Forlinx Embedded AM62x SoM, Empowering a New Generation of HMI

HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is a medium for interaction and information exchange between systems and users. It is essential in fields involving human-machine communication, and can be seen in many industries. As technology advances, HMI continues to evolve. In addition to data collection, control, and display, future HMI will incorporate new interactive forms to enable machines to operate more intelligently and interact more efficiently with humans.

The increasing demand for more intelligent human-machine interactions also raises higher requirements for processors used in HMI applications. In order to assist engineers with terminal development requirements in selecting the main controller, in this article, the author will provide a detailed explanation of the three key elements that will influence the next generation of HMI.

Smarter Interaction

AI support will help the new generation of HMI achieve more powerful functions. For example, AI face recognition can be used to realize human access to devices, and AI gesture recognition can also be used to realize contactless control between people and devices. At the same time, it also allows the equipment to monitor and analyze the current system status more accurately. For example, in the medical field, intelligent HMI systems can allow doctors to interact with medical devices through gestures.

Balance of Power Consumption And Performance

AI function support puts forward higher requirements for the performance of processors, and the high integration and performance improvement of chips will inevitably increase power consumption and generate more heat. In order for devices with limited size to be able to adapt to a more diverse and complex environment, it is very important to have multiple power consumption mode options - the freedom to choose between high power consumption, low power consumption, and ultra-low power consumption modes. This not only allows performance to be properly optimized, but also helps to better control costs, achieving a balance between power consumption and performance.

Enhanced Communication Capabilities

The increase in real-time industrial communication protocols has also brought new challenges to the new generation of HMI applications. For example, the HMI applied in the smart factory not only needs to carry the task of exchanging information between people and equipment, but also needs to complete the function of communicating with other machines and equipments, which means that the HMI needs to have a stronger connection and control function.

FET6254-C SoM launched by Forlinx Embedded not only meets the traditional HMI's human-computer interaction needs but also can realize the three key elements mentioned above, empowering the new generation of HMI.

FET6254-C System on module is built on the TI Sitara™ AM6254 industrial-grade processor, featuring a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 architecture with a maximum frequency of up to 1.4GHz. It enables edge AI capabilities, making the HMI smarter and more intelligent. During the development process, rigorous environmental temperature testing, pressure testing, and long-term stability testing were conducted to ensure that it can operate stably in harsh environments.

Not only the performance is guaranteed, but also the power consumption can be very low. Through a simplified power architecture design, the AM62x processor exhibits extremely low power consumption performance, with power as low as 5mW in deep sleep mode. With a core voltage of 0.75V, the operating power can be kept below 1.5W, greatly reducing system power consumption.

AM62x processor, as the next-generation MPU product in the TI Sitara™ product line, offers richer resource interfaces compared to the previous generation classic processor, the AM335x. It includes features such as 2 x Gigabit Ethernet with TSN support, 3 x CAN-FD, 9 x UART, 2 x USB 2.0 , 2 x LVDS interfaces, RGB, camera, audio, and more. This enhances the product's scalability and flexibility for various applications.

In addition to the advantages mentioned above, Forlinx Embedded has also ported a Chinese input method for the Linux system on the FET6254-C SoM. This makes it more convenient to invoke applications and helps users simplify their development workload. Moreover, the FET6254-C embedded board supports system burning via USB flash drive or TF card and can replace Uboot, Kernel, and device tree in the operating system, making it easy to achieve remote updates for products and helping users save on-site maintenance costs.

The combination of stable quality and rich functionality allows Forlinx Embedded's FET6254-C core board to demonstrate unique advantages in next-generation HMI applications, empowering HMI across industries such as industrial control, power, transportation, and healthcare. This enables machines to operate more intelligently and interact more efficiently with humans. The above is the HMI solution recommendation based on the Forlinx Embedded FET6254-C SoM. We hope it can be helpful for your product design.

Display and Modification of LVDS Display Interface on AM62x Development Board

1. LVDS Interface Specification

Forlinx Embedded OK6254-C development board provides 2 x 4-lane LVDS display serial interfaces supporting up to 1.19Gbps per lane; the maximum resolution supported by a single LVDS interface is WUXGA (1920 x 1200@60fps, 162MHz pixel clock).

In addition, the interface supports the following three output modes:

(1) Single-channel LVDS output mode: at this time, only 1 x LVDS interface displays output;

(2) 2x single-channel LVDS (copy) output mode: in this mode, 2 x LVDS display and output the same content;

(3) Dual LVDS output mode: 8-lane data and 2-lane clock form the same display output channel.Forlinx Embedded OK6254-C development board is equipped with dual asynchronous channels (8 data, 2 clocks), supporting 1920x1200@60fps. All signals are by default compatible with Forlinx Embedded's 10.1-inch LVDS screen, with a resolution of 1280x800@60fps.

2. Output Mode Setting

(1) Single LVDS output mode:

We need a single LVDS screen cable. The black port of the cable is connected to the embedded OK6254-C development board, and the white port is connected to the embedded 10.1-inch LVDS display screen. Connection method as shown in the figure below:

Note that the red line section corresponds to the triangle position, so don't plug it in wrong.

(2) 2x single LVDS (duplicate) output mode:

This mode uses the same connections as the Single LVDS Output Mode. Two white ports link to two 10.1-inch LVDS screens from Forlinx Embedded, and a black port on the right connects to the OK6254-C board's LVDS interface for dual-screen display.

(3) Dual LVDS output mode:

The maximum resolution supported by a single LVDS interface on the OK6254-C development board is WUXGA (1920 x 1200@60fps). To achieve this high-resolution display output, dual LVDS output mode is required.

It is worth noting that the connection between the development board and the screen in this mode is the same as in [Single LVDS Output Mode], but the LVDS cable's and the screen's specifications have been improved.

3. Screen Resolution Changing Method

OK6254-C development board device tree is easy to modify, we need to open the OK6254-C-lvds.dts (single 8-way configuration) and OK6254-C-lvds-dual.dts (dual 8-way configuration) files.

Open OK6254-C-lvds.dts

Open OK6254-C-lvds-dual.dts

The above figure is the single LVDS and dual LVDS screen resolution information, the default resolution of 1024 * 600, and the maximum resolution support of 1920x1200, you can modify the corresponding parameters according to the Screen User’s Manual.

4. Compilation Configuration

Because we only modified the device tree, we don't need a full compilation. After compiling the kernel, a new Image and multiple device tree files will be generated in the images directory. Here we only need to compile the kernel separately.

(1) Switch directory: cd OK6254-linux-sdk/

(2) Execution environment variables:.. build.sh

(3) Execute the instructions that compile the kernel separately: sudo./build. Sh kernel.

(4) Pack all the device tree files to the development board /boot/ directory and replace them, then sync save and reboot scp images/OK6254-C* [email protected]:/boot/

We have modified the corresponding file. How should we select the screen after replacing it? At present, there are three kinds of screen switching control methods: kernel device tree designation, Uboot menu dynamic control, Forlinx Desktop interface and Uboot menu application. Today, I will briefly introduce the dynamic control of Uboot menu.

During Uboot, pressing the space bar will take you to the Uboot menu. There are three options in the menu:

Enter 0 to enter the Uboot command line;

Enter 1 to restart Uboot;

Enter 2 to enter the Display Configuration menu.

There are three options in the menu:

Enter 0 to return to the previous menu;

Enter 1 will toggle what option 1 displays to configure Screen 1 LVDS; Note: Screen 1 supports single LVDS, dual LVDS, and off (i.e., LVDS off)

Enter 2 to toggle the display of option 2 to configure the Screen 2 LCD. Note: Screen 2 supports 1024 * 600 resolution LCD screen, 800 * 480 resolution LCD screen and off (i.e. RGB off)

When selecting the LVDS screen, we enter 1 to select single 8-channel LVDS or dual 8-channel LVDS.

After selecting the desired configuration, enter 0 to return to the previous menu level. Restart Uboot or enter the command line to start the system, which can make the screen settings take effect. For other resolution screens, please modify the kernel device tree screen parameters according to the screen parameter requirements.
