WaRP7 Displays

Does the Element14 Store (newark.com, etc.) sell any MIPI displays that are compatible with WaRP7? If not, will any WaRP7-compatible display become available there and when? Will any MIPI display work with the WaRP7?

Thank you in advance for answering any of these questions.

We are working to secure the LCD modules.
Will update once available on newark.com.

Another month has passed and there still is no committed date yet for selling any WaRP7-compatible displays by Element14.
Could anyone please provide the brand and model number of the display shown on page 7 and 8 in the user guide?
https://github.com/WaRP7/WaRP7-User-Guide/

Alternatively, could someone please provide a link to any circle-shaped compatible displays, accepting the MIPI DSI connector on the WaRP 7?

Thanks in advance.

Funny. Almost a year after my previous post, I can finally answer my own question. (My WaRP7 has been sitting in a drawer all this time since it's pretty much useless without a display.)

After I got a Google alert about "WaRP7" today, I've found out you can buy a display here: https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-87448/l/warp7-lcd-module#overview

Hi,

The official LCD is now supported with the meta-warp7-distro (see https://github.com/WaRP7/meta-warp7-distro/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-warp7/imx7s-warp/0001-WIP-add-LCD.patc… )

Feel free to contact me for more details

Hi Pierre
I used your patch, but there is a problem.
Everytime, when I boot up, text on console screen will display at different position.
Ex: some time it display in center or bottom or too left.

I think it is problem of margin or screen resolution but it didn't.
Is there any lines that you think it will affect display of screen ?
