SN65DSI83: Android/Linux Driver for SN65DSI83 Converter

Part Number: SN65DSI83

Tool/software:

Dear Texas Instruments Support,

We are currently working on a custom video board that uses the SN65DSI83 MIPI-to-LVDS bridge to interface with an LVDS display. The board will be connected to a Quectel SC200E module running Android 14.

We have reviewed the documentation available on your website (datasheet, etc.), but we were unable to find any Android/Linux driver for the SN65DSI83.

Could you please let us know if a Linux/Android driver is available for this component? If so, we would greatly appreciate access to the source code or documentation, or guidance on how to obtain it.
If the driver is subject to NDA or restricted access, we would be happy to follow the proper procedure to request it.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,
Hanwei

    Hi Hanwei,

    The onlyLinux driver example we have for the DSI83/84/85 is shared here: Question about SN65DSI84 

    The DSI83 device can be programmed via I2C, and the initialization sequence with power-up is shared in the datasheet. The initialization register settings can be generated using the DSI tuner tool. So, the resolution display timings, DSI and LVDs configurations, clocking, etc is entered into the GUI and it will generate the initialization register settings. The register settings are then added to the initialization script. 

    The SoC / source configuration for the Quectel device will have to be done based on the DSI settings and display timings.

    For the register settings, the customer can use the the DSI tuner tool which can be downloaded here: SN65DSI83: DSI TUNER tool needed
    And this app note shared how to use the tool for video configuration: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slla332b/slla332b.pdf?ts=1746586623218

    Please let me know if there are any further questions.

    Best regards,
    Ikram
