Re: DSI roundup

Looking at the data sheet of Ortustech COM43H4M09XLC and comparing it versus Sharp LQ043T1DG59 I figured out that pinout is the same (o.k. there is a small diffeerence which doesn't really matter). I've made a board for Sharp 4.3in LG59 (see here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38...

Display doesn't look Special; that's why assume your Timing and/or Magic number is wrong.
You Need to carfuly read the data sheet, and you Need to have some patience. Setting-up DPI is not the simplest task to do.

You need. to make sure that your DPI interface is working correctly before you try to use any software to display content.

Re: HDMI and DPI in parallel - 2nd

Which display is connected to DPI interface? Do you have the data sheet?

Using a VNC connection from PC to your PI makes 'debugging' DPI timing way more simple.

Re: HDMI and DPI in parallel - 2nd

Most likely your DPI configuration is wrong. Did you ever see something on the TFT connected to DPI interface when using this one only?

First you should try to get the DPI interface running correctly before you mess around with software.
And: hdmi_timings will only be configured during boot.

Re: Multiple TFTs with RGB

Alt2 mode means using DPI interface.
There is only one framebuffer, so all your displays will show the same content and must be the same type - because there is only one configuration for DPI too.

Re: RPi + 10.4" Sharp LCD

Use a Gert VGA666 adapter. As you have 'internal' wiring capability (connector above VGA is VGA too, simply different connector format, better suited for internal wiring) you can connect it directly, using the cable which came with your unit.
