Honored ContributorHi cesimkaol,
I have build a system with the following components: clk_source, Nios II Processor, lcd_character, Pio for led; onchip_memory, jtag_uart and an DDR2. The DDR2 is not neccasary but you have to take a look at your on-chip memory size and the size of your C-Code. You can find an example how to program a LCD from optrex in the following doc DOT MATRIX CHARACTER LCD MODULE USER’S MANUAL from here: www.optrex.com/siteimages/litcentral/dmcman_full.pdf. In that doc is a description about the LCD registers and how to control tham. It help me a lot. Be also aware that you have the right Pin Assignments for your LCD(see right here: www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4610&nojs=1&gsa_pos=4&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=lcd character) If you don´t have it your display make crazy things. I hope this hint will help you.
