TFT LCD - initialization / configuration - how to?

vaclav_sal

I am working on interfacing my Bs2e with TFT LCD display.
I scanned thru the Himax data sheet for HX8347 controller. However complex it is pretty straight forward .
I noticed some precautions on power up.

Now I am wandering if there is a procedure / flow chart available, even generic one , which would describe initialization / configuration process.

Something similar to Hitachi HD4470 LCD “standard” - select data bus width, select character size, clear the display etc.

Being greenhorn it this technology I do not know any other controller part # to look for this information.

Any help will be as always appreciated.
Thanks

I'll take a look at the code.
I can already see that BS2e will be challeged. Hopefully the smoke will stay trapped inside.

It looks like this controller itself is pretty flexible as far as interface goes.
The TFT LCD documentation shows hardware access only to some of the multitude of controller pins
(16 bit data bus and SPI etc.) , however , after reading the controller specification I still do not know how to determine ( using software?) which configuration I can use.
I suppose I need to wait for the display to arrive and than find out how to access the configuration bus.
