I found a LCD with OTA5182A driver in SPI & RGB interface. However its RGB is serial RGB not parallel RGB in STM32F429. Is there a way to allow the LCD controller to work with STM32F429 inside lcd display?

    So it goes back to just a standard interfacing problem:

    The STM32's SPI neither knows nor cares anything about the meaning of the data it transfers - so you can program it to carry whatever data you like!

    The problem is that serial RGB has only 8-bit data line, the parallel has 3*8 data lines. The LCD control will be different. The Discovery board connected 24 data lines from LCD display. And there is no frame buffer (RAM) in serial RGB LCD display.
