LVDS display EDID i2c required?

[dluberger]

I'm having a custom display fabricated that I want to be compatible with the imx6sx sabresd LVDS display connection. I notice there is a separate EDID I2C pair apart from the touchscreen I2C interface lines. 

Is the EDID data connection required? I will already know my display resolution ahead of time, so I have no need for annunciation of display capabilities.  Will this work?  Additionally, if EDID is required, can I simply use the touchscreen I2C bus since the EDID and touchscreen controller will be at different addresses? I am otherwise maintaining the exact same pinout as the LVDS connector on the imx6sx sabresd board.

Hi David

I believe you are right, i2c may be used for touchscreen or setting

some additional lcd parameters.

Thanks for the response. Can you tell me though whether EDID i2c connection is required for an LVDS display to work on the imx6sx sabresd board?

in general it is not required, for this specific lcd may be recommended to check its datasheet.

As I said, this is a custom LCD. What I'm asking is whether the processor LVDS display peripheral requires the EDID connection. In other words, if I plug in an LVDS display with no EDID data line, will it work?

no. i.MX6 LDB module does not require EDID.
