- TFT Controller + Ethernet
- Posted by pbdelete@spamnuke.ludd.luthdelete.se.invalid on April 23rd, 2006
Anyone seen a lowcost tft controller with ethernet interface ..?
Preferably flat physical layout.

There aren't too many processors that I know with both, integrated LCD
controller and Ethernet MAC, check Cirrus Logic EP93xx ARM9 processors, and
ARM9 processors from Digi International.

The Sharps ARM7s - LH79520, LH79524, LH79525 all do it. They are pretty low
cost <$5 but the Sharp ARM9s also fit the bill and have a bit more grunt if
you want to pay the extra.

Not the LH79520 (in case OP gets confused).

I'm sure you're talking out of your a...<Checks datasheet. Cries in

Only reason I knew is because that is the one we use. Might upgrade to
one of the others, one day.

I use the 79524 and I quite like it. It seems a bit more evolved and
civilised that the '20 but its user guide isn't as good and I think there's
something wrong with the UART on A0 silicon.

Hmm, BGA I see. We have not done BGA yet... then again the 0.4mm pitch
TQFP on the 79520 was a bit of an adventure. Did not help that
*someone* designed the prototype PCB for 0.5mm, by mistake. Ahem. It
is still the single largest cause of production problems so perhaps
BGA would end up easier anyway.

The AP7000 (AVR32 based) has dual Ethernet and LCD control.
(You will lose one of the Ethernet ports if you use the LCD though)
Runs Linux 2.6.14.

So ... what's the story on availability with these parts?
How about STK1000 availability?

Have got an STK1000 since before Easter running Linux 2.6.14.
Main application shown off is "mplayer" running some movie trailers on the
QVGA LCD.
It boots U-Boot from the internal flash, but the file system is on an
SD-Card.
There will be a new batch next week but thats already booked,
many to equip the sales force, but at least some of that will ship to
customers.
Next batch of STK1000 after that is coming end of May.
Samples of the AP7000 are available but max 2 per customer at the moment.
Current plans for production (rev B) is autumn.
The reason for rev B is mainly that the part draws a little too much
current.
The CD contains source code for building U-Boot, the gcc compiler toolsuite
and the Linux.
There is a Cygwin installation which allows building under Windows and some
scripts
which should allow building under Linux.
Only have a prerelease CD, so cannot say what will be on the full release...
If you get one, be careful with the power supply. The polarity of the power
connector
is reverse of that of the STK500.

They're alright until you want to get one off - heat guns, chisels and foul
language required. BGAs are the future but I wouldn't attempt to use one
without good JTAG debug capabilities or I'd work in sufficient quantities
that I could throw away anything that might be at all tricky to diagnose.

Thanks for the information, Ulf. I might just order a
STK1000 to play with.
Well, it's kind of hard to make any plans about using these
parts without knowing when we'll be able to get them in
volume...
Thanks again,

The AVR32 was announced mid Feb 2006.
The AP7000 chip was announced April 3.
Samples are available within a month after the announcement.
Linux 2.6.14 + GCC was available at announcement.
Many customers already have an AVR32 emulator (JTAGICE Mk II)
Development board will be shipped to customers within a month from the
announcement.
There is 4-5 weeks leadtime on the STK1000 right now, but that will
hopefully go down.
At least the AVR32 track record is nice so far.

Samples of the AVR32 became available in less than a month after the
announcement of the chip.
Dev boards will start to ship to customers (in distribution) in less than a
month after announcement.
Runs Linux, has a gcc compiler and a low cost emulator (which many people
already own).
Maybe someone is learning.

If you are looking for 10ku, then autumn should be OK, 100ku, then later.
Then again, I remember reading the book "Pandoras Planet"...
Fleet Admiral of Alien force invading the Earth: "I hear everything is
going according to plans...."
Colonel in the invasion force: "Yes,
unfortunately not according to OUR plans..."
