Aria 10 LCD I2C address

Hi,

The manual says that the default address is 0x50, but what would the address for the internal register be?
Does it go by this?

Could you tell me what I am doing wrong with this sending sequence?

Screen is on but nothing gets displayed.

Thanks,

Yong

Hi,

So we are going off of this sending sequence:
start -> address -> r/w -> ack -> display on -> ack -> clear screen -> ack -> cursor home -> ack -> H -> ack -> and so on...-> ack
-> stop

but our lcd is still not responding. It seems like it's communicating to the address but nothing is displayed.

here is the code:

module HelloWorld (
input wire clk, // Controller clock
input wire rstn, // Controller active low reset
inout wire sda_pin_io, // I2C SDA Pin
output scl_pin_o // I2C SCL Pin
);

reg [7:0] address_n_data_i; // address to write into
wire [7:0] rd_data_o; //wont need if uncommented above
wire [2:0] req_status_o; //wont need if uncommented above
wire io_sda_w;
assign sda_pin_io = io_sda_w;
reg [15:0] count;
wire command_i;
reg strb_i;
reg rst_ni;
reg [7:0] words [0:52];

initial begin
words[0] = 8'hFE; //
words[1] = 8'h41; // display on, needs 100uS
words[2] = 8'hFE; //
words[3] = 8'h51; // clear screen, needs 1.5ms
words[4] = 8'hFE;
words[5] = 8'h46; // set cursor to home, needs 1.5ms
words[6] = 8'h48; // H takes 3ms
words[7] = 8'h65; // e
words[8] = 8'h6c; // l
words[9] = 8'h6c; // l
words[10] = 8'h6f; // o
words[11] = 8'h20; // space
words[12] = 8'h57; // W
words[13] = 8'h6f; // o
words[14] = 8'h72; // r
words[15] = 8'h6c; // l
words[16] = 8'h64; // d
words[17] = 8'h21; // !
words[18] = 8'h20; // space
end

i2c_master lcd(
.address_n_data_i(address_n_data_i), // Address and Data
.command_i(command_i), // Command indicate read/write)
.strb_i(strb_i), // Qualifier which will Latch inputs
.clk_i(clk), // Controller clock
.rst_ni(rst_ni), // Controller active low reset
.sda_pin_io(io_sda_w), // I2C SDA Pin*
.scl_pin_o(scl_pin_o), // I2C SCL Pin
.rd_data_o(rd_data_o), // Output data on reads
.req_status_o(req_status_o)
);

parameter [17:0] max_count = 177; //15+(18*9)
always @(negedge clk)
begin
if(rstn ==0)
begin
count <= 0;
rst_ni <= 0;
end
else
begin
count <= (count == max_count)? max_count : count +1;
rst_ni <= 1;
end
end

assign command_i = 0;
always@(*)
begin
if (count == 0 || count == max_count) strb_i = 0;
if (count == 4) begin address_n_data_i = 8'h28; strb_i = 1; end
if (count > 14 && (count%9 == 6))
//case(count%9)
address_n_data_i = words[(count/9) -1];//8'b1011_1000; // function set
//endcase
end
endmodule

Could you point out what we are doing wrong? I've also attached the i2c_master.v we are using along with the top.v and the clk_divder.v...
wave forms onTB seem okay, but nothing is displayed when .sof is run on the aria x board

Thanks,

Yong

Hi,

LCD is still not responding, I think there may be something wrong with our i2c master.
Is there an i2c ip that we could utilize to further investigate our design?

Thank you,

Yong
