Introduction

Due to updates in the Raspberry Pi system version, the official MIPI DSI clock frequency has changed, causing some older versions of OSOYOO DSI 5 Inch Display (v1.1/v2.0/v2.1) to malfunction on newer Raspberry Pi systems (primarily manifesting as color distortion). Here, we will specify the compatible system ranges for older screen models.

We have designed and launched new 5-inch DSI products that are compatible with nearly all official Raspberry Pi systems.

How to install the appropriate Raspberry Pi system?

Please note again: Older screen models(OSOYOO DSI 5 Inch Display v1.1/v2.0/v2.1)) only support Raspberry Pi OS kernel versions prior to 6.6.y!
