Display bridges hardware components

Applicable for

STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines, Unknown MPU, Unknown MPU, STM32MP25x lines

---

1. Article purpose

The purpose of this article is to:

• List the display bridge hardware components that might be integrated in the different boards.
• Link these components to the corresponding software framework(s).
• Point to the appropriate component datasheets.
• Explain, when necessary, how to configure these components.

Information

Some of these hardware components are part of the accessories for STM32 boards like the B-LCDAD-HDMI1 for instance.

2. Software frameworks

Domain	Peripheral	Software components			Comment
		OP-TEE	Linux	STM32Cube
Visual	Analog Devices adv7533 & adv7535		DRM/KMS framework		MIPI® DSI to HDMI transmitter
Visual	Silab sil9022		DRM/KMS framework		Parallel RGB (DPI) to HDMI transmitter
Visual	Toshiba tc358762		DRM/KMS framework		MIPI® DSI to Parallel RGB (DPI)
Visual	Analog Devices adv7513		DRM/KMS framework		Parallel RGB (DPI) to HDMI transmitter

3. Analog Devices adv7533 & adv7535

The adv7533 and adv7535 (adv753x) DSI to HDMI transmitter support the HDMI^® Specification on a wide range of mobile products.

For details and the datasheet please contact the adv753x HDMI transmitter provider.

The adv753x transmitter does not support DSI burst mode. Check the pixel clock constraints in non-burst mode.

3.1. adv7533 related boards

Information

The adv7533 HDMI transmitter can be found on the adapter board B-LCDAD-HDMI1. It is compatible with the STM32MP157 evaluation boards and can be plugged in place of the display. But note that: Due to I2C address conflict, to use B-LCDAD-HDMI1 on STM32MP157 evaluation boards it is required to disconnect the camera module and remove the camera from the device tree. The display connector of STM32MP157 evaluation boards does not provide audio signals; the B-LCDAD-HDMI1 will only convert DSI video signals.

3.2. adv7535 related boards

Information

The adv7535 HDMI transmitter can be found on: STM32MP25 Discovery kit

3.3. Linux driver

Bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/adi,adv7533.yaml (for both adv7533 & adv7535)

Sources: drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/

Configuration:

• DRM_I2C_ADV7511
• DRM_I2C_ADV7511_AUDIO
• DRM_I2C_ADV7511_CEC
