| # Synopsys DesignWare MIPI DSI Host Controller |
| |
| ## Target hardware |
| |
| The Synopsys DesignWare MIPI DSI Host Controller IP block is used on the |
| following SoCs: |
| |
| * AMLogic A311D (G12B) - on Khadas VIM3 |
| * AMLogic S905D3 (SM1) - on Nelson |
| * AMLogic T931 (G12B) - on Sherlock |
| * AMLogic S905D2 (G12B) - on Astro |
| |
| ## Hardware Model |
| |
| The DesignWare MIPI DSI Host Controller contains the following I/O interfaces: |
| |
| * An extended MIPI DPI-2 (Display Pixel Interface) to read pixels in video mode. |
| * A MIPI DBI (Display Binary Interface) for command request and response |
| transmission. |
| * A MIPI D-PHY interface that connects to a PHY transmitter to transmit output |
| signals to a display peripheral. |
| |
| The DSI Host Controller takes in requests / pixels from the DBI and DPI |
| interfaces, converts them into packets and sends the encoded packets over the |
| D-PHY. |
