| * [[www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds160.pdf|Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA]] - XC6SLX9-3TQG144. Highlights: amateur-friendly TQFP144 package, built-in serdeses rated up to 1080 Mbits/s (fast enough to drive a 4-lane 1080p screen). The FPGA does pretty much everything in this project. | * [[www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/data_sheets/ds160.pdf|Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA]] - XC6SLX9-3TQG144.

| * **DSI Level adapter**: a bunch of resistors interfacing the FPGA's 1.8 V SSTL/LVCMOS I/O to DSI levels. More info on the FPGA core page. | * **DSI Level adapter**: a bunch of resistors interfacing the FPGA's 1.8 V SSTL/LVCMOS I/O to DSI levels. More info on the FPGA core page. |
| * **DSI connector**: a standard 2x15pin 2mm pitch female connector with all DSI signals, power supplies and some GPIO pins for interfacing with the display. Since connector pinouts differ between displays the idea here is to use a tiny adapter board hosting the particular LCD's connector and its wiring. | * **DSI connector**: a standard 2x15pin 2mm pitch female connector with all DSI signals, power supplies and some GPIO pins for interfacing with the display.
