1 Article purpose

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

Domain	Peripheral	Software components			Comment
		OP-TEE	Linux	STM32Cube
Visual	Analog Devices adv7533		DRM/KMS framework		DSI to HDMI transmitter

3 Analog Devices adv7533

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 is based on adv7533. It is compatible with the STM32MP157 evaluation boards and can be plugged in place of the display.

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.

Information

The display connector of STM32MP157 evaluation boards does not provides audio signals; the B-LCDAD-HDMI1 will only convert DSI video signals.
