Sorry about the delay; things have been crazy here.

As mentioned in the main ReadMe, this does not support graphic LCDs (i.e, 12864 or other similar devices).

A RepRap Discount Smart Controller LCD interface w/ Smart Adapter (the one with the 20x4 character LCD, rotary encoder w/push button, extra push button and SD card slot; NOT the ones with a graphic LCD, this firmware doesn't - and won't - support those).

You will need to acquire compatible hardware in order to make it work.

Sorry to necro this issue would like to know what would be the technical specifications and or what is causing the LCD 12864 to not be supported, i know you said that you don't want to support it but what issues did you run into if any with trying to get the LCD to work?
