Thanks for stepping into :)

I've read this also, and we are working in nonburst mode with sync pulses. I have no access to an MIPI-DSI analyzer therefore I can't verify it.

On DSI side you don't have a pixel-clock instead there is bit-clock.

Is it possible to share the key points of the requirements?

It should be absolute no difference if you work on 891MHz with 2 lanes or on 445.5 MHz with 4 lanes. What must be ensured is that you need the minimum required bandwidth which is roughly: 1280*720*24*60 = 1.327 GBps.

There is no such DSI pixel rate to be precise, we only have a DSI bit clock/rate.

This is interesting and would proofs our assumption that the device don't have a FIFO :)
Our assumptions (we don't have the datasheet/programming manual): - HDMI part is fetching 3 bytes per HDMI pixclk - Ratio between dsi-clk and hdmi-pixelclk must be 3 so the DSI and HDMI are in sync. So from bandwidth pov there are no differences between: - HDMI: 74.25 MHz * 24 Bit = 1782.0 MBit/s - DSI: 891 MHz * 2 lanes = 1782.0 MBit/s (dsi-clock: 445.5 ) - DSI: 445.5 MHz * 4 lanes = 1782.0 MBit/s (dsi-clock: 222.75)
But the ratio is different and therefore the faster clocking option let something 'overflow'.
Anyway, but all this means that Adam should configure the burst-clock-rate to 445.5 and set the lanes to 4. But this doesn't work either and now we are back on my initial statement -> the driver needs some attention.
Regards, Marco
