6.5 LCD_TR 40pin connector
The pins used for LCD display connection are led out to a separate 40pin connecter for ease. We
have tested the ability of the board to interact with such a display. These pins also allow the user to
attach additional hardware, check readings or perform hardware debug.
Important: it is a good idea to use A13-SOM-WIFI that provides a 0.1 step connector. Alternatively
the connector can be used standalone but you would need to either use wires or male-male
connector and two different 40PIN ribbon cables to connect an Olimex display and the LCD_CON.
Please note that the smallest display (4.3'', 480×272) is not suitable for the official Android images
we provide, however it can be used with Debian Linux.
The biggest display (15.6'', 1366×768 or 1920×1080) is not supported by the A13-SOM design. The
core processor lacks the required computing power for a smooth operation.
