LIME EVB
GLYN LIME EVB – High End Graphic Controller Board for Evaluation and Full Production Use
The GLYN LIME EVB is a professional, low cost development tool for evaluation of display applications for engineers who are looking to develop their designs quickly and efficiently. The board is equipped with the industrial 2D graphic controller Fujitsu MB86276 (LIME). The LIME-EVB design is fully CE-compliant and can be used for both evaluation and full production purposes. The board measures only 68 X 53 mm and can therefore be integrated into the smallest of applications. With featured BGA package on board, this solution offers designers the facility to work with BGA packages without the need for any additional specialist equipment.
The kit is easy to integrate into existing embedded applications, completely taking over the graphics control. The external MCU host can connnect with the LIME EVB via the 16-bit data bus in multiplexed or non-multiplexed mode. If neither of these is available, the communication can run via the IIC bus. At 400KBit/s, the speed of communication is adequate for simple visualizations.
It features 8MB of SDRAM Graphic memory.
Another advantage is being able to drive up to two displays independently with a maximum resolution of 800*480 and single display up to 1280*768.
Integrated on the board is a Micronas VPX3226 that converts incoming video signals to the ITU656 signal, allowing up to 4 video inputs to be sequentially displayed. The LIME continuously processes this stream, and is able to scale it and patch it into the displayed image. The applications of the function are very far-reaching, including vehicle reversing cameras or industrial equipment surveillance.
The programmer is provided with an API, which is similar to the Open GL Standard. This user-friendly tool is quickly mastered. While the API is currently available for FUJITSU MCUs, GLYN has also prepared a wide variety of utilities for other MCUs, together with base-level initialization, using the C programming language.
