Hi, my apologies in advance for the newbie question.

I have to port LCD sample program to 746VG(LQFP100) from 746NG-DISCO(BGA216).

F746VG supposed to have a TFT-LCD controller, but I can't find LCD_R0/B1/B4 funtion on 746VG.

How can I port these pin number?

The external memory and LCD interfaces are pin hogs. The parts share a common die packaged in a multitude of form-factors. Low pin count devices cannot escape all functionality. The device Data Sheet should make it sufficiently apparent about what pins do or don't escape the package, and what AF (alternate function) multiplexors are associated with specific pins and functionality.

It would not surprise me that a 100-pin device is incapable of providing fully functionality to the LCD, and some subset, or altered palette, might be required. You have a better chance with the 144-pin variants.

I am sorry that my reply to you is delayed. Data connection error had occurred when click reply from my PC lately.

I decided to use 144pin package for current project and the redesign is ongoing.

Thanks for your commentary.
