Honored ContributorAre there any TFT LCD libraries or IP available?
Hi,
I'm new to fpgas and I'm at the point where I want a (little) bigger project. I would like to connect a display to my BeMicro MAX10 board but I don't want to use a character based LCD. I've used those with PIC18... before. I was wondering if there is any (free or not too expensive) TFT LCD ip since the only display ip I can see in the quartus ii is for a 16x2 character base display. I'll appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks2 Replies

Consider using a SPI based display. No need for a special FPGA core then. There are plenty on eBay and Amazon. You would probably need a SPI voltage level shifter like https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009.
