Table 14: MIPI DSI signals
Additional to the high-speed MIPI DSI signals, the Verdin reserves also pins for a dedicated I
2
C, a
PWM, and two GPIOs for the DSI interface. These signals are intended to be used for controlling
an attached display as well as DSI bridges. Some DSI bridges can embed also sound in the
interface (e.g. HDMI). The I2S_2 interface is recommended to be used in combination with the DSI
interface. The following table shows how the additional signals are recommended to be used for
the different use cases. Whenever possible, follow these recommendations in order to be software
compatible with the reference designs.

Reference Schematics
Besides attaching a display directly to the MIPI DSI interface, there are many display adapters
available. The following display adapters are also available as add-on boards for the Verdin
reference designs. Therefore, bridges used on these adapters are supported by the regular BSP for
the Verdin modules.
