Known issues
-
Display may momentarily go blue, then black when starting, or slaying, an application
on the i.MX6 SabreSmart platform. This is expected behavior when the format of a
single window, that's on the display, changes between a 16-bit and 32-bit RGB
(e.g., when one application uses RGB565, while another uses RGBA8888). (Ref# J1312155)
Workaround: Avoid using a mix of windows in 16-bit RGB format (e.g., RGB565) with other formats (e.g., RGBA8888, NV12, etc.), or ensure that multiple windows are visible at all times.
