Driver for Raspbery PI5

[53michelangelo]

Hello,

I'm trying to connect a [10.1inch DSI LCD (C)] screen to my Raspberry Pi5
(uname -a Linux raspberrypi 6.1.0-rpi7-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.63-1+rpt1 (2023-11-24) aarch64 GNU/Linux),

but I'm not getting any display output. I've installed the driver version 6.1.63, but the screen remains black. The same screen works with my Raspberry Pi 3 Could you please assist me with this?

After installing the driver, the configuration file is modified as shown above. The lines that are commented out are replaced with the last two lines to resolve the issue.

/boot/config.txt
[all]

ignore_lcd=1
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtoverlay=WS_xinchDSI_Screen,SCREEN_type=8,I2C_bus=4
#dtoverlay=WS_xinchDSI_Touch,I2C_bus=4,invertedx,swappedxy
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,10_1_inch
dtoverlay=WS_xinchDSI_Touch,I2C_bus=4,invertedx,swappedxy

I tried getting this to work, but I still get I2C controller timed out all over dmesg and a blinking LED on the waveshare board. Also not clear at all which DSI connector to be using.
