ok, I get it. :)
I see I've made the mistake for referring to the general eoma standards when I was asking about a particular one - eoma-86!
68
so in summary small screens that are eoma-86
68
compatible are only low res ones.
yes, meaning that a low-cost device based on an EOMA68 CPU card would actually *be* low-cost, by virtue of not needing:
a) an ultra-expensive screen b) an ultra-expensive converter chip (e.g. MIPI to RGB/TTL)
for larger screens ($20 to $25 for a 7in 1024x600 or $25 to $30 for a 10in 1280x800) these are typically LVDS and we may add $1 for an SN75LVDS83b RGB/TTL-to-LVDS converter IC without too much fuss.
by the time you get to Dual LVDS these are quite expensive relatively speaking as well and the cost of RGB/TTL-to-Dual-LVDS converter ICs again may be absorbed.
I guess eoma-cf would be higher end?
yes. i think there, specifying MIPI or eDP is probably a good idea because the kinds of CPUs that will go in such a small package are those in embedded mobile space anyway.
