Displaying an image on a MIPI DSI panel from U-Boot (i.MX8M Mini + TL070WSH30)

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

I might make mistakes or occasionally get you wrong. Our support team will step in if needed.


I understand you’re working on enabling MIPI DSI display output from U-Boot on an i.MX8M Mini-based board. However, I need to clarify that this question falls outside my scope of support.

Scope Limitation

Based on the information you’ve provided, you’re working with:

  • An i.MX8M Mini-based board (not specifically a Toradex module)
  • U-Boot configuration (rather than Torizon OS/TorizonCore)
  • Yocto Kirkstone BSP customization

My support is focused on Toradex embedded Linux software including TorizonCore, Torizon OS, and Toradex Yocto-based BSPs running on Toradex System-on-Modules.

Toradex Alternative Solutions

If you’re interested in MIPI DSI display support with proven Toradex solutions, I’d recommend considering:

Verdin iMX8M Mini

The Verdin iMX8M Mini supports MIPI DSI output and can be configured using Device Tree Overlays(1). For display configuration, the MIPI DSI output can be converted using available Verdin display adapters(2).

Display Configuration Approach

For Toradex modules, display configuration is typically handled through:

  • Device Tree Overlays for hardware customization(1)
  • Pre-configured overlays available in /boot/overlays(2)
  • Modification of overlays.txt file to enable specific display configurations(2)

Community Resources

For your specific U-Boot + i.MX8M Mini setup, you might find relevant discussions in the community forums, such as the MIPI DSI configuration examples(3) that show device tree structures for MIPI DSI panels.

If you’d like to explore Toradex solutions for your display requirements, I’d be happy to help you understand how to configure MIPI DSI displays on Toradex modules using TorizonCore or our Yocto BSPs.

Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.
