primeview tft lcd

Started by Frank van Eijkelenburg March 17, 2006
We want to use the primeview tft lcd (PW045XS1). I looked at the datasheet, but it is very summerary. Does anyone know where I can get more 
information or perhaps example code of how to use this lcd. I have to make my own display controller in vhdl, but example code in C would be also 
helpfull.

TIA,
Frank

They don't want to sell 100, they want to sell 100000. So they write a data sheet that leaves a lot out. When you contact them for the missing stuff, they send a sales engineer round who takes a look at you, and decides if you are worth supporting. If they decide no, you're on your own. If you look like a big buyer, the next thing they want will be the names, addresses and golf clubs of the MD and the financial director. Paul Burke
