Hi @Anil_Apaul, which display are you using with the SAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1?
Mainline kernel’s do not support the LCD interface with out external modifications.

thank for reply @RobertCNelson . it’s a touch display. can you provide me complete process to build images(.img) steps .
Hi @Anil_Apaul, is there any other identifiable marks on your LDC display? Did it come in any box with a model number?
mXT640T touchscreen controller is used on many lcd screen’s…

Hi @Anil_Apaul, so the TM5000 should be the pda5… I only have a pda4 lcd which i just tested, but the same procedure should work for you…
Use this Kernel branch:
git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/armv7_devel
cd ./armv7_devel/
git checkout origin/v5.4.x-sama5-armv7 -b tmp
./build_kernel.sh
Next Clone Microchip’s overlay repo:
git clone https://github.com/linux4sam/dt-overlay-at91
cd ./dt-overlay-at91/
export KERNEL_DIR=../armv7_devel/KERNEL/
make sama5d27_som1_ek_dtbos
Install the Kernel and device-tree’s like previously:
BUT before you sync/unmount, you’ll need to apply the overlay on top of the base *.dtb:
fdtoverlay -i /media/boot/dtbs/at91-sama5d27_som1_ek.dtb -o /media/boot/dtbs/at91-sama5d27_som1_ek.dtb ./sama5d27_som1_ek/sama5d27_som1_ek_pda5.dtbo
This command, will take the original “at91-sama5d27_som1_ek.dtb”, apply the “sama5d27_som1_ek_pda5.dtbo” overlay and write back to “at91-sama5d27_som1_ek.dtb”… So only run it once…
sync
sudo umount /media/boot
sudo umount /media/rootfs
