Good Morning
I ask if the SDI output of the Raspberry module is electrically compatible with Ti SN65DSI84

Thanks

What SDI output?

If you mean the DSI, then it's not documented anywhere and is currently only compatible with the (maybe soon to be released) Raspberry Pi display.

I was very disappointed to discover it's a proprietary display port. My 3.5" LCD connects via GPIO which is extremly slow, around 16Hz. That's nowhere near good enough for full motion video. So I guess I have to wait for the official screen like everyone else.

The Banana Pi M2 has an industry standard LVDS connector though. I've got a screen from a broken laptop that should work just fine with it. ;)

It is a DSI port which is a standard.
The issue is that it is controlled by the GPU firmware, and that is closed source.

You can run a DPI display on a B+ or Pi2 easily enough - have a look at http://blog.reasonablycorrect.com/raw-dpi-raspberry-pi/ or https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dpi ... ah-ttl-tft. It does use up almost all the GPIOs though.
