Custom firmware assistance? #3

Hello, really solid work with this project! I have a project I'm looking into using your firmware with a custom driver board I designed with two different panels of different resolutions. I'm looking to enable certain inputs. Is this something I may be able to ask for some assistance on? MST703 Prototype

Did you manage to compile, upload, and get a working firmware using my repo?

Thank you for responding! I have not tried compiling your firmware. (Edit: Actually I had somebody else compile it) Software is not exactly my strong suit, hardware is. I would be happy to pay you for any assistance if that’s possible?

Allow me to chime in and clarify this part. I've been working with thedrewm on getting this firmware working with this driver & some new displays. I have managed to set up Keil uVision and compile this firmware successfully, but we have yet to get it working on this custom driver. If you would like, we would absolutely love if you'd be able to guide us in the right direction to be able to get working PCB and panel definitions going for this firmware, as the MST703 is proving to be very lucrative for our end use case.

We're primarily trying to target 3-4 specific displays using this one driver board, which are the ones commonly used in electronics projects in the community we're part of. This community has been actively in need of a "universal" LCD driver that accepts the average range of standard definition input signals (15KHz 240p/480i, up to 480p) through a wide variety of input formats (RGBs, RGBHV, YPbPr, S-Video, CVBS). The end goal is to open source the hardware and hopefully provide our community with the "One Driver to Rule Them All" so to speak.

Again, we would greatly appreciate it if you decide to be of any assistance, either through GitHub or through private channels (we primarily converse on Discord). In any case, I greatly appreciate the work you've put into this firmware!

@Y2K-x not sure of how much assistance I can be without having access to the same hardware you guys are using, but send me the discord.

Hey! I believe I sent you a friend request on Discord, assuming your Discord username is the same as your Github's. If not, send me the correct username and I'll add that. We've been doing this all in a group DM on there, which makes it a bit harder to get you there haha

@Y2K-x I don't do discord much. My username is "csurf." with the dot at the end
