emWin driver GUIDRV_SSD1926

Supported hardware

Controllers

The driver works with the following display controllers:

  • Solomon SSD1926

Bits per pixel

Currently supported color depth is 8. The display controller supports up to 32 bits per pixel. The driver can be extended
on demand if support for an other color depth is required.

Interfaces

The driver supports the 16 bit indirect interface.

Display data RAM organization

The picture above shows the relation between the display memory and the SEG and COM lines of the display.

Additional RAM-requirement

This display driver may be used with or without a display data cache, containing a complete copy of the LCD data RAM.
If a cache is not used, there are no additional RAM requirements. It is recommended to use this driver with a data
cache for faster LCD-access. The amount of memory used by the cache may be calculated as follows:

Size of RAM (in bytes) = LCD_XSIZE * LCD_YSIZE

Additional driver functions

None.

Additional run-time configuration

The table below shows the available run-time configuration routines of this driver:

Routine Explanation
GUIDRV_SSD1926_Config Passes a pointer to a CONFIG_SSD1926 structure to the driver.
GUIDRV_SSD1926_SetBus16 Tells the driver to use the 16 bit indirect interface and passes
pointer to a GUI_PORT_API structure to the driver..

 GUIDRV_SSD1926_Config()

Description

Passes a pointer to a CONFIG_SSD1926 structure to the driver.

Prototype

void GUIDRV_SSD1926_Config(GUI_DEVICE * pDevice, CONFIG_SSD1926 * pConfig);

Parameter Description
pDevice Pointer to the driver device.
pConfig Pointer to a CONFIG_SSD1926 structure described below.

 Elements of CONFIG_SSD1926

Data type Element Description
int FirstSEG First segment address to be used in the data RAM of the display controller.
The value can be determined experimentally or taken from
the display documentation. The value is normally 0.
int FirstCOM First common address to be used in the data RAM of the display controller.
The value can be determined experimentally or taken from
the display documentation. The value is normally 0.
int UseCache Enables or disables use of a data cache. Should be set to 1 for
enabling and to 0 for disabling.

 

GUIDRV_SSD1926_SetBus16()

Description

Tells the driver to use the 16 bit indirect interface and passes a pointer to a GUI_PORT_API structure to the driver
containing function pointers to the hardware routiens to be used.

Prototype

void GUIDRV_SSD1926_SetBus16(GUI_DEVICE * pDevice, GUI_PORT_API * pHW_API);

Parameter Description
pDevice Pointer to the driver device.
pHW_API Pointer to a GUI_PORT_API structure explained below.

Elements of GUI_PORT_API

Data type Element Description
 void (*) (U16 Data) pfWrite16_A0 Pointer to a function which writes one word to the controller with C/D line low.
 void (*) (U16 Data) pfWrite16_A1 Pointer to a function which writes one word to the controller with C/D line high.
 void (*) (U16 *pData, int NumItems) pfWriteM16_A0 Pointer to a function which writes multiple word to the controller with C/D line low.
 void (*) (U16 *pData, int NumItems) pfWriteM16_A1 Pointer to a function which writes multiple word to the controller with C/D line high.
 U16 (*) (void) pfRead16_A1 Pointer to a function which reads one word from the controller with C/D line high.

Configuration Example

#define XSIZE 320L
#define YSIZE 240L
GUI_PORT_API _PortAPI;
void LCD_X_Config(void) {
  GUI_DEVICE * pDevice_0;
  CONFIG_SSD1926 Config_0 = {0};
  //
  // Set display driver and color conversion
  //
  pDevice_0 = GUI_DEVICE_CreateAndLink(GUIDRV_SSD1926_8, GUICC_8666, 0, 0);
  //
  // Common display driver configuration
  //
  LCD_SetSizeEx (0, XSIZE, YSIZE);
  LCD_SetVSizeEx(0, XSIZE, YSIZE);
  //
  // Set driver specific configuration items
  //
  Config_0.UseCache = 1;
  //
  // Set hardware access routines
  //
  _PortAPI.pfWrite16_A0 = LCD_X_8080_16_Write00_16;
  _PortAPI.pfWrite16_A1 = LCD_X_8080_16_Write01_16;
  _PortAPI.pfWriteM16_A0 = LCD_X_8080_16_WriteM00_16;
  _PortAPI.pfWriteM16_A1 = LCD_X_8080_16_WriteM01_16;
  _PortAPI.pfRead16_A1 = LCD_X_8080_16_Read01_16;
  GUIDRV_SSD1926_SetBus16(pDevice, &_PortAPI);
  //
  // Pass configuration structure to driver
  //
  GUIDRV_SSD1926_Config(pDevice, &Config_0);
