Looks like the seek=%d in the sprintf is not working. 0x11 0x0A are being returned by the monitor from DPCD’s 0x0000 and 0x0001 repeatedly. The first is DPCD revision (1.1) and the second is maximum Link Rate (0x0a) which is 2.7 Gbps. You might want to do a printf of call to make sure seek is being set correctly.
Which brings up another issue: eDP Backlight Brightness LSB is at hex 0x723 or 1827 decimal. You might also want to confirm your panel supports DPCD backlight adjustment by reading DPCD 0x701 and confirm bit 0 is set.

Hi Jani,
I seek 0-800 and here's what I get, all 11 0A in hex. Not sure if this is the brightness value of the display. I also did a test, when I disconnect the DP to the display and execute the dd commands, it would say error reading 'dev/drm_dp_aux1': Connection timed out. So I think my display setup is okay and the 11 0A values are really coming out from the display.
Output in hex: 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A 11 0A ....
int main(int argc, char **argv) { int ret = 0; int offset = 0; char call[100]; for(offset=0;offset<800;offset++) { sprintf(call,"dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 bs=1 count=2 seek=%d >> out.txt",offset); ret = system(call); } return 0; } Regards, John

Hi Jani, I can now see /dev/drm_dp_aux*. I'm not familiar with dd command.Correct me if I'm wrong. Possible commands i tried and nothing happen:dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 seek=723 ibs=2dd of=/dev/drm_dp_aux1 seek=723 ibs=2 dd if=/dev/drm_dp_aux2 seek=723 ibs=2dd of=/dev/drm_dp_aux2 seek=723 ibs=2 I assumed I could read the brightness msb and lsb using the define in drm_dp_helper.h. #define DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB 0x722#define DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_LSB 0x723
You're mixing hex and decimal numbers, you should probably use bs=1 count=2, dd outputs binary so you probably need to pipe it to hexdump to see anything, etc. Perhaps start experiments with reading at seek=0.
From here, I was thinking if I could try to open \dev\drm_dp_aux* then read the brightness offset 0x723, though not sure how to proceed with it.I was able to successfully open \dev\drm_dp_aux1 and \dev\drm_dp_aux2 but I thinking I'm wrong when I proceed to ioctl because they all failed.
It's a character device, open, seek, read/write. Don't try any ioctls on it.
Good luck.
BR,
Jani.

I was able to update my kernel to 4.6 which has the DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV in the Kconfig file linux-4.6\drivers\gpu\drm. Though I also add DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV=y in kernel config. When invoke uname -r, I could see that the kernel is now 4.6.
If you're updating kernels, why not update to a recent kernel that's actually supported...?
How can I verify the DRM_DP_AUX_CHARDEV takes effect or got configure it correctly?
Boot the kernel, run 'ls /dev/drm_dp_aux*'. If you see stuff, you got it right.
It still unclear to me how to follow what you mean by using DRM DP AUX interface and getting /dev/drm_dp_auxN node(s) that allows me to read and write arbitrary DPCD offsets.
The device is a char device you can open, seek to an offset (which would be the DPCD offset), and read. For testing, you can achieve the same using dd.
