=== Installation on Compute Module based devices. | ||

All Raspberry Pi SBCs auto-detect the official Touch Displays as the circuitry connecting it to the DSI connector is fixed; this autodetection ensures the correct Device Tree entries are passed to the kernel. However, Compute Modules are intended for industrial applications where the integrator can use any and all GPIOs and interfaces for whatever purposes they require. Autodetection is therefore not feasible, and hence is disabled on Compute Module devices. This means that the Device Tree fragments required to set up the display need to be loaded via some other mechanism, which can be either with a dtoverlay entry in config.txt as described above, via a custom base DT file, or if present, a HAT EEPROM. |

IMHO "All Raspberry Pi SBCs auto-detect the official Touch Displays as the circuitry connecting it to the DSI connector is fixed;" makes it sound like it's the circuitry between the Touch Display and the DSI connector which is fixed? Which is obviously also true for the CMs 😉
Perhaps "All Raspberry Pi SBCs auto-detect the official Touch Displays as the circuitry connected to the DSI connector on the Raspberry Pi board is fixed;" ?
There was missing information on the dt runes needed to get TD2 up and running on CM devices.
