7 inch LCD interface with AM335x

Hi

I'm planning to use 7 inch LCD module with AM335x. For this purpose, I'm using the Starter kit design which uses 4.3 inch LCD module. 

The LCD module with starter kit (4.3") & the one I'm planning to use (7") are both 40 pins, but the order of the signal pins are not in same order.

So for this, what are the changes should I have to make in the starter kit design to accommodate 7" LCD. i.e. Any hardware changes are required or this can be managed with the configuration using PinMux utility?

  •  Hi Viswanathan,
     
    Can you post the pinout of your display? I suspect you will need to make some sort of cross-over adapter, but I would like to compare the two pinouts.

  • Definitely different. In my opinion the best way would be to design a crossover adapter. Two main differences: your display doesn't have touchscreen signals on the connector, and the backlight is completely different. The Starter Kit has the backlight driver on the main PCB, while your display has it on itself and needs LED power supply and PWM drive signal.
