5. EDT ETML0700Z9NDHA (LVDS)[edit | edit source]

The EDT ETML0700Z9NDHA is a LVDS panel.

For details and the datasheet please contact the ETML0700Z9NDHA panel provider.

Info white.png Information
This panel can be found on some STM32MP257F EV1 Evaluation boards and in the B-LVDS7-WSVGA STM32 accessory.

5.1. Linux driver[edit | edit source]

Bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/lvds.yaml

Sources: drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-lvds.c

Devicetree example: arch/arm64/boot/dts/st/stm32mp257f-ev1.dts

5.2. U-Boot driver[edit | edit source]

There is no software driver dedicated to this LVDS panel. This panel configuration is directly described in the Device tree and the related LVDS internal peripheral software driver is in charge of loading it.

Sources: drivers/video/stm32/stm32_lvds.c (Related LVDS internal peripheral software driver)

6. Raspberry Pi 7" Touch (MIPI® DSI)[edit | edit source]

The Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Display is an integrated module including:

  • a DSI to DPI bridge Toshiba TC358762;
  • a DPI panel 800x480 7 inches with touchscreen;
  • a power controller;
  • a touchscreen controller.

For details and datasheet please contact the display provider [1].

The display can be plugged in the DSI connector CN4 of the board STM32MP157F-DK2 through the ribbon cable provided with the display.

Warning white.png Warning
An incorrect connection could damage either the display and/or the board.

Pay attention that the connector CN4 is wider than the ribbon cable; the proper connection requires the pin 1 of the ribbon cable to be plugged at the pin 1 of CN4. This requires the ribbon cable to touch only the edge of the connector CN4 that is closer to the ethernet plug, thus having empty space between the ribbon cable and the other edge of the connector CN4.

Two additional wires for 5V supply and GND are required between STM32MP157F-DK2 board and the display. Don't use a USB cable to power the display from the board because the board's USB plugs would be enabled too late for the display to operate. Use instead two of the spare wires provided with the display and connect:

  • STM32MP157F-DK2 connector CN2 pin 2 to display connector GPIO pin 5V;
  • STM32MP157F-DK2 connector CN2 pin 6 to display connector GPIO pin GND.
