TM4C129XNCZAD - LCD Controller

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C129XNCZAD

I am trying to figure out how to interface the TM4C129XNCZAD with a 5" capacitive touchscreen. I thought this would be easy due to the tivaware example library, but the demo board screen interface library (kentec320x240x16_ssd2119.c) is a lot more complex than I thought it would be. I have no idea how to convert/adjust it to meet the demands and specifications of another screen. I was hoping to be able to use a touchscreen from Fannal (model FN050NA-01G-L18E), but I am much more interested in choosing a screen that will allow me to get this project up and running faster as I am under tight time constraints. I looked into getting the Kentec K350QVG-V2-F  TFT display that the launchpad uses so that I don't have to configure another screen, but the screen is in way too high of demand for what I am willing to pay for it. 

Is there any of you that have used a particular screen that you really liked and wouldn't mind sharing the configuration firmware to interface the screen with the TM4C129XNCZAD's LCD controller? If not, any help and/or advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated! 

The specifications for the Fannal FN050NA-01G-L18E are summarized below. This first screen shot is for the LCD display and the second is for the screens touch panel controller. I would post the datasheets, but I can't figure out how to attach pdf's with this post. let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

     This way I can suggest you buy and study MicroElektronica TIVA dev kit, it is slight more expensive than TI DK-TM4C129 but is a complete kit ready to use with both memory and controllerless  LCD on board.

     Hi Marshall, don't worry about, this is enough as present and is greatly appreciated than receiving bad word. Also save our Amit from flood of silly request and enjoy us, my best wish can be a professional forum split away from beginners. (if you wish you can add me as friend but don't ask me where is button, I suppose new forum request came from Avatar)

     I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy new year too.
