BT882/BT883?

[Rudolph]

I received a newsletter from Bridgetek on my work account that indicated that BT882 and BT883 are released, but I can not find any specifics for these.
Am I correct to assume that these are memory reduced variants of FT812 and FT813?
So like BT880 and BT881 but with 24 bit RGB interface?

Or are these BT815/BT816 or even BT817/BT818 with reduced RAM_G?

I very much prefer BT81x over FT81x for mostly three reasons, UTF-8 fonts, external Flash interface and ASTC compressed images.
And it seems like at least having ASTC would be a good idea when the size of RAM_G is reduced to a quarter.

On a slightly related note, do you have a list of display modules that are available for end users from different manufacturers?
I could probably compile such a list, but I am always on the lookout for something new to support with my library.

They are improved variants of the first EVE: FT800/FT801, with the ability to play avi/jpg encoded videos and with the possibility of rotating the screen content; such as FT81x/BT81x series.

Has anyone ever tried to use them with ESD? If I choose BT880, what are the settings to configure for a new project if my mcu is STM32?

Hello,

Has anyone ever tried to use them with ESD? If I choose BT880, what are the settings to configure for a new project if my mcu is STM32?

Could you provide the display resolution that you are trying to use so that I can advise on settings?

It's a 2.8" with 320x240 landscape format. Controller is ILI9341 or ST7789 with 18bits RGB bus.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.

When creating a new project in ESD, you can use the 'New Target' button to create a configuration suitable for your device.

Please select the EVE_GRAPHICS_IDM2040 and EVE_DISPALY_QVGA options for the platform and display options. Please select the most appropriate option for the 'Host Controller' and 'Touch' options. (see New Target.JPG) You will need to refer to the touch controller datasheet to determine which setting is appropriate for your desired touch controller. (see Touc.JPG for the available I2C addresses).
 
Once the new target has been configured and a project has been created you can selected the IDM2040-43A target to support you BT88x IC. (see Toolbar.JPG)
