Display bridges hardware components

Applicable for STM32MP13x lines, STM32MP15x lines

1 Article purpose[edit source]

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.

2 Software frameworks[edit source]

OP-TEE Linux STM32Cube

3 Analog Devices adv7533[edit source]

The adv7533 DSI to HDMI transmitter supports the HDMI® Specification on a wide range of mobile products.

For details and the datasheet please contact the adv7533 HDMI transmitter provider.

The adv7533 transmitter does not support DSI burst mode. Check the pixel clock constraints in non-burst mode.

The adapter board B-LCDAD-HDMI1 [1] is based on adv7533. It is compatible with the STM32MP157 evaluation boards and can be plugged in place of the display.

Info white.png Information
Due to I2C address conflict, to use B-LCDAD-HDMI1 on STM32MP157 evaluation boards it's required to disconnect the camera module and remove the camera from the devicetree.
Info white.png Information
The display connector of STM32MP157 evaluation boards does not provides audio signals; the B-LCDAD-HDMI1 will only convert DSI video signals.
