[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] daveshah:
As someone with an interest in embedded development (also happen to be using the Z5P 4k LCD in another project, but that's another story) and about to receive an XZP, I thought it would be interesting to extract and decompile the device tree from the now downloadable XZP firmware. I've put it online as a Github gist (spaces added because I'm not allowed to post links yet :() :

Of particular interest for me and I suspect others is the LCD. I've put the config for the LCD only below (with the big calibration tables removed for clarity and to avoid the post length limit) :

A few things to note, although may only be of interest to geeks like me...

- Despite all of the marketing info, as far as I can tell it's still running 8bpc/24bpp, not any kind of 10 bit colour. I think HDR is more a case of a brighter backlight and software filtering rather than anything else.

- Based on the panel setup commands I suspect it uses the same driver chip (NT35950) as the Z5P panel

- Both the Z5P and this panel use compression to fit 4k video in the bandwidth available (not used in 1080p mode). The former uses Qualcomm's proprietary FBC, the latter uses the newer VESA DSC. I think this may lead to slightly better quality in 4k mode, although the difference would probably never be visible.

The device tree only gives limited information about the camera, most of the camera configuration is done in a shared library (libcammw.so) which I'm also investigating. It would certainly be nice if you could tweak it to trade off framerate/resolution/record time like a pro HS camera.
