Although any MCU with a LTDC controller would do, I'd recommend the STM32H743 in a package of at least 144 pins (176 if using a 32 bit SDRAM module)

You need the external SDRAM (8 MBytes/64 MBits would do) to hold the framebuffer memory, the internal one is barely enough for displaying simple graphics with a reduced color set, and I'm afraid that the fragmented internal memory map might not play well with touchgfx. Consider adding an external flash module as well if you want to display a lot of graphics. You can use the schematics of the STM32H745I-Discovery board as a reference design.

Thank you so much, so if i want to go for sure i can use one of the discovery boards as reference design

in my device i would like to have OTA firmware update and been able to generate unique serial number.

is that any MCU have this in one package ?

for serial generation i assume OTP would do it.

You'll have to write the firmware, but the F4, H7 series have 96-bit UNIQUE ID values, check Reference Manuals

yeah but as i see 96-bit UNIQUE ID values pretty difficult to convert/shrink it to actual digestible serial number.

OTP wouldn't it be better ?
