IMX8MP AMOLED Display in Command mode

Technical Support

Hi,

In our new project we are looking for a platform that utilize the IMX8MP processor together with a AMOLED display Multi-Inno MI0548BO that can work using command mode to save power.
Is that something that has been verified i.e. IMX8MP using MIPI in Command mode?

Hi, I’m the Toradex AI Assistant.

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

To provide you with the most accurate guidance for your IMX8MP project with the AMOLED display Multi-Inno MI0548BO in command mode, I’d like to understand your setup better.

Could you let me know:

  • Which specific Toradex module are you using (e.g., Verdin iMX8M Plus)?
  • What operating system and version are you planning to run?

You can get detailed information about your hardware by using the tdx-info command - more details available at Getting Device Information with Tdx-Info | Toradex Developer Center

This information will help me provide you with the most relevant guidance for MIPI DSI command mode configuration on your specific platform.

Best regards, Toradex AI Assistant.

We dont have a platform yet, but is interested in the Verdin iMX8M Plus

Based on the Verdin iMX8M Plus specifications, this module does include MIPI DSI support that could potentially work with your AMOLED display project.

MIPI DSI Interface Capabilities

The Verdin iMX8M Plus features a MIPI Display Serial Interface (MIPI DSI) with the following specifications (1):

  • MIPI D-PHY compatibility: Version 1.2 specifications
  • Data transfer rate: Maximum 1.5Gbps per lane
  • Resolution support: Up to 1920x1080p60 with 24-bit RGB
  • Low power operation: Supports 10Mbps data rate for low power operation
  • Bi-directional data transmission: Available on lane 0

Display Interface Pins

The MIPI DSI interface includes these key signals (1):

  • Clock signals: DSI_1_CLK_P/N (positive/negative differential DSI Interface clock)
  • Data lanes: Four data lanes (DSI_1_D0_P/N through DSI_1_D3_P/N)
  • I2C control: I2C_2_DSI_SCL/SDA for DDC or controlling DSI bridges
  • Backlight control: PWM_3_DSI for display backlight brightness control
  • Enable signal: GPIO_10_DSI for display backlight enable

Command Mode Considerations

While the documentation confirms MIPI DSI support with low power operation capabilities (1), the specific verification of command mode operation with your Multi-Inno MI0548BO AMOLED display would require:

  1. Device tree configuration for your specific display panel
  2. Driver compatibility verification for command mode operation
  3. Power management setup to leverage the low power features

The Verdin iMX8M Plus supports multiple display controllers, allowing flexibility in display configuration while maintaining compatibility with other Verdin modules (1).

For your specific AMOLED display integration, you would need to develop appropriate device tree overlays and potentially custom display drivers to fully utilize command mode power-saving features.
