You are right, the terasic code is not easy to understand since there are no documentation, but the code is quite good and is already tested, so you should start from this code. If you just need to display an image in sdram using the terasic reference design, you must use the DE2_Control_Panel.exe to load that image in sdram, maybe you may need the ImgConv.exe to adapt the image format. I don't know if you want to work with a Nios processor. In that case you must use a SOPC Library component for the LCM, which is not available. So, you must create it, but it will take you a long time. You can start reading the following documents so you can have a basic idea of what is required. http://www.altera.com/literature/man...valon_spec.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/man...valon_spec.pdf) http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii5v4.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii5v4.pdf) Regards rbviera
