ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

@steved: See what utzig wrote. Exactly my thinking too. What you describe certainly works but there we are already in the 'annoying to use' part. When you handle your repository the way you explained you would be better of with git because git does all that magic and many more things for you just on...

They don't offer subversion, cloudforge does. Because nobody should use it anymore. I am sadly still forced to work with SVN because several customers use it and it is always a pain in the ass, really (excuse my wording). Just the fact that you don't have a local repository is a complete no-go for ...

Just go for BitBucket.org, really. It is by Atlassian which is probably the most professional and serious company in the world. Their support is awesome and they provide a GUI Tool named SourceTree which works very well (Windows and Mac OS-X). I can only agree with utzig, the tools is quite powerful...

That makes totally sense to me.
I guess we are both fine then and everything should work for everybody™

I am currently busy extending the LTDC driver of the uGFX library. As this is a platform specific driver registers are directly accessed within this driver (there is no need for a display controller board file). The LTDC peripheral of the STM32F4x9 and the STM32F7 are sadly just 99.9% compatible. Th...

May I ask how it is working? µGFX (http://ugfx.org) already supports the board but we are currently relying on the STM32Cube HAL.
We would love to create a demo and example project using ChibiOS/RT and ChibiOS/HAL.

Hello JoVM, It is common with these parallel bus interfaces that you have to switch the pin directions. That is why I recommended you to use the ChibiOS/HAL pal grouping feature. You can look at this board file . The thing that made it easy here is that all 16 pins of the LCD data bus are on one por...

Nice work, Giovanni!
Keep it up!

Are you already using the µGFX library? If so this is what you would do at the beginning of the read_data() and write_data() functions in your board file.

The ChibiOS/HAL API allows you to define a bus group. This would allow you to easily change the configs of all the relevant pins.

Sadly uGFX does not yet have a KS0108 driver but there is everything else you need to use your display (including a very detailed tutorial how to set up a project using ChibiOS/RT, uGFX and ChibiStudio). It is fairly easy to add a new driver (for your KS0108) as the interface is well documented and ...
