Re: Best approach, LCD on ARM7

Depending on your need for peripherals you could also consider the
AT91SAM9261
which has an internal LCD controller optimized for 320 x 240.
The standard peripherals are more or less the same but it
lacks Ethernet, ADC and CAN of course.

Actually I have been thinking alot about this controller as well. But I
need the ethernet controller. And I have a feeling that the online
community
for this chip is smaller than for the ARM7 parts. Also I have done no
investgation into SW tools and RT-kernel and such.

I have no experience in using Linux for such a device and I think that
buying a module from someone else will not be an option for us.


You do not need to use Linux for the device.
A lot of the code from the U.Boot boot monitor can be used.
This supports the DM9000E Ethernet controller present on the SAM9261EK.
Later this year, you can get the SAM9263 with built in Ethernet and LCD
control.


So for now, I think we'll stick with the AT91SAm7X256 (When will the 512K
version be out??)


Somewhere later this year.

Henrik
