PHY for LCDs with 8080 bus

Open suarezvictor opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

With some glue I wrote for cores from others I was able to show the LiteX boot console on a LCD with a 8080 bus. Since it doesn't need changes to the LiteX API for video handling (it's just a new PHY), it could be mainstreamed with low effort.

Nice @suarezvictor, I'll have a closer look. If it's only a Video PHY, it would indeed be very useful to integrate it. Do you want to do a PR? Even if you don't have time to polish it, I could have a look at it once integrated.

Yes, just a PHY that glues to a existing LCD controller, in the code you can see how I just call add_video_terminal I'm afraid I have no time to prepare the PRs, I'm publishing that in the hope that someone else can contribute
