Hello!

The Mallow Carrier Board, when paired with the Verdin AM62, supports LVDS display output through a DSI-to-LVDS bridge configuration. Here’s a concise overview:

  1. DSI-to-LVDS Bridge Configuration:

    • The Texas Instruments SN65DSI84-Q1 DSI to LVDS bridge can be set up for dual-channel LVDS output, supporting resolutions up to 1080p60 with 24-bit color in dual-channel mode. You can find more details in the Toradex documentation.
  2. LVDS Interface Layout Requirements:

    • Ensure proper length matching between the clock pair and data signals.
    • The maximum frequency is contingent on the display resolution, with the frequency being seven times higher than the pixel clock in single-channel mode.
    • Maintain a trace impedance of 100Ω ±15% differential and 55Ω ±15% single-ended.
  3. Connectivity Considerations:

    • The DSI to LVDS bridge requires configuration via I2C.
    • Use the PWM_3_DSI pin (19) for display brightness control.
    • The I2S_2_D_OUT can be utilized for enabling the display backlight.

Setting Up Dual-Channel LVDS:

  1. Hardware Setup:

    • Connect your display to the LVDS Display Connector (X12).
    • Ensure JP1 is configured correctly for backlight power.
    • If using touch functionality, connect the touch interface to X13. More information can be found in the Toradex community discussion.
  2. Software Configuration:

    • Apply the appropriate device tree overlay for your specific display configuration. For instance, a 10.1" LVDS display might use an overlay like “verdin-am62_panel-cap-touch-10inch-lvds_overlay.dtbo.”

I recommend reviewing the specific requirements of your LVDS display panel to ensure compatibility with these specifications.
