Great! Thank you for the information, much appreciated. I'm not sure if the controller needs to be programmed for the display specifically or if a similar converter will work but I'll try to pick up a combo deal such as this to avoid any issues.
Wow very clean! Thank you for this. Do you mind pointing me to where you got the controller board? I assume it's an HDMI to MIPI converter?
For anyone interested, I believe the panel is a 8.8" HannStar IPS (HSD088IPW1-A00).
