Display controller library
Display controller library
The XMOS display controller library provides the service of removing the real-time constraint of maintaining the LCDs line buffer from the application and provides a managed frame buffering service. It does this by using an SDRAM as a storage for the frame buffers.
Features
- Asynchronous non-blocking interface for modifying frame buffers,
- User configurable number of frame buffers.
Components
- Display controller
