Hello,
I am currently working on interfacing an OV7670 camera with an STM32F429 using DCMI + DMA, and displaying the captured image on an ILI9341 LCD (SPI interface).
I have successfully confirmed that the LCD itself works correctly (for example, filling the screen with a solid red color).
However, no camera image is displayed, so I suspect there may be an issue with the camera operation or the DCMI configuration.
I am using the following repository as a reference:
https://github.com/PHANzgz/STM32-H7-camera-interface-and-display
Since this project is originally for STM32H7, I have modified the configuration as much as possible to make it suitable for STM32F429.
At this point, I would like to ask whether there are any STM32F4-specific considerations, missing settings, or common pitfalls when using OV7670 with DCMI + DMA.
Any advice or working references for OV7670 + STM32F429 would be greatly appreciated.
Ths is my code.
