Unable to get ILI9320 display driver working on STM32F

Postby uweng14 » Fri Jul 19, 2013 3:13 am

Hello,

I am trying to connect the HY28A LCD module, which uses the ILI9320 display driver, to the STM32F discovery board.
However, I cannot get the LCD to draw anything.

I have verified that the SPI pins are sending signals by probing them.

My main.cs and board file are posted below.
Any advice on how to get the display running is appreciated.

main.c

Code: Select all


#include "ch.h"
#include "hal.h"
#include "gfx.h"




/*
 * Application entry point.
 */
int main(void) {


  /*
   * System initializations.
   * - HAL initialization, this also initializes the configured device drivers
   *   and performs the board-specific initializations.
   * - Kernel initialization, the main() function becomes a thread and the
   *   RTOS is active.
   */
  halInit();
  chSysInit();

 coord_t      width, height;
   coord_t      i, j;

    /* Initialize and clear the display */
    gfxInit();

    /*
     sdStart(&SD2, NULL);
     palSetPadMode(GPIOA, 2, PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(7));
     palSetPadMode(GPIOA, 3, PAL_MODE_ALTERNATE(7));
     */
   
    // Get the screen size
    width = gdispGetWidth();
    height = gdispGetHeight();

    // Code Here
    gdispDrawBox(10, 10, width/2, height/2, Yellow);
    gdispFillArea(width/2, height/2, width/2-10, height/2-10, Blue);
    gdispDrawLine(5, 30, width-50, height-40, Red);
   
    for(i = 5, j = 0; i < width && j < height; i += 7, j += i/20)
       gdispDrawPixel (i, j, Blue);
       
    while(TRUE) {
     
       gfxSleepMilliseconds(1000);
    }   
 
}

Hello David,
  • In setpin_reset() in the gdisp_lld_board.h you flipped the both states. If state is set to true, the reset pin is supposed to be high, otherwise low. A proper documentation on this will follow shorty. The entire board file stuff is about to change in a few days to a more reliable solution.
  • Some people have reported problems that their MCU was toggling the pins to fast so the LCD controller couldn't properly detect the signals when they were using the PAL_STM32_OSPEED_HIGHEST macro.
  • Some poeple have reported problems that some e-bay distributors seem to mix up the ILI9320 and the ILI9325 driver. Please give the other one a try.
  • Usually you get some initialization code along with the display from your distributor. Try to replace it with the initialization code in the gdisp_lld_init() routine inside the gdisp_lld.c file.
  • Note that the CS pin is usually toggled using the spiSelect() and spiUnselect() calls.
  • Can you please post your gfxconf.h if all the steps above did not work.

Edit: Which STM32 discovery board are you using?

I hope that helps.

Hello David,

As you can read here, you cannot post on this forum any longer. I search you to open a thread in the new forum. I am sorry for this trouble but it's a mandatory step.
