Hey guys! Has anyone tested the framework 16 display on the framework 13 motherboard? Do they even have the same connector? (are they both edp, number of pins, backlight voltage/power requirements 1.8v/3.3v)
I’m thinking about a custom linux “tablet” build (without a touchscreen). I already carry a keyboard and mouse with a couple more peripherals everyday so i don’t need the laptop’s keyboard, touchpad, and speakers. The io of the 13 is plenty enough for my use, the lower price is also a plus, but the 16 inch display would be better?
Would i need to change any ACPI tables or something?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the forum
Pinouts are on Framework’s github
Don’t know if anyone has tried it. I haven’t seen anyone post about it at least.
I’ve seen one guy that made the display of a lenovo 720 (i think) work on the 13 with the touch and pen digitizer input pass through the touchpad’s i2c bus. He had to change the ACPI table but it worked
That looks like a ‘no’ as far as compatible pinouts go - the ground pins don’t look like they’re in the same place, so you would need a custom adapter at the very least (and possibly more if the voltages are different)
