Hi Forum,

I am using CrossWorks, LPC2888 and Nohau LPC2800 board
with SSD1338 LCD
(128x128). I tried to setup the clock for the LCD and
then send the
LCD-specific commands to initialize it, and then fill
it with red, but the
LCD remains black, or not turned on.

After the lcd_init() I write red color using the
data_out() in a cycle
(128x128times). This cycle finishes, so the LCD is
somehow processing the
data, because otherwise the LCD FIFO (which I test
using this LCDSTAT) would
be full and the data_out() would never return.

Regarding the LCD specific commands - I took them from
Application Note to
that specific SSD1228, so I thought it should be OK.

Anybody has an idea what am I missing here? Or anybody
has sample LCD
initialization code for LPC288x, for whatever type of
LCD?

Thanks and regards,
Jan Vanek

#define LCD_MSUB 0x10
#define LCD_MADD 0x70

void lcd_init()
{
SYSFDCR1 &= ~SYSFDCR1_FDRUN;
SYSFDCR1 = (LCD_MSUB << SYSFDCR1_MSUB_BIT) |
(LCD_MADD <<
SYSFDCR1_MADD_BIT) | SYSFDCR0_FDSTRCH |
SYSFDCR0_FDRES;
SYSFDCR1 &= ~SYSFDCR0_FDRES;
SYSFDCR1 |= SYSFDCR1_FDRUN;
LCDESR1 = LCDESR1_ESR_EN | (1 <<
LCDESR1_ESR_SEL_BIT);
LCDESR0 = 0;

comm_out(0xAE); // Display off
// more LCD commands
comm_out(0xAF); // Display on
}

void comm_out(unsigned char data)
{
unsigned int status = (LCDSTAT >> 5) & 0x1F;
while (status >= 0x0E)
status = (LCDSTAT >> 5) & 0x1F;
LCDIBYTE = data;
}

void data_out(unsigned char data)
{
unsigned int status = (LCDSTAT >> 5) & 0x1F;
while (status >= 0x0E)
status = (LCDSTAT >> 5) & 0x1F;
LCDDBYTE = data;
}

If you use the the NOHAU board, I remember that there is
a CD coming with the board. Inside, BlinkyLCD project
has the basic LCD driver.

Hello Group following on from Jan

Driving ssd1338 via an 8 bit enabled-bus
Nothing I do brings it to life :-)

( I have a bin file without the source, that validates the screen
hardware actually runs...and it does )

I'm stumped
Does anyone have a driver for LCD ssd1338, or even a hint at what I
am doing wrong ?
Please :-)

Driver posted below which might be of 'some' use to anyone fighting
the same problems with ssd1338 LCD

Hi Group

OK well
In the absence of anything else, I would like to try:

Turning the digital voltage on and off and see if that helps to
resurrect my LCD

Ref manual for the ss1338:

it says

VDD: Pin 6 ( Digital voltage power supply )

Would anyone have any idea what the command for that might be ?
Cannot find it in any of the samples I have

( All I can find in an example for another similar screen is:
comm_out2(0xAD); //Internal DC-DC off
comm_out2(0x8A); // Second byte

and no explanation of how to turn it back on again )

Best regards
Jim
