Using adafruit ra8875 driver chip with TI hercules TMS570ls3317

Dino David

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS3137, HALCOGEN

I bought ra8875 driver chip along with tft display. The driver chip has SPI connectivity through which it can drive the display. But unfortunately I cannot find the libraries or example project to start using it. The libraries provided by adafruit is for arduino boards. Could anyone please direct me steps to start with so that I can start porting the existing libraries to TI hercules TMS570LS3137.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dino,

Hopefully the library for the adafruit board has SPI functions broken out separately (like open, close, transmit, recieve and the like).
If so you should be able to map these to the HalCoGen SPI functions. You can find examples for using SPI with HalCoGen in the HalCoGen examples folder, and in the online help under examples.

Also, you should check out Martin Valencia's page es-es.facebook.com/.../
He has some amazing looking graphics with the Hercules product.
