The Quectel Pi M2 smart main control board provides two display interfaces: HDMI and MIPI DSI. The appropriate display solution can be selected according to different application requirements.

Among them:

  • The HDMI interface supports external HDMI display devices, provides synchronized audio and video output, and supports hot plugging.

  • The MIPI DSI interface is used to connect MIPI LCD displays. It is suitable for fixed display scenarios such as embedded devices and industrial control applications, and does not support hot plugging.

The locations of the display interfaces are shown in the figures below:
