Hi all. I'd like to incorporate this LCD into my project: http://www.mcu-turkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/3.2pi-ssd1289.pdf but I'm not sure it's possible to drive it with the LTDC. The display doesn't have VSYNC or HSYNC lines, it uses a simple 16-bit RGB565 interface along with WR(clock), CS, and RS. Before I start doing any in depth research and designing a circuit board, I'd like to know if it's possible to use the LTDC for a display like this. I'm also not sure what the LCD_DE line on the LTDC does.

Ok, I've created a circuit board with the MCU and LCD and I've successfully bit-banged the protocol to test if it works. Now I need help with the LTDC code. Here is what I have so far

#define LCD_WIDTH 240
#define LCD_HEIGHT 320
#define HFP 16//?????
#define HSYNC 98
#define HBP 48
#define VFP 10
#define VSYNC 2
#define VBP 33
#define ACTIVE_W (HSYNC + LCD_WIDTH + HBP - 1)
#define ACTIVE_H (VSYNC + LCD_HEIGHT + VBP - 1)
#define TOTAL_WIDTH (HSYNC + HBP + LCD_WIDTH + HFP - 1)
#define TOTAL_HEIGHT (VSYNC + VBP + LCD_HEIGHT + VFP - 1)
/* Pixel width in bytes */
#define PIXELWIDTH 2

TFTLCD_Init();

}
void
gpio_conf(GPIO_TypeDef * GPIO, uint8_t pin, uint8_t mode, uint8_t type, uint8_t speed, uint8_t pullup, uint8_t af)

}

uint8_t i = 0;
/* GPIO pin configuration */
while
(GPIOInitTable[i] != 0){

((RCC->CR & RCC_CR_PLLSAIRDY) == 0);
/* enable clock for LTDC */

/* Synchronization Size Configuration */
LTDC->SSCR = ((HSYNC - 1) << 16) | (VSYNC - 1);

LTDC->BPCR = ((HBP - 1) << 16) | (VBP - 1);
/* Active Width Configuration */
LTDC->AWCR = (ACTIVE_W << 16) | (ACTIVE_H);
/* Total Width Configuration */
LTDC->TWCR = (TOTAL_WIDTH << 16) | (TOTAL_HEIGHT);
/* Window Horizontal Position Configuration */
LTDC_Layer1->WHPCR = HBP | ((HBP + LCD_WIDTH - 1) << 16);
/* Window Vertical Position Configuration */
LTDC_Layer1->WVPCR = VBP | ((VBP + LCD_HEIGHT - 1) << 16);
/* Pixel Format Configuration */
LTDC_Layer1->PFCR = 2;
/* Color Frame Buffer Address */
LTDC_Layer1->CFBAR = SDRAM_BANK_ADDR;
/* Color Frame Buffer Length */
LTDC_Layer1->CFBLR = ((LCD_WIDTH * PIXELWIDTH) << 16) | ((LCD_WIDTH * PIXELWIDTH) + 3);
/* Enable Layer */
LTDC_Layer1->CR = LTDC_LxCR_LEN;
/* Immediate Reload */
LTDC->SRCR = LTDC_SRCR_IMR;
LTDC->GCR = LTDC_GCR_PCPOL; 
// /WR is active low
/* Enable LTDC */
LTDC->GCR |= LTDC_GCR_LTDCEN;
}

As this LCD doesn't take HSYNC and VSYNC signals, it has no specs for VFP, VBP, HFP etc. so I don't know what to set these to. Currently I just get a black screen after the LTCD init function instead of the image data that's in the SDRAM and the pixel clock (/WR) is pulsing continuously, whereas I need it to stop every 76800 pulses so I can reset the cursor to (0, 0).

Hi,

The SSD1289 LCD is supported by STemWin since 5.18 version. You have just need to configure the LCDConf file (by adding the basic write/read operation) and call the right controller in LCD_X_Config (for SSDD1289: GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_F66702)

Keep us informed about your finding.

Regards,

Heisenberg.
