I think I made a mistake, the LCD on the video is the T-51750GD065J-FW-ADN

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.

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

[linitrofe]

@acf2802 Please check the correct LCD information on the recent posts.

I sent you my email (youtube message)

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

[linuxrobotdude]

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

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

[linitrofe]

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!
