DPI screen datasheet

Sun Feb 11, 2018 7:29 pm

I'm trying to drive an LCD using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins with the DPI Kippah. I've been following the Adafruit tutorial https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dpi ... ah-ttl-tft. I looked at the data sheet for the example screen, and it has different pinouts than the screen I have http://www.datasheetspdf.com/pdf/788923 ... 6TN53-V1/1. Will I have to modify the DPI device tree blob, or is this something that can only be solved through physical wiring?

Also, how do I generate the dpi_output_format hex value? There is some information here https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /README.md, but I don't understand where the "magic number" comes from.

you will need an adapter PCB - converting Kippah pinout to your Innolux Display pinout.
Better opt for designing your 'own Kippah' for this module (as effort needed for both options is the same)

I was afraid of that.

Any idea about the dpi_output_format hex value?
