help with display and camera module for STM32F407VET6

Hi, I'm currently working on a project using the "Black" STM32F407VET6 board, and on the lookout for a good 7" touchscreen display and 5 MP camera choice.

For the display, I'm considering an 800x480 SSD1963 based touchscreen panel that can connect to the LCD connectors on the board.


What exactly should I look for? Reading older posts, I'm aware that the STM32F407VET6 not having a lot of onboard memory is a concern, and displaying a UI with LVGL isn't the only thing I want to do. I plan to use Zephyr OS and there will be some PWM controller code that will have to live alongside the display stuff.

For the camera, I came across this post that links to AN5020 and recommends a 5MP OV5642 based camera. My requirement is also 5MP so I think that would work for me.

Would appreciate any help regarding points I should be considering, reducing memory usage and if this kind of system sounds feasible on this particular platform.

 

Thanks

anyone can make a black board!

Is it one of these:

please give a link to the one you're actually using.

More useful to have the supplier page for the board you actually have.

Does the board documentation not give a specification for the supported LCDs (vain hope) ?
