Could you guys recommend me the mcu? ---------- Post added at 12:08 ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 ---------- Is it that we just need 5 pins of signal (Red, Green, Blue, H-SYNC, V-SYNC) from mcu to drive the VGA display?

YOu might consider; Microchip PIC 16F84 VGA Output Atmel AVR VGA Text mode Output Atmel AVR graphics VGA output with SDRAM Atmel AVR and ISA VGA card Lattice MachXO CPLD/FPGA VGA generator µVGA.com VGA http://www.microvga.com/ But I recommend you figure out how to advance order next Strawberry Pi, thats very popular but sold out.

Click to expand... I don't have an idea. Could you recommend me the most common and simple one? I just want to display some text and some graph or chart.

It would be easier to say get a $25 Raspberry Pi board. 1st learn how VGA interface works and understand it, test it and scope it.
