Re: Best approach, LCD on ARM7

I'm interested to know what people suggest for the HW side of things -
we're looking at adding a LCD to a Atmel SAM7 chip without an external
address bus and, so far, haven't come up with any good ideas. There
don't seem to be any 320x240 SPI based controllers around - one
suggestion was to put it in a FPGA and write some logic to convert
between SPI & an "address bus" based FGPGA video controller.

Have you looked at the Epson 1374 series ?. Has onboard framebuffer ram
and a bus interface that can be coerced onto most micros...
