NUCLEO-C5A3ZG (Nucleo-144) Display and CAN Expansion Boards

[RobotDev]

I am trying to find a compatible display for the C5A3ZG board.  The user manual suggests it is compatible with the X-NUCLEO-GFX01Mx series displays, but that data sheets for those boards do not list the C5AZG as compatible.  The C5AZG is a Nucleo-144 board which offers the X-NUCLEO-GFX02Z1 display for 144 boards but C5AZG is also not listed as compatible.

Is there a recommended expansion display board for the C5A3ZG?

Additionally, is there an expansion board that offers a CAN interface for the C5AZG?

Hello ​@RobotDev and welcome to the ST community,

X-NUCLEO-GFX01Mx are only compatible with NUCLEO-64 boards while X-NUCLEO-GFX02Z are only compatible with NUCLEO-144.

For CAN, you need either to add an external CAN transceiver (to my knowledge no such expansion board offered by ST) or simply solder a CAN transceiver on the board. Not soldered by default:

Thanks for the quick response ​@mƎALLEm.  So does this mean that the X-NUCLEO-GFX02Z will work with the C5A3ZG, which is a NUCLEO-144 board even though the data sheet for the GFX02Z does not list the C5A3ZG as compatible?

Hello,

To me there is nothing preventing using NUCLEO-C5A3ZG with X-NUCLEO-GFX02Z. Need to confirm by checking the schematics.

But what is sure is that RVA15MD display extension board (by Riverdi) is supported by NUCLEO-C5A3ZG:

Proof: with TouchGFX designer tool when you select NUCLEO-C5A3ZG as a target board, you see this:

Hope that answers your question.

Oh wow… thank you!  I did not realize I could use the GFX tools to see what’s supported.  I don't have the development board yet, but I will install the software right away.  Again, thanks for the help.

OK if you find my previous post answerd your question, don’t hesitate to mark it as Best Answer.

Thank you.

It looks like those boards have SPI displays?

If that’s suitable for your requirements, it should be easy to connect any SPI display to the SPI pins available on any Nucleo (or other) board ?

yes if the extension board is not directly pluggable on the board in that case he needs to use wiring. But I think he’s looking for a directly pluggable extension board.
