dsi lcd display free sample

6) Power on the Raspberry Pi and wait for a few seconds until the LCD displays normally. And the touch function can also work after the system starts.

If you are using the Buster branch system, the DSI LCD can work with Raspberry Pi directly after connecting and powering on. But if you are using the Bullseye branch system, you need to modify the config.txt as below:

How many times did you start to plan a project and thought to yourself “if only I had a display that can fit within this design”? How many times did you alter the whole design because there were no displays available on the market that went with your idea?

If you’ve liked our standard display offer so far, you’ll be thrilled by what we can offer you now. It works like this: you send us your project information and display requirements, and we send you a free sample. Custom made and designed to fit perfectly within your project.

I"m trying to find a 7" touchscreen compatible with the DSI interface. The board I"ve chosen for my CM4 has two DSI connection ports and ultimately I will use two identical touchscreens, one on each DSI port. I only require one to have touch functionality but having it on both would be a nice bonus!

I really don"t want to use the HDMI interface and would like to stick with DSI due to it"s low-power requirements and singular connection back to the raspberry pi.

That"s the only DSI touchscreen display compatible with the Raspberry Pi for far. For the display you will have to use a 22-pin DSI adapter (to 15-pin).

DSI displays (without touch) have been connected successfully (i.e. https://github.com/harlab/CM4_LCD_LT070ME05000) but touch part requires additional effort/not implemented yet.

If you want to connect your own DSI screen feel free doing so! As long as it is max 4 DSI-lanes, you have a suitable driver and overlay chances are good. But: don"t underestimate the effort it takes to get them working!

The only DSI display supported by the firmware is the Raspberry Pi 800x480 7" touchscreen, and then only one instance of it (IIRC you can choose whether that is connected to DISP1 (default) or DISP0).

We currently have overlays for the Pi 7" panel (vc4-kms-dsi-7inch), and JDI LT070ME05000 1200x1920 (vc4-kms-dsi-lt070me05000). Both are configured to use the DISP1 connector on the CMIO boards. vc4-kms-dsi-7inch could be tweaked to work on DISP0, but as that only supports 2 data lanes it won"t support LT070ME05000.

I have had an Ilitek ILI9881C (720x1280 or 800x1280) based panel running, and aBUGSworstnightmare is working with the TI SN65DSI83 DSI to LVDS chip with some LVDS panels.

If you don"t have a complete datasheet for your panel, then you have a huge task ahead of you. Debugging DSI is VERY hard in that if things are wrong then the panel just sits there dumbly and gives you no indication of what is wrong. Pi Towers is in the process of buying a DSI analyser to try and give ourselves a better chance at being sure that the Pi is doing what it is asked.

Even if you have a full datasheet, that is no guarantee that the panel/interface chip follows it. When investigating a Synaptics panel a while back we had to reverse engineer the commands that an HDMI to DSI bridge board was sending to the panel in order to create a working setup. It didn"t follow the datasheet.

Even me knowing all the dirty details of the panel under test, having all available TCON documentation on hands (data sheet, app notes, dedicated app not dealing with the MUX and DGC, etc) did not allow me to get the display to life; overlay was loaded, X working fine but pitch black screen. A DSI analyser is for sure a must have here from my POV, but only affordable for business use. So, good to hear that Pi Towers is investing in this.

Very good information, thank you so much! It sounds like of the 2 DSI connectors provided by CM4, 1 operates at a maximum of 4 lanes, and the 2nd operates at a maximum of 2 lanes. Not that big of an issue, having one display with a high quality resolution hooked up to the 4 lane port and then a much lower quality resolution hooked up to the other would be perfectly fine for my project.

Unfortunately it sounds like the DSI specification provided by raspberry pi hasn"t been well adopted, if at all, by manufacturers of PI hardware even though there seems to be an outcry for it from the community. I think I read in another forum post that only up until recently has the DSI spec on the PI been upgraded to 4 lanes on one of the ports. Maybe now more hardware will start rolling out for it since capabilities have expanded.

Nonetheless, this seems like a huge undertaking, especially for a novice like myself.. Sadly the bezel around the official raspberry pi dsi touchscreen is much too large. I must be able to fit my screen into a maximum of 100mm height by 178mm width..

2-lane DSI is able to support 1360x768, 3-lane is perfectly fine for 1920x1080 , so what is your understanding of "high quality resolution"? Some folks consider a high PPI as "high quality"..

4-lane DSI , as well as the 2-lane DSI has been exposed on the Compute Module 1 already. CM did not saw that much attention because the "average noob" was not able to deal with them.

The CM4 is changing the story because the module itself offers WiFi/BT and Ethernet and the CM4IO and a huge range of third party platforms (thanks to the having the design files available un KiCAD) make using it as simple as a normal Pi. Advantage: dual CSI and dual DSI interface is available which offers a huge set of possibilities.

Nonetheless, this seems like a huge undertaking, especially for a novice like myself.. Sadly the bezel around the official raspberry pi dsi touchscreen is much too large. I must be able to fit my screen into a maximum of 100mm height by 178mm width..

Getting a DSI display to work on ANY platform is a "huge undertaking" for professionals too! Debugging DSI is a pain in the back and requires special - high expensive - tools.

So, if you need two 4-lane DSI (or even a 8-lane) stay away from RPi and use another SOC platform. Ohh .. Be warned ., they will be more expensive and more complex to use. And .. There is no simple/small baseboard for most cases.

It is true that very few people had tried to use it, but that"s partly down to the complexity of DSI. It isn"t a plug and play interface in the way that HDMI, VGA, or DP are, and it"s more complex than DPI in that you have a command path that is frequently used to configure the panel/driver chip as well as sending it video data. It"s certainly beyond most hobbyists, and I don"t see that changing, largely because documentation on the panels is frequently lacking.

The asymmetry in CSI and DSI ports harks back to VideoCore"s origins in mobile devices. At least when the IP was being written you typically had a lower resolution front camera, and high res rear camera hence a 2 lane and 4 lane CSI interface, and likewise one high res main screen (4 lane) and potentially a smaller status screen (2 lane).

I guess my main concern here is that, yes I can find screens at these resolutions but an accompanying driver board to give DSI interface output to the CM4 seems impossible to find. Now that I have been enlightened it sounds like even with a driver board, software drivers will be another hurdle.

DSI interface has been speced by Mobile Industry Processor Interface Alliance - in short MIPI, and as indicated by the name targeting an interface spec for mobile applications. As such, there is no need for an "interface board".

Display is directly connected to the SOC without any glue logic. In case of the Broadcom devices the DSI is 2-lane and 4-lane as mentioned by 6by9. Don"t expect this to change in the near future as it requires a new SOC design (as said too).

For applications which don"t have DSI or which need different specs some companies have designed bridge IC, i.e. https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/eu/ ... e-ics.html

So, as you want to use CM4 you can "easily" design your custom baseboard which has i.e. two ​TC358870XBG https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/eu/ ... 40XBG.html connected to the HDMI interfaces. The CM4 will happily drive two (up to) 3840x2160, 30 fps, 24 bpp displays for you.

The following MIPI interface OLED and LCD panels already have firmware connectivity solutions. It may still require a custom FPC cable to meet specific project requirements:

I agree with others, if DSI screen, then I would take the original Raspberry DSI screen [I just write this posting in hospital with that display, but don"t use its touch functionality (that works) -- but touchpad of Logitech K400+ wireless keyboard instead]. @aBUGSwortsnightmare just helped me resolve "800x480 display too small for using gimp" issue via software:

I use 1024x600 HDMI no-touch 9" display without any issues (26$ inclusive(!) driver board and shipping from China). I really like 9" 1024x600 displays over 7" 1024x600 displays -- spending 10$ more you can even get 10" 1024x600 HDMI display with same driver (I switched driver boards between 9" and 10" displays and they work):

Beware of 7" 1024x600 displays that only have rgb666 colors (I have one from Waveshare). The 1024x600 9" and 10" displays cost less than the Waveshare one (45$), and have rgb888 colors!

LCD can’t be driven with DC (Direct Current), it has to be driven with AC (Alternative Current) and the overall current has to be ZERO. Otherwise, the Liquid Crystal Material will be damaged sooner or later.

The Controller IC receives data written in ASCII or JIS code from the MPU and stores this data in RAM. This data is then converted into serial character patterns and transferred to the LCD driver IC.

RGB interface often been used in control large-scale high-resolution LCD display. It include 6/16/18bits data (like R0, R1, , , G0, G1, , ,B0, B1, , , ), VSYNC (Vertical synchronization), HSYNC (Horizontal synchronization).

Aimed at reducing the cost of display controllers in a mobile device. It is commonly targeted at LCD and similar display technologies. It defines a serial bus and a communication protocol between the host (source of the image data) and the device (destination of the image data)

DisplayPort (DP) is a digital display interface developed by a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers and standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, and it can also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data.

DisplayPort was designed to replace VGA, DVI, and FPD-Link. The interface is backward compatible with other interfaces, such as HDMI and DVI, through the use of either active or passive adapters. It is mostly used for larger size and higher resolution displays.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device. HDMI is a digital replacement for analog video standards.

This library is a professional graphical stack library to build Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) with any STM32, any LCD/TFT display and any LCD/TFT controller, taking advantage of STM32 hardware accelerations whenever possible.

The STemWin Library is a comprehensive solution that comes with a rich feature set, such as JPG, GIF and PNG decoding, many widgets (checkboxes, buttons…) and a VNC server enabling the remote display of local displays, as well as professional development tools, such as GUIBuilder to create GUIs with a simple drag and drop.

Alternatively, it may be possible to design an expansion board that plugs into the LCD headers on the R.Pi. Here is something similar for Beagleboard:

An additional binary blob might be required for the DSI port to function correctly (or function at all). When or if such a blob will be made available is unknown. Update 04 Jun 2013: "DSI will get done though - there are 1.5M boards out there with the connector on - that would, as you say, have been a waste of money ($120k??) if it never gets used." [1]

The schematics for apples iPhone 3gs and 4g suggest they speak DSI, thus they can probably be connected directly. The older iPhones use a "Mobile Pixel Link" connection from National Semiconductor. The 3GS panel (480×320) goes as low as US $14.88, while the 4G one (960×640, possibly the LG LH350WS1-SD01, with specifications) can be had for US $17.99 or as low as US $14.28. The connectors used might be an issue, but this connector might fit. Additional circuitry might be necessary to provide the display with required 1.8V and 5.7V for operation, and an even higher voltage for the backlight.

Parallel interface displays can be found in many sizes, usually up to 7" and more. Parallel interfaces are usually 8 or 16-bits wide (sometimes 18 or 24-bit wide), plus some control-lines. The Raspberry Pi P1-connector does not contain enough GPIOs for 16-bit wide parallel displays, but this could be solved by borrowing some GPIOs from the CSI-connector or from P5 (on newer Raspberry Pis). Alternatively, some additional electronics (e.g. shift-registers or a CPLD) can be used, which could also improve the framerate or lower the CPU-load.

The Display Serial Interface (DSI) is a specification by the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance aimed at reducing the cost of display controllers in a mobile device. It is commonly targeted at LCD and similar display technologies. It defines a serial bus and a communication protocol between the host, the source of the image data, and the device which is the destination. The interface is closed source, which means that the specification of the interface is not open to the public. The maintenance of the interface is the responsibility of the MIPI Alliance. Only legal entities (e.g. companies) can be members. These members or the persons commissioned and approved by them have access to the specification in order to use it in their possible applications.

At the physical layer, DSI specifies a high-speed (e.g. 4.5Gbit/s/lane for D-PHY 2.0differential signaling point-to-point serial bus. This bus includes one high speed clock lane and one or more data lanes. Each lane is carried on two wires (due to differential signaling). All lanes travel from the DSI host to the DSI device, except for the first data lane (lane 0), which is capable of a bus turnaround (BTA) operation that allows it to reverse transmission direction. When more than one lane is used, they are used in parallel to transmit data, with each sequential bit in the stream traveling on the next lane. That is, if 4 lanes are being used, 4 bits are transmitted simultaneously, one on each lane. The link operates in either low power (LP) mode or high speed (HS) mode. In low power mode, the high speed clock is disabled and signal clocking information is embedded in the data. In this mode, the data rate is insufficient to drive a display, but is usable for sending configuration information and commands. High speed mode enables the high speed clock (at frequencies from tens of megahertz to over one gigahertz) that acts as the bit clock for the data lanes. Clock speeds vary by the requirements of the display. High speed mode is still designed to reduce power usage due to its low voltage signaling and parallel transfer ability.

The communication protocol describes two sets of instructions. The Display Command Set (DCS) is a set of common commands for controlling the display device, and their format is specified by the DSI standard. It defines registers that can be addressed and what their operation is. It includes basic commands such as sleep, enable, and invert display. The Manufacturer Command Set (MCS) is a device-specific command space whose definition is up to the device manufacturer. It often includes commands required to program non-volatile memory, set specific device registers (such as gamma correction), or perform other actions not described in the DSI standard. The packet format of both sets is specified by the DSI standard. There are Short and Long Packets, Short Packet is 4 bytes long; Long Packet can be of any length up to 216 bytes. Packets are composed of a DataID, Word count, Error Correction Code (ECC), Payload and Checksum (CRC). Commands that require reading data back from the device trigger a BTA event, which allows the device to reply with the requested data. A device cannot initiate a transfer; it can only reply to host requests.

Image data on the bus is interleaved with signals for horizontal and vertical blanking intervals (porches). The data is drawn to the display in real time and not stored by the device. This allows the manufacture of simpler display devices without frame buffer memory. However, it also means that the device must be continuously refreshed (at a rate such as 30 or 60 frames per second) or it will lose the image. Image data is only sent in HS mode. When in HS mode, commands are transmitted during the vertical blanking interval.
