2.6 Display Serial Interface (MIPI DSI)
The Digital Serial Interface (DSI) is specified by the Mobile Industry Processor Interface Alliance
(MIPI) and is available as "Reserved" interface on the Verdin module specifications. The interface
targets to connect high resolution displays with low energy consumption. The interface is intended
to be used for internal displays with shorter cable length.
The interface consists of a differential pair bit clock and between one and four differential data
signal lanes. While the data lanes 1 to 3 are traveling from the module to the display, the lane 0 is
bidirectional. This lane is capable of a bus turnaround (BTA) for commands. In the low power
mode, the separate clock signal is disabled. The clock is then embedded into the data lanes.
However, image data can only be sent in the high-speed mode which uses also the external clock
signal.
