Driving TFT LCD Module through microcontroller/ Processor

driving tft lcd

Hi All,

Is it possible to drive TFT LCD module ( say 3.5" display controlled by driver IC like ILI9326, sitronix ST7787 etc. ) with microcontrollelr (16 bit ) or ARM processor directly without using OS based system ie SBC.
I've found a TFT LCD liberary from Ramtex but don't know how useful and easier it will be. Is it easier to use OS based SBC for TFT LCD display ?
If there is any other way, Kindly Inform me.
Thanks

Hello!

The ST7787 has internal RAM, so you can drive a TFT even with a 8-bit processor,
of course as long as you don't need dynamic images. If you want to implement
a text mode display, then you can do it basically with any processor.

The OS has nothing to do with TFT. Use an OS if you need one.

Ad for the library, it depends on what you want to do, but writing a driver
for a TFT is not that difficult and you can do it yourself.

Thanks for the help Dora !

I just need to plot 2D waveforms on the TFT LCD and need to display pulse width, wavelength etc. The reason for choosing OS base board was that I also need printer interface, so I thought it might be easy to work with OS. Again collecting data input through gpio is much slow in OS based board, so I think its better to use a 16/ 32 bit processor.

Hello!

In this case I would go for some kind of ARM because there is a lot of free
soft and I am sure you can find many drivers for printer.

I'm also looking for High speed FIFO 16 K deep with read cycle < write cycle < 3 nS. Can you suggest one. :?
