   Sometimes I wonder what the heck kind of display even uses MIPI DSI instead of like ePD.

     @linear Yeah that's also what I'd think but then the connectors look very different from what you see on your typical devboard.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me in my embedded software engineering career i only ever saw a single eDP display and it was in the laptop they gave me to do the job. every single device i worked on used MIPI DSI. all of them.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me yep. there is no connector standard. the connectors should be considered bespoke for each individual panel/device family
     
     i had to explain this to project managers and clients more times than i would've liked

     @linear Well not too surprising to be honest, having seen how wild LVDS / FPD-Link connectors are.

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me they'd have hardware engineers who already made a bunch of test boards and were having us quote it, and send us hardware, and i'd find out that they just picked whatever connector someone on the internet (or their SoC vendor) said was "MIPI DSI", and they'd also send us the screen they'd already placed a bulk quantity order on
     
     and i'd have to let them down gently on the fact that they were going to have to produce a new hardware rev before i could even start trying to make things work
