Mastering Microcontroller: STM32-LTDC, LCD-TFT, LVGL (MCU3)

Mastering Microcontroller: STM32-LTDC, LCD-TFT, LVGL (MCU3)

In this course, you learn the embedded graphics systems and programming part of it along with using  LVGL  for creating UI applications.

In the first part of the course, you will learn,

1. Basics of embedded graphics systems

2. how to interface an LCD-TFT display to the microcontroller board.

3. How to use the LTDC  peripheral of the STM32 microcontroller,

4. How to communicate between the microcontroller and the TFT display using MIPI DPI and MIPI DBI

5. Bare metal programming

In this part you are going to write all the code, completely from scratch, that is using register-level programming.

In  the second part, you will learn,

1. Introduction to  LVGL ( an open-source graphics library for microcontrollers)

2. Using LVGL in STM32 projects

3. LVGL widgets and their usage, APIs

4. Create UI application using LVGL

5. Testing LVGL application on PC simulator and different STM32 development boards

6. Student project

In this course I will show you how you can create an embedded graphics application for 3 different boards simultaneously

you can either use the STM32F429 Discovery board or STM32F74x Discovery board or you can use any STM32 board with external TFT LCD interfaced via the SPI interface.

Please read the course description carefully and you may also watch free preview videos before enrolling in this course.

Hardware requirements:

If you want to test the code developed for target hardware, you would need any one of the below-mentioned board

For more information please watch the preview videos above.

1. 32F429IDISCOVERY Discovery kit with STM32F429ZI MCU  (Explained in the course)

or

2. 32F746GDISCOVERY Discovery kit (STM32F746NG MCU)   (Explained in the course)

or

3. STM32F7508-DK Discovery kit with STM32F750N8 MCU

or

4. STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit with STM32F407VG MCU + External ILI9341 TFT-LCD interfaced via SPI  (Explained in the course)

or

5. Any stm32 board + External ILI9341 TFT-LCD interfaced via SPI

6. USB logic analyzer (Optional )

7. Jumper wires if you are using hardware option 4 or 5

Note: LVGL applications can be tested on a PC simulator without the need for any target hardware.

Software requirements:

STM32CUBEIDE
