problem regarding eve2 display.

[madhusudan.jadhav]

Hi,
I am using infineon make xmc4500 realx kit with eve2-70A display. I have written the program. I take reference of one arduno based project using eve2 display. but display isnot getting. even i saw datasheet and programmed xmc4500  but no display is coming. i need help. the program is developed in infineon dave software.
please help i am newbee.

Hello,

Can you provide a SPI trace of communication from your MCU to the EVE IC?

We have some application notes geared towards writing a libraries for MCUs. The first covers how the low level transfers are structured between and MCU (in this example a PIC) and the EVE IC. The second covers how to create an EVE Library to interface to the MCU. And finally the last one covers some EVE examples for PIC MCUs:

http://brtchip.com/wp-content/uploads/Support/Documentation/Application_Notes/ICs/EVE/BRT_AN_014_FT81X_Simple_PIC_Library_Examples.pdf

The principals described in these Applications Notes can be used to implement solutions for a wide variety of MCUs.

Hi,
Where do you enable back light of the LCD? May be LCD is working but because of back light is off you can not see the screen.

[BRT Community]

Hello,

REG_PWM_HZ and REG_PWM_DUTY are the registers used to control the backlight.

Please see section 4.5 of the datasheet:

Hi there
I have used AN-008 program and done with infineon xmc4500. power light comes(red). but display doesnot go on. also if i read from memory then cpu halts there.
After host command of wake up and clkext I tried to read reg_id but the value 0×7c never come. The read is always 0×00.
Also I am not using interrupt.

Hello,


Just to double check are you following the initialization sequence as described in section 2.3 of the datasheet?

Yes, I have written the initialization sequence using xmc code  with format given in data sheet. But I am unable to read the memory.  I have tried arduino code and AN-008 code also. The host command I have written by hex code for testing. but couldnt get readings. Is there any way of checking to read memory?

Hello,

Can you provide a SPI capture of your code execution to the EVE IC?

After sending the host command 'ACTIVE' (0x00,0x00,0x00) the chip will respond to further commands with (0x00, 0x4A, 0x43, 0x42).

If you're not seeing that, you've probably got a problem with your SPI port.

Hi,
Sorry for late
Atlast I manage to read the Reg_ID as 0x7c. I optimized the delay after ACTIVE command. But The reading was changing if I changed the delay time after Active command from 1 sec to 5 sec. now delay is 3.563 sec. Should this happen?
I am trying to read reset memory 302020h. but reading 12 is coming.

Hello,

There should be a min. 300ms delay followed by checks of the REG_ID and REG_CPURESET before you can expect FT81x to be ready.

Code Select Expand


    MCU_PDlow();                                                                // PD low                                                               
    MCU_Delay_20ms();
    MCU_PDhigh();                                                               // PD high
    MCU_Delay_20ms();

    Set ext clock here if required
    MCU_Delay_20ms();

    EVE_CmdWrite(FT81x_ACTIVE, 0x00);                                           // Sends 00 00 00 to wake FT8xx
   
    MCU_Delay_500ms();                                                          // 500ms delay (EVE requires at least 300ms here))
       
    // --------------- Check that FT81x ready and SPI comms OK -----------------
   
    while (EVE_MemRead8(REG_ID) != 0x7C)                                        // Read REG_ID register until reads 0x7C
    {
    }
     
    while (EVE_MemRead8(REG_CPURESET) != 0x00)                                  // Ensure CPUreset register reads 0 and so FT81x is ready   
    {
    }


Now continue to set display registers, load bitmaps/fonts etc.

HI,
The same code I have applied.
As I am using Matrix orbital EVE2-70A TPR module
I did the following wiring
1) pin no.1 3.3v, pin no.16 3.3v, pin no.17,18 all are shorted to 3.3 v from mcu board.
2) Pin no.2 GND, Pin no. 15 GND, Pin no. 19,20 all are shorted to GND from mcu board
3) int pin is shorted to GND of mcu board through 4.7 kohm.
is this connection is correct?

The init in my library starts a little different:

Code Select Expand


EVE_pdn_set();
DELAY_MS(6); /* minimum time for power-down is 5ms */
EVE_pdn_clear();
DELAY_MS(21); /* minimum time to allow from rising PD_N to first access is 20ms */

#if defined (EVE_HAS_CRYSTAL)
EVE_cmdWrite(EVE_CLKEXT,0); /* setup FT8xx for external clock */
#else
EVE_cmdWrite(EVE_CLKINT,0); /* setup FT8xx for internal clock */
#endif

#if defined (BT81X_ENABLE)
EVE_cmdWrite(EVE_CLKSEL,0x46); /* set clock to 72 MHz */
#endif

EVE_cmdWrite(EVE_ACTIVE,0); /* start FT8xx */

chipid = EVE_memRead8(REG_ID); /* Read ID register */
while(chipid != 0x7C) /* if chipid is not 0x7c, continue to read it until it is, FT81x may need a moment for it's power on selftest */
{
chipid = EVE_memRead8(REG_ID);
DELAY_MS(1);
timeout++;
if(timeout > 400)
{
return 0;
}
}


This does not only work faster than a fixed delay, it also works with no display attached.

Hello,

You would need to clarify with Matrix Orbital if these connections are correct.
