Hi,
I’m working on a camera project and I would like to use the MT9M001 sensor if possible.
My goal is to capture the camera image with STM32 and display it on a small TFT monitor (for example an ILI9341 or similar).
I need a microcontroller board + display combination that:
works well with the MT9M001 (parallel DCMI interface, XCLK 20–24 MHz),
can use DCMI for the camera and an LCD interface (LTDC or SPI/8080 interface) at the same time without pin conflicts,
has existing examples or documentation,
and can be brought up within about two weeks.
This time I’m in a situation where I cannot afford failures or dead ends, so I’m looking for a proven, reliable combination rather than experimenting with uncertain setups.
I first tried the STM32F429I-DISCO1, but the LTDC pins for the onboard LCD conflict with several DCMI pins (PA4, PA6, PC6, etc.), so using its display together with the camera was not possible.
(I'm now continuing to use this board only for “camera → PC display”, but not for LCD output.)
So now I’m looking for a board + display combination where DCMI and LCD can coexist normally.
Could you please recommend:
a suitable STM32 board and external display that work well with MT9M001, or
a reliable way to structure this system?
Any suggestions on a practical, low-risk combination would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
