Board Bringup: LCD and Display Interfaces - ELCE 2011

Board Bringup: LCD and Display Interfaces

Board bringup is one of the most under documented aspects of embedded development. This presentation will look at the various display technologies such as DisplayPort, DVI, LVDS, and other LCD interfacing methods with emphasis on how to bringup, debug, and validate them on new hardware. Using a case study, aspects such as interfacing timing, extended display identification data(EDID), and backlight controls will be discussed. Most embedded linux developers at some point in their career will be handed a piece of hardware that is untested. LCD bringup is one of the most challenging assignments for an embedded developer. This presentation intends to provide some core tools and methods for bringup of a new display interface. David Anders has previously presented at Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2010 with ""Board Bringup: Methods and Utilities"" and Embedded Linux Conference 2011 with "Board Bringup: Open Source Hardware and Software Tools".
