Thank you for the tip...however those examples are for 5x7 dot char displays...I'm needing to use a color graphics lcd to show a message ("hello world") perhaps using italics with a nice order.

Is this readily supported by the MAX10?

Altera has something called the design store that has example design examples that utilize the LCD and push button interface with MAX10.

Look up "LCD"... the most basic one is "Hello World LCD" for the MAX10 Dev Kit, and there is an ACD/LCD Controller Example design for the MAX 10 Eval Kit and Dev Kit - this one has a more interactive menu with the push button and LCD.

Do you plan on using the touch LCD itself as a control?
