Hi,

A while back I had the idea to turn a Raspberry Pi Zero into a $5
USB to HDMI/SDTV/DSI/DPI display adapter.

The reason for calling it 'Generic' is so anyone can make a USB
display/adapter against this driver, all that's needed is to add a USB
vid:pid.

Well, I'd strongly ask to not call it "generic", because it isn't. We have other USB drivers and anyone can make a USB display with these protocols as well. That doesn't make them generic. A USB-standardized protocol would be generic. Maybe call it custom, or home-made.

Best regards
Thomas


Unfortunately I've had some compounding health problems that have
severally limited the time I can spend in front of a computer. For this
reason I've decided to keep the gadget driver out-of-tree and focus on
getting the host driver merged first.

See the wiki[1] for more information and images for the Raspberry Pi
Zero/4.

One big change this time is that I've followed Peter Stuge's advice to
not let DRM stuff leak into the USB protocol. This has made the protocol
easier to understand just from reading the header file.
