Yes, even I'm using the Linux and u-boot driver routines as base. And your exquisite version for the i.mx53 as reference. The initialisation routine for i.mx6 though similar, is not entirely same. The CCM defs and protocols are a bit different since I.MX6 has two IPU units.

And as far as IOMUXC+GPIO pads are concerned, we've written a macro that sets the display on (though it's unclear as to which pin to set to do that). We first wrote the macro in the driver space itself, but Genode's excellent RM service threw a faulted error. So as a ready-reckoner, put the code at kernel level. No positive result, unfortunately.

Can you shed some light on why the following exception is thrown? "C++ runtime: Genode::Parent::Service_denied". I tried running the nitpicker test directly and the service goes to abort() from the boot_modules.

Best,
Aditya.
