How would one create a DPI LCD interface?

Hey guys,

I would like to interface a small RGB24 LCD on the H3 GPIO, similar to this on raspberry pi : 

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/dpi/README.md

Is this feature already present on armbian device tree overlay? 

If no, how would one make it? Could someone help drawing the big picture so I know where to start?

 

After having a look at this section : https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner_overlays/

I understand that it would require writing a dt overlay (.dts file) to attribute the different functions to the GPIOs. But then how to write the functions?

I am quite familiar with the LCD datasheet and RGB pins function, the part that is still mistery for me is the driver writing: what file format? what programming language? where to drop the file?

 

Thanks!

Pierre

All display interfaces require hardware support (well, except for SPI which is relatively low speed and is not a specialized display interface). H3 supports only HDMI and CVBS display outputs so it's impossible to connect a parallel RGB display without using a HDMI to RGB converter, or using a board based on a different SoC.
