MIPI DSI transmitter IP is used to connect to up to two displays using the MIPI DSI-1 protocol. It supports video and command displays and can work in dual-display mode. Up to 4x 1.5Gbps D-PHY data lanes are supported. DPI and DBI are fully supported. DSI link can be switched from one mode to another (command to video or vice-versa) without resetting the IP. The behavior of this block is controlled via registers programmed using an APB interface (AMBA 3 compliant).
