ILI9341 Parallel Display Driver for STM32F1

Codacy Badge

This is a fast display driver for interfacing ILI9341 LCD display with STM32F1 microcontroller over an 8bit parallel (8080-II/I) bus. It's mainly written for my personal usage.

Vitasam added support for JYETech DSO138 oscilloscope.

GPIOs are handled by direct register manipulation for faster performance. This driver now configures the used GPIOs, so user need not do it anymore.

This driver needs libopencm3 library. The library is provided with this repository. You may get the latest version of libopencm3 from here, but that may or may not work depending on the changes made in libopencm3 latest version.

In order to be able to program smt32 devices st-flash is needed.

Download

Download this repository using git:

Benchmarks

Screen fill speed is tested in crazy_fast. This is not a proper "benchmark", rather a code to satisfy my lust for high fps.

Example

Example code (main.c) is in example directory. To compile using the provided Makefile, keep the directory structure as it is. If you change the directory structure, edit the SRCS, INCLS, and LIBS in the Makefile accordingly. Example is compiled and tested on STM32F103 (overclocked to 128MHz). Note: To compile for DSO138, comment out CFLAGS += -DUSER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM and uncomment CFLAGS += -DDSO138_PLATFORM in the Makefile.

Making Fonts

To know how to make more fonts as per your need, check my fonts_embedded repository.

TO DO

  • Add example code(s) and write some docs
  • Write better comments
  • Explain how to create fonts
  • Optimize driver for speed and size. Speed is the first priority (improved speed)
