LVDS

Description

SBCX provides two LVDS interfaces, LVDS0 and LVDS1. AURA SOM supports one LVDS channel on J8 Hirose (cod. DF13A-20DP-1.25V) double row 1.25mm pitch miniature crimping connector.

Device mapping

LVDS is mapped to LVDS-1 DRM "connector": see DESK-MX9-L LVDS peripheral.

Power sequence

Most of the LCD panels have many supplies and need a specific timing to power the rails and start the signals.

The Evaluation Kit provides GPIO controlled power rails that can be leveraged both at bootloader and kernel level to meet any specifications.

The following sections describe the available rails:

3V3_LCD

The most common voltage to supply the LCD panel internal rail 3V3_LCD0 is enabled by GPIO1_IO10

5V_LCD

The most common voltage to supply the LCD panel backlight rail 5V_LCD0 is enabled by GPIO2_IO24

Device usage

The associated framebuffer device is accessed in Linux through the standard graphic access.
