In between of these you will see a small green connector board, which is our own 7-inch LCD Breakout board with the required switch-mode power supply for powering the LED backlight, together with the interface connector with the 18-bit color signals, Pixel Clock, Data Enable and PWM.

Where the TDEH and TDE are definitions as found in the datasheet. In the top of our VHDL code all these timing definitions has been programmed as constants:

In this section, we will try to add a new peripheral to the PL region of the Zynq and make connections between PS and PL for the ARM core to be able to control that peripheral. A TFT controller is a peripheral that allows you to connect your FPGA board to the LCD monitor and display graphics on the monitor if you wish to. This is not essential and can"t be tested using a remote FPGA.

From the input/output requirements of the TFT controller which resides in PL region, how do we configure the Zynq to allow the ARM processor in PS region to be able to communicate with it(1)? In addition, the TFT controller also needs to read/write the DDR which is available in PS region, what can we do to provide those accesses for the TFT controller (2)?

Double click the TFT controller block to configure it to use VGA interface. The Default TFT Base Address is the frame buffer address which should reside in DDR. You can choose any valid address inside DDR region. The address should be aligned to 2 MB boundary (why?), and a good suggestion for the base address is 0x1FE00000. Take note of this address as we need to use it later in the C code for ARM core. Click OK to save the changes.

You can now see that the M_AXI_GP0 port from the Zynq7 Processing System is not connected directly to the S_AXI_MM port of TFT controller. It is instead connected to the S00_AXI port of the AXI Interconnect(processing_system7_0_axi_periph) then S_AXI_MM port of the TFT controller is connected to the M00_AXI port of TFT controller. The reason for adding AXI interconnect is that we can multiplex multiple peripherals under the same AXI master port from PS.

Similiar is the case of the M_AXI_MM port of the TFT controller. This interface connects to the DDR controller of the PS through S_AXI_GP0, through which the TFT peripheral is able to access the display buffer.

After that, we have to connect the 25 MHz clock generated by the Zynq7 Processing System to the TFT controller. Move the mouse near the FCLK_CLK1 of Zynq7 PS until you see the pencil symbol, click and connect to the sys_tft_clk of TFT controller.

In the Address Editor tab, expand axi_tft0 > Excluded Address Segments > right click and select Include Segment for the one with Base Name GP0_IOP. Do the same for GP0_M_AXI_GP0. This step might not be necessary in some versions of Vivado.

Expand the VGA_INTFinterface in the TFT block. Right click on the small triangle of the tft_vga_b[5:0] and select Make External. Repeat the step for other ports: tft_vga_r[5:0], tft_vga_g[5:0], tft_hsync, tft_vsync as below picture.

At this point, we have finished designing the system. Before we proceed to the next step, it is a good idea to ensure that the language chosen is VHDL or Verilog, according to your preference.

Now, right click on the Constraints folder (in the Sources tab), select Add Sources to add the constraints for the VGA signals from TFT controller. Select the file

I haven"t used LVDS at all - cheaper and easier to purchase boards for that. And the highest (or is it lowest?) VEE I"ll use is -28V for the dual scan 640x480"s. Driving TFT"s is much easier, just faster. Things start to get hairy when you have to deal with colour tables for CSTN, using FRM where each byte written to the display is RGBRGBRG etc..

This application note describes the interfacing of Ampire AM-800480STMQW-TA1 display to BoraEVB and BoraXEVB. Main characteristics of this 7" TFT LCD panel are:

Ampire AM-800480STMQW-TA1 part integrates resistive touch too. This is directly connected to BoraEVB"s J25 connector. Resistive touch is managed by Texas Instruments TSC2003 controller (U27).

In case of BoraXEVB, no adapter board is needed. LCD panel is directly connected to J26 connector where PL bank 13"s signals implementing LVDS interface are routed (see page 14 of the schematics). I/O voltage of bank 13 is set to 2.5V by configuring JP25 as shown in the following table.

To implement frame buffer, a portion of main SDRAM is used. This area is allocated at runtime by linux frame buffer driver. Even if LCD is 18 bpp, each pixel is represented by 32-bit word in memory. In fact each pixel is in RGB666 format, so for each colour only the six most significant bits of the frame buffer RGB888 are used to drive the display.

(*) This signal is used to control backlight. It is usually driven by a PWM signal whose duty cycle is proportional to backlight intensity. For the sake of simplicity, in this project this signal is driven by a GPIO, thus only two intensity levels are supported (0% and 100%). This is a CMOS 2.5V level signal. Make sure that voltage levels of this signal are compatible with LCD backlight input.

Digital Blocks TFT LCD Controller reference design enables you to accelerate the design-in of TFT LCD panel displays in your system. The reference design centers on the Digital Blocks DB9000AVLN TFT LCD Controller intellectual property (IP) core, which is available in netlist or VHDL/Verilog HDL register transfer level (RTL) formats.

The DB9000AVLN core contains an Avalon® Memory-Mapped system interconnect for interfacing to the Nios® II embedded processor and SDRAM or SRAM controllers (either memory can serve as the frame buffer). Software supplied with this reference design runs on the Nios II embedded processor to place an image in the frame buffer memory and invokes the DB9000AVLN core to drive the LCD panel.

Using the Intel® Quartus® Design Software, you can instantiate the TFT LCD Controller reference design in a Cyclone®, Cyclone® II, or Cyclone® III FPGA development kit. See the Demonstrated Intel® Technology section for a complete list of supported Intel® FPGA development kits.

You can connect your LCD panel to the Intel FPGA development kit with the fabrication of an appropriate cable. Please contact Digital Blocks for more details.

With the development of electronic technology, LCD display gradually becomes the mainstream way of visualization. In the LCD display system, the display controller is one of the core components. In order to reduce the cost and satisfy the demands of different specifications of LCD and different display application requirements, the display controller must be designed to be more configurable and reusable. In this paper, we propose an implementation of the configurable display controller IP core…Expand

EMC tests have been done on the machine that embeds these cards and the results showed that an unacceptable peak (~5dB greater than the limit) occurs at an harmonic of the pixel clock (~60MHz). This peak is generated when the 15 cm length cable is connected to the motherboard (regardless of the connexion of the other board nor the LCD).
