I sorry for the quantity of questions, this is something i look to get into. Was it simple to get the screen to display the boot information? I am going to get one of these and my end goal is a custom board with the PSP screen( yeah, i saw it too. Go Sparkfun!) with the matching touch screen, an ethernet, 128MB ram, and a CMOS camera.
I have all the steps documented but it isn't complicated. The boot information on the screen are only kernel configurations. I can send you a detailed information of the menuconfig used on the video.
Forgot to mention, did you use the standard LCD controller? In the AVR32AP7000 datasheet, the ethernet controllers are multiplexed with the LCD controller lines. How did you avoid that problem?
Yes I did. Are you sure about the ethernet issue? I mainly use information from avr32linux and avrfreaks wiki. I just check the avrfreaks wiki site again and there is fresh new information about LCD connection. Go and get it. Nice work Berniwa!
@linitrofe I just looked back - there is a funny thing. Since the big devices in the AP7000 have alternate pins it works. The MAC1B ethernet lines occupy the default LCD lines. Since the upper 16 bits of the data bus aren't used - those are where the alternate connections to the LCD are. If you use 32 bit ram/flash you loose the 2nd ethernet and for most applications thats just fine.
I think I made a mistake, the LCD on the video is the T-51750GD065J-FW-ADN

How much did it cost you? Digikey has it listed for $320.

I think that is the cost. It was supplied by the customer. A much better option is the PSP LCD or any alibaba LCD.

I think the more valuable question would be WHERE DID YOU GET THE AWESOME LCD PANEL!!!!!!!!!
linuxrobotdude 2 years ago
I got it from RS (Radio Spares) but I look for it right now and at the US it is out of stock and at UK it isn't listed anymore :s

Nice. Can you tell me the make and model of the LCD?

Hi!, do you have a some info about how do you create the linux BSP, do you have a web page?
Thx.
