Hello. I'm trying to configure the otm8009a 800x480 display panel from the stm32mp157f-dk2 dev kit on the Seeed Studio's stm32mp157c-odyssey board.
The issue is that by probing display with modetest -M stm I'm getting:
failed to open device 'stm': No such file or directoryBut with modetest -M simpledrm I'm getting this output:

id size pitchSo display is actually working with simpledrm and I am able to launch weston. But with the bad performance.
What am I doing wrong or missing something?
Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
This is the dts file I have so far: stm32mp157c-odyssey.dts
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sorry. My bad. Didn't pay attention to the last logs I got.
It happens that there are several conflicting DSI pins with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB on this board...
So yeah... Didn't expect that coming... I guess it is the hardware issue after all.
And after I disable these functions DSI shows up:
