BL808D development material

YafeiJin

Not yet. BL808C is able to drive RGB panel to 800x480.

Squonk42

Yes, but I am interested into the MIPI DSi video output

Squonk42 More time to wait...

Squonk42

But is there an available SDK and available chips?

lupyuen

Hi Squonk42 some parts of the BL808 SDK have just been released on GitHub, I added the links here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Ox64

Squonk42

lupyuen OK, thanks! But when there will be BL808D chips available? Is there any kind of developer program to enter to get access to chips?

lupyuen

Squonk42 Pine64 will be selling their Ox64 BL808 Board next month: https://www.pine64.org/2022/10/15/october-update-an-ox-no-bull/

Squonk42

lupyuen Yes, but it is a BL808C, not a BL808D. Is there any way to buy chip samples?

Squonk42 Temporarily not available for sale.

Squonk42

Ok, thank you for your answer!
Please let us know when both chips will be available for sale and how.

I want the BL808D as well.

Squonk42

jerry49 That's a BL808C, not a BL808D, I already own this board.

Question about M1s Dock - how many pins has the FPC connector for LCD at the bottom?
I just received one bare board.

robert

That seems like a question for Sipeed, not Bouffalo.

My read of https://dl.sipeed.com/shareURL/MAIX/M1s/M1s_Dock/2_Schematic says it's a 26 pin connector.

Off topic: Is @Squonk42 also a Genesis fan?

Deous

robert Thanks for answer but I found specs on Sipeed site - it is actually 18pin FPC 0.5 connector

Hello, I am very interested in the BL808D as well and would really like if the BL808 chips were available at LCSC or other components resellers

Deous

Squonk42 I'm not quite sure what is the difference between BL808C and BL808D
Could you explain? thanks

rcmz

Deous BL808D has MIPI DSI, a popular interface for high resolution internal displays. The BL808C does not. I don't know about other differences.

Deous

rcmz I have a question - does BL808C support 8-bit DBI interface for parallel data transfer?
I'm not sure if it still supports limited DPI/RGB interface

BL808C is on M1S Dock board which I tried with Bouffalolab SDK but no luck getting DBI to work
Some dev tried to do some stuff in sdk with NT display but looks like not for that chip or it is unfinished
Without that DBI support the chip is not very attractive
Thanks
