DS90C385A: BSP Support for Linux other than TI Linux

Part Number: DS90C385A

HI all,

I am trying to drive a 10.1"  LVDS Display with a resolution of : 1280x800. At the core i am trying to drive it using DS90C385A RGB to LVDS Converter.

The controller used here is STM32MP1. While making the device tree changes for the same it  struck to me , that whether i need to have some sort of kernel support for this IC.

Is there requirement of some sort of driver to be already in place for this to work?

What additional set of changes i might need to make it work, apart from device tree?


Appreciate all the help i can get from this forum.

Thanks,

Nipun Pal.

  • Hello Nipun,

    From the TI side we can not comment on the functionality of the STM32MP1 device as that is not a TI processor, but generally speaking the device itself is quite simple and should not require a SW driver. It does not have any register configurations. It simply takes in standard parallel RGB input and converts to LVDS physical layer format. 

    Best Regards,

    Casey 

  • Thanks casey. I believe this answers my question since it from the front that STM32MP1 also runs linux at the core. So this clears my query. Cheers..!!!
