Detailed Description

Driver for the LCD display.

The LCD is a generic display driver for small RGB displays. It communicates with the device either via an

SPI serial interface (if module lcd_spi enabled) or an
MCU 8080 8-/16-bit parallel interface (if module lcd_parallel or module lcd_parallel_16 is enabled).

Usually the device driver is used either for a single display with SPI serial interface or for a display with parallel MCU 8080 8-/16-bit parallel interface. However, the device driver can also be used simultaneously for multiple displays with different interfaces if several of the lcd_spi, lcd_parallel and lcd_parallel_16bit modules are enabled at the same time. In this case, please refer to the notes in lcd_params_t.

The device requires colors to be send in big endian RGB-565 format. The CONFIG_LCD_LE_MODE compile time option can switch this, but only use this when strictly necessary. This option will slow down the driver as it certainly can't use DMA anymore, every short has to be converted before transfer.

Low-level MCU 8080 8-/16-bit parallel interface
The low-level MCU 8080 8-/16-bit parallel interface (low-level parallel interface for short) is used when the LCD device is connected via a parallel interface. Either the GPIO-driven low-level parallel interface provided by this LCD driver or a low-level parallel interface implemented by the MCU, such as the STM32 FMC peripheral, can be used. If the MCU provides its own implementation of the low-level parallel interface, it can be used by implementing the following low-level parallel interface driver functions, enabling the `lcd_parallel_ll_mcu` module and defining the lcd_ll_par_driver variable of type lcd_ll_par_driver_t.
const lcd_ll_par_driver_t	lcd_ll_par_driver
	Low-level parallel interface driver instance.

Low-level LCD API
Low-level functions are used to acquire a device, write commands with data to the device, or read data from the device and release it when it is no longer needed. They are usually called by the high-level functions such as lcd_init, lcd_fill, lcd_pixmap, etc., but can also be used by the application to implement low-level operations if needed.
void	lcd_ll_acquire (lcd_t *dev)
	Low-level function to acquire the device.

void	lcd_ll_release (lcd_t *dev)
	Low-level function to release the device.

void	lcd_ll_write_cmd (lcd_t dev, uint8_t cmd, const uint8_t data, size_t len)
	Low-level function to write a command.

void	lcd_ll_read_cmd (lcd_t dev, uint8_t cmd, uint8_t data, size_t len)
	Low-level function for read command.

void	lcd_ll_set_area (lcd_t *dev, uint16_t x1, uint16_t x2, uint16_t y1, uint16_t y2)
	Set the LCD work area.

High-level LCD API
The functions of the high-level LCD API are used by the application. They use the low-level LCD API to implement more complex operations.
int	lcd_init (lcd_t dev, const lcd_params_t params)
	Setup an LCD display device.

void	lcd_fill (lcd_t *dev, uint16_t x1, uint16_t x2, uint16_t y1, uint16_t y2, uint16_t color)
	Fill a rectangular area with a single pixel color.

void	lcd_pixmap (lcd_t dev, uint16_t x1, uint16_t x2, uint16_t y1, uint16_t y2, const uint16_t color)
	Fill a rectangular area with an array of pixels.

void	lcd_write_cmd (lcd_t dev, uint8_t cmd, const uint8_t data, size_t len)
	Raw write command.

void	lcd_read_cmd (lcd_t dev, uint8_t cmd, uint8_t data, size_t len)
	Raw read command.

void	lcd_invert_on (lcd_t *dev)
	Invert the display colors.

void	lcd_invert_off (lcd_t *dev)
	Disable color inversion.
