I just wanna asked for a little bit of help,
I have to make a lcd for a project I'm doing at university. The panel I find is either a display that is drivable via spi and is 7inch but it consume a lot of current and the project nead to be low power.
So I find this display from displaytech:
http://www.displaytech-us.com/7-inch-ips-tft and I can drive it using LVDS.
No I wanna use a new pic3mz2048 for doing this job and if needed a small fpga/cpld.
Now reading the datasheet of the source driver of the panel I found out that the panel can be controlled either with lvds or with MIPI interface, by swapping resistors.
Now If I use a mipi interface I found that I can use this controller SSD2828, that is controlled via spi and the data is send with an rgb interface.
So If I chose the second method, I need an external memory for storing the frame buffer, so in my code i will write that memory and then at the end of each frame i will send the memory data to the controller.
In that case i better to use an fpga to menage the memory (and generate hsync and vsync) or I can do that with the pic32? Is the pic32 fast enough?
Dispate the second method, how the data is send with LVDS? is there any controller avaible for LVDS? Because I can't figured how the data is send using lvds.
Thanks for the help, Alberto Vaudagna
