I am currently working on a project using the STM32F401RE Nucleo board interfaced with a 3.5-inch TFT SPI display (ILI9488 driver). I am facing an issue where the display does not show any output, even though the backlight turns on and the code uploads successfully without errors.
I have already checked the SPI connections, power supply, and display initialization code, but the screen still remains blank. I would like to kindly request your guidance or any reference materials/libraries that can help me correctly configure and test the display with STM32CubeIDE.
If possible, I would appreciate help with:
Correct SPI configuration for ILI9488
Required GPIO pin mapping (DC, RESET, CS, etc.)
A working example code or initialization sequence
Any known issues or recommended libraries for STM32F4 + ILI9488
Your support will greatly help me continue my project. Thank you

The SPI settings...i can tell you later, at home.
But first: i found, some waiting time after release reset line to TFT is needed; so try with hal_delay(50) , before sending anything to the ILI .

SI setting...is for ILI9344, so check: same (or not) for 9488 ...

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your response. As requested, I am sharing the configuration details used in my STM32F401RE setup with the 3.5” SPI TFT Display (ILI9488). PIN CONFIGURATION
VCC - 3.3V , GND - GND , TFT_CS - PA4 (A2), TFT_DC - PA2 (D1), TFT_RST - PA1 (A1), TFT_SCK- PA5(D13)
, TFT_MOSI - PA7 (D11), TFT_MISO - PA46(D12), LED - 3.3V
BELOW I ADD SCREENSHOT OF MY IOC
