Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA4VL, AB15
Hi,
We want to use MIPI-DSI output from the TDA4VM instead of DisplayPort. The simple reason is that we want to allow for a display interface AND also have access to SERDES4 to use as SGMII or QSGMII to supply 4 ports of GbE from the CPSW9G. If using DisplayPort, the TX lanes of SERDES4 would be consumed with the DP function.
From this post, dated over 1 year ago, it is explained that DSI is not supported in Linux, and there are no plans to in the future:
However, from the following e2e post, it seems that TI intended to add support for DSI in SDK 8.4:
But, the latest PSDK Linux Release Notes (8.4) it seems that DSI is not supported:
Having DSI support would allow for much more cost-effective LCD panels to be directly connected to TDA4VM. In addition, expansion to LVDS, HDMI, and FPDLinkIII is also very possible. Our use case involves using this as an HMI, not a camera preview screen, so it makes much more sense to use Linux rather than RTOS to drive it.
What is the plan for adding DSI support to Linux on J7?
Thanks!
