Enable DSI Display

This guide shows you how to enable a display connected to the DSI port.

Connecting a display to the DSI port is easy, just follow these steps:

Connecting the Official Raspberry Pi 7-inch Display

  1. Power off the xCore and disconnect it from its power source.
  2. Connect the official 7-inch display to the DISP port on the xCore board.
  3. Power up the board.
  4. Edit the /boot/firmware/config.txt file and add the following line:
    dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch
  5. Reboot the system:
    sudo reboot

After rebooting, the display should be detected automatically and begin showing output. The touch function should be working as expected.
