Help with choosing a processor

Jean van Nieker

Hi all.

I am looking for a processor that is able to interface with a Himax:HX8238-A LCD display driver. The processor needs to handle the timing and sequencing between the processor and the display driver without me having to hard code the sequence and the timers. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Regards, Jean van Niekerk

    Jean,

    The HX8238 looks like it can handle standard RGB parallel data with syncs, so it should be OK to connect to any of the DaVinci devices, OMAP devices or DM3xx/DM2xx devices.

    I am not sure what you mean by "without having to hard code the sequence and the timers"? On all devices it is necessary to configure the output hardware to send the correct data and timings, but this is very simple and the existing drivers are simple to modify to any new required timings. It is just a case of setting about 8 registers, depending on the processor.

    The HX8238 may require some additional side channel configuration through I2C or SPI, but this again should be simple initialization code.

    Kind regards,

    Steve
