2.2 Hardware Setup for Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2

  • Connect the display to the host using a compatible MIPI DSI connector. For this setup, a 34-to-15-pin MIPI display connector maps the SAMA7D65’s 34-pin MIPI DSI port to the 15-pin connector of the Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2.
  • Use a USB-C type cable to connect a compatible power source (such as a USB-C wall adapter or a computer USB port) to J3, ensuring the supply meets the SAMA7D65-Curiosity board’s 5V requirement.
  • Connect the 5V and GND pins of the display to the mikroBUS™ 2 5V and GND pins on the SAMA7D65-Curiosity board.
  • Pins 14 and 15 of the 15-pin MIPI DSI connector on the Microchip MIPI display adapter are soldered to a 3.3V rail, connected to the J26 mikroBUS 2 - 3.3V pin of the SAMA7D65-Curiosity board.
Note: Pins 14 and 15 (typically, DSI power-related lines) are not directly powered via the 3.3V rail on the Microchip 15-to-34-pin DSI adapter, as shown below:
