. Perhaps a more thorough reset in the display code fixes the problem.

To make things slightly more complicated, there can be two different kinds of display in the clip+. Can you go into menu system/debug/View I/O ports and tell me the value of GPIOB?

kazekage:
GPIOB: E4    DIR:E5

bertrik:
Are you able to compile a test build, based on a patch I could write?

kazekage:
I think I will be able to do that with the wiki guide assistance.
