STM32F469 development board to output MIPI video to a custom screen (GC9503CV), and the screen shows tearing

[Lewis233]

I am using the STM32F469 development board to output MIPI video to a custom screen (GC9503CV), and the screen shows tearing.

The left side of the screen displays normally, while the right side shows a jagged appearance. How should I locate and resolve the issue?

Hello @Lewis233 ,

We would need more info about your project configuration to help you.

Have you started your project from the STM32F469i-disco TBS on TouchGFX Designer?
What strategy have you selected for your video decoding (direct to framebuffer? single? double?)
What's your screen resolution? what about the video?
What's you framebuffer format? 
Is your video located in external QSPI Flash?

Hello @Lewis233 ,

Could you please provide your answers to the questions from my previous message?

1. I modified the STM32F469i-Disco TBS and used TouchGFX Designer.
2. LTDC with single buffer and one data lane; DSI video also in single-lane mode.
3. Screen resolution is 480 × 800; video mode is DSI_VID_MODE_BURST.
4. Single framebuffer, RGB565 format.
5. The display uses the MIPI protocol; only UI widgets are running—no video module is present.
