3.4.4 MIPI DSI® Display Interface

The MIPI DSI host controller is a digital core that implements all protocol functions defined in the MIPI DSI Specification. The DSI host provides an interface between the LCD Controller (LCDC) and the MIPI D-PHY, allowing communication with a DSI-compliant display.

The display serial Interface (DSI) sends data to a compliant display. A D-PHY configured as a host (TX) acts as the physical layer.

On the SAMA7D65 Curiosity Pro, the MIPI display is connected to the 34-pin FPC connector (J54).

Four headers (J55, J56, J57, J58) are arranged in a rectangular pattern on the PCB layout. These headers act as "pillars" for mounting a standard display onto the board.
