1. A test system for calibrating a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the test system comprising:
- a test module comprising;
a test processor electrically coupled to a test computer interface and a peripheral interface, the test processor operative to communicate with the LCD via the peripheral interface according to a high-speed serial interface (HSSI) protocol, and the test processor operative to respond to commands provided by a test computer via the test computer interface via a dock that is electrically coupled to the test processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable apparatus having a storage medium with at least one computer program stored thereon, the at least one computer program configured to, when executed on the test processor;
interface the LCD to the test system; and
calibrate the LCD through an adjustment of at least one parameter setting.

Abstract
Systems and methods for testing a peripheral in accordance with a MIPI protocol are provided. A test system can test a peripheral by providing user-5 specified control over a test processor (which is substantially the same processor the peripheral will interface with when installed) to test, calibrate, or both test and calibrate the peripheral. The test processor can communicate with the peripheral according 10 to the MIPI protocol, thereby effectively providing an actual “in-device” environment for testing and/or calibrating the peripheral.
